    A mixture of ego and Kennedy's experience of failing to get Darvel out of WoS due to a playoff defeat and a late collapse might make the option of Clyde quite tempting.

    Plus while they are nomads these days, they are an actual football club who've been up to the championship on occasion. EK might have a shiny home, but until the new ground gets built (haven't heard much on that for a while) they might as well be nomads in K Park and it's cage.

    They were often in the top division in the old days ( until at least the 1960s).

    His ego knows no limits and Clyde are an established SPFL Club with history and a potential good fanbase if successful. EK are walking the league but not exactly bursting at the seams on match-days so makes sense that he would want the bigger gig.

    Downside is a SPFL gig might invite some unwanted scrutiny tho.

    Potential fan base where? Rutherglen? Cumbernauld? Hamilton?

    it’s easy to criticise Ross County but

    Keeping Malky Mackay in Dingwall isolated away from anywhere with a large ethically diverse population is probably a good thing for society on balance.

    In fact that point probably still stands even without the words “ethnically diverse”

    When I went to school in Dingwall in the 60s, there was exactly one Pakistani family in the town - indeed probably in the whole county.

    In the almost complete absence of any non-white people to discriminate against, we had to make do with the "traveller" population.

    There's a sad but universal human tendency to find some "other" group to shun, persecute or blame.

    Step in the right direction. Think how different it could have been if some of the fine margins that went against us actually went our way for example the pollok game, 3pts dropped when we were clearly better team. Not worth crying about now though they scored and we didnt and thats the name of the game. Looking ahead you can see the improvements and hopefully more improvents to come. Everybody seems capable of taking points from everybody else, lots more ups and downs to come this season no doubt

    So, clearly you weren’t the better team …

    Glasgow Times is reporting that the greyhound track (Shawfield) could be demolished, as a planning application has been submitted for housing and a hotel. I know that ship had long sailed, but it’s still sad to hear.

    But ... if planning permission is refused, the owners may be desperate to sell. Any Clyde supporters still living locally should be objecting.

    Crownpoint...... no update..........nothing.............. surely not a difficult decision for GCC between two applications, either choose a plausible one or dismiss both, make a fecking decision soon as this season of a farce is driving me completely nuts. No disrespect to the next two teams we're playing but ffs games against Bonnyrigg and Musselburgh (we never budget for a cup run!!...) when we used to be playing teams like Dunfermline, Plastic Whistle, QOS, Livingston, ..............................

    Maybe if you'd played better against them you wouldn't be here ...

    I was comparing the prize money with the FA Cup .  In England the winners get £2m plus TV money.  You would think the SFA could at least try and sell the Scottish cup for around half of that . 

    The SFA winner gets about 17% of the English one. That seems a pretty good deal given the relative audience sizes - maybe 10%?.

    Take it you've not watched the Sheffield United boss slate referees publicly at the weekend? Suppose they'll never be a 'big' club in the English Premier league if that's the measure. 

    Whether they're a 'big' club or not. I imagine the SFA/EPL will come down hard on the SU manager.

    Similar comments on a club's official site may/should bring sanctions to the club.

    Why do Rangers have military days and a picture of the Queen in the dressing room. Can't see any relevance to football with that. Clearly for the minority to enjoy.

    It's now the King. Do keep up.

    I don't care personally, but no doubt the Sevco bigots will think your indifference to royal family matters  marks you out as a ****** B******.

    Also the fact play can keep going when a clearly offside player is through on goal and goalkeepers, defenders and attackers keep playing when there is no reason too 

    There’s a very good reason - the whistle hasn’t gone. The referee makes these decisions, not the linesman or the players.

    I'm disappointed we still haven't signed anyone this week.

    I'd have thought we'd want any loanees to maximise the number of training sessions under their wings before the next league match.

    I’d have thought you’d be better if they didn’t train with the current coach and squad.
