Anyone willing to make a £10 charity bet?*

I say he'll never play for that mob again.

He's done an interview with the Daily Mail as well, will be carried as an exclusive in the Scottish press on Wednesday.

I think quite a few of us said it would end in tears and his legs were a bit too old and we were told we were jealous.

I don't think even we thought it would fall apart quite so quickly.

No doubt the "I said no to Celtic" claim will keep a few of them onside.

I was amazed when they appointed Tommy Craig, that was a bizarre decision.

St Mirren could struggle to get promoted for quite a few seasons.
There's more of a chance of Morton getting up to the Premiership before St Mirren. Morton seem to be the top Renfrewshire senior club now.

St Mirren must have thought by going down the experience route would help them to get promoted in the long run even if it meant them waiting until the cycle of 2 big traditional big top flight teams competing in the championship to come to an end to get a chance of promotion back up again.

It's a hard league for any team that gets relegated to bounce back from.

More often than not it does take a club several seasons to get back to the Premiership again. We could very well be not seeing both Hibs and Dundee United both getting promoted at the end of the season.

Some of the teams already in the championship are no worse than the team been relegated from the Premiership. The top 4 from the championship are almost as good as or even as as good as the bottom 4 from the Premiership every season.

Going down the divisions I'm surprised that Edinburgh City have only picked up a single point so far yet in most of their matches it's been tight. Some of the teams at the top half of that table have beaten Edinburgh City this season have beaten other in the bottom half of the table teams by a bigger margin than they have against them. Yet Edinburgh City just can't seem to be able score twice to cancel out the loss of a single goal against their fellow opponents at the bottom half of the table.

Incredible decision to appoint Craig as a manager, well out of his depth.
They may end up battling the drop to League 1, going by yesterday's showing.
No wonder the owners were only too glad to hand over the reins to the fans Trust for a £1m or so. Must have ran away rubbing their hands vigorously.
It will take St Mirren a good 5 or 6 years at a minimum to come back from league 1 to the Premiership if they drop down.

They are still trying to find their feet at the level they are at, how long it takes them will be the deciding factor as to whether they stay up or not.

Mind you I can't see East Stirling making the playoffs at the end of the season. They're well off thr pace in the Lowland League and have also conceded an embarassing hatful of goals at that level.

Would Edinburgh suddenly play in the Highland League if the Highland League team makes the final and beat them over 2 legs?

Could Annan or Berwick play in the Highland League as well if they finish bottom of league 2, and then lose to the Highland League Champions? Likewise Elgin or Pterhead losing to the Lowland League Champions, they play in tge Lowland League?

It could soon turn into a farce in the near future where both teams in the play off final are located 120 miles + to the north and south of each other and the bottom team in league loses. The leagues were lucky this time around where both Edinburgh City and East Stirling were located in the same region i.e. the Lowland League area.

No chance that the likes of Annan could play in the Highland League or Elgin would play in the Lowland League. The lower leagues would have to do a bit of shuffling about to make it work.

I feel a bit sorry for East Stirling, used to like trips to Firs Park as a kid when they were playing Alloa.

Betting Celtic get pumped off Barcelona is hardly worthy taking action over, the whole world knew it would be 7-0 at least.

It stands for Fixed That For You.

Our 'friend' is claiming that the Zombies being in the league is the only reason we've sold so many season tickets.

Nothing to do with Brendan Rodgers and the 13k that turned up for his unveiling.
50k season tickets to see a Liverpool failure nobody in England would touch with a bargepole, yeah of course that's the reason.

I heard that was why the Camp Nou was so packed, Barcelona fans turning up early for a glimpse of Brenda.

He's going to Hovis work cut out keeping the media at bay, I think.

Try the veal...

I'm surprised BT haven't been banned from Ibrox.

Sutton the bankrupt, failed Lincoln City manager. Him raging about Dunfermline lying down still makes me

First referees and now Rangers, TEG is at work.

As for Barton's betting - after Black and Simonsen, would've thought Rangers players would know the easiest rule to understand in football by now.

Will be more than we'll get.

Between season tickets and European games costs I think it'll be a sparse crowd tomorrow.

Sutton not holding back on Warburton, no one arguing against him.

Sutton loves being the 'colour commentator'. He sees himself as being a bit like Eamon Dunphy and knows it'll keep him in a job.

Far better at it this season.

His comments on Warburton made Currie squirm '2nd biggest budget in the league', 'two wins in ten', 'Warburton has lost his magic hat'
