No doubt its been a good season in fact a good few seasons. Just because its been good on the park why cant off the field questions be asked? 

 

the questions are still valid tho - who owns Livi FC?

With no game this weekend we decided to release a special bonus edition of Talk Livi....

This week we feature ex Livi keeper and fans favourite Darren Jamieson. 

Deejay spoke to Calum about coming through the youth ranks at Livi, becoming number 1, the petrofac cup final and how that kick started the great escape season, he tells us the secret to saving penalties, his move to Bo’ness which helped land him a move to premiership Hamilton, before falling out of love with the game, deciding to go part time and moving to Arbroath.

I'd say a lot has changed, we're not spunking money about all over the place for one, that's a big change, appear to be running things pretty well off the pitch too, as well as on the pitch. Not had any adverse publicity of financial problems for a few seasons, in fighting, any sign whatsoever that players or staff are unhappy.

 

Dunno who's coming in now but hopefully it carries on the same way Ward had it going, and we don't attract some Massone type shyster looking to make some quick dosh from fucking us over. 

I remember reading an article in the DR when Gordon Ford took over, saying there was no reason we couldn't be a Premiership club, and I was thinking he was away with the fairies talking nonsense, unbelievable that we've actually turned things around so quickly and have actually got there. Last season felt surreal, don't think anyone could believe it when we won the play offs, even the players looked like they were thinking, feck we're in the Premiership next season.

As far as we know we’re not spunking money. We’ve no bank debt that's a positive. We must have made money this season surely? 

We know Rankine is not allowed  shares in Livi unless that position has changed?  We were told Ward was new owner of the club. He has gone now and by all accounts he was a very decent guy.

Asking a very simple question. Who owns Livi FC?

Who do we think will be captain next season? One of the current players or will we try bring in a new signing and make them captain? Halkett has captained this side very well last couple seasons
Lot of people mention Byrne. Lithgow stepped into the captain's role against Hibs when Halkett was missing and I thought he did great. Either of them would be a good choice but I'd opt for Lithgow, his communication seems to be slightly better than Byrne's

I think it should a current player as our success has been built on continuity so this would be consistent with that. 

A concern I have about it being a defender is that it might affect their concentration. I’d have less of a concern for a player further up the park. Unsurprisingly, i’m not a professional footballer, so it may not be an issue.

It shouldn’t be decided just on communication I don’t think. I would say Gallacher is a lot more vocal than Halkett but Halkett is a leader the way he plays on the park. Kelly speaks well and constantly shouts instructions to teammates

I daresay Byrne isn’t even a starter at the moment, so will be interesting to see if he can win his place back in the side. At the start of the season I thought he would’ve been a shoe-in, but there’s actually a few credible candidates in the side: Kelly, Lithgow, Byrne, Jacobs and Pittman.

I wouldn’t say he isn’t a starter. He was arguably our best player at Celtic park behind Liam kelly. If he wasn’t sent off vs Dundee he would have played every game. Jacobs is a good shout to but he doesn’t play every game if there’s a game midweek and a weekend game

Agree that Byrne has had a spell on the sidelines because of that sending off. I thought he would get the nod for Celtic Park because his ball retention is good and he is up there with Robinson in winning ‘clever’ free kicks, IMO.   Keaghan isn’t in the team regular enough either so by process of elimination I guess Lithgow gets it? I don’t think we need to draw any more attention to Kelly as he is inspirational as it is and I expect he’ll bark orders regardless. ...Unless Byrne remains in the team now. Anyone’s guess! :lol:
