Lol at the idea that Gary Holt, as much as I loved him, was anywhere near as good as Lee McCulloch or Callum Davidson (or Brian Rice probably, though I didn't actually see him play).

A lot of this work won't necessarily be wasted effort, since they should now be better prepared if there are any problems with covid or any other pandemic in the future. Even in the best case scenarios there will be new cases here and there over the winter and individual schools may have to close temporarily, at which point these teaching models can be adopted. There's a lot of theory to suggest that blended learning can be a useful pedagogical technique anyway, so even if they never have to use it for this reason it may have given teachers an opportunity to reflect on their practice and to provide better quality education going forward..

Except that the smaller leagues were introduced by the SFL in 1975, over two decades before the SPL became a thing. It was simply named the Premier Division and fluctuated in size from that point onwards. Talking of keeping teams out, can you remind me what the entry criteria for promotion into the SFL were during the SPL era?

Even as a fan of non-league football in Scotland I think this money is better spent supporting the local community of Kilmarnock through what has been an incredibly tough period rather than giving these clubs a few hundred quid each.

Nobody forced Hearts or Thistle to go to court, and pretty much every single one of those consequences you outline is as a result of that. What you basically appear to be suggesting is that the other clubs should have allowed themselves to be blackmailed into voting through a reconstruction they didn't want purely to save themselves from being sued, even if they think the court case has little chance of success.

It doesn't matter how often you, Ann Budge, Tom English or anyone else says this, it's not actually true. Reconstruction has a potential financial cost for every single club. The funding of the extra Premiership places and the two new SPFL entrants has to come from somewhere. The proposal which was overwhelmingly voted down last week would have reduced the prize money allocation for every single position in the SPFL with the exception of 13 and 14. In addition to that, the range of potential prize money which each club could earn would change. Premiership clubs who are currently guaranteed at least the 12th place amount would now only be guaranteed the new uplifted 14th place amount. Championship clubs would be playing for the 15th-24th placed prize money instead of the 13th-22nd, and so on through the divisions.

Instead it's an extra £50k into a community charity where it will no doubt make even more difference. If Anderson didn't want money to go to charities then he wouldn't have specifically specified community charitable projects as something which the money could be used for.

The point is that you don't have a clue about this guy's credentials, what this study is about or what the results actually say, but you've decided that it should "have an enormous bearing on how we proceed with this".

Imagine if you had to watch him play centre-half for your team for half a season.

A game behind closed doors which is also available free to air.

Dave McKinnon of Morton is on the record as saying that Gardiner was pushing hard for a null and void outcome behind the scenes, and that several other Championship chairmen could back him up on that. Gardiner went quiet immediately after that, and not one single chairman refuted McKinnon's story. Regardless of what the discussions were between the Inverness board and their CEO, there appears to be substantial evidence that null and void was his intention.

Levein is a lot of things, but old school isn't one of them. You have to separate his style of play from his outlook as a manager.

You can't have summer football at this level when the league above where you promote to and get relegated clubs from is still playing a winter season.

Caley Thistle voted against ending the leagues because their incompetent and duplicitous clown of a CEO was scheming to null and void the season purely because of the team he supports. In what way is that any more honourable than Ayr United realising there was no chance of completing the season and selflessly taking a hit for the good of Scottish football?

I think the chances of the SPFL reversing promotions that have already happened are incredibly slim.

Teaching is definitely a middle class job, no idea why this is even being debated here. Class is not a fixed thing, you can still be a working class person who gets a middle class job and eventually becomes middle class, which is what will happen to most teachers.

It says in the article that this is just a one-off and they're planning to go back to a single tier for 2021/22.

At most three different points in the second half. Milner went off in the first half.

Aberdeen have only finished 3rd once in the last 13 seasons.

I'm sure there's a man already on the coaching staff with top flight experience.

I'm not sure what's funnier, Morelos showing complete contempt to The Athletic's Rangers blogger and feeding him this bullshit story, or said blogger actually believing him and printing it.

Scott Brown could easily have played in the French league, yes.

Yes, but if Motherwell wanted to keep him he would have still been there and not at St Mirren, so the question holds.

He's been a raging mess for months, so I doubt it.
