The top league changed its name to the Premier Division long before England had their premier league. There's been various name changes since but they've been variations on the Premier theme. If anything, England copied us with that. I completely agree that the Championship is copying and makes no sense.

I thought it was because they would have needed to buy the property at the end of the row of housing as the full length stand would have cut across their back garden. Motherwell subsequently bought the house and used if for office accommodation (in the eighties I think) but decided they weren't going to extend the stand so sold it again.

Well, this discussion has taken some strange twists. What I'm wary of with the development fee is that we end up with the situation Craig Sibbald had at Falkirk where no-one was willing to pay the development fee. Sibbald had no intention of staying at Falkirk but had to sign the offered contract for a year until he was old enough that the development fee no longer applied. It's the one big failing of the development fee system and it won't do us or Cadden any favours if we can't get something favourable sorted out.

Your Club's Manager, As A Player

What about Robinson's time in the English Championship- where does that put him against Canning? -
I went a few years ago to see Motherwell- fantastic place, I'm sure you'll love it. Didn't do a lot of tourist stuff. Just liked walking around (old river bed to east of city centre is good) and the vibe of the place. The market near the centre is worth a wander round- bit different from what you can get here!

Horrific club photos
Archie McSquackle replied to Mark Corrigan's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
The floors are checked for a certain load per square metre. I doubt you'd get more than one of these young ladies in a square metre so shouldn't be much of an issue. Might have to check for the concentrated load though! -

I keep hearing this but Scotland brought in the Premier Division long before England with slight adjustments since. If anything, they copied us (but I'll give you the Championship carry-on). -
While I don't agree with the principle of the proposals anyway, surely it fails on the merits of the clubs involved. Celtic have been fairly dominant at U-21 level in recent years (although I don't think they won the league last season) but Rangers haven't performed well at all at that level in recent years and even withdrew from the league to follow their own agenda. If this is such a brilliant idea then, to play devil's advocate, perhaps it should be Hibs and Ross County (for example) put forward.

They tried to go to Pat not long after I got back to the car. They may have already gone to him for a report just after the final whistle but I doubt it as they had Rangers to talk about. Surely a major part of being the match reporter is you provide a match report after the game? As much as they were laughing and joking about it, he should be getting his arse kicked for that. -

They tried to go to Pat Bonner at Fir Park after the game tonight to get a report and found out he'd already buggered off home!
