I hope the new leagues include a promotion starting point for the Ayrshire and Edinburgh junior clubs.[ for listeners in England, Junior football clubs in Scotland are not boys clubs, don't ask, in fact they are full of 40 year old bald ex semi pros who kick six bells out of each other, assault referees and start fights with the spectators.] Some of the Junior clubs attract decent crowds, 1000 plus at some games. One Junior club nearly beat my team Hearts in the latter rounds of the SFA cup.
A league feeder system is required to enable new or improving clubs to enter the system.

Why would you ignore the Central League giants of Arthurlie, Pollok, Maryhill etc. If you ever get the chance get to Petershill and look at the old ground they had. It just shows what support these juniors once commanded.

I stood on the terraces there and could easily imagine the workers pouring out of the nearby (disused) factory's in the heydays and steaming through the turnstiles. Fantastic bit of history that should be preserved.

Also talking about Third Lanark, the ground is still there and I once stood in the centre of the park (while working) and got goosebumps. Weird feeling!
 
Crawford.
Having spent so much time in England I am not really up with the ins and outs of Junior Fitba. I only know that the couple of matches I watched were pretty scarey. One game there five coaching staff on the park pushing each other about while the ref just carried on with the game.
To referee a junior match must take some courage.
 
John Brown on the TV there..........:mmm:

It's the usual 'we arra peeepil' pish from one of 'ra Rangers family' which is designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator in the Rangers support.

He comes out, talks hard man crap, and makes it seem like ra Gers are some kind of important and vital institution that is far, far, far too big to fail......instead of a failed and discredited ex-football club who's future is in the hands of the like of Peterhead and Brechin.

Oh, and he's got Andy Goram backing him up.:rofl:

We're surely only one step away from someone from 'ra Rangers family' stepping out and promising 'nae mair fenians or kaffliks at ra famous Glasgow Rangers'......'This is Glasgow Rangers Green's dealing with' said Broon.......news for you pal,it's no,yer broon breed.:whoo:
 
Utterly hilarious.

Brown isn't for real is he? Heading up a consortium yet says words like 'Texes' 'Mooth' 'Hunners' 'Hiv' and threatens to 'Hunt down Green for the rest of his days'.

Utter clowns,do these fans not realise that some of these supposed consortium members will be using money that killed the club to buy the corpse??!!

Brown asked by the press where they would get the cash to actually run the club......huge silence before Brown says 'These peepul will no walk away from coming to wetch thur team'.....in other words 'Ah havny a scooby doo pal,how am I suppost tae ken that'.:lol:

You couldny make it up,they really are the gift that just keeps giving.:whoo:

I take back everything I said about Raith Rovers:whistle:

Statement from their Chairman Turnbull Hutton:

"This is the same Rangers whose supporters threatened to torch our stadium and whose manager demanded that one of our directors was named over his involvement with an SFA judicial panel, which resulted in TV cameras camping outside his door and threats being made by various outlandish factions. We also had Sandy Jardine publicly calling for repercussions for those clubs who have not supported Rangers."Given that, how could I, as an individual, be expected to roll over and have my tummy tickled by some inducement to allow Rangers to come into the First Division. I gave my opinion to the board on Monday night and the board had a position which was not in any way different from my own.

"That does not mean, if and when there is a meeting of the SFL clubs and a vote, that the outcome will go the way we want it to go. I imagine some clubs will see some short-term advantage to be had.

"But if, long-term, you cheese off your season-ticket holders and supporters and backers, is it worth it? Do you sell your position for 30 pieces of silver for some short-term advantage or take the moral high ground?

Well said that man:thup: :clap:

Your hatred knows no bounds Stevie ;) :p

I honestly feel that there will be no football club playing at ibrox next year. Apparently green has all but done the deal to sell the ground for 8 mil and some folks have been asking about renting hampden :rofl: will save them a few quid as they will only need one stand ;).

I am guessing that this was for me

Here you go.
 
The quote from the Raith Rovers chairman makes me wish that we had more people like that running our game.

Meanwhile Sandy Jardine's claim that "I have to be honest and say I think the players have used our predicament to their gain" shows a crassness beyond belief.

John Brown's interview reminded me of the Big Man sketches from Chewin' The Fat. Comedy brilliance.
