Kevin James Left Knee

I know him. Hence my judgement of him.

It annoys him. One of my secret joys in life. That and early onset senility.

If you can be arsed this is a good read. https://spfl.co.uk/admin/filemanager/images/shares/pdfs/League Cup Regulations.pdf

Here you go - apparently 15% is the agreed expenses so I got my cynical point wrong. 10 Admission Charges and Shares of Gates 10.1 Subject to Regulation 10.4, in all rounds of the Competition, excluding the Semi Finals and Final Round, the Board Minimum Recommended Prices of Ground Admission or the actual minimum admission price, whichever is the greater for adults, juveniles and senior citizens shall, after deducting 15% by the Home Club, be divided equally between the two Clubs participating in each Match. Prior to the commencement of the Competition in each Season, the Board shall fix the Minimum Recommended Prices of Ground Admission or if the Board does not so fix the Minimum Recommended Prices of Ground Admission same shall be deemed to be those which applied in the immediately preceding Competition. Unless and until altered by the Board the Minimum Recommended Prices of Ground Admission shall be as stated below. The share of admission money in terms of this Regulation must be paid to the Visiting Club within ten days of the date of the relevant Match. Any Club failing to pay, detail or return as before provided, or any Club or club failing immediately to report non-payments of receipts due to it, shall be dealt with as the Board may think fit. 10.2 Where Clubs/clubs in different divisions and/or Recognise

As far as I know League Cup is 50:50 spread after expenses. The home team of course exaggerates the expenses as best they can to retain more of the money.

My guess is that he money will be divied out sensibly - some for general costs and I guess some for one or maybe two loan players. We still lose money so its crazy to splurge it all on players.

Oh well let's get the dosh.

McGlynn on BBC Scotland later apparently. No-one is discussing the foul on MacIver in the box in the first half that was ignored by the ref. I was a long way from it and the highlights don't show it, anyone closer to give an opinion? OK - there are about to be two more signed copies of the Untouchables Book about to be put up as prizes (Falkirk Daft already gave one away) to raise funds for the club. The FSS will have one and the other will be the Equity Bairns. Both managers and 14 players have signed it (only 5 copies were signed in this way). So keep an eye out for the competitions. I understand there are only c. 60 copies left for sale in the shop or online.

NO SFA money involved at all.. It was a loan to be paid off over 20 years (interest free) from the Scottish govt that I (and another well known Bairn who cannot reveal his name because of his job) negotiated from a special fund for football on behalf of the FSS. That said I do think the Scottish government should complain that we will be forced to waste that money if we go up.

HE'S ENTERTAINING AF. Especially when he loses the rag. I've always assumed its just an act though. John M will know.

I live near Edinburgh - the ticket website is not working for me because I have an EH postcode. I sort of understand it's to stop Edinburgh Hearts fans buying home stand seats but a mild inconvenience. I can't be the only one.

Surely you will raise your game next week since it is us. Or are you saying I should put my first bet in my life on?

Looking forward to next week -bit of revenge for two seasons ago. Six fingers = six goals likely.

I have said for 2 years now that out top numbers are c. 1000 in the championship - that is based on research by Dave M of other teams. The club needs to realise that.

Also a referee who warned the goalkeeper about his time wasting early enough to snuff it out. Usually they only do it with 10 minutes to go which affects nothing. Thought referee was good yesterday although clearly MacIver scored a dodgy handball.
