  1. I have followed all the various threads on the pyramids with great interest. I understand your distaste for the pyramid system as is, but I would appreciate if you lay out your proposals as to how the various non league systems could move from the current dogs dinner ( in your view ) we have at present, to how it should be - with a timescale too if possible.
  2. Avg is the one that i use and it has as good a reputation as any. tbh, there isn't a lot to chose between the best of the free ones. If you check the rankings they each seem to take turns at being the best as they upgrade and improve
  3. According to Microsoft themselves, they do suggest that MSE will only give the minimum level of security and suggest that a fully fledged antivirus be used. I read somewhere that the reason they had to provide a beefed up minimum security system, was to counter the Apple claim that the Microsoft products had no antivirus and open to attack.
  4. I would suggest the first thing you might want to do is back your photos to a flash drive, (just got a 128gb one for £24) and sort your photo's from there. I know that Adobe Lightroom is probably the sort of program that would do the job for you but that is the best part of £100 ! Picasa is great for editing and will also show the technical info about the photo, including date etc.
  5. Probably been a setting change somewhere along the way but tis simple to get your computer to show picture thumbnails in your My Picture folders. Computer / Properties / Advanced System settings / Performance pane / Settings button / Visual Effects Tab / Ensure the Show thumbnails instead of icons option is checked. Have fun !
  6. I reckon the feeling of QoS fans on here must be very similar to those of the Motherwell fans earlier when Stuart McColl decided to be interviewed by Sheffield United. In the end he chose to stay at Motherwell. Who knows what decision AJ will make once he has all the facts to make his decision. Best of luck for the season ahead anyway.
  7. Gretna were financially prudent when they first admitted to SFL3. They were 6th then 3rd in the first 2 seasons in Div 3. It all started to go wrong sometime after Mileson got involved. I have no idea when he first started his financial meltdown of the club.
  8. Been there, done that............. and moved on. When you have an owner, who in their own wee world, that thinks there is nothing wrong with the way they run their business and yet is so at odds with normality, everyone gets screwed. Both had owners who decided that it would be simpler to ignore the system while chasing the fame and glory. Everyone knows that in reality there is nothing different between the way Rangers and Gretna were run - simply a matter of scale !! In the end up the fans get screwed, have to take all the abuse from all other supporters that were shafted by their run to glory - and then move on Rangers fans rightly dished out just as much abuse when Gretna went under and now simply have to take it themselves now.
  9. Am wondering what we are expected to believe with this list and what is it trying to tell us ?? Is it really suggesting that only the finalists in each competition should be the real winner ?? Not any other team that Rangers put out on the way to the final ?? IMO this is simply a totally nonsensical view of amended historical results.
  10. If Rangers really believe the right thing to do would be to go down to the 3rd division it really is very simple for them. Just dont play the last game of the season and they would have to be automatically relegated. After that the SFL could then demote them to the 3rd division. As a first step - everyone would be happy!!
  11. The SPL club chairmen are gonna be doing a rare old balancing act with a lot to consider in the next few days. Sky/ESPN could pay a lot less for tv rights if Rangers not in the SPL – so less money coming in. But Rangers not in the SPL could mean a higher league position – more money coming in. But Rangers not in the SPL could mean more competitive matches – more money coming in. But Rangers fans next season have been threatening a boycott - so no money from them. But Each club has supporters threatening a boycott – no money from them. Sounds like the chairmen are all gonna need a lie down after they finally make their decision !!
  12. I do believe that automatic relegation to division 3 should be the penalty for going into administration. The problem we have is that we would need to have the two organisations, SPL & SFL, to work together to achieve this. As Gretna were gonna be relegated anyway, the additional punishment was imposed by the SFL to demote them to Div 3. They simply didn’t last long enough to get there. Livingston suffered the same demotion. So the precedent has already been set by the SFL, and it just needs the SPL to make relegation automatic instead of the current proposed hotchpotch. I reckon that if it had been any other club that was in administration then the SPL may well have been considering relegation as a suitable punishment.
  13. has not set their status

  14. Hi Longjohn, Yep its the same old one and only me !! VT
