Anyone know if there is to be an inspection of the area round the ground today?

Wasn't Fenlon interviewed before Gannon got the job too?

From the 2009/10 SPL Handbook. (Which you can download here) C4.3.2 The tranches referred to in C4.3.1 are: “The Basic Facility Fee Pool”, 48% of the Net Commercial Revenues, which shall be shared equally amongst the Clubs participating in the League during the Season in question; and “The Supplementary Facility Fee Pool”, 52% of the Net Commercial Revenues, which shall be paid to the Clubs participating in the League during the Season in question in accordance with their respective league positions at the end of that Season. Basic Facility Fee Pool + Supplementary Facility Fee Pool = Total 1 4.0% 13.0% 17.0% 2 4.0% 11.0% 15.0% 3 4.0% 5.5% 9.5% 4 4.0% 4.5% 8.5% 5 4.0% 4.0% 8.0% 6 4.0% 3.5% 7.5% 7 4.0% 3.0% 7.0% 8 4.0% 2.5% 6.5% 9 4.0% 2.0% 6.0% 10 4.0% 1.5% 5.5% 11 4.0% 1.0% 5.0% 12 4.0% 0.5% 4.5% 48.0% 52.0% 100.0% So as ye can see, it's pretty significantly weighted towards whoever finishes first and second.

Just see it like twenty20 cricket, grand prix darts, Prizefighter in boxing or the mental Rugby League playoffs. All variations on a format, all of which aren't without it's criticism. Maybe we need the ridiculous to pump a bit of life into this game just now. Did anyone hear Craigan talking about it on talkSport? I turned it on just as he was finishing so didn't hear his opinion on it.

Exactly. Especially considering it was a questionable sending off.

Aye the ref was shite but.... does it make a difference that Jennings apologised to Gordon Young for getting sent off? I'm guessing he's said something daft to him.

Decent wee tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVk-HhGM8so...feature=related

I use this site now and then but noticed it's not been updated for over a year. I'm sure someone on this board runs it, any plans or is it going to slowly disappear? That would be a real shame, it's an absolutely fantastic site.

2 going on 9.

Would be interesting to see the results of this. A wee note though, questions 16 and 17 might average out to a lot of "neither good or bad" when considering 11 other SPL grounds as the match day experience can vary so much.

Man, that's brilliant.

not really

I'm planning to leave my dignity spattered all over a pittodrie seat.

He was on Radio Scotland a few months ago and mentioned that he is doing his coaching badges.

Now this should be interesting.

"No Club shall directly or indirectly induce or attempt to induce any employee of another Club to terminate a contract of employment with that other Club (whether or not by breach of that contract) or directly or indirectly approach any such employee with a view to offering employment without the consent of that other Club. For the purpose of this Rule H3, "Club" means a member club of the SFA." Take from that what ye will.

If Motherwell are paying their wages then it seems they are still considered employees.

I assume he'll be there regardless of where he ends up. Now that I'd like to see.

I know it's unlikely, but will you say the same thing if he stays as a result of Boyle giving him a bit to spend in January?

So...................

The interview on the BBC link above should clear that up. Bigger pool of players and bigger budget made the job worth considering.

According to Kanye West it's because David Cameron doesn't care about Scottish people.

Why? He'll have made up his mind regardless of what he said today.

Yep, expect another twist in this. I didn't catch the initial interview tonight but Chic Young was getting pelters on the radio for asking one of the Israeli refs we've drafted in whether or not he knew why the ref's were striking, to which he replied no.

Haha! I don't know what smiley fits that. Good yin though.
