He wouldn't need a seat on the team coach either, since he apparently prefers to walk to games.

Rob Wilson is that Gringo Juniors real name.

I dont see at all how changing the teams to less with make our teams better in Europe. Only one team made any real dent on Europe in the 90s in the old Scottish Premier and that was Rangers in '93. Since then yes, the Likes of Rangers and Celtic had runs in Europe to the final and Aberdeen got out a decent group to only go out to a star studded Bayern Munich side but more often than not, most of our teams are out of Europe by August usually anyway. Occasionally the Old Firm have the forlorn hope of staying in "after christmas" but it's maybe happened half a dozen times in 20 years. Outwith that we're nearly always nearly men at best in Europe or abject. This year was no different. Making the league down to 10 just means you have to play a team at least 4 times a season for definite (which they ridiculed last season with Rangers and Celtic playing each other 7 times) so that just brings in stagnantation. 10 teams and more chance of relegation (play offs brought in) means more fear and teams afraid to rely on youth products. It's only in the last 5 years that we have finally come to terms that teams need youth development to survive. Lets not go back the way. We had this 10 years ago. It wasn't working so we changed it. Why on earth would we go back to a failed model? (Other than less teams = bigger split of tv money. Only logical explanation why teams support it.) 16 teams, 30 games and a 2 legged super cup competion at the start of the season. for League and cup winners (or runners up in league if league winners won cup) @ Hampden. 2 teams go down guaranteed. 1 team enters into a play off with the 1st division play off winners. Winner is in the SPL next season. 1st Division top 2 teams come up automatically, next 2 play each other to determine 1st division play of winners who then play 3rd bottom SPL team. This will take place between March and November (when European football finishes). During World and European championships the league would start 2 weeks earlier and finish a 2 weeks later due to high unlikelyhood of any of our players reaching latter stages anyway. The league would pause for the duration of the tournament. Teams would make their own arrangements with players as to whether they require time off (they shouldnt as their in the middle of a league season) Stadium criteria - As we probably only have 16 teams with 6000 all seater stadium we change the rule to focus soley on the all seater aspect and that the facilities in terms of toilets, food stalls, emergency exits etc all pass stringent criteria. All teams promoted will get 1 year to comply with the rules (with groundshare in use until so). If stadium is completed within the year they can resort to their own stadium providing groundshare agreement allows and there is no objection through police or security. Teams would maybe have to give a fortnights grace before next home game to allow fans to amend travel arrangements. The footballing authorities are so focussed on this tosh Mcleish report that does naught but state the bloomin obvious in some places and spraff a load of codswallap in others. I think we've seen in recent years that trusting a politician to sort something out (ie parliament building, Trams etc) is not the best way to go about something. I await the day the Scottish footballing authorities see sense and give me the job. I've made it known on a popular fans website I'd look at it if approached so they now have no reason to not do so. Thankyou and good morning!

I think Wolves fans used to call Davis - Dale. He was signed from Tividale. Consequently if the two new signings do play in the same game we could have 'Chip' and 'Dale' as our rescue rangers during the injury crisis.

Dougal! Seriously dude, please stop putting a damper on someting positive. to quote that kid in The Shining "Reddot, Reddot!

Don't see whats remotely positive?? All you Bannerman,CaleyD and that strange finger fella have achieved is to stir/wind up some of the pre-merger fans and open up some of the wounds that were healing quite nicely till this publication was put on line I tip my hat off to you if this was a fishing trip though as you've certainly had a few bites I've ran out of red dots but you'll be getting one tomorrow when I log back on dougal
