Now do the UK and America...
As far as I am aware neither the UK or American governments fund football teams. The Saudi government do

The money is immoral enough but it’s worth reminding ourselves that this is a country which lured a journalist in to their embassy in a foreign country and openly executed him

Yeah, that particular case goes way beyond mistaken identity, or the Police genuinely, but mistakenly believing they had the right guy.
Blatantly nefarious behaviours on the part of plod.
Yip. Anyone who wants the death penalty should consider a case like this
If such an appalling miscarriage of justice can occur in a rape case it could occur in a murder case. Bad enough to be jailed for 17 years for something you didn't do but the death penalty takes that way beyond a miscarriage.

I agree to an extent. However, should they offer £x and we say no. We’re stuck with a player who A. Won’t play or B. Plays half arsed. Or we can accept £x which whatever it is is better than nothing, and free up his wage for someone who will bolster the squad. We’re already carrying a load of injuries so could do with players to be available! We can have a value we want for him but he’s only worth what someone’s willing to pay! I suppose we may be getting a raw deal as potential buyers may well know our current financial predicament and hope to get him on the cheap!
In reality getting a fee is brilliant for us, who was the last player we got a fee for? Neil CollinsYes we will get a development fee if his contract ends but we’ve sat paying him for 12 months to do he haw!
What if they offered £1,000? Would you be happy to accept that?

I know we all know this, but if our top league was to copy England's then it would be a separate organisation and would indeed be called the SPL, or similar (since the English top league is separate to the English Football League).
Our top league isn't called the SPFL. It's called The Premiership. The English top league is called The Premier League.
The SPL hasn't existed in over a decade
If you want to be really pedantic it’s the top division of our league that is called the premiership

Re the above Planning Application, I attach the layout of the development proposed by Cognitive Capital. Please view it and remind yourself that it is being submitted by the owners of the football club, with seemingly no documented demur on the part of the DFC Board.
There is a meeting of the WDC Planning Committee scheduled for August 2nd at Clydebank Town Hall but as of now we don't know if Planning Application DC22/238/FUL will be on the discussion agenda.
Given that would leave the football club very little parking space I'd be very surprised if the Council approved that

Meeting bronze standard should be the very minimum an spfl team meets in my opinion. It doesn't seem to be particularly hard either.
Have coaches with badges.
Have a doctor.
Have a legal expert.
Have acceptable floodlights.
Have a pitch within the agreed dimensions and slopes.
Have a ground that seats 500+.
Why would clubs need a legal expert? Cant they just instruct a lawyer as and when they need one?

It has been talked about for a while. Clubs already needed Bronze floodlights so it has been something that's expected.
Airdrieonians, Cove Rangers, Edinburgh City, Kelty Hearts, Bonnyrigg Rose, and Peterhead are all Entry level at the last SFA update.

What do Airdrie not have to get them up to Bronze?

How many do you reckon we need?
I seem to remember hearing that Hosie was looking for 1.5m. but I cant see him ever getting that. So if he'd accept a million you would need 500 contributing £2,000 each or 200 contributing £5,000 each. Or something in between.

I've only checked back about 10 seasons but it isn't Owen Coyle. He was born in July 66 and scored his first in February 86 at the age of 19. The youngest I've found so far is Callum Wilson against Falkirk when he was 18 and (roughly) two months. I expect there'll be someone younger though.
Murdo Mcleod was 17 when he scored his first goal. Spring cup tie Older than Vata is now but depends if you only count competitive games

Starting our campaign away to Bonnyrigg is grim. A truly terrible place for fans to watch football. Last game of 2023 away to Stranraer isnt any more attractive.
I think Bonnyrigg is one of the best to be honest

That will probably depend on the width of the pitch.
I’d like to think we will abandon the narrow pitch nonsense given that it gave us absolutely no advantage whatsoever last season

I use e-tickets on the train and going to racing, so I don't see it being any big deal at all really. Aside from for older folk who aren't all that good with technology, but it sounds like they are being accommodated. As BBPF says, buying tickets at short notice is usually pretty quick too. I've bought tickets for games on my way in, and usually buy my train tickets from the platform.
I think the only thing I really pay cash for these days is a haircut. I'd be amazed if any clubs at a semi-decent level still have cash gates in about a decade.
I will miss physical tickets for big matches mind you. I've got a saved PDF of an e-ticket I had for AC Milan against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League last year, but I'd have loved a proper, old-school ticket from that. Just to keep in a box somewhere.
Yeah keeping them in a box is what I’ll miss. I’ve got every season ticket since 1970 so it’s a bit disappointing to see that come to an end. I suppose it’s ‘progress’

If you have 3750 Euros to spare you can buy a hospitality deal for Scotland's 3 group matches, money back if they don't qualify. Official UEFA partner.

My favourite memory of the wee man dates from 30th March 1974 when he scored an absolute reeker of a 30-yard equaliser into the postage stamp at Parkhead in a very entertaining 3-3 league match. Celtic's scorers were Deans, Wilson and Dalglish, whilst the McAdam brothers scored Sons other two, with Willie Wallace playing against his old club. As the pic shows Celtic wore an unusual strip of green and black stripes which I don't think featured too often.
Back in the days when you could change ends at Celtic Park

Watching it live, I was stunned that a short, chubby, balding ex-Saintyboy was capable of such audacity.
Cynical old guy me however can’t stop looking at a couple of issues.
Despite playing in the inside right position, he touches the ball 6 times, all with his left foot.
Wim Jansen and his mates look to be trying to get out of his road.
And what’s this, a narrow defeat in that game means Holland finish second in the group and avoid Argentina in the next round.
That goal put them 3 -1 down and just to emphasise that they they were in control, they went up the park and pinged one in from 25 yards a few minutes later
Final score 3 -2
Ach maybe. But those four minutes were glorious while they lasted

The only thing I think I'd change is to put 9th down automatically. I don't really like giving teams that have been shit all season a second chance at it. Give 2nd a bye to the play off final to put a bit more weight on finishing there. I'd have that for every division too.
Just make it two up two down. Play offs in a league of ten are pretty nonsensical
