Yes we should go in to div 3 but it's not our choice to make. Rangers will not be certs to win any league, right now we have no players at all and are fast running out of time and with yet more delays to the admin/liquidation process i doubt we'll be playing in any league this season.
So calm down and stop being such a drama queen.
Telt.
The first word of my post was "if". Can you not read ffs?

If the SFL allow "Rangers" in to div 1, then I'm finished with Scottish fitba. End of. I'd prefer to be in the 2nd rather than the 1st next season, so losing out on promotion by default as a result is irrelevant.

Don't know if this has been posted before, but this is good website for tracking snow movement: http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ It's historical (15mins behind) but you get an idea on which direction it's moving.
Cracking link that. Looks like Glasgow is going to get shat upon in the next hour or so, by which point I'll be on my way into town for some Christmas shopping.
Grand.
Not a bad estimate, that. We now have leaden skies and light snow on Glasgow's southside. Ach well, the c'nting shopping has to be done at some point.

Christ almighty.
I was astounded to see the Clyde all but frozen over in Glasgow this morning, but that looks like something Shackleton sailed through on his way to Antartica.

Apparently trains have become stuck in the snow outside of Central and engineers face a very brutal shift to try and free them again. Hence closure of station!
The Central is indeed fucked.
There's hardly any snow lying in town, and only 3-4 inches on the southside. It's a bloody embarrasment that our biggest city can be brought to a standstill by a few inches of snow.
I eventually joined the scrum to board a bus, and fucked off it a mile from home as it wasn't going anywhere. Dearie me.

"A"At King Tuts tonight
Thay must be a fair age now.
They were played to death on the Evening Session when Lamacq and Whiley co-hosted in the mid-90s.
I bought their album. It's alright. That kind of "Scottish sounding band" seem a bit ten-a-penny though.Eh?
De Rosa and Aerogramme sound a bit similar in parts, but both of these are defunct anyways. I can't think of any other bands who are in the same vein.
Edited to add: I too shall be at the Rabbit gig. I've seen them previously in The Arches, The Tramway, a pub and bizzarely, Xscape. It'll be good to see them in a proper venue.

Ah but Alan, this is different. XBL is "Box Office" material, so he is allowed.
Some people would consider the brothers grim of X Factor fame to be box office material too.
But its not the content we complain about, its just the sheer quantity of them. He very rarely seems to talk about anything else.The content has f'ck all to do with it on here. His face doesn't fit with some vindictive tossers who are looking for an easy target, and that's all.
There are a good number of folk on the GN forum who poast continually about getting pished and/or hangovers, without receiving any hassle. Also, I daresay I'd be pissed off if I had to put up with the tram related Embra transport carnage each working day.
If you're going to dig up folk for posting about the same issues all the time, then Capy is far from the worst offender on here.

At least once a week we'll get "ooh, I want a drink, but I've got work". This will be followed by "having a nice bottle of red", then "ooh, shouldn't drink on a school night, bad capy". The next morning we'll have "bad hangover at work".
Repeat once or twice a week, and then the highlight of his weekend will be drinking, drinking, and then drinking some more. Often alone from the sounds of it.
Maybe you should refer to this post the next time you decide to post on P&B at 4am, describing how you feel like vomiting after drinking 20 shots of spirits in some shitty Stirling club?
F'cking hypocrite.

This isn't really a nag, but I'm posting it here anyway.
Couples where the girl drives and the guy doesn't. It just seems odd to me.
It just ain't what wimmens are for!
It's fucking great, actually.
Tis like having an unpaid chaffeur who gives cuddles. What more could a bloke ask for?

He hadn't even been to Asda, that was his clothes.
I thought the Farmfoods bag was the jakey bag of choice back in Airdrie? I'm a bit of a social climber.
Oh, and GIRUY Livingston.

