  1. It’s not a sell on clause, it’s a development fee as he’s now changing football associations.
  2. Maybe they are on holiday, or there’s no (good) news from last 7 days
  3. The live stream has been a godsend for us nomads so hope it keeps going. Ive also had a season ticket for most of last 20 seasons since moving to Norway, but only made 4 home games last season, in 2 minds about purchasing this season with the new TV deal meaning more Friday night games as depending on flight availability and how up front the change to fixtures are I wouldn’t want to book up an expensive trip to Glasgow and find out I’d miss kick off as I’m still driving from my flight from Aberdeen
  4. I hope so as they are still billing me monthly
  5. Going with official site we have a 1st team squad of 15 (2 on long term injury so 13) 1 goalkeeper 1 left back 3 center backs 5 central midfielders (2 of which are injured) 4 wingers 1 forward
  6. They work together on Radio Clyde, and have also set up a charity football team previously. Wilson (like any manager/coach) needs to be allowed to bring in an assistant they know and trust, they seem to know each other well
  7. We only made that loss due to getting a televised cup tie at Ibrox that generated £200k in revenue
  8. From what I’ve heard (from a very good source) Massively reduced offer, weeks after he’d heard nothing and had to call club himself. Its not him going that seems the issue, it’s the fact a long serving legend at club has been left in limbo and treated pretty poorly is the issue.
  9. You’ve not quite got that bit of history correct. Benny Rooney was fired in 86 and Bertie Auld came back with 7 games to keep us up, and along with his (and Rooneys) assistant Mike Jackson they won 3 drew 3 and only lost 1. Ken Bates bought the club in June in that year and brought in Derek Johstone as a player coach, without the management team knowing, plus he was on more than Bertie or Mike, Mike found out and quit, Bertie followed and 86/87 turned into a disaster. 33 league games, 8 wins, 11 draws and 14 defeats prior to him being fired. Only Scott Symon and Gerry Collins have a worse win percentage (18% & 7% versus DJ’s 23%).
  10. Bertie Auld wasn’t sacked in his 2nd tenure, he resigned as our new owner Ken Bates installed Derek Johnstone as player coach without this knowledge and on more money than him and his assistant manager. Played 7 won 3 drew 3 and lost 1 in that tenure, no way was any manager getting sacked with that record
  11. Graham and Wilson got their tactics spot on last night, team chased everything, battled for everything and showed real character, especially with a bare bones squad. Not a bad performance from any players in the team. Some real standouts in Stanway, Crawford, McBeth, Graham and young Jamie Low. Play with that attitude and desire and we should fear no one.
  12. I think the pressure to change it will come from Celtics absolute domination over 13 of last 14 years with no sign of it letting up. The lack of competition is stifling their European abilities and will start to affect TV audiences. Brendan Rogers is already on record stating a smaller league doesn’t work, whilst hinting towards a bigger league. I believe if SPFL polled the real customers (the fans) via a season ticket holder survey, the outcome would be for bigger leagues and less repetition of opponents, but SPFL do not see fans as their base customer base, they see Sky as it. Parkhead, whilst sold out every week is rarely full, fans are bored with the same repeated 4 or 6 times a season, and buy their ST to secure a seat for European nights, Rangers games and cup finals. The local sports pub here used to show the old firm games, and pub was pretty full for them. Games were also on Norwegian TV. Old firm games no longer are, and if pub shows game it’s on 1 screen in the corner, the appeal is dropping. Scotland games though still pack out the pub, so it’s not a lack of ex-pats. Longer term for Scottish football and especially the national team, bigger leagues allow to bleed young talent, play attractive football with less fear of 1 defeat dropping you from a top 6 position to a relegation position. Personally id like to see a top league of 16, with 30 regular league games, playing each team twice only. I’d have a second tier of the same or 18. 2 straight up and down, with a playoff for a 3rd place, in a normal 2 semi final, 1 final format.
  13. Correct, sorry i was thinking of the Road Hole. All up hill for what felt like 3 mile at the 16th or 17th
  14. The commando course as it was nicknamed especially the part 5 “Hill 60?”
