  1. There's one thing that everyone is missing here. If TV money is renegotiated then the drop will be not much more that that which Rangers would have recieved in the current unfair duopolitical regime.
  2. Not only is his opinion nonsense, his posts read like they were written by a 13 year old doing a creative writing assignment two weeks after hearing their first Smiths album. I can imagine him skipping round his room waving a bunch of daffodils before posting. His opinion is his entitlement just as yours is yours. Make comment is you so desire. Make arguement if you so desire but please refrain from personal insult.
  3. Transfer listed rather than freed, ie Swindon are hoping to get a fee for him. I think he's transfer listed because he's under contract. If someone comes along and offers a quid he'll go. That way they dont have to compensate him for breaking the contract.
  4. Dunfermline Abbey is the ancient burial ground of the monarchy of Scotland Dundee 8-9 Dunfermline
  5. I'm sure they claimed not long ago that they were ahead of schedule. That aside I have no problem with them sharing other than the pressures that are put on the pitch and on our goundsmen. My personal opinion is that, if they are not ready then the authorities should be able to take decisions on a month to month basis. If they need to share for a couple of games then fair enough. Let them reapply to use their own ground the following month. Groundsharing does a lot of damage to the pitch and to clubs finances. We fought long and hard to get the rules changed so that we could put criterea in place to allow us to return to our own stadium earlier than initially planned. The rules that were put in place by government were taken to extreme by the SPL, for no other reason than they thought they could select and control who were the members of their little cartel, and eventually, first by challenges from Falkirk and then from us, they faced the wrath of honest fans who could see through their schemes and relented somewhat. Now they are seen even further, by the efforts to try and save Rangers in the SPL, as being dishonest and unfit to run our game. The tide is turning and Ross County can be another big player in turning that tide.
  6. He could be worth a second chance. And we did get a few quid from Swindon for him
  7. The Elizabethan is an all right pud Dundee 6 - 6 Dunfermline End of extra time. We're now into penalties. Dunfermline prevented us from a Scottish Cup final. Dundee 7 - 6 Dunfermline
  8. Campaign to HRC for a Nando's in Sneck
  9. redbreast
  10. Perhaps he doesn't want to move so far but more than that perhaps the WUM has WUN
  11. Red and Black are not our registered colours so we would need to re-register new colours with SFA/SPL and I don't see us going to that bother. It has to be done every year anyway SPL Rule B10.1 By 1st June (or such other date as may be fixed from time to time by the Board) in each year, all Clubs shall submit to the Company written details of their first, second and, where applicable, third choice colours (of shirts, shorts and socks) and such details shall be published in the Directory of Clubs printed in the League Handbook.
  12. Ok so I'm not quite as smart as you obviously so I dont know what the exact term is but its that period of employment between age 17 and 19, which is like an apprenticeship and is subsidised by the SFA in the same way as any other apprenticeship is subsidised by state. Further research has found the terminology. The Modern Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (football). For players of 16 and above and leads to a Level 3 qualification. I believe that as well as what those players do at their clubs they have to attend SFA run modules.
  13. There was a plan for another overtaking section at Kincraig but this has now been scrapped and instead will be made a section of dual. This is the section that was announced as starting two years early. The first part of the original programme which will begin as scheduled will be the joining of the two existing sections of dual north of Perth. If memory serves correct (I cant be bothered searching out the plans) the second phase will join the two sections of dual south of Inverness.
  14. Just because he hasnt phoned you personally to tell you what he's doing doesnt mean he's not doing anything. I expect a few announcements to be made by friday.
  15. The SFA has money and could alleviate the pressures on clubs. I think the future is a total shake-up of the way things have been run. I hope people will realise that giving the lions share to the top team(s) in the hope of european success was a total failure and that we need everyone on a level footing to create competition. Scottish football was successful before the SPL and TV and it could be again. Change will take a few years to bring fruit but I believe it will happen.
  16. I hope quite a few cos we must have an U-20 team
  17. Rene our league organisers get in a tizzy if two games are cancelled for weather. How the hell would they fit in another six games. Play them weeknights? Have fans and managers moan about the number of games they have to play? I know they do two a week south of the border but we are big tough Scottish teams. We cant handle it.
  18. They'll all walk eventually. Apparantly Green is set to challenge HMRC over them blocking his CVA whilst allowing Portsmouth's. Dont understand quite what planet this guy is on. Portsmouth owe the taxman £2.4 million which I believe represents a very small percentage of the total debt therefore if all other creditors accepted the CVA then HMRC had no power to stop it. With Rangers HMRC were owed over 75% of the debt so had the power to stop CVA. If me, a mere mortal, with no financial knowhow can see that then why can't Green and his advisors. The way things are going there wont be a football club to argue about any longer.
  19. Martin was on an apprentice contract I believe.
  20. ymip....your giving them credit where its not due. They finished one place and two points ahead of us. Anyway no point greeting over spilt milk.
  21. Announced today that work will start on A9 two years earlier than first planned. So expect a couple of years of long delays between Dunkeld and Perth
  22. Glad about that George. No easy to kick a ball without a foot.
  23. Or they're the only club willing to pay the agents cut
