| 18th April - Okay folks! Let's get focussed. We've got what is now the most important match of our season coming up on Saturday. The Dandies desperately need to get into Europe for next season, they need to have the potential extra income and equally important they need it for the further development of our blossoming players. A win over Livvy will secure the necessary points to make it impossible for Hearts or Dunfermline to catch up and take fourth place in the league. It's a simple equation, never mind all the permutations of events that can happen in the last two sets of matches, let's just get it done on the 21st. Let's show we can fill Pittodrie for games that don't involve the Old Farm. A massive crowd for a big game will make the atmosphere and help the team along no end so get your mates, along, get your sisters and your cousins and your aunts along. Let's pack Pittodrie to the rafters and as so often this season, make the difference. On top of all that, we should still be looking for third place too - the championship of the ten. Let's do it! C'mon you Redz!!! |
| 16th April - So we're heading for an SPL divorce between the Old farm and the rest. Well good-oh, let's
get on with a league where the playing field will be pretty even for a host of clubs instead of the might is right
type of setup we suffer from just now. Nobody can deny that a league with several teams challenging for the championship
will be much more exciting that what we have now. Plus there would likely be a better distribution of European
opportunities to reward the clubs that turn in the most consistent effort. Gates would be bound to increase in
localities where people believe that their local team has a chance of taking the title and that in turn would help
make the league more attractive for TV. Can't really see a downside on the competitive front. Of course some highly
paid players will be out of work, but then it has been their avarice, fueled by money hungry agents, that has put
almost every club in the country into hock. Good players will still get good wages, still better than you or I
can earn, but within the true capacity of their clubs to cover the cost. Hopefully we'll get even more effort on
youth development to bring on heaps of good Scottish players who will be more than happy to play for realistic
money and who will be much more ready to try for their clubs than the expensive wandering mercenaries who have
tainted our game in recent years. Bye bye Old Farm. Won't miss you or your money, or your tedious pseudo-Irish religious bigotry one little bit. Even the guff about the crowd benefits you are supposed to bring when you visit around the country can be put to rest as people realise that they can go to games without having to listen to any of your self perpetuating hatred and spite. It all sounds rather idyllic really. |
