What's the most "Tin Pot" thing you've seen in the SPFL

Tbf that’s good delegation and multitasking IMO. His assistant has done all the pre/post match interviews this week and we won 4-0.

He is responding to tweets mentioning his name from people he doesn’t seem to follow.  Very odd - and egotistical - behaviour.

Hampden "ends" should be determined by where the teams are coming from. Kilmarnock coming up the M77? West End. Hearts coming along the M8? East End. If that means Rangers fans being in the "wrong end" playing Kilmarnock or Ayr or St Mirren or whomever and Celtic fans being in the "wrong end" against Hibs or Livingston or Dundee Utd or whomever then tough. When they play each other then knock yourselves out. We played Celtic in 3 Cup finals in the 2000s and each time we had to drive all the way through Glasgow to get to the West Side of Hampden while Celtic took "their" end. Total shite.

Has any journalist, or club ever asked the SFA why they do it?

Hibs spoke to the SPFL last year when we were in the LC final about a variety of ticketing issues.

I spoke to our CEO about it and he said that, in his opinion Scottish football appeared to be run for the benefit of 2 clubs.

He found Doncaster's attitude to Hibs requests quite revealing.

But then, our CEO is English and perhaps wasn't prepared for just how much they are given (over and above their financial advantages).

I'm bored. I feel an email to the SFA coming on

Would be delighted at this myself. The 'Celtic' end is terrible with f**k all pubs and less train stations just a big industrial estate. Would happily swap.

Never forget Scottish football is the way it is because the non-Old Firm clubs let it happen. We use terms like Hampden, SFA and SPFL but they all mask the real truth. These organisation are made up by all the clubs. Doncaster is a highly paid stooge there to take the flack and is another wall for the clubs to hide behind. Basically the clubs are getting what they want while their fans most certainly aren't and there is not a genuinely will amongst them to change it as 2012 showed.
