Indeed! Now update your blog, it's needing a wee spruce up since the last entry :)

Every cloud has a...tomorrow is another...always look on the bright...nah, none of these apply to Leigh Griffiths. Car's been crushed, i hope he'd just blown his bank balance on it. Ha ha!

After the game has ended a.k.a the final whistle has sounded, yes you're right, and I don't think they'd even try. But before the game has ended, they will absolutely stop you, and probably make an example out of anyone disrupting a game in play. All im saying is, its hard enough getting a job as it is, without a caution to your name as well. If that's what happens to some, then I wonder if it will be worth it? It will be a party and a great day out regardless.

Thats the spirit, as long as its not your money eh? If you are on the pitch, you may get a caution from the Police, and you may be required to declare that on any job or further education application. The club may get a fine, but if they do, you can guarantee you will get one too. Personally I don't give two hee haws if people do go onto the pitch early, but you can bet your bottom dollar (you may need it if you do a premature pitch rush) that the stewards and Police are well aware of the possibility of people coming on early, and they will be very draconian with people who do. "But Celtic did it..." aye, off to Parkhead then.

Nobody's saying it's malice. The fact is the game lasts until the ref blows the final whistle. Until then it's a spectator sport, and what possible purpose is there to run on before the whistle? ICT, TB, MM, the players and I dare say, the majority of fans, simply do not want the last game of the season disrupted until the referee blows the whistle to end the SFL days. Enjoyment? No problem! After the whistle.

Very poor. RC went on a cup run, and won 2 games where they punched above their weight....and that's enough to be selected in the manager of the year awards? 2 games? Who selects the managers? Farcical.

Doesnt seem too difficult this one. Wait for whistle. Whats difficult about that? Of course people cant run on til the game is over!! Do some fans here have premature celebration problems?

Calm down! That wee traitor McGeady wishes he was as good as Hayes. I'd have Hayes over him anytime. Fair enough, my bad, he's like a young Aaron Lennon

Hayes pilaged Ayr, so impressive, like a young McGeady...3 years please, then i'll relax...

Mowbray done well at Hibs though. We need a manager that is consistently sh*te. Always thought Sandy Clark was rubbish. Yeah, Mowbray doesnt get a bad rep because he was using his attractive, attacking style...but in truth, he bought rubbish players. Liam Brady was pretty rubbish too...lost 5-2 to Neuch?tel Xamax from Switzerland in Uefa cup...

Thanks Speaking on BBC

All the eggs are in one basket, and they've all hatched. The fat lady has sung. We've crossed the bridge. It's amazing how Dundee threw it away. Their players have to be ashamed of themselves really. They got lazy, got arrogant and paid the price. They never, ever thought any club could go on a run like that. But they were wrong, and ICT turned up the heat to lava settings, and Dundee simply couldnt get motivated again...it's a crying sham(e)

ICT have been relatively blessed with managers, Pele, Robertson, and now Butcher. I wonder who is the worst scottish manager or manager of a scottish team? I'd say John Barnes, Bobby Williamson, Graham Rix, Peter Grant, Liam Brady,

Airdrie have really done well huh? wonder if we beat Ayr will they have a fighting chance...that would be some turnaround at both ends of the table... Ayr or Airdrie...two teams enter...one team leaves

Good spot, DC.... Very interesting and encouraging read. Yep, well spotted. I hope they will stay together, at ICT. Talks will be starting this morning at the stadium.

Nice... Dundee as s*** as a Butcher's log Tayside go by the Wayside Inverness McG-clinch the Title Raith's Hill sinks Melville Dundee's Promotion life ends with strife in Fife

As much as I always believed in TB, i didnt think this was possible...amazing amazing amazing feat. Remarkable. Really,truly, unbelievable. Outstanding achievement. Brilliant effort. Fantastic work guys. Excellent stuff. Sterling shift lads. Wonderful job. :D