The meeting is still ongoing & a reporter for bbc is outside Hampden, that was at 5.30
I walked through the car park at around 5.40, and couldn't see any telly or radio crews. Still, if you see anyone in the background of any pieces to camera carrying two Asda bags, that'll be me...

Aye you must be gutted about staying up for the 2nd season running due to default.
Did you actually read my post?
I don't claim to speak for every Airdrie supporter, but I imagine most would have been happy to play in the 2nd division this season. The ongoing uncertainty has the potential to wreck our season, regardless of the division we find ourselves in at the end of this shambles.
Let's say that this rumbles on until the end of September. Whilst Livingston's fate remains unresolved, we continue to play fixtures that we know may be expunged, and are unable to add to our squad.
Should Livingston stay down, we find ourselves marrooned at the bottom of the 1st, unable to strengthen until January. If Livingston are restored to the 1st, we find ourselves in the nightmarish scenario of having to play perhaps 8 additional fixtures. That's exactly what we need before winter has even began.
We were favourites to win the 2nd division this season, an outcome that would have us back in the 1st come August 2010.
The longer this goes on, the less cance there is that we'll be in the 1st division come August 2010, for the reasons outlined above.
Re. convinced it will be overturned - why???????McDougall and Rankine might be tossers, but they're also hard nosed businessmen with friends throughout football. Thay're not doing this for a laugh. Hopefully the SFL expel them for refusing to fulfil their fixtures, but I can't see that happening.

I'm almost certain that Livingston's punishment will be overturned at some point, in which case I'm finished with Scottish football.
Just how many fixtures will Airdrie and Cowdenbeath effectively have to replay when the inevitable happens? Both clubs potentially face one the following:
1) Regular pumpings in a league niether squad was built for, if the decision is upheld but neither club risks strengthening.
2) Signing players on the assumption they'll complete the season in their current division, only to be bumped back down with an increased wage bill to meet on lower gates.
3) Running on their current squads in SLF2/3, but being unable to challenge when Livingston are restored to SFL1 due to a chronic fixture backlog and fatigue from the additional fixtures in the "wrong" division.
4) No income for weeks if fixtures are postponed pending the resolution of this mess.
Any of these is a disasterous outcome.
This situation is absolutely shambolic. Why are clubs with no link to the guilty party having their season ruined by the inertia of the governing bodies and the petulance of the Livingston board?
I couldn't care less about Livingston FC or their fans. I do care that my own club is effectively being punished for the wrongdoings of another.
To paraphrase Paul Martin's quote from a few weeks back, this isn't sport as I know it.

Piss off. The SFA have NO jurisdiction over the SFL in terms of the SFL rules.
Tight vote though today - 16-10. Too close for my liking and shows there are still some numbskulls kicking about the clubs. It should have been 26-0.
Anyone know who the 10 clubs who voted to help Livi are?
Airdrie and Cowdenbeath abstained, Annan and Livingston had no vote, I presume?
Given how close that was, JB should have put aside his cloak of neutality and voted to uphold the decision.

Getting in the practise in case it's my club next,there are quite a few others who need the practise as well.
That would be the very same self interest that you're castigating the remainder of the SFL for, no?
4 third division games this weekend againWhy?
The LMC's decision has been upheld. Livingston are a third division club. That's explicitly clear from the rules quoted, recardless of your interpretation of how they've been followed thus far.
If Livingston refuse to play again, they should be booted out.

I know the points for scrubbing won't be decided or discussed at a SGM.
In which case whay on earth does it matter whether Livingston should have played in division 1 or division 3 prior to their appeal being heard?
The only club adversly effected by the impasse over the SFL and Livingston's interpretation of the relevant rules are East Stirling. Livingston were due to play away from home, so haven't lost out through their stance.

Some posters need to remember that today isn't about what games should or should not have been played at the weekend. It's about whether the penalty imposed on Livingston for going into administration, and whether the SFL were acting within their discretionary power to relegate them to the Third Division.
The Management Committee will sort out what penalty, if any, Livi show incur for refusing to play East Stirlingshire.
Something which Mr Absurdly Angry of South Ayrshire should bear in mind before pawing at his keyboard again.

