Who was Craig Houston representing?

I stopped going in 2012, decide that all my football money would be spent on Rangers. Still like to see the team win. What team I supported never came up, like the Hibs fan you mentioned there’s always a couple of roasters at every game including Ibrox.

What new proceedings is he on about?

If they're not in attendance I would think that the Boys Club stuff may not be so vociferous from our side. One things for sure it has nothing to do with fan safety.

BBC Scotland has agreed a deal with the Scottish Professional Football League to extend its coverage of the Scottish Premiership and Championship to 2025. Live television coverage of Championship games will begin early in the new year. There is also an extension to existing radio coverage, as well as an enhanced digital offering and TV highlights.

Exactly. If people are so concerned and believe the SP should be discussing this why not contact all political party’s at Holyrood?

The Evening Express claims a ‘fifth tier’ would involve a 12-team setup comprising of four sides each from the Highland and Lowland Leagues. A further four colts teams would apparently round off the league structure. The SPFL are said to have circulated a draft proposal among several clubs. And the matter will reportedly be further discussed at a meeting of all the relevant sides in the next few weeks. The winners of the Highland and Lowland Leagues face each other in an end-of-season play-off to decide who faces the bottom-placed League Two club, under the current system. Cove Rangers, Brora Rangers and Buckie Thistle have all been unsuccessful in their promotion dreams since the introduction of the play-offs in 2015. Edinburgh City are the only club to move up into the fourth tier of Scottish football so far. The creation of a League Three would reportedly see a similar play-off structure to the one used between the Championship and League One, and League One and League Two, introduced. The eventual champions would therefore be promoted to League Two with the second, third and fourth-placed teams going into promotion play-offs.

Has this matter been raised in Scottish Parliament by anyone?

Celtc can keep shtum at present but this ain’t going away. When the court cases start the bad publicity will engulf then, unless they settle out of court which is a possibility.

It’s amazing that 15.9% of the population have more votes than the remaining 84.1% and they all vote the same way, incredible. Something should be done about it. And when you think about it the 15.9% is not entirely made up of Irish decendents.

I’m getting “congratulations- from primark etc every time I log on. Only get it on Gersnet.

Motherwell fan vlog from Saturday, 19 mins & 9 secs you will never get back.?

Found this, not sure how accurate costs are. Cost to follow Football in the coming seasons per year Sky Sports - £336 BT sport - £336 Premier sports - £120 Season ticket - £400 £1192 per year How much of the £792 annual subscription fees per supporter gets invested back into Scottish Football? Most will go straight to English football.

Found this, “they (Motherwell) attacked a member of the Union Bears in his car, he attempted to drive off and in doing so mowed down a wee lad (who I believe was with the mob attacking the car). Motherwell grassed him in and he got 18 months jail.”

‘Motherwell Grasses” is all it said. Plus figures of Motherwell fan taking to Cop.
