Sorry but don`t think for one minute the sale of three of our players to your lot saved our club.Don`t see you punting any players on.We sold our stadium etc to keep the wolves from the door. -

I know the SFL/SFA are a shower of useless c*nts but wouldn`t think even they would hand out a punishment as minimal as that Would they? -

Thats last weeks news This weeks news McGlynn’s plans to bring an unnamed Premier League striker to Stark’s Park on loan—several names have been bandied about but the manager won’t yet name who he has in mind. “The lad is playing with his club and injuries have cropped up with some of their players and the player himself, so it’s not working out as well as we’d expected, but that’s the sort of thing that happens,” he continued. -

The deadline was midday today but in the interview it would appear that really isn`t the case as McGruther has said Massone has till pre SFL meeting tomorrow to agree For me thats dragging it on If the deadline was supposed to be today and Massone rejected the deal as he has done,thats it,finto.No need for McGruther to sit down with interested parties as there would be none.Quick phone call to the SFA/SFL to give them a quick heads up pre meeting on the Thursday would be suffice -

Correct,McGruther stated that the final deadline was midday then went on to say unless the shares were transferred pre the SFA/SFL meeting tomorrow so in affect Massone has till tomorrow to agree Talk about dragging it on I still think a deal will be done and Livi will survive -

Yes Tade is faster but stronger I don`t think so.He was blown over by a gust of wing in the game against Airdrie.Weir will win us more free kicks in and around the box As I said previously Weir has created most if not all of Tades numerous goalscoring opporchancitys which hes failed to take any of.If we had a striker who had scored from these opporchancitys I don`t think Weir would be getting it in the neck.Sloan was lauded last season for the chances he created..I agree Tade is fast but thats the only attribute he has that Weir doesn`t but for me Weir is stronger and has a better work rate -

I think you`ll find up until Saturday Weir has created most if not all of Tades numerous chances all of which hes missed. How is bizarre logic?Of course hed be the supporters golden boy if he had taken all his chances,thats natural.It would be the same with any player.However Tade has contrived to miss all his chances so hes getting crucified as is Davidson btw. -

C`mon,If hes interested he ain`t going to plough money in to a debt ridden club out of the goodness of his heart or because hes a football man as you call him. McDougals a businessman -

ANGELO MASSONE last night launched a stinging attack on West Lothian Council as they prepare to pull the plug on his reign at Livingston. The Italian owner is refusing to go quietly after the council finally made their move to put the club into administration. The court of session in Edinburgh will be asked to act this morning after local politicians ran out of patience, with the club £330,000 in debt after failing to pay rent, rates and building insurance. The SFL are monitoring the situation and Livi could even start the new season in the Third Division or with a 15-point deduction in the First. But Massone said: "If one party is killing this football club it's the council. This decision to apply to put the club into administration is a disaster. "Only 10 days ago I deposited £350,000 in my bank account and put a serious business plan in front of the council. I offered to pay them £100,000 immediately but they refused. "I mean, there's a credit crunch on and they refused £100,000? "Maybe they have another project in mind for the stadium at Almondvale. They wrote me letters and said they would not start any legal proceedings without contacting me first and yet they didn't even tell me about this. "I want to save this club and I have been speaking very seriously with people about third-party involvement. But this move from the council is the way to kill the club." But council leader Peter Johnston said: "A secure future for senior football in West Lothian remains our priority and we have taken this legal action with great reluctance. "However, we have a clear duty to all residents and businesses in West Lothian to make every effort to ensure the debt is repaid." Potential saviour Gordon McDougall is ready to move immediately, while former Dumbarton chairman Neil Rankine is also keen to take over the club. McDougall said: "I'm aware of the situation and hope things work out well for the club." Livi are due to travel to Queen of the South tomorrow in the Challenge Cup and there are no fears about the game at this stage. The mans a fruit cake Seems to be the case according to one of the rags "Cash strapped Livi have struck a life saving CVA which will allow Livi to carry on for now " -

In one of the rags today,the Daily Retard to be precise so it must be true Murphy "With under 19`s and trialists we have close to 30 guys in training which is good."I do want to strengthen the squad but we must be creative."I have already been contacted by some SPL clubs who want to send players out on loan" -
