Yeah they do, but they still have players who should be finishing well above 2nd last

I was expecting them to be at least 6th

ScottishCanuck · 02-28-2013, 06:16 AM

2nd through 9th is a log jam this season.

Hearts manager John McGlynn has left the club by mutual consent.

It was going to happen eventually

I am pleased. Really deserved the 3-2 comeback (from 0-2 after 20 mins) win against Celtic. Their goals were goaltending catastrophes rather than good play. County were honestly the best team on the day.

The 91st minute winner made it all the sweeter after the way they pinched a draw in the last minute in our opening encounter of the season.

Hibs goal that wasn't given

Nice win yesterday jimmy, if you read this. Celtic just don't look interested at the moment but I thought County played really well.

jimmythescot · 03-10-2013, 03:07 PM

Was the linesman at the halfway line or something? That's ridiculous.

Yeah, Celtic's season is basically over other than the Scottish Cup.

I'm really happy with the way County are playing at the minute. The quick interplay is reminiscent of our play from last year in SD1. Just have to hope we can keep the team together for next year now that Adams seems have a squad that plays the way he wants it at this level.

Dunfermline have applied to be placed in administration, according to the club's honorary director Jim Leishman.

"Leishman said that a group of fans will to underwrite the administrators' fees, should the application be successful."

That's just postponing the inevitable.

Outwith Celtic's good European run Scottish football is in a terrible state at the moment.

Saw an article on an Irish football site that had Scotland/Ireland/N.Ireland and 2 clubs from Wales creating a Celtic League.

It worked in Rugby, but that's rugby.

tobo · 03-27-2013, 01:59 PM

I foresee a great future for this so called Celtic league.

vsk92 · 03-28-2013, 10:29 AM

Queen of the South became the first team in Britain to claim a league title this season by winning the Scottish Second Division.

Rangers won the 3rd division on 30th March.

Celtic will win the SPL today (06/04) if they beat Hibernian and Motherwell lose to St Mirren

The 1st division is more interesting with Partick Thistle & Morton trying to win it. Thistle have 5 point lead with 6 games to go

vsk92 · 04-05-2013, 06:36 PM

BBC Scotland has learned the former owner of Rangers is threatening to go to court to prove he still owns the club's assets.

The Scottish Premier League has confirmed it is pursuing legal costs for an investigation into undisclosed payments to Rangers players.

It's all one big mess

We can laugh all we want, but it remains fact that Scotland needs a strong Rangers. If not, this becomes the dullest league in Western-Europe... Well, besides the Luxemburgish league...

Nah. I'm loving the league. Don't care if Celtic win, the rest of the league has been incredibly close all year (with the exception of Dundee).

I really hope County keep the team together, but we really need a new centreback or two. Or we could just start playing Hainault. It seems like they're okay if the opponent is coming through the middle, but if it goes wide we're just relying on the fullbacks cutting off the cross or hoping that the cross is rubbish.

Of course the SPL is stronger when they are part of it, but currently this Rangers would struggle to avoid relegation and probably struggle in the 1st division. They are that bad, former players and fans agree with that.

Rangers chief executive Charles Green has been criticised by Show Racism the Red Card after using the term 'P***'.

Something's should be left unsaid

Yeah, it's the slur referring to a person from Pakistan, but generally used on anyone from the Indian sub-continent.

Nothing will happen, though

ScottishCanuck · 04-09-2013, 01:12 PM

What an idiot.

vsk92 · 04-09-2013, 07:54 PM

Dunfermline Athletic have been docked 15 points for going into interim administration.

It puts them into ninth place, two points behind Cowdenbeath who are in the relegation play-off spot.

ScottishCanuck · 04-10-2013, 07:59 AM

Charles Green is being exposed for what he is.

A compulsive liar. 2 and a half minute mark.
