If they changed it to Stirling Albanian, then decorator would happily drop 620 quid there on a weekly basis, I'm sure.

What were your expectations for the season before Gannon took over?

If you can find me a Superbowl ticket for that price I'll buy it off you and add on $100 booking fee.

Ireland switched to summer football and their attendances remained static. So even if it improved the product (which I doubt), it had no effect on the revenue being generated. And they don't have to cope with domestic teams making it to the group stages of the Europa or Champions League, far less have players shooting off to World Cups and Euros.

Never having to read another post about it. Priceless.

I never knew anybody travelled to Albania. Surprised nobody mentioned it before.

Except in the US where the SPL ESPN games are still shown on Setanta. We get EPL games on ESPN, but they somehow managed to keep the SPL on the subscription based channel.

The point is to reduce the number of games so we can have a winter break without any fixture backlog. 36 or 38 games is too much for a wee country like ours.

At the start of the season I said that finishing 8th or 9th and building a more stable platform for next season would be a success for us. After all the turmoil pre-season (and now mid-season), that still holds true. Anybody who thought we would be challenging for anything more than mid-table after the overhaul of the team during the summer was always going to be disappointed. If we make it into the top 6, that will be a pretty decent achievement.

Aye, the SFA should just award us the tie every time we get drawn against a lower league team. All this "playing each other" is getting in the way of our cup run.

Increase the number of teams in the league to 16. Play each other twice. Winter break for a few weeks.

He arguably possessed more talent than any other Scottish footballer I have seen. Unfortunately, he only used it for about 2 minutes a game. The only player I have witnessed who could beat opposition defenders without moving.

You must have missed 'murder of crows'.

And talent.

I'd prefer the first step to be the season ticket letting you in to every home game - league, cup and friendlies. I can live with not including Euro games, but the others should always be included.

I'd still be wary of Calderwood, only because he was moaning during his last few months up north that he was tired of the SPL and found it was boring him.

The dole.

Actually, I was making the point that if you compare pound for pound entrance fees, we get a much higher standard in the SPL than the punters forking out 15 quid for non-league dross. I'll let you know in advance next time I plan to be facetious. Save you you further embarrassment.

She's got a better delivery than her old man, then.

Ebbsfleet charges 15 quid for a home game. I don't think you see many top players there.

Just need Billy Dodds to predict a draw and we have a banker.

Aye, I'm sure they are just a bunch of philosophical autodidacts singing a post-modern interpretation that uses irony to communicate their intellectual disagreement with the antisemitism still rife in parts of Europe. I get it noo.

McGhee had the same option, but didn't play them. Gannon showed he had sufficient contacts to bring in an entire squad of new players if required, but chose to go with a number of the youngsters. I think you're wrong on this one.

As much as I respect Jimmy Calderwood, we shouldn't be looking to him in the long term. When his term at Aberdeen was winding down, he kept going on about how he needed to look for a fresh challenge outside of Scotland and that he was getting bored with the SPL. Not the sort of outlook required.

Being so unfit you get out of breath walking to the pie stand is no grounds for adoration.
