You want to know the real social cost of Scottish football’s exclusion from the league structure England and Wales share? It’s the lack of pitches, nets, strips, balls and coaching certifications that the £1bn bounty, promised by the Barclay’s Premier League last night to the grassroots game.
£1bn to the grassroots is a huge sum. It dwarfs what taxpayers can afford and will provide a series of benefits our kids and amateur players are denied.
If we’re part of the UK, we should be part of the UK’s commercial opportunities. Every youth team in the land are excluded because of the actions of a cartel.
What are the SFA doing about it? Nothing. Their plans don’t seem to require world-class youth facilities.

Irish Whiskey v Scotch
Cheers for replies. I meant single malt in my question so I’m guessing Jameson’s doesn’t stack up well against malt.
What about premium Irish whiskey like Powers? Any good.
Fave malt btw – Glendronach, all ages (closely followed by Glenfarclas & Benriach). Was given the Glendronach 21yr Parliament for Xmas. So good I nearly wept.
Anyway…aff oot, as they say.
Cheers VP

Some unfair comments about hooper
We signed him on the cheap..he came scored alot of goals for us then there was talk of england call up etc
Team from his own country offer him a good deal to play in a more competitive league and chance to impress england coaches most weekends.
Cant blame the lad for giving it a go.
His work rate wasnt the greatest but he usually got on the scoresheet..exactly what you want your striker to do.

Fan power got the huns oot the league – talking didny
Fan power will get res-12 resolved pronto
Res-12 is designed to keep fans on the ootside guessing
The 5 way agreement is another load of guff which is the equivalent of a boxer being sent into the ring to box wi his hauns tied.
Fan power is the ‘real’ source of energy that will get the job done but, not in Celtic’s case as our fans are prisoners in their own house(CP)…which suits a colluding Celtic ‘bored’ to a T.
The ‘only’ way that Scottish football can be saved is by getting a Celtic Board led by rebellious Celtic fans like Jeanette Findlay who will not be ‘dissed’ by the exponents of anti-Celtic witch craft at the SFA / SMSM etc.
Res-12 covers the period in our history were…the Celtic ‘bored’ looekd the other way to save the huns.
Sack The Masons OnThe Board – CSC
Having said that…oor best players were masons.
Anyway…….oot.
“See you Josie………!”
Had a great night at The Kano Foundation annual fundraiser last night. I had the pleasure of having the company of BMCUWP, his Dad, two Sisters, steinreignedsupreme, eldiegobhoy and H, leftclicktic, delaney’ s dunky and ayrshiretim.
Wonder what the Gibraltar Team made of it.
Right off to Mass.
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

I agree that fan power is the only way to resolve the res-12 (and other) issues but dont think its going to happen. If we can be told that we’re losing £10m a year without the huns and swallow it then we can be told just about anything. Does this mean in the ten years preceding their demise we took in £100m , generated solely from their existence? Cant remember anyone declaring that in ! Anyway, like yerself Im aff oot,

Henke,
Like your choice of favourite malts and if you like them, try Auchentoshan Three Wood.
Unlike most other Scottish Malts and like Irish ones, it is triple distilled.
Very smooth. Far too easy to drink:-)
NS
Good morning friends and a Happy Palm Sunday from a damp but bright-ish East Kilbride. Surely for once Scotland will win comfortably against someone ;-)
NS
I have a few free passes to their distill art just below the Kingston bridge
I need to get along there soon
Anyway off to mass to get my new palms
Does anyone know if Biton and Johansen came through their games without injury last night?
Last day of my fortnight off,heading to Glasgow/London/Swindon.
Had an absolute ball,thanks to my ever-welcoming and forgiving family and friends. My grateful thanks are woefully inadequate.
Rounded off the trip with a great night at The Kano Foundation. My two sisters and my Dad were in the company of greatness-Steinreignedsupreme,Ayrshire Tim,Delaneys Dunky,Leftclicktic,Lennybhoy,El Diego Bhoy and friend. Just enough for them to tolerate me!
Thanks,folks-and to all the others I met on the night-I had a ball!
When i was a kid i used to love it when our players were in their national side….well….they were probably all Scottish in those days with the odd Irish one.
Nowadays i prefer them to be left out, injury free and sitting at home raring to get back out there playing for us all nice n fresh.
bmcuwp
Have a good trip back!
It was great to see you again :)
Morning all.
Not a great day down here weather-wise. Still,the clocks have gone forward and Holy Week is upon us. Can only be good for the ole soul.
What would be good for my soul would be the resigning of Gary Hooper. For me, he’s the best centre forward we’ve had in a long long time. Don’t suppose he’d come back any way.
Well…..im off to gloss skirtings :(
Is there a worse DIY job?
Thunder Road –
cleaning an oven and a top grill? Saving that one for this afternoon ;-)
THUNDERROAD
Cheers,bud. Great night last Saturday with you too.
DIY? Nip down to Kilwinning,my Mum has a never-ending list of fiendish DIY tasks. Glossing is a picnic compared to some of her ideas!
Boaby
Have a safe trip back down the road. Great night last night amidst some really good people. As you say, real quality at our table but that was only because Micktt wisnae there ;-)
Had to laugh at your sisters “Naw, we don’t dance” First choon and the two of them were up there jigging away.
Anyway let’s hope Ayrshire isnae struck by a tsunami anytime soon as its seems we have no contingency plan!

You on that plane yet? I’ve left you some stunning Scottish weather,no need to thank me!
Have a good trip and a great holiday. Remember,invoke the Ayrshire Tims Escape Clause when you need some guid swally company.
It’s like the Batman beacon,but wi a pint of Guinness lighting up the sky…

Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible is published every year. He reviews and scores about 4000 whisky’s and (whiskeys ) from all over the world ,reviews them each year so you can tell if the one you like it is still up to scratch.
Costs about half the price of a decent bottle and is well worth the investment as it will save you from poor decisions. He does mot follow the mantra ‘scotch good e erything else bad’ and he is not afraid to give accolades to good whisky regardless of where it comes from eg India ,Japan
Online reviewer Ralfy.com is also worth checking out.

Shhhh,that’s a secret!
Aye,grand night. Good to see you again,mate. Did you ever get that selfish wee choob outa the toilet or did you just piss on his chips?

It’s a horrible job to do…..i will give you that, but it’s not DIY is it?
It’s a bit like saying darts is a sport :)
Anyway…..have fun!
BMCUWP
Safe journey home
Great to catch up ……see you next time
BMCUW
Yes, eventually. They all got off at Kilwinning, which really shocked me!
Mibbees catch up in July esp if the Guinness is still 1.99 a pint!

I’ll contact you nearer the time to ensure we don’t miss each other.
Now,about that season ticket…
AYRSHIRTIM
Musta been from Stevenston. Kilwinning boys don’t throw up bevvy. It cost a fortune,it stays where it is!
Guinness is only £1.50 Thursday/Friday after 5pm. Thankfully too late for me or my liver would explode!

Cheers,bud. My pleasure,trust me!

Same goes for snooker and golf. They’re just games.
Any ideas why some things are games and others sports? For me physical fitness is one deciding factor.
Many happy returns to the long suffering Mrs BT. Have a great day K and make sure he spoils you!
