  1. Yes Rangers are Lily White now

    absolved of all sin like a Catholic after confession

    It reminds me of the old marching   song of the first world war.

    "Wash me in the water that you wash your dirty daughter in,, and I will be whiter than the whitewash on the wall."

     

    One season in Div 3  Then a member of the new league set up,and  In 2014/15 like it never happenned

     

    .

  2. If you aare worried about inheritance tax

    All you have to do is loan  your goods to your kids, and when your clogs are popped they dont pay any tax because it is a loan/

    ? from a trust

    And if you fall out out with them whilst you are still around , you can demand they pay it back

    Then loan it to the RSPCA

     

    And claim tax rebate

  3. This may seem daft but it worked for a cricket league I was involved with

     

    two leagues of equal numbers could be 12

     

    Lague A will play each other twice and would play the teams in league B once

     

    League B would play each other twice and league A once ( you could reverse  home field advantage each year)

     

    Making a 35  game season - Your points gained  only affect  to your own league

     

    Top team in League B promoted and  last team in League A relegated.

     

    It means that all clubs get at least one game against  the best sides.

     

    The bottom two league B teams relegated. to league C -  Some sort of Conference system may be good for for the lower teams involving the Highland league , A true perimid system

     

    Carlisle United should be invited to joint  League A

  4. Celtic

    Hearts

    Dundee United

    Motherwell

    St Mirren

    Kilmarnock

    Aberdeen

    ICT

    Ross County

    St Johnstone

    Hibernian

    Dundee

    My Guesstimate

    I think St. Mirren will benifit from extra support from fringe Rangers fans wanting SPL football ,

    I think Partick Thisle will too in the Div 1

     

    Well I was wrong there

  5. League position great

    Away Form great

    Home form awful not wanting to pour cold water on two fantastic results, but to live through another Motherwell match would not be nice 2 points from last 3 home games will not win the league.

  6. I am not saying that at all. The Jardine comment was just showing that a very in your face outfit like the English cricket team, can take a captain, ( in those days (1932)

    also the boss) from Scotland, then why is it that Scots would sooner fail than accept the best person for the job.

    Parish pump mentality will get Scotland nowhere whether in sport or anything else.

    Will Carling once said that rugby union was run by a bunch of old thwarts, Len Shackleton in his book " Clown Prince of Soccer ", said something similar about the SFA, who he called " Sweet Fanny Adams", That book was written over 50 years ago.

    How many x professional footballers are in positions of power in the SFA?

    Somebody needs to get a grip, of Scotish football, All the names I have seen as potential Scotland managers seem tro be very poor choices,

    Strachen seems to be the main choice and I feel , although better that levine, nothing will change.

    I myself if in charge of the SFA would go down om my bended knees to get Harry Rednap, even on a short term contract, Failing that I would go for Owen Coyle if we have to wear blue filters on our specs.

    If you wat to read about Jardine get the book title " Again Came Larwood", the best of all reads.

  7. There should be a level of responsibitity shown by the clubs

    Many people are not capable of looking after themselves , some people may take the money to pay off other lenders, fuel an habit, or pay off debts ,

    The main worry is the obscene rates of interest

    Put it like this if I was a player I would refuse to wear the shirt and would be prepared to defend myself in front of a judsge

  8. I'am not so sure Murrayfield would be allowed

    I Know "soccer" is banned at Twickenham , an attempt to play a match there when Wembley was being rebuilt was not granted

    Apparently some RFU rule does not allow Association football to be played in their stadia.

    I may be corrected now RFU is professional in Scotland , but it was the rule before.when Rugby Union was ameteur.

  9. All Scotland rivals are not major countries

    Wales and Belguim are small outfits . It is bot long ago the Scotland under 21 team was playing that major centre of excellence called Iceland and struggled beyond belief

    I don't want to hear this small country argument again. It is downright bad management and bad organisation, starting at the grass routes

    Rangers and Celtic Hearts and Hibs, used to bring fantastic local talent through to International standard, true they moved into England,

    We now see Rangers forced to play youngsters that are excellent players, given the chance they will make great players one day I am sure of it.

  10. As a former Fire Prevention Officer I can.t believe sprinklers were fitted next to a concrete stand, with no overide facility

    I used to lecture on the Bradford City fire as part of my work. I also had to report on fire safety at Accrington Stanley.

    So I know a little about the subject, streaming water could cause a stampede and this incident is not a laughing matter.
