Answering the phone to irate Foremen/Site Managers asking where their concrete is requires a special breed of person...... Stock answers include: "its on the road" "The batching plant has broken down" "You're holding the wagons too long on site!" "are you ready for the make up?"

I've not had a drop in nearly 4 months although came very close whilst out playing pool with friends last Saturday night.

Drinking frosty jacks regularly is a one way ticket to the morgue! Proper jackey stuff.

Muirton Park was a cracking old ground. Sadly missed.

Very bold move. Fair play for going for it.

Aberdeen v Kilmarnock - 1970 Scottish Cup SF - Muirton Park - Att: 25,000!

Did they? Apologies. Why didn't they go FT when promoted into the Championship out of interest?

That's why you're the housewives favourite of West Lothian....

2012: Grrrr it's all that Craig Whyte's fault! 2017: Grrrr it's all previous boards fault! Will they ever learn? In a word....No.

I agree with the picture you paint in reality but I'd say that's more to do with our inept coaching and development of young players (I say this as a qualified coach!). Any changes to the league set up without addressing the lack of coaches and the quality of the coaching will be akin to rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.

You're bringing nostalgic tears to my eyes mate

I'd like to see us got to a summer season with a 30 league game set up of 16-16-regional Pyramid including the Juniors. I suggest this not because I have any dislike towards the 10 Clubs that would drop down into the pyramid but because I feel that a 16 team 2nd tier would offer more scope for teams within it going full time than the current 3rd & 4th tiers we have. Highlighted by both Ayr & Raith discussing going part time after their relegation last season.

Richard Wilson is as big a cheerleader as BFDJ. I seem to recall Romanov being (rightly) ridiculed by the same media for his pie in the sky forecasts and ambitions yet a convicted fraudster gets lauded. Why is this?

He's not that trendy to be honest.....

Possibly but sometimes less is more. We used to play 44 league games in the early days of the Scottish Premier Division and somehow coped with the reduction in income. The recently extended games in the League Cup could soften the landing.

Funnily enough Tynieness does look just like Cliff Thorburn! Spitting double in fact.

Out of interest, Sweden & Norway have 16 team top flights playing 30 league games. Italy had this until 1988 also.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Enjoy the forum.

They're a shambles on and off the park. Without access to UCL money they run at a loss. Celtic even under Deila didn't run up debts of Rangers proportions when they missed out.

You've clearly not seen them play for a long time!

You mention a one off in a league where "poor" Leicester benefit from a tv deal to the tune of £90m. It's the same reason Celtic go from looking like world beaters domestically to cannon fodder in Europe.

Probably the late 80s.

He is. He offered to take me out to Chop Chop a few years back.

Can someone press the buzzer for GDs nurse to come check on him......
