Seriously. Not a clue. Not a fucking scooby until I was 14 or thereabouts. Never knew what the difference between prods and kafliks was (still don't really) as they were all Christians in my eyes. Don't know the difference between Sunni and Shi'ite either. Was confused as to why I went to the school that was a fifteen minute walk away instead of a five minute walk but no more confused as to why I had a Gourock phone number and Paisley postcode when I lived in Greenock. I couldn't even tell you which of my friends were protestant or catholic until I started high school. The idea that people judged, even disliked, other people based on that didn't even enter my head. None of my friends or family ever mentioned the words ******, orange, *****, proddy, pape, etc. Only became aware of this crap when we started drinking and then some of the guys I hung around with would start singing Old Firm songs. Call it risible if you will but if anyone is hearing and learning about this shit before their balls dropped they're probably hearing it at home (or, I will admit, from friends who are hearing it at home). But that's the real risible part of this situation.

I suppose for Thistle/Clyde/Spiders games the teams will play a fringe team or it would be five teams playing once like the original Europa League format. As a side note I'm all far the Glasgow Cup, Angus Cup, etc. all coming back into play. The Renfrewshire's a great wee money earner for us and the great unwashed as well as the amateur sides in the area. On top of that it's always our last pre-season match (or final match of the previous season if you want to be pedantic) and I think it's the perfect pre-season game before the serious stuff kicks in. Definitely a lot better than watch Morton v Arthurlie or Celtic Reserves. What will happen there then if Scotland gets independence? I've no doubt it will remain flying but the argument from Rangers fans is always "it's our national flag". I wonder how they'd explain it then.

But wouldn't BBC Alba's rightsholding be for the SFL rather than just Div 1? Surely shifting out the 3rd division games is just as much of an issue. I'd imagine if the SFL were to say they wanted other matches outwith Rangers shown it'd be like Sky's deal with the IFA. They pay for the rights to Norn Iron games but have to show six domestic matches a year. Sky make a loss from those games but they do a lot of good for the domestic league. If Sky want the internationals they have to put up with Linfield. If someone wants Rangers they should have to put up with Dumbarton.

Everywhere that isn't Greenock is shite. Apart from Gourock.
