I see a justification for yesterday’s vote has been issued. The chairman of one club spoke to several of my contacts in the media with a completely different version, using both the F word and the C word.
Apparently he believes several SPL clubs are being led by the C word – Celtic. Or to be more precise, “F***ing Celtic”, a name reserved for use by a specific demographic. All off the record, of course, but incredibly indiscrete, betraying his world view.
If that’s how you feel, man up and say so publicly. Tell us who you think is really bringing Scottish football to its knees, I am sure everyone will agree this is a time for frankness.

Strange how the Laptop Loyal and the hundits are very happy at yesterday’s decision?
Ntassoolla – the reported trades puts the total volume is shares sold into the market around 3M roughly 85% of the total volume for all trades. Can RFC be shorted and if so will the short being closed show up in the reported trades?
Mr Gilmour
Would that be the same F*****g Celtic who granted your side the pleasure of a Guard of Honour only recently ??

Roddy Forsyth is frequently wrong. Like all Zombies, he lives in a parallel universe.
Forsyth is nothing more than a hurting Hun – who lost all his shares when his favourite club were liquidated.
Easy answer is do not give St Mirren another penny.
Burgas – that’s quite interesting. Is your license the same as that granted to the licensee of a pub it club?
Thou does protest too much…
St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour
claims Celtic’s offer to alter the SPL’s
voting structure was not a serious
concession of power.
Gilmour was one of just two chairmen,
along with Ross County’s Roy MacGregor,
to vote down plans for league
reconstruction.
The plan would have seen the SPL and
three Scottish Football League divisions
merge into a 12-12-18 set-up.
Hearts chief executive David Southern
revealed after the Hampden meeting that
Celtic had offered to do away with the
11-1 majority for votes on league
reconstruction in a bid to push a deal
through.
Southern called the move a ‘significant
compromise’, while Aberdeen chairman
Stewart Milne called Gilmour ‘selfish’ and
unable to explain his motives.
But Gilmour rejected the claims, insisting
the offer was a desperate attempt to push
through the proposals.
He said: “We have been against the 11-1
voting structure for a long time. It was
suggested at the meeting that they would
cherry-pick one piece from the votes
requiring an 11-1 majority and replace it
with a 75 per cent majority.
“But that was only as a means of getting
their proposal passed. That was totally
unacceptable to St Mirren.”
And Gilmour also rubbished suggestions
his decision to block the proposal had
anything to do with fast-tracking Rangers
through the leagues in Scotland.
“It’s ridiculous,” he said. “This is a club
that voted Rangers into Division Three
and voted a director (Ken McGeoch) off
our board because of alleged links to
Rangers.
“We are also a supporter of a 42-team
solution, not an SPL2, and that would
therefore have no short-cut for Rangers
back to the top-flight.
“Where somebody would get the idea that
we were doing this to help Rangers is
beyond me.”
Anyone know at what did the deady bears’ share price finish today?
I’m glad the “What is Efe’s best position?” debate is back on. I say he would be best in midfield as opposed to defence. Give him another try Neil!
well if Gilmour did say that, let me be the first to say I hope his pissant club gets f****** relegated next season
we’ll see how chipper he is then
Doc.
I see my presence at the George Square demonstration,was instantly forgettable.and I thought forgetfulness was a senior citizen complaint HH.

St Mirren explain their decision yesterday.. As I said then, well done to them for sticking to their beliefs..
Sun journalist and a supposed tim

The media need Sevco in the top league as soon as possible – newspaper sales are dropping through the floor.
He’s probably thinking of his own job.
Despite all the hype surrounding Sevco’s attendances in the fourth-tier (most of it nonsense) the Zombies hate every minute of it. They certainly don’t need to read about where they are.
Gilmour still hasn’t really explained his reason for being a bam yesterday.
Agree Rocket Man, He’s quick ,fit and good on the ball, almost the ideal midfielder if he improves on his passing tbh.
Celtic support should most certainly boycott st mirren until glamour is gone.
was liquidated

It’s a temporary licence which must be applied for and granted, based on the licence i hold for for my own premises.

Should also have stated that the times must be verified on the temporary application, apart from that there is no difference.
Just noticed Chuckles had a Saints tie on there.
el maestro – another reason could be that if he is further away from our goal and tries to beat two; we are less likely to concede.
If you were at the FAC demo and your name is not below, please add it, and I am sorry I don’t remember the names of all the people I met. I only remembered Miss Doc because she was reading over my shoulder!

Efi isnt as strong as vic but may well replace him, vic isnt the best of passers IMHO but has tremendous presence, great in the air and very fit but picks up too many needless bookings mainly for poorly timed tackles, Efi to me may just be ideal, would still love us to get a Lubo type player playing just in front of brown! the boy Rogic is a year way i think!
I always assumed the FC was Football Club!

Full Stewart Gilmour quote from yesterday is:

Burgas – cheers. How come the license holders I know (2 city centre pubs, 1 club and 2 country pubs), do need to provide tap water free then? If its specifically requested that is.
Doc is Neil Lennon
I made my contribution at the meeting point at 11.45. There was a young girl beside you carrying a tricolour. You were quite busy as donations were coming at you from literally every direction.
The banner was first class.
Evening Bhoys,
Been offline for a couple of weeks due to family illness. Catching up, I note Paul’s article which is hot on the heels of the St Mirren club statement. What a shame that the clubs were unable to come to an agreement yesterday. Perhaps the time has come for the supporters to make their own reconstruction proposal. Here’s mine.
Rather than damage SFL First-Division clubs who stand to suffer as a result of failed reconstruction proposals, perhaps the SPL ought to propose a second SPL division. Since a
wider agreement with the SFL is not possible, perhaps ten or so SFL 1 clubs might be interested. Subject to suitable club accounts, FFP-compliant business plan and stadium safety requirements – we don’t want to risk exposing anybody to, say, asbestos – we could then establish that division. In order to facilitate the desired pyramid, the proposals could include a clause that, subject to negotiation and (say) a two-year moratorium on relegation from (and therefore, promotion to) the new second SPL division, SFL clubs who meet the new stringent criteria will be considered for promotion.
If one or two clubs want to vote against such reasonable proposals, the should be reminded that the original SPL was a breakaway and that they need not participate if that is their choice.
Hail Hail!
Says what a state Scottish Football is in,when 2 clubs with a combined ST fanbase of about 6,000 between them,can scupper plans which bigger clubs find progressive.

Gilmour would get on well with the enablers – that’s the kind of dialogue they like to use.
I honestly believe we should just look
after ourselves from now on in……let
them all stew in their own piss.
