Various timbos still obsessed by a SFL3 team, I see. They can't stop talking about them.

Yet you claim others are obsessed. |

12-(8-8-8)-12-18 seems almost done.
Intrigue and scepticism at the same time. |

What's going to happen to the playoffs between the 2nd & 3rd division? When Rangers win the league in a month or 2, the season will be over and the whole season would've been pointless for the other teams. If I was a supporter of a team at the top of the second division, if be raging. All the teams in the bottom 6 will benefit more than the top ones with playing Rangers next season.

I'm disappointed. I dont like splits, I think they are pointless and add nothing to the competition. The most important thing to sort out is the product and quality of player on show. No amount of league reconstruction will address that.

So as things stand if the season ended today this is where everyone will be: SPL: Celtic Inverness CT Motherwell Hibernian Aberdeen St Johnstone Kilmarnock Dundee Utd Hearts St Mirren Ross County Dunfermline. Scottish Championship: Dundee Morton Thistle Raith Falkirk Livingston Hamilton Cowdenbeath Airdrie Dumbarton QotS Alloa. The remaining teams in the SFL2 and all those currently in SFL3 will form the Scottish National league. Nobody will lose out on promotion. Those in the 4th tier of Scottish Football will still end up in the 3rd tier regardless. |

All depends on what sort of sponsorship deals are available for the new league body. The status quo is no longer an option, neither is an option that would benefit one team to the detriment of other. |

Meritocracy will still be in place where possible.

so promotion from bottom teir to bottom teir is a promotion?
Winning SFL3 should not place that club ahead of those already in SFL2 i.e the likes of Alloa. |

In all honesty the SPL could propose just about anything (other than a bigger league) and there would still be a kneejerk reaction against it by the league expansion bandwagon.
At least 8-8-8 has some genuinely objective reasoning behind it as opposed to the self-serving desire to make the league bigger just so your team gets promoted (and that is absolutely the primary reason why league expansion is so popular). |

Dundee have taken Gary Harkins on-loan from Kilmarnock, according to the Daily Express.
Good bit of business if true. |

in order for the proposals to be accepts there needs to be an 11-1 vote for in the SPL and 22 out of the 29 full members in the SFL.
As Rangers are only associate members they will not get to vote. |

Celtic to announce major new shirt sponsorship deal at 3pm.
Although there is a rumour that it'll just be an extension of current deal. |

I want an independent deal which doesnt involve the New club.

The Ranges have supposedly been offered an extension but on reduced terms and they are refusing to sign. |

Supposed to be that it is an extension of the current deal with C&C and that it will be Magners on the shirt instead of Tennents.

From the Magners wiki... Quote:
Commercial cider production was started in Clonmel, South Tipperary in 1935, by local man William Magner.[1] Magner bought the orchard from a Mr Phelan from Clonmel. Magner quickly established a successful cider factory in Dowds Lane, Clonmel. In 1937 English cider-makers H. P. Bulmer purchased a 50% share in the business, using their expertise to greatly increase production. After the war in 1946, Bulmers purchased the remaining 50%, changing the name to Bulmers Ltd Clonmel.[2]H.P. Bulmer maintained international rights to the Bulmers trade mark, so that any exports were carried out via the parent company rather than directly exported from Ireland. Of course, as any Celtic supporter will tell you, this makes Magners acider a brand new drink, as no-one has ever tasted it before. The fact that it only has a new owner/holding company, is neither here nor there for them.
That last bit gave me a giggle
