  1. My recollection of Sportscene last season, during the run in to the end of the league campaigns, was not bothering to show L1 and L2 league tables. Seriously, it only takes 15 seconds or so to show both leagues.
  2. Haha, Station Park is Dundee fans second home m9. There was a reason Big Rab came here first and shows a real sense of embarrassment in any current photo shoots.
  3. Celtic under 20's turned over 3-0 by Dunfermline today, I believe.
  4. It'll never happen, Scotland's not big enough for an Angus United, the Weegie duopoly would be broken up for ever.
  5. Sorry, but was that point 1 or point two of my previous post you wanted to take? Re the SPFL decision/laws, apologies you are correct in that you didn't state they could pass any law. You are spot on about Scotland being in a position to adapt to possible "Brexit" rules, England will probably find it very difficult but I suspect the money that is generated by Johnny Foreigner will have a big say on what goes on down south and will possibly have next to no impact on our players and their value. The biggest shake up will likely come through continual national failure for England in the Euro's and World Cup, not Brexit. It's been coming for the last decade, one of the few trends where English football has followed Scotland's progression. Our national team suffered years of neglect through foreign imports, it's a numbers game, and England have finally come to saturation point with mediocre foreigners stifling youth coming through the ranks. Any comments on the FIFA statement?
  6. Indeed it was and so you did. So, thanks for amending a misleading detail that I had clearly stated as requesting a correction if I was wrong. Therefore two ways to take this: Apologies mate, I responded to what I mistakenly thought was a response from the person I quoted from, it happens from time to time on these sort of platforms. Contrition was made in my last post Or, FFS, take your snidey beak out of a comment I clearly made to someone else and was fully expecting a response from him and him alone. I would strongly and sincerely urge you to take the former response, as that is the way it was intended, with no malice intended whatsoever. But feel free to take the latter and come across as being a complete arse. As for your last paragraph, 'in truth' the SPFL have nothing to do with any aspect of foreign players playing in this country, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. That is an SFA based point and they, as it happens, can do absolutely nothing regarding EU resident football players plying their trade in Scottish football, which is what Radger the Badger was having a pop at with his Brexit diatribe. However, the SFA (not SPFL) do have control over non-EU players visa applications, which I suspect is the reason behind your erroneous comment. Also, FIFA have have absolutely nothing to do with unified UK team, that's a UEFA prerogative and as far as that goes, UEFA are more than happy to have the likes of Andorra, Gibraltar, Lichtenstein,San Marino et al sullying the lower positions in the group stages, so cannot see why national teams continually performing above them in the qualifying stages have any fear of being forced to play under a "unified" status.
  7. Jeez man, season of goodwill and all that. Clearly a reply to the original post.
  8. 1995 you say? What is your point naming those players then. Surely they were well after the 3 player rule.
  9. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the majority of those players come through to fruition after 2005 which saw the '3 foreigner rule' scrubbed? I thought you came hear to prove a point about diddies attitudes towards OF posters. You are trying desperately hard to disprove your original point.
  10. Celtic fans only have one shoe. ETA You're victims.
  11. They would switch the debt to the Colts, claim they are separate entities and demand that they stay in the top flight.
  12. Given that age is a factor here, what if you have a very good crop of players that gets the Colt team easily promoted but they are ineligible to play the next season and the next influx are crap and are just cannon fodder for the higher league. How is that meant to help either of those groups of players to develop.
  13. So the worrying possibility is that L2 gets shafted as the Colts are dumped there and not allowed promotion and the other 32 vote it through. Sweetners would really only need applied to the teams in L1.
  14. What's the real difference in expanding L2 with no promotion for the Colts versus expanding LL with no promotion for the Colts? If it's unacceptable for this division why is it acceptable for a lower teir? That's the arsey superiority issues that will possibly see us having to put up with this farce.
  15. And that will be the next rub off the green. OF games on a Saturday will possibly lead to their colt games on a Sunday so that they're fans can increase the attendance figures. Just another way of screwing up the traditional Saturday kick off times.
  16. I wonder if Malky agreeing to this was one of the caveats for him getting the gig?
  17. That may be the case but that's not the point that was made.
  18. I suspect he'll have more caps than the Souttar brothers combined tally.
