I wonder if we will see two rival Scottish Premier Leagues next season? We could see a SPL consistent with the threats made to SFL clubs last week, let’s call it SPL Loyal, with Hibs, KIlmarnock and a few others. They would sit atop a feeder league containing whoever they could attract from the SFL and Sevco, who due to fan power would be excluded from the top division, no matter how few teams that division had.
Meanwhile a rival SPL could setup, let’s call it SPL Solvent, with Celtic, those from the Gang of 10 who realise they are better-off participating in a league which is likely to survive until next May, along with the teams who last season finished near the top Scottish Football league.
SPL Solvent would make no threats to exclude SFL clubs who were due promotion on merit, and would therefore attract the balance of SFL clubs; which is likely to be the overwhelming majority. This league would contain the only club with the ability to underwrite the commitments needed to bring broadcasters and commercial partners on-board. It would also be free of, moral and ethical questions, where clubs are united with their fans on what it means to organise sporting events.
It’s not the worst idea floated in recent weeks.

Looks like the horse has just had a dump too!

Lol well spotted.
Personally speaking, or typing, I prefer to be entertained when watching football.
How long should I watch the game tonight, before putting Mamma Mia on again?
Dick Byrne
Great picture!
Look at the balance and poise!
Do we see much of that today?
Pete
my wife has one, she loves it..
vmhans wife has one too, seems it is good for internet use too..
PetetheBeat -the Sweetheart has one, just the basic version, very useful for going on holiday. More room in the case for my reading selections.
From last thread,before Paul pulled the plug.

PFayr,
My mate is in Tenerife.
If you are near the Fiddler tonight,ask Gerry to point out Neil to you.
If he’s there, tell him that I said tat he has to buy you a pint.
share on F’book or Twitter
I think the moral of the story is –
Don’t get a tatoo anywhere near yer moles or freckles.
Makes sense tae me.
Pete
it also helps when on holiday as it saves on baggage allowance…
Philbhoy – Only when Oldtim is getting his wallet out.

Think the basic one can now be purchased for approximately £89 both the missus and my daughter have them and as they only need it for reading, it’s ideal.
You can just make out a youthful Dick Byrne in that picture sitting on the ole Jungle wall

oldtim is more like Usain Bolt going to the bar…
Dick Byrne
I’ve only met Oldtim once, at the CQN Golf Day last year and wholly concur!
God bless you Oldtim!
Ole Dick – that’s a bit walletist.
Philbhoy- so you’re volunteerin’ to put the ole matelot back in his hammock this year?
BSR – That game sticks in my mind as I got knocked back at the boy’s gate & had to pay full price.
According to my local bookie today is not July 1st

Much as I like him, I think I will give his hammock a wide berth, with respect, of course.
I thought locals in Ayrshire had 6 fingers
PeteThe Beat
They have Awe Naw’s recommendation so what more can you say.
The missus bought me one as a birthday present back in February and I bought jher one as a birthday present in March!
There’s always somebody around who has hundreds of books on discs that you’ll load into your Kindle. The main saving for me will be on not having to carry loads of books on holiday which apart from the weight aspect I find books suffer in humid conditions.
Zbsyzek,
My son was in Poznan and Gdansk working for the duration of Ireland’s involvement.
He has nothing but wholesome praise for the warmth of the hospitality from his hosts.
Congtatulations.
Kindle people,
I have a kindle. I also got about 3 GB of books downloaded from a work friend. That is hundreds and hundreds of the things. If there is anyway of getting them to you, i have no problems with sharing them!
If you buy a Kindle download books from Demonoid, load via Calibre.

Congtatulations to you too my friend!

Paul67,
Interesting you should mention Hibs.
Rod Petrie keeping an eye on the money while espousing integrity.
He has been found out big time
I think he still thinks that the stand up and be counted campaign is in operation.

Basic kindle is fine
Use it all the time and access to a huge range of materials
A good selection of Celtic books at decent prices

Zbyszek -congratulations on putting on an excellent tournament. The technical level of play, with one or two exceptions, has been very good and a nice change from the dreary ball thrashing of the SPL.
**********************************
DBBIA sorry to say sir but you have that wrang, Zbyszek is undoubtedly a clever bloke etc but he never put on the tournament.
No need to thank me for the info, its free don’t ye know :¬)
