Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

as a very casual observer of Scotch football can someone help me understand why there is a clamour from the rubbish sides to make it into the top half of the table for when the split happens? (or is there not a clamour and its just a media thing) Its surely much better to be the best side in the bo...

Re: We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

To be fair, their performances do seem to have reflected a slack witted half arsery that evidently is endemic within the culture of the club.

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Ali's mental and physical health concerns are well publicised. He hasn't played a game this season but he's on £100k a week. Did Ron Gourlay write up the contract? Young's 37 and on £85k a week.iys stupid money. It's all "sell x,y and z, give Branthwaite a big contract and then sign 3 more play...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Keep hearing a lot of Everton fans saying "Just sell x, y and z and we'll save £30m in wages". Err, no one's going to pay Neil Maupay anywhere near the £70,000 a week you're paying him so he's got zero incentive to go anywhere til his contract runs out next summer. They signed Deli Ali and...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

The Old Firm don't play each other in the league any more times than they used to before the split was introduced. It does mean that pretty much every game from now on matters, whether it's for the title, European qualification or relegation so I'd say it's a decent enough innovation in what is othe...

Jim Ratcliffe has declared that we wants to end the work from home culture that has crept into non playing staff, starting with the first team squad.

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I think it's incredible that when West Germany won the World Cup in1954, their whole league structure was amateur. It only became professional at the creation of the Bundesliga.

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

The latest theory is that Buckie Thistle would rather be a big fish in a little pond and challenging for titles rather than a small fish in a small pond so have conveniently "forgotten' to work towards the bronze licence because they don't want to be in the League.

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

If Brechin finished 15 points back then maybe there's an arguement for not putting anyone forward but not when they lost out on goal difference. The Brechin chairman's arguement about the Strathspey games is maybe clutching at straws but it is a shambles. I also think it's nicer to have a Highland L...
