Weather looks to be okay for game . Would be nice to have a big crowd of bears to celebrate the season. Things could have been a lot worse with these people in charge of Scottish Football.

shouldn't be paying anyone that much at this level. Can't fix Scottish Football paying ridiculous salaries.

Anyone have an idea how many tickets have been sold for this ? If it hits 35k that would make QP the number 13 or 14 in attendance this season. All due to the bears!!

Some say Scotland has too many football teams. What they really have is too many half arsed media outlets(I cant call them news) It seems like it's always a very bad game of "telephone/Chinese whispers" with these media people. They like to keep stirring the pot too. As soon as some stupid topic dyes down they just pass it around.

Looks like Peterhead is scared about the potential SPL2 forming if this doesn't go through. They would then be left out in the cold and have to look to the Highland league. These lower division teams will probably be getting more for their sponsorships since they play Rangers now and are on TV ever once in awhile. Who really thought anything about Peterhead before this season really. Without Rangers they revert back to irrelevance. Wonder how much that glass company in peterhead will be dishing out next season if Rangers are still on the schedule? These teams are only out for themselves and Rangers need to be too. Nothing mean but honest. The Tv rights are the most important and need to be the focus.

So just for S and G's , if the vote for reconstruction falls through and then the SPL invites 12 teams to make up an SPL 2. Next then , if Rangers declined to join (if they were asked)would the remaining teams (including Rangers) be free to set up their own league with their own TV contract. I might like to see the look on Doncaster's face then.

Magic number is down to 4. Personally I'd rather see it clinched at Hampden against Queen's Park. Especially if there were 40k in the stands. Though the way it's been going Rangers will back in to the title. Decided on the pitch is much better option.

Was looking the other day at attendances this year and realized that if Queen's Park could get at least 35K fans at this match it would put them ahead of St. Johnstone and all of the other lower division teams except Rangers. All this due to the two fixtures with Rangers. Really does make Scottish Football look bad.

Sadly, I can see this being done . It seems they all want to line up to kick Rangers but they still want the money. In most countries , if you get beat in face over and over and they take your money, they go to jail.

Fair enough. But with these players on the wages they are on yes I expect more goals, especially when they need them. QoS is doing about the same in the second division and I expect a little better than their results at this level.

I agree defense needs help for higher division but it really hasnt done that bad . Less than a goal a game. The team isnt scoring enough for this level. Biggest problem I see is midfield. No number 10 in the squad. MacLeod has done well other than that It's not good. Black really brings nothing to the team. The other mids are usually playing out of postion. Not really their fault.

I personally don't have problems with quotes. I have more issues with people starting threads for no real reason. sometimes 7 or 8 threads going at the same time with the same subjuct( please no more Aly has to go threads). Even kept me out the Bears den for awhile with my "condition".

IMO Black hasn't earned a pass into the first team. He can't pass. Every time he goes hard into a tackle it's an automatic yellow. His reputation makes him useless to the team. It's okay for him put a boot into a Rangers player but put him into the team and he's now a criminal. Gotta love Sottish Football.

Personally don't think the 12-12-18 will pass. the top tier doesnt want more than 12 teams as they feel it brings down the quality. In other words its saying " all you other fellas suk". If Rangers go in a bottom tier of 18, the other 17 wont be happy either as they will only get one visit by Rangers. Plus they feel screwed that the top tier says "18 teams is ok for you diddy teams that don't matter" "you're just leaches anyway".Some lower teams want the 12-12-10-10 so the third tier teams get two home ties with Rangers. Selfish in my opinion. Thats why it wont pass, just too much division and continuing to divide. Much like American politics. So when it doesn't pass then it will either stay the same or the SPL will form SPL 2 and invite who they want and kick the rest to the curb. This whole thing isn't really even reconstruction. It kinda like moving the furniture around in your TV room and no matter what more half still won't be able to see the frickin TV.

Boca was doing fine on the USMNT until Scottish football decided to play "kick Rangers when their down" If the US doesnt do well these next two matches, there will be knocking on the door for JK's place.

I think he only got 11 minutes on the pitch at Stoke. Not he's playing all the time again.

Beasley is doing quite well and Edu is doing better since he left Stoke.

Correct. Amazingly enough he was benched when a new coach took over. But they are still losing. Could be something to do with not scoring any goals. Hmmnnn..... sounds familiar

At first I thought he wouldnt make it this far but one thing you could always count on was his effort. If some of these healthier players would put their heart into it more like he did, this team would be doing much better.

More like the SPL is behind it and Raith is wanting the first invite. I have always thought they don't really want the bottom 18-20 teams.

It seems to me just another ploy to divide all the clubs so nothing gets done. That way the SPL will just invite who they want for their SPL 2 setup and just jettison the rest. Truly most of these teams need to be at the regional level.

Yes. It will just be so much better when it is officially clinched. Been a long season.

Magic number is now 8 points !!!!

The back line I agree with but Shiels may be done. Black hasn't shown enough this season except for his one goal(rather nice) McKay, MacLeod, Hutton, Aird in the middle and up top I would say Little and Templeton. Just my opinion.... Too many are still playing out of position.

To be fair , £83,370.13 is alot more than the gate money. What is the share for 2500 tickets sold ?
