Yesterday’s Sunday Mail exposé on attempts by the SPFL to change the balance of power within the SFA in favour of the professional clubs, while changing their bowling club committee-approach to running the game, was worthy of some merit but clearly the result of an SFA leak designed to undermine the proposed changes.
Any organisation which has a built-in requirement for office-bearers to have enough spare time on their hands in the years before nomination to attend mind-numbingly boring committee meetings is set on a path for mediocrity. Only those not busy enough with real world issues and challenges will qualify, meaning your best talent is never eligible, which is why we end up with a president like Campbell Ogilvie, who met the mediocre standards and is kept there by equally able under-achievers.
The Sunday Mail try to make out that the proposed move is a grab for cash, although they also explain why this cannot really be the case. It’s not a grab for cash, it’s not a subversive plot by Premiership clubs, it is an acknowledgement by the professional clubs that the systems of governance and administration in the game is inept and that they do not currently have the control to change things.
Our game needs deliverance from the bowling club committee.

The Unthank Road…..
My dad taught me hate is an emotion that eventually devours you…..I learned from him.
We both agreed that we hated Rangers though…..
Glad they died in his lifetime and didn’t devour us.
Wish my old grandfather would have been alive when the bastards who did him so wrong died.
Hail Hail

Apart from that example,you are correct.
Too,strong an emotion to waste on things which aren’t worth it.

I abhor (which I think is worse than hate, if not, hate) child and animal abusers. They are the lowest form of human life because they can get away with it. Children and animals put their full trust in the adults that are privileged to be responsible for them, any betrayal of that trust should be………. Och don’t go there. Once again, Night Night.

We were in Malaga last month. Impossible to find a bad restaurant. Take 5 minutes to visit the 16th century Cathedral, it is amazing, lots of good tapas bars nearby.

But would still use a muzzle till it gets used to it’s surroundings.
I tend not to muzzle as it puts people off approaching him, he is very friendly with people, he is always on the lead so can be restrained when required for small dogs, most people don’t realise how laid back they are

last story before bed
As a 10 year old I used to walk next doors greyhound, racing name “Red Man” , pet name Rusty, he did the impossible and won two consecutive days, flapper tracks mind, came home to find next door and my grandad drunk as skunks, drinking vast amounts of whisky out of mugs. I think he had his fair holiday money on it. Mother was mortified, prim schoolteacher. neighbour evicted, grandad sent to bed. Me, I was a wee clipe, I told everybody. I still laugh when I think of it
I know Oscar and Oscar knows wine

BRENDAN RODGERS has revealed the influence that has brought Liverpool to the brink of their first title success in 24 years – CELTIC!
Rodgers was fanatical about the Parkhead side as he was growing up in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
And the Anfield boss has modelled the attacking system of the present team on his boyhood heroes.
He admitted: “When I was growing up, my dad just liked to watch good, entertaining football.
“The great Brazilian teams were among his favourites. My grandad loved Liverpool on the TV when we were at home.
“I grew up watching a lot of Celtic and Manchester United.
“I loved it when Celtic were on the TV. To me, they had some very special players.
“Paul McStay was a wonderful, influential player in the middle of the park.
“Danny McGrain was brilliant at right-back. I really enjoyed watching the way he played his role in the team.
“And, of course, they had Packie Bonner in goal and he was the Irishman in the team at the time.
“When you are young your dad is your hero and, even though he was never a sportsman, he was into great technical players.
“That was all that was ever spelt out to me when I was young, the technique of players.
“You’ve got to be brave and you’ve got to be clever to be a technical player.
“Coaches have to encourage the players to express themselves. Just let them develop and grow, rather than sabotage that quality and freedom.
“That’s what I am doing at Liverpool. I want the players to be allowed to play.
“I want to see players in my team like a Paul McStay or a Chris Waddle and so many others who were great attacking players of their generation.”
Rodgers knows the Merseyside outfit require only seven points from their last three games to bring the championship to Anfield for the first time since 1990.
Celtic legend Kenny Dalglish was boss back then while ex-Hoops gaffer John Barnes was in the line-up alongside the likes of Alan Hansen, Stevie Nicol, Peter Beardsley and Bruce Grobbelaar.
And Rodgers has insisted he will not be looking for any favours from anyone else as they home in on the flag.
They face Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday and the Reds’ gaffer said: “No-one has helped us to win 11 games on the spin.
“No-one has helped us to score 96 goals. Actually, I believe it is going to be a brilliant game when Chelsea visit next weekend.
“We’ll be right up for it, that’s for sure.”

Good point, but the main problem being, the dog get’s spooked and lashes out. Severe circumstances. Not necessarily the dogs fault, but is it worth the risk until you can trust him??? Time is the healer for any animosity any animal may possess. This is of course IMHO. :-)))

Ryecatcher – I get shot down all the time so I am used to it! I had this copy this morning but didn’t post as tomorrow’s papers have had it so we’ll see if any publish. Just a wee experiment.
our revenge will be the laughter of out children,
