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.

Love to , where is it ?
Bowling clubs and golf clubs when I left Scotland………know yer place Timmy….as late as the mid 90s…..I’ve got some stories…..Tellin ya!!
In a civilised country like England…..open to all…..fully inclusive.Pay your membership fees…..Yer IN….
Just thought about this even before I read this article …..Spooky
Thought about it as I walked up the 18th fairway with my Wolves daft black mate who kicks all our asses at golf,my Villaboy mate whose dad is Erdington Irish and my Scouser Evertonian mate whose grandparents came from West Belfast……
England……fully inclusive…..open to all.
If Moyes gets the bag the Glazers better watch out. They’ll have set the bar so high it might be impossible for any successor. Remember last season, SAF won the title with an average pool of players – but he was able to coax outstanding performances from Scholes and Giggs when absolutely necessary. Moyes never had that luxury.
I got taken oot to the Dug Cafe today :-) at Loch Lomond shores, the dug was to get a wee play aboot whilst I bought lunch.
Then back to Stirling and for the first time in aboot 35 years, it was a walk around the Kings Park golf course with the dug, oh and ma wife :-)
Nice wee day oot
Hail Hail

ryecatcher-any idea why house prices in places like Dorking are so high?
Weefra
You are too modest buddy!!
Thanks, I’ll make a point of it if I’m through in time.

Weefra…..
Did that wee dug ever get a home?
I hope it was at yours mate?
burghbhoy
I meant, I will be there, just that I’m not a CQN legend. Hope that clears that up. Hahahahaha.

Bit of a Blue Seat Protest at the City of Manchester Stadium tonight?
As City go 2 up after 9 minutes.
2-0 Citeh after 10 mins,game over.
What times the meeting at the CQN gazebo
Jobo or Bada
I’ve got that much interest in that league, but who are they playing ?
Celtic for me and only Celtic
Celtic Celtic that’s the team for Me
Celtic Celtic onto Victory
:-)
TBJ
Did you get that text message I sent Friday :-)
Not heard from BT either
Hail Hail
Hey I was just thinking, me and Morrisey got a section 12 notice at the FAC demo in Aberdeen recently, anyone know how long it lasts? I could be in breach if there are more than 6 CQNers there this satureday
Badabing…..
Dorking property prices….
Why are they so high?
Supply and demand mate…..Simples
Factor in Russian Roubles and Israeli Shekels then probably explains it further….
What do you think?
ryecatcher
Yes indeed, the wee dug got re homed. We checked the next day. Unfortunately, we would rather not take another rescue animal, we already have 2 rescue animals, a lab/german pointer, and a cracking border collie bitch. We adore both of them as we have had tragic ends with 2 of our collies recently passing with cancer. But hey ho we continue on. Your interest in these things restore my confidence in human nature. Take a bow sir. :-)))

Cowiebhoy
I did indeed mate … Sorry been working like a dog the last two weeks so not had time to reply or come on here until tonight
I did say to lennybhoy I would try to get through and pick him up. Will find out if Bt is coming too
Man City make the biggest balls of a free kick as I’ve seen in a long time, leads directly to a West Brom break and a goal back.
Rye- there was/is an unwritten law ,among estate agents in places like Dorking for years,don’t sell houses to blacks.
Squire

Hail Hail!
Is there a podium for hearing the first cuckoo?
If there is I’m claiming it.
TBJ
I’m usually there about 1400 ish. Only because that’s the time the Larkie bus gets there. Usually hang around blethering till about 1445. Hope you make it and looking forward to meeting up. :-))))
