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.

Henrik the dug is a rescue Borador (cross Border Collie / Labrador)
He can play fitba as good as the guy he’s named after….Kills my ankles chasing him in the garden these days when there’s a ba’ involved.
25 kgs when the Vet weighed him fully grown at 2…….26 kgs five years on…..Eats more calories than me,Mrs Rye and my two daughters combined on a daily basis…..he is a feckin gannet in disguise.
Great dugs…….Anything with border collies in are incredibly energetic …..but so bliddy energy sapping.
Always rescue dugs mate……..always…always….always
TBJ
He’s away for the weekend. :-)))

Can’t believe Man City want to increase there capacity to 60,000.Lots of empty seats last 2 games and that’s them going for the title.

Correct, there is something special about taking on a rescue animal. It doesn’t always work out, as we have found, but 99% of the time you will have a wonderful animal, but, more importantly, the greatest friend you could ever hope for. My big lab cross, is the best friend I have had in years. :-))))

Is there a podium for hearing the first cuckoo?”
I knew I would regret scrolling past The Singing Detective.
Cowiebhoy
I’ve a good idea of who you are.
My grandads brother worked behind the bar for years.
Was it Mick ?
Weefra….
You are a gem sir….an absolute diamond.
My oldest daughter graduated from University of Glasgow last year and she could pick from lots of career options.
She wants to work with rescue puppies on minimum wage.
As the guy who paid rent for a few flea infested flats she lived in the West End……maybe I should be annoyed?
Not in the slightest mate…….love her even more for this.
No, big Jim

If you get a chance, try to read one of Donna Tart`s three novels. The Secret History and The Little Friend are the two I have read. I would be interested in your take on either one of them.
Cheerio,
JJ
