Well-Made

Kirky seemed to be quite positive that's where we'd like to enter. I can see both sides of this. From our side, we'd like the extra round for the sake of getting a chance to travel to a couple of places. From the clubs though maybe that extra couple of weeks could help settle in the new players a little more. I'd love us to get a tie in the 3rd qualifier that at least gives us a chance of qualification or a tie against a big club to encourage a big crowd.

Humphrey for me as well. Because of the assist and the goal. Looked tired in the 2nd Half. Would be good if we could keep him.

I'm glad I put in if I got the victim right.

Yep, a certain Bob Malcolm stood on his head and went unpunished Malcolm then went on and scored the winning goal for the team formerly known as Rangers. If I have the victim correct that is. Also went on about having a bevvy of virgins looking after his needs, or was that just one of his dreams

I have voted for Higgy. I'd love to see Faddy, Randy and Law stay but I think they'll be moving on to bigger and better things and we won't be able to compete with the wages anyway. If we could match an offer from a Championship Club or Celtic it would be at the detriment to the rest of the squad. There's no point in having one stand out player if we can't put out 10 other players that will help him. I agree that Higgy only has the goals because of the work his team mates do but he knows the way to the back of the net. It will be easier to get players that can create chances for them than trying to replace him.

Randy, Saunders, Ramsden, Law, Humphrey, Faddy, Higgy, Daley, Hateley, Higginbotham and Kerr's loans will finish.

So tell me if I am just being skeptical or not but St Mirren only announced their intention to vote after a meeting between Green and Gilmour. Green and Gilmour meet Now Gilmour hasn't explained why he voted against the new set up, despite stating it was the 11-1 vote that was a main sticking point. Apparently this was opened to change yesterday and still he didn't change his vote. The fact that since then he has offered an explanation to why this didn't change his perception of the set up appears to be the main cause of upset. Either way the right decision was reached, there has to be a better way.

From the BBC

He's also quoted as saying that the SFL Clubs can still vote for a 12-12-10-10 as another option, he is bothered how the leagues are split below the top 2 of 12.

I see the Assistant Manager has gone and they've appointed one of the coaches to take charge for the rest f the season. Maybe they want McCall but he has hinted it'll depend where we finish, which players sign up and budget etc for next season. Then again he may have told them very politely, Thank you but No, thank you.

That'd be too simple. What if Celtic have Ross County and we have ICT first after the split, is it possible that the Broadcasters are trying to find a way to show both games but want Celtic's game to be shown 2nd in case there is a Title party? If Rangers are playing on the 20th at Ipox and this is already scheduled for TV, it could then be down to how they get the two games on Sunday or split Sunday\Monday. No knowledge, just a thought.

Apparently, there has been a glitch with the computer. It isn't giving Celtic a home game straight after the split and keeps chucking out 3 away games for them

Great news. Have to wonder if McGhee had a word and said leaving the 'Well was the biggest mistake he'd made. Here's to another 2 years under the guidance of Mr McCall Now if we could only get everyone else sorted.......

RIP Auld Yin.

Looking at Shivute he had quite a short career due to it being cut short by injury. Although something wrong with the dates he started playing with Eleven Arrows who are reported as his first club and his international career dates.

Well that saves me going digging the old hard drive out.

It was indeed. I'll try and dig it out again this weekend. Youtube has the 2nd

The way the game is going Gaag, it won't be needed anyway..... :wallbash:

My thoughts exactly so who voted for Celtic to keep their share? I know Aberdeen have been quoted over the course of the season as voting with Celtic, especially on league sizes as they'd preferred a 10 team league at the time. (Why I'm not sure, as they are just as likely to see the 1st Division as anyone else in a 10 team set up.) Surely, this should've been made public knowledge as well rather than hiding it away. At a time when clubs are calling out for fans to come through the door or to invest in them, this comes as a kick in the teeth for those making that extra effort. Remind me again which stadium gets the biggest crowds in the SPL..... Oh, wait that'll be Celtic, so they are getting all that gate money, money from UEFA for the Champions League as well as keeping their prize money intact for the SPL while the other clubs try to wring the fans of every last penny with promises of fan ownership, shares, the death of their club if they don't. Sometimes makes me wonder why we even bother having a voting structure, I mean we all thought that with Rangers and Celtic in the SPL the 11-1 vote was rigged in their favour. Now looks like they only need one of those two and it's still rigged in their favour. These clubs need to realise that without them Celtic and their Newco partners across the city don't have a league to play in without them. How can we even look at a new league structure when we're not treated as equals when it comes to what's best for Scottish Football and not what's best for any particular team. They'll have a couple seasons in this new league format and then announce what we all already know from other countries that have already tried it. And why? Because Newco will be ready to move into the top league and then once again it all comes down to pandering to the Firm. Due to the finances I don't attend the games as often as I would like to just now and sometimes have gone because I feel guilty about not having bought into the Well Society or got the new strips for the lads but when you see that our club and the others have quite gladly accepted splitting some of the 2nd place money between them and not touched Celtic's then why should I feel bad?

and the Club have their say: Official page

That explains why Bradford and the FA are paying for it. Big well done to them but there shouldn't be a charge in the first place.

Reading that makes you wonder if that's why Sevco are worried about being in the bottom tier again. After all they'd come up against teams that could give them a game, especially as only twice a season would be classed as cup ties and the chance for the other stronger teams to make up any points they drop to them straight away. If 18 is good enough for the bottom league then it's just as good for a top league.

New Voucher system in place for today's game. Official Site As for the game, I'd go with Ojamaa out wide and McHugh along side Higgy up front. 3-1 the 'Well.

From today's Record Murphy set for the Blades

Absolutely delighted with that result and how I'd wish to be a fly on the Aberdeen bus going up the road, watchig Pa Broon greet about how they was robbed. Well Done McCall and the team, Merry Xmas indeed.
