Clarke is the man just now, he ticks almost every box for me. Agree with the concerns around him potentially falling out with players but I think he would get the backing of the TA by taking the strongest possible stance on the Tierneys etc who pull out with a fractured eyelash then play with their clubs on the Saturday, fack the lot of them. I remember being quite excited about the Levein appointment and it didn't turn out well, it seems similar as he did a similar job with Dundee United as CLarke has done with Killie however you are hoping Clarke's experiences with Chelsea and Liverpool will prepare him for this jpb.

I think Tierney would probably hold a place down at a Leicester, West Ham, Wolves. There is nothing to suggest that he would could play for a top 6 side. Remember Wanyama and VVD went to Southampton first, did well and then made the step up, Tierney would have to follow the same path.

Genuinely thought Williamson would sign for East Fife or Kelty, very surprised at this.

The most negative, doom and gloom statement I have ever read, the timing is all wrong also. There isn't anything positive or uplifting to get supporters to buy a season ticket.

Not sure why you would be amazed, I don't think the EOS and LL care about a counter proposal, they are happy with the situation as it is.

Yeah it meant promotion, which 9 teams can still achieve.

Still think QOTS and Falkirk will be the bottom two, not sure in what order

What an utterly absurd way of looking at things, clubs have spent thousands of pounds on and off the pitch to get their licences. As inept as the SFA are I don't think they would share this stupid attitude just because the EOS member clubs rejected a silly proposal.

Not sure what is not fair about it, each conference winner play a game at home and a game away from home, to make it two legs would complicate it and turn it into a bit of a farce. These 3 games will be very exciting.

It all comes down to Rodgers thinking that he is a top 6 English Premier League Manager. He cant go back to Liverpool, he cant go to Man United as he was at Liverpool and would never get the City job so he will be looking at Tottenham, Chelsea or Arsenal, he has been overlooked recently for both positions at Chelsea and Arsenal. He could win 15 trebles at Celtic and they would still overlook him. If he can consolidate Leicester as a top 8 club maybe 2 years on the trot along with developing some younger players, being shrewd in the transfer market and playing an attractive brand of football that will get them taking notice.

I think Hill of Beath are still very much in the running. So it looks like each team has a home game and an away game with penalties giving an extra point if it ends in a draw. Should be 3 cracking games.

Stevie Crawford is a shoe in for the job, Greg Shields apparently arrived back from the US as his assistant.

For me there are now problems at Kelty, I have not seen a team that are close to Kelty ability wise (not seen EK) so I think they have really under achieved so far, with the squad they have just accepting top 4 isn't acceptable, they should be pushing for the title, absolutely no doubt about that. I had reservations about the Ferguson autograph hunting appointment, for me he is not in the same league as Tam Courts as a manager although it is fairly early days and he should probably be judged at the end of the season, I don't like the way he has over turned the squad which he said at the time he didn't need to do when he took over. He has also changed the system which hasn't worked so far and the players he has brought in don't look to be better that what he has deemed not good enough, Finn Graham for instance is nowhere near the player Nimmo is. Missing games for playing in a 6 aside tournament is shocking also, how can he have any credibility in the dressing room / training this week when he hasn't been at the f"""cking game?

Fair enough but letting Nimmo go is a huge mistake in my opinion, he would actually be one of the first names on the teamsheet for me.

Game was ok on Saturday, much better 2nd half when changes were made. Got told M.Gay, Hare and Gibson have all been told they can leave.