Thing is, against a 12-man board/clique, what chance does any CEO have? Unless that 12-man board mirrors the CEO's appetite/vision, its a recipe for disaster. GS was appointed as they though a football man would be good PR. It was. But what they failed to realise was he is not an administrator. As Craig Brown stated, it's the SFA's makeup that makes progress/change unlikely. They meet so seldom, agree on very little, and take an age to approve anything, that reealistically, under the present SFA set up, nothing radical or meaningful will ever happen. A hard nose CEO will still be handcuffed as much as a softy one would be. It's kind of like sending Mike Tyson and Graham Norton into a pen of 7 hungry lions...it matters not what either do, as the lions have the upper hand by a country mile. (I made that analogy myself...another glass of wine for my cleverness :D )

Craig Brown "Im astonished...I was 16 years workin for the SFA...worked under three CEOs...i thought Gordon was an inspired appointment...the wheels turn very slowly at the SFA because of the committee structure and it must be frustrating for a guy who's full if initiative and i'm sure Gordon is and was...I think the committe structure would get to him...he must have been frustrated for sure" Jim Traynor and Chic Young despise GS because he was media/football/agent/executive/SFA and got the plum job...those two have egos the size of dinosaurs, and know nothing, sod all, hee haw, about football..they're hacks that feed off controversy alone, that's all they have. C'mon! Traynor? Really? Traynor vs Craig Brown...tough choice :023: GS is a football man who couldn't do s*** because of the SFA committee

When David Taylor left in 2007 for UEFA he said ""You don't have to walk far to see poor facilities and the government should be doing something about it," said Taylor...We need 1500 upgraded pitches across Scotland. This would bring up to speed with Holland and Norway." Andy Roxburgh said in 2009 about the SFA "They do need help, there's no doubt about that. It needs community help, political help and it needs funding." GS resigning wont change a thing. Peat has a year to go as president but should leave now. Current VP Campbell Ogilvie is rumoured to be in the running for CEO. CaleyD, i agree, until we see this report, we can't attack or praise it...however, as the quotes and plenty of people's opinions agree on, its not GS or indeed Peat (though he is an obstacle to change, no doubt) that is the problem. Report 16 team league 500m pound investment from government SFA/SPL/SFL radicalised More playing areas, less housing Get kids playing football, not video games What will happen 16 team league (will be voted down - vested interests) 500m pound investment from government (will say over 15 years, and never do it) SFA/SPL/SFL (again, voted down - vested interests) More playing areas, less housing (playing areas dont make money, that's what matters to govt and councils) Get kids playing football, not video games (in this day and age, some parents are either too busy working or in many cases now sadly, too lazy or selfish - video games - much easier thanks...) Firstly, need new laws in the game - no voting with vested interests!

I wonder when we get to see this report? It doesnt take a genius to work out whats wrong - infact, most avid supporters of the game would probably be able to come up with a solid report. The Scottish game fails because we close community centres and increase policing. We build on green belts and allow video games to take over. No amount of reports or rejigging will get kids back playing footie every night for hours unless its grassroots, community led, basic society and family improvements. Its no fluke developing countries produce stars - time spent playing as youth equals good players. we need the SFA and SPL to become pals, first and foremost. I think GS was doing his best...

Yep, it's clear HC, and the only time he gets involved is to throw around criticism from up on high. The scary thing is, he has commissioned this report to keep the heat off him and his buddies. He reckons people will be happy with the sacrificial lamb of GS. Society generally needs a figure of blame. Look at all the furore around social work - Sharon Shoesmith sacked - maybe she wasn't perfect, but she sure does come in handy so that we all don't have to shoulder any of the blame. We scapegoat as a natural reaction. Scottish Football is in the state it is because we (society in general, there are some who do amazing work) let developers build on parks, allow councils to put "No ball games" signs up, allow our kids to watch DVDs or play video games for 10 hours a day, dont volunteer or assist in community leagues, dont spend time with kids outside, tie ourselves up in red tape, stuff kids with junk food, give them awful role models... As long as GS is to blame everything is ok, everything is ok, everything is ok, everything is ok....

Yep, gets my vote!!! Please please tannoyman...pay heed to the masses

And what of Peat? GS is gone, yes, and then what? GS had three years...3. What he tried to do was ignored or mothballed. GS is the fall guy. As Craig Brown said, in all his time, and working under three other Chief Execs, GS was the most inspired appointment...Craig Brown is a man most listen to.
