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.

And cowboy pictures.
The latest side splitting nonsense from Bill McMurdo, absolutely hilarious: http://billmcmurdo.wordpress.com/blog-2/
I can imagine him hyping himself up before writing his daily blog, Land of Hope and Glory blasting in the background, he gazes lovingly at his giant size poster of the queen and then starts to write, the results are comedy gold of the highest order.
Please Bill, keep ’em coming these blogs really make my day.

“Impeach Grimmond McCrummoch.”
Gallant Oscar worth a place at 3/1 with PP
The EPL CEO,Scudamore, made a statement recently to the effect that ManU’s league position was bad for EPL business.
It would seem that the Premier League needs a strong ManU.
Canamalar & Kayal33,
Just noticing the interweb awash with news yet nothing official, and as googybhoy posted, are there not rules for FCs listed on exchanges to follow?
I hope he doesn’t “do the decent thing” as is perhaps being suggested by the dynamics of this ‘breaking rumour’…

The EPL does not necessarily need a strong MU
The EPL BRAND maybe does.
Hell slap it into them.
Shutthefrontdoor wins the Irish national
Barry Garrity rode it.
And owner JP McMannus coins it in again .
Your doing a grand job there Auldheid:-), pulling our governing bodies mindset forward not one but two centuries is a massive task but is happening, patience is being rewarded . Thanks
The more time goes on the more comprises the sfa look in relation to oldklub and how they operated,
Irony is nooklub only highlight sfa impotence on rule breaking.
If we had a proper governing body ruling with clarity,clear in judgement my sides would not be sore with laughin.but they are,
I suppose the more time goes on the more the sfa are comprimised by nooklub too.
Where are they at the moment in relation to its current shenenigans?
What do they know? Why are they not acting as the circus gets more and more surreal
Squire,
Yea and it resonates with what we were told that Scottish football needs.
They are all at it.
Sample of McMurdo
“Regulars on my blog lament the decline in Protestant values and culture in our land but these come as a direct consequence of Protestant faith. You can’t have Protestantism without the faith that gives it its name. It is not the effects of Protestantism that people have shunned but Protestantism itself i.e.faith in Christ and the Bible as God’s Word to mankind.
Britain’s greatness – and unity – came from a love for this Book. This love was common throughout the British isles and it dissipated all nationalist and tribal enmities, forging a glorious oneness and unity that led to the greatest empire the world has ever seen.”
Those who know me will tell you I am not often speechless but that is an absolute hoot…
the battered bunnet,
jeez I thought it was just me!
Spill please bankiebhoy!!

A six year contract with a break clause at one year isn’t a six year contract, it’s a one year contract.

I have no idea what Bankie means, but in my head, he means impeach alex salmond.

There was a rumour going round a couple of weeks ago, that Van Gaal has been lined up for the Man. U. job.
Haven’t checked the price for him yet.

Man U will have a pay out clause in Moyes contract ….
Certain events will affect this ….failure to qualify for the CL will most certainly be one

Squire, vmhan,
It was also reported that Rooney was the poster boy for the PL and his image appeared all over Asia on huge billboards and screens.
As if those poor people have not suffered enough natural disasters over the last few years.
It would explain though where his reported £300k per week wages comes from.
Obscene on many levels.
Shame that other Oscar Gallant Oscar fell in the national.
