Aye, for the vast majority of clubs nothing would change in a pyramid system. They'd play the same teams in the same local leagues. The only change would be the potential for successful, ambitious clubs to test themselves in higher leagues and for the not-so-successful ones to sink to a sustainable level.

See, this is a good example of why a pyramid system is a good idea: clubs that are feel they are ambitious enough to pay semiprofessionally in a regional division can, those who feel they are best served playing locally can too. Everyone finds their level. Yes, you're always going to have outliers in any league, but that's part and parcel of playing in a league. You can't deny a club in the peripheries competitive football because their grounds awkward to get to once a season. Although a relatively poor standard, the SoSFL is, as far as the SFA is concerned, the senior division covering the West, as the EoSFL is the east. With the elevation of the HFL, there isn't an equivalent in the north. Yes, I think a LL/HL equivalent for the West makes sense, but until there is a critical mass of licenced clubs in the West, it's not feasible - I appreciate the chicken and egg conundrum here... One question I've asked before and not for an answer: if, for example, St Cuthbert or Threave or, dare I say it, Oban wanted to join the Juniors, would they not join the West Region? Now to be region-wide tiers.

But for the vast majority of clubs, very little would change in a pyramid system. They'd still be playing local teams. Why should ambitious clubs be denied the opportunity to compete at higher levels and equally why should poor teams not fall to a sustainable level?

Playing devil's advocate here, but say the situation was reversed and St Cuthbert, Threave and the like wanted to join the juniors, would they not be admitted to the West Region? We're all saying that a three region pyramid would be optimal. Although I agree compared to the West Super Prem, the SoSL is poor, I can sort of see the SFA's argument that the SoSL is the senior non-league covering the West in the same way that the EoSL is in the East Region. It's obviously not ideal, but you're always going to have clubs in the peripheries that are relatively remote. Short of kicking then out (unfair) then you have limited other options.

Yep. There's a black market for them too.

Sadly, you've summed up a significant proportion of the UK electorate there.

No, the EU is entering negotiations to get the best deal for its members, as you'd expect an economic union to do. Why would you think they'd give the UK carte blanche to set its own demands unilaterally? We will negotiate, unfortunately I think the EU has much superior negotiating power than the UK. If there's no agreement, it's a Hard Brexit and we can look forward to years of economic stagnation.

And you won't look at actual qualified doctors because it won't support yours. Touché. I like how you say we're overpaid and then say your solution is to pay us more. Sadly, as ever, you have no clue about the structure of medical training and the major issues that the health service is currently facing.

I wouldn't look at applications to medical school, I would look at the progression of Foundation doctors to core/specialty training and Core Trainees to higher training: particularly in General Practice, Emergency Medicine, Acute Medicine, Psychiatry, Anaesthesia & Intensive Care. Less than half of Foundation doctors entered specialty training. Fill rates for posts in the acute specialties ranges from 20% to 70%. This is across the board, but worse in England. Uncertainty caused by contract 'negotiations', basically a 17% paycut over the last seven years, increasing workload, creeping privatisation. We are heading for a storm. I look forward to your insights on how to fix this.

It's not just "The Juniors" that have a monopoly on local connections. In fact I'd argue that pretty much every club in Scotland has local connections. My issue with football in Scotland is the pointless and divisive classification into Senior, Junior, Amateur, Welfare. We should just have football clubs.

If the season is currently Aug-June, then your equivalent "Summer" season is something like Feb-Nov or Mar-Dec. It's still Winter football, with the disadvantage that your tail-end of season catch-up matches are being played in Nov or Dec. Countries playing summer seasons generally play fewer league games and usually only one cup.

Adverts on the app for us platinum folk too...

I'd've thought by now you'd've realised that no-one here cares what you think, even your other trolling mates. The irony in your last sentence is staggering.

In German "Es ist halb zwölf" means "It's half to twelve" i.e. 1130. If you think about it, it makes as much sense as us saying "It's half past eleven". We even say "Quarter to..."

It depends. We seem to be getting more stuff through National Procurement now.

Whatever happened to Robbie the Pict? Good lad on getting the Skye Bridge tolls removed. Is he still claiming his croft is an independent Pictish nation?

It's not just GPs. We have struggled to recruit in all specialties for many years. With the EU doctors leaving, we're going to see a repeat of several years ago when the new visa rules came in, making it almost impossible for subcontinent doctors to work here. At that time they were replaced by EU doctors, who knows what's going to happen now. It takes a minimum of 10 years to produce a newly qualified GP from a school leaver, up to 14 years for a consultant. More than a parliament. There's no long term planning and medical school places are artificially limited. With the number of GPs set to retire in the next few years, things are going to get worse.

It's not the NHS that sets and funds the university places. Hunt promised another 5000 GPs in England by 2021. Given there's now 500 fewer, where do you propose the other 4500 come from (as if that were enough).

It's only going to get worse now it's going to cost an aspiring nurse or allied health professional upwards of £27000 to train in England. That's joined up workforce planning... Historically, we filled our empty posts with medical staff from the Indian subcontinent and nursing staff from South East Asia. Now since they need tier 2 visas, they have been replaced by EU workers. Even after Brexit we will be importing NHS workers.

It's like the way France treats its overseas possessions, like La Réunion and Guadeloupe as integral parts of France. Spain treats Ceuta and Melilla as actual parts of its territory. The way the UK treats Gibraltar, Falkland Islands etc (as British Overseas Territories) is as separate areas under the control of, but not part of the UK. It's a subtle difference, but enough for the UN to be happy about decolonisation.

SPFL Regulation C41: "The Company shall present to each Division Champion Club, 25 Division Champions medals for Players, other staff and Officials. Additional Division Champions medals may be purchased from the Company with the prior consent of the Board. Only those Players who participated in 25% or more of the League Matches for the relevant Division Champion Club in the relevant Season will be eligible to receive such medals."

I think it's pretty obvious he's talking about tariff free access to the Single Market.

Someone used my card to buy a load of online shopping at Asda. But because it was the first time I'd 'shopped' at Asda I got 10% cash back and made nearly £30 after the bank refunded me the rest.