Idiots who wish to release Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi aka the Lockerbie bomber, a terrorist and mass murderer on the grounds of "Sympathy for his terminal condition" its the biggest joke ive honestly ever heard and any respect i had for our goverment and court is completely gone.
I do have a great deal of sympathy for him, as he clearly had f'ck all to do with the Lockerbie bombing whatsoever.
Any respect I had for our government and judicial system went out of the window when we started cutting deals with the likes of Gadaffi.

My only hope tomorrow is that I still have a club to support . WTF will I do on Saturdays . I dont think we will be expelled, but survival in Div 3 itself does not guarantee the clubs future.
Yet survival in division 1 does?
Your avearge gate should only be down 200-300 if the home fans turn out. Let's say thay puts the income down by £5K per game, which is on the generous side after taking into account VAT, extra stewarding etc. That gives a total hit of 90 grand a season, the equivalent of 3-4 full time players' wages at first division level.
The club could always do what Airdrie did upon relegation, and cut the squad to the bare minimum to reduce the wage bill to match income. I suppose that's not the Livi way though.
I sincerely hope that your club is expelled today. That won't happen though, which is a shame.

At the moment Airdries' level is Div 2 but for the 2nd season running they're being made to play in Div 1 and IMHO it is slowly killing them.
That's a little bit simplistic.
If we had a good tilt at division two, I daresay that a few hundred punters would re-appear. That said, a decent mid-table run in division 1 coud see our support get back to 1500 or so, if recent experience is any indication.
The chairman has to get his finger out his arse regardless of what division we find ourselves in. He's done little or nothing to entice lapsed fans and locals who haven't previously attended to come along.
The club's profile in Airdrie and the surrounding area is non-existant. There are 2500 Airdrie fans out there who live within a resonable distance of the stadium. Only 800 are regularly turning up for league games. Something has to be done, urgently, to find out why.
I don't see what's stopping any consortium buying a league place and applying to play at Almondvale. The precedent's been set .... whether you'd want to is another thing. Ask Jim Ballantyne ... according to the A&C Advertiser he sounds a bit pissed at the apathy of the Airdrie public. He takes a pounding every other week on the Stomp and seems like he's poured a fortune after keeping a team yo-yoing between the 1st and 2nd divs ... and what happens when all the basket cases have been gotten rid of ? No-one to keep them in the 1st then
... It's a completely thankless task. I'm sure that Rae the Morton chairman - who undoubtedly saved their bacon - gets it in the neck ... Jings even at our level - our board get pelters and we've not known a season where we've not had some kind of success.See above.
Ballantyne has been apathetic towards the Airdrie support, and has blocked potential investment into the club if rumours are to be believed.
I appreciate that he wants the budget to match the income, but squeezing the wage bill year on year has impacted on the squad which in turn brings the gates down. Tis a vicious circle, which only a combination of investment and engagement within the community will fix.

Welcome back
Finally the SFL have grown some balls
That's quite an apt phrase, as we're going to get boabied senseless this coming season.
What a fucking farce. Self-preservation wins again.Get it f'cking round you.
My disappointment is eased by knowing that you c'nts are going out of the game.

Livi got relegated
Looking on the bright side, they'll soon be no more.
On a less welcome note, you'd be as well entering us in the fucking Champions League as the 1st division, for all the points we're likely to pick up.

I'd be delighted if I was an Airdrie United fan at this point. Not often that teams will get a second bite at the cherry like this.
Aye, because getting raped every week in a division the club patently isn't able to compete in is a mouthwatering prospect.

Reckon you just had a bad batch.
The local has that on draught fairly often and I've always found it a decent if unpectacular pint.
Whisper it but Wetherspoons pubs in and around Glasgow tend to serve a good pint of the various Kelburn beers too.
