Chalie Nicholas was very scathing of the proposed new structure on Sky today. He was not an amoured of Charles Green at all. I seem to remember the word barking being used. He paticulary disliked the idea of the points being reset to zeroi for the playoff league.

Hi thank you for your answer , as an ex Bury supporter I used to get very annoyed about being called a Manc. I see were you are coming from. But my point is that if either City or United had been put in the bottom tier I would expect Bolton would have got increased gates. Anyway ty for your answer.

I wasn't being serious I must apolgise to Philip - Must have had too many toddies that day. I could make a good Ref though on a good day. I used to Ref junior football, but my main games are Rugby League, Badminton , and cricket. I still play Badminton Not bad at Contract Bridge, Monopoly, or Risk. Or just growing old. or below

I agree with this entirely I was wondering as a relitive newcomer to Scotland, why in the great City of Glasgow that other teams within it's boundries struggle so much . I would be interested to know if the gates at ST. Mirren, or possibly Partick Thistle have grown at all now Rangers are out of the SPL.

No feud at all. Here's the unpleasant email I sent. It was a response to outlandish comments you were making on Scottish Independence. My point stands. You are asad person with a real chip on your shoulder.

I'm 70 and I would be more use than Philip

I just thought he could play in the pocket and do some coaching, remember he played for England, he would be great to have on the bench, don't tell me you would sooner have a kid like Philip Roberts.

Possible ID-Ten-T error....seems to be working ok now. I deleted my cookies posts are quicker and easier now ty

I have a lot of pics from the St. Mirren match If you want them I could send them too you

A real pyramid structure has to go down to the very bottom of local football. If, for example, the HL champion gets promoted and no team is relegated into the HL, the place is filled from below, as the bottom team(s) are relegated to the local leagues and the winners of those get promoted to the HL, with play-offs of the second and third bottom HL sides and the runners-up of the local leagues for as many spaces as necessary. BTW, that's the way the whole thing has been run in Germany and Austria since WW2. For example, German Bundesliga side Hoffenheim were in the second bottom local tier in the mid-80's, before they started their climb through the stages and ended up where they are now. Not through application and buying in, but by winning one league after the other and getting promoted to the next one. Sponsor Mr Hopp wasn't involved until around 2000... Maybe AFC Wimbledon is another potential example stalled a bit at the moment but with those fans they will recover. Ross County and ourselves made it I remember myself watching Wigan Athletic in The Lancashire mid-week cup final , not that long ago they lost too to Rossendale United. Who knows what the future holds. NB The Quote thingy was not working to I had to adapt the post from above

Maybe if they take the Union Flag down from Glasgow Town Hall , the Rangers fans may get distracted and forget about football

Sean O'Driscoll goes to Bristol City Watch the Blackpool space - Dundee United will lose their boss for sure.

I was told yhe good Mts Butcher was non to happy with her beloved, sr she fancied the extra cash

What would you do if you were TB? I think I would stay because things can only get better at Inverness , which means a much better offer than Barnsley will come sooner or later.

Surely not bl**dy Barnsley Blackburn or Wolves maybe, but not Barnsley at any price. Or as Dean Saunders gone to Wolves? Or as a contributer mentioned Doncaster above , he must have

Which Bangor ? www.bangorfc.com wouldn't be much use

I don't rate him at all

Why diddn't Elgin switch the match to our Gaff Would have saved a £25,000 fine With regard to travellers , I have surfed the local news on the subject The local camp is in Inverness , so it all seems pointless http://www.highland.gov.uk/livinghere/housing/gypsytravellersinhighland/

Thanks Dougal and Alex Pull my Finger has a chip on his shoulder about me He sent me a most unpleasant e-mail some time back He had a go at my education for one thing , anyway it might explain our feud

Tell that to Scholes and Giggs

To sing That any individual is a W. blah , is all right then? St M. fans sang it about our manager. He often gets that sort of stick I mean being at a football match is not a church service

You have to admit the right winger for St M. was in absolutely superb form. He was beating everybody if I was not patisan I would have been over the moon watching him., Shinnie won't meet that quality every week.

If Accrington Stanley can play an England International, like James Beattie , makes you wonder if we could entice him to the Highlands, can't imagine Accrington have him on much of a contract. I know he is a coach, There must be a chance? Faint heart never blah a tin pig. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20274301 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20738490

Too much Xmas pud the day before , Methinks It was right through several big teams including Manchester City, had bad games, they should take more water with it. Back to normal on Saturday I trust. Away teams often get good results on Boxing day. I remember two years ago when we were doing quite well in the league, being stuffed at home by St Mirren on Boxing day.
