Morton have accepted a bid for Michael Tidser, most likely from Rotherham,

good luck to him as he is a brilliant player and deserves a shot at a higher level however any enthusiasm or optimism i had for the new season is quickly fading. our 3 best players if Tids accepts will have left the club and our wage structure is such that they probably wont be replaced by players of a,similar quality

A new dawn has arrived for Scottish football after the SPL and SFL formally agree to merge and the new SPFL board appointed.

David Longmuir has apparently secured a decent pay off with Neil Doncaster set to follow and a CEO for the SPFL appointed in due course.

they should take the rest of the GARBAGE with them!

according to the bbc it'll be Longmuir or Doncaster who will fill the role of CEO which is different to what the Sun believed earlier.

hopefully its longmuir as opposed to doncaster

Hopefully its neither.

Celtic in crisis after losing first pre season friendly 1-0.

On the plus side, show the goal around the EPL and Forster will stay for a while longer!

Morton lost 1-0 to Davie Weir's Sheffield United, former Motherwell player Porter(dont know the first name) with the only goal from the penalty spot.


Michael Tidser completed his move to Rotherham for £50000, a poor fee but expected when the chairman says he would accept that if offered in full

Neil Doncaster is the boss of SPFL.

God help us all...

is that an iceberg i see up ahead

I assume Doncaster wasn't after a secret payoff then.

well, scottish football is ****** .....

The SPFL's first radical change to the game is that First Division teams need to allocate squad numbers and have names/numbers on the back of strips.

New SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster - wants to be judged on his results and he has done a good job thus far despite the turbulent times ... somebody pulling our plonker here??

What a deluded chap he must be.

How have we managed to get a chief executive that nobody wants and reconstruction that isn't actually anything new - simply a case of re-shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic.

well that was the change we were all waiting for

Must admit I am bit of a traditionalist and like to see the team numbered 1 to 11.

Let's hope the First Division clubs don't go down the ridiculous route some SPL clubs have taken with players wearing for example numbers 88, 53, 66 etc.

Scottish Football is a joke with the two biggest teams using religious hatred to gain support

:yawn::yawn::yawn::yawn:

Thanks for that, you have really opened our eyes there....

The Titanic has sunk.

just arrived on the boat, have you

and yes they do

For any punters, depending on your Bookie and whatever odds & places are available of course, have an each-way on Dumbarton FC for SPFL Div1 this coming season. Seen them v Hibs last week and they were very good, should have won, yesterday v CSS in Edinburgh, excellent too. Before i'm shot to pieces, the transformation under Ian Murray last season was amazing, Sons are a part-time club, but Murray has brought in a Full-Time Club ethos, e.g. balanced meals before a match and after, ice baths, warm downs, a Sports Psychologist etc. Team spirit is high, players were dying to re-sign for a part-time club with only one 2,000 seater Stand. I watched every home match last year, Sons were the only team in Div1 to beat every side, for this coming season the pitch has been shortened & narrowed.Have a wee punt folks

While I agree that Murray transformed them into one of the form teams in the second half of the season I can't see them maintaining that sort of consistency for the full campaign especially losing Lister and still looking short in numbers in defensive positions.

I do expect them to be the best of the 3 part time teams and finishing 5th or 6th would be a real achievement for the Sons.
