Hear Ye, Hear Ye...The Court of My Public Opinion is in Session!
By Matt | April 29th, 2008All rise for the Honorable Judge Matt. The first case is the state vs. the Scottish Football Association. Another charge of bias against the Celtic Football Club. Reports surfaced that the SFA were looking into possible punishments for Artur Boruc ...
SPL considers ground sharing and summer football
By Ian Rose | March 3rd, 2008There are two issues being talked about most in football club offices in Scotland lately, and those are the issues of ground sharing and summer football. When a club is promoted from the First Division to the SPL, their stadium is often not up to SPL sta
UEFA slaps SFA in the face, denies appeal
By Ian Rose | February 16th, 2008I can't tell you how much this angers me. In my opinion, UEFA exists to coordinate the European leagues, to make sure they all adhere to basically the same rules, and to stage the major continental competitions. As far as how leagues choose their partic
This is getting ridiculous
