You're right, but I think all clubs will have decisions they can point to that'll they'll feel aggrieved they didn't get.
Surely you’re not including the Glasgow business partners?

Seeing folk pick Livi to finish bottom when we've finished preseason scoring 16, conceding 2 and losing none is really something. We're far stronger than we were last season and have returned to Brexit ball/physical football where we don't concede.
This aged well!

Congratulations Stenhousemuir. Great story. Renews my faith in football to see a club like yours have a moment of glory. Well done

Wouldn't the rangers and celtic play each other 4 times anyway, without the split ?
Only if you assume that they would accept a 44 game season, which they wouldn’t.

The split was designed to make sure Sky could get 4 borefests involving the Glasgow business partners. The fact that the bottom six is normally much more interesting than the top six is a happy coincidence but as TV companies usually ignore the more exciting games says it all.

Rufus unimpressed with Crufts!

The biggest winner with VAR is the bookies in my opinion. Maybe I’m just a sore loser, but goals being chopped off for minor infringements in the build up have cost me at least 6 times this season, all over Europe!

The VAR discussion ended up going the way it thought, and while I have sympathy for those saying, "VAR isn't giving us the sorts of equality and accountability that we were told it would", the simple fact is that VAR is here to stay. With that in mind, do you continue to fight a Sisyphean battle or pivot to working on making it the accountability tool it really should be? I'm not here to convince anyone, just laying out the 'reality' as Eddie asked me to do.
While I would like to move on from this (the VAR thread is more than capable of holding any number of nuanced positions where this thread should be St Mirren specific) I do want to press on this being a "good thing" that the SFA admitted their error. It won't retrospectively change our points, but the only reason they felt the need to come out and admit that is because VAR is in place. Previously they had the excuse "the referee didn't get a complete look at it", whereas that deniability is no longer valid. Human error once again.
With that, I'll not try and not drag this topic on any more.
Bravo Ric. Greenied for Sisyphean. . Very highbrow for this thread

Everything about The Barclays is summed up in this game. Standard on show is awful, as expected. Remember that every single player on show tonight is a multi-millionaire! The cream of the sport. The commentary is laughably cringeworthy and the half time analysis is bordering on the surreal.

This is one of the fundamental differences between Labour today and Labour in 1997.
I know some have said that Labour are just trying to not rock the boat like 97 - but the key difference is that even the principleless Blair knew he couldn't bin every policy inherited from John Smith.
The other key difference is that voters in 97 were enthusiastic about a Labour Government - I genuinely believe they aren't this time. Labour's lead is built on quick sand, reliant on hatred for the Tories and not on voters choosing policies. I'm still not sure that the next election is the shoe-in that some think - events this week show how fragile Labour really.
This is it in a nutshell. In 1997 young people were genuinely excited to vote for Blair. Even Corbyn was able to mobilise young people in England, but Sir Keith has no principles nor charisma and certainly no policies to enthuse anyone. I suspect that turnout will be an all time low and a Labour landslide is far from certain

So any criticism of Israeli actions in Gaza or the West Bank is antisemitism? Is this Starmer’s position?
I assume that if an Israeli citizen were to commit a crime in London, he/she cannot be prosecuted as that would constitute antisemitism.6 -
This will never go any further than a trial. Reminds me of the experiment in the old league cup when they drew a line 35 yards out and you could only be offside within that distance. Dropped quickly.
imagine a cup final, 1-1 with a couple of minutes to go in extra time, having used all their subs. Keeper gets a blue card for time wasting. Penalty shoot out with no keeper? Or blue carded during the shoot out

Heard an advert repeatedly on some Florida radio station for Hoondy. Took me ages to realise it was for Hyundai.

I think for us to make top 6 we need a miracle we might make top 8 if we are lucky.

Firstly this is a genuine question. From the outside looking in, it appears that Livingston and Martindale in particular thought that Nouble would be another cash cow like Dykes. Is it not the case that this season was derailed by no bids coming in for Nouble?

Is this the place to post this? I despair
Eta. I thought it was only royals who could wear uniforms they weren’t entitled to. Is this not a criminal offence?0 -

Even though I am a lifelong golfer, and love the sport, this past couple of years has finished me with professional golf. I have no interest any longer in even watching the majors and Ryder Cup on TV any more. I have as much interest in what is going on with it now as I have in what goes on in the world of crown green bowls. If a closed-shop manufactured, ‘super league’ came to pass, with yer’ Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Man City and Bayern Munich types all fcuking off and jumping into bed together, then ‘elite level’ professional football, for me, would simply disappear into the same ‘fcuk off’ bucket as golf has done.
Couldn’t agree more. When multi millionaires like John Rahm show the sheer greed at the top level, it’s time to stop watching. The EPL is the same. Lowest paid player in the top league is a 17 year old academy player at Nottingham Forest who earns around £180000 a year! The game at that level is burst.

As a supporter of a club that this will not affect, it amuses me to hear and read the seethe from our southern cousins. This whole proposal has been caused by the hoovering up of enormous money by the EPL. Huge European clubs look at the fact that they cannot compete with Bournemouth, Crystal Palace etc with wages and see this as a way of breaking the English monopoly. This is business and all the legislation in the U.K. parliament will have zero effect, if the cash cow from Sky etc dry up. Watch the top English clubs clammer to be included after a very short time, if indeed money talks.

Adams is a strange wee man and always has been. However, he is at least partially correct about the standard of our top league. This is entirely down to money. Average footballers can leave say St Mirren or Motherwell after signing a one year contract, to sign on with EFL 1 and 2 clubs, for double or more than they were getting here. Nothing we can do about that. Young prospects leave for development fees to join English development squads for good salaries and who can blame them. Many disappear and are never heard of again.
Scottish football clubs should accept the reality of this and stop signing journeymen on short term contracts and develop their own players, with a view to sell them on if they are good enough. Our 12 team league doesn’t help as 10 clubs are terrified of relegation.Adams is still a fud though. Ross County are the classic example of a club who brings in dozens of journeymen every year on short term contracts.

Least interesting club is Stranraer. Terrible ground, sh*** town, never done anything ever

Livi win or Martindale goes I think
I’ve no idea what Livingston fans expect. Smallest support/ budget in the league and have punched way above their weight for years. Like Hamilton before them. I honestly don’t believe Martindale is under any pressure and certainly shouldn’t be.
