  1. Fit Tubs says. I wrote an article (or rant, more apt) on dons mad saying that if we could have a serious look at our revenue sharing, TV agreements (SPL TV) and move to a 16 team league then I couldnae give a f*ck fit happened to the huns (this was at the time when they were just going to be shoe-horned back into the top flight). To me, 16 teams is progressive and we can easily accommodate it (adding any four of Hertz, Hibs, Huns, Falkirk, QOTS, Raith; even Dunfermline, Livi) and would give us a solid base of good teams. One of the key things for me at the time was the horrendous blackmail we were subjected to as SPL clubs - via Doncaster - warned of the terrible loss of revenue if the hun were not invited straight back into the league. With nothing changed since their departure, we're inviting that blackmail once again. If der scum win the play-offs, then we're back to Killie etc budgeting for them remaining and the crowds that brings. I suggested at the time of their demise that the only way that we can ensure that this situation didn't happen again would be to move to a 16 team league and have us only "relying" on the single visit of Tim/Hun per season. Otherwise, it's a case of sitting back and waiting to see how long it takes for the hun to re-establish themselves in helicopter sunday "excitement". Personally, I'd go further and remove the cash prizes for league placings and split evenly across the division, as well as taking a large percentage of euro prize funds (not gate receipts) back into the league. Last season, I think it was over 70% of the cash coming into our game went to one team. That's not sport.

  4. Surely the only input to the fixtures that the TV companies would have is look at the draft list and decide which games they'd like to televise and thus move to Sunday (or Friday or Monday etc.)? I'd like to think that they have no sway in organising the fairest distribution of fixtures in our league.

    That wisnae a nice response. Anyway, the goals of war-mongering and scientific understanding are complete opposites, but the funding of Trident is far more likely to be diverted from food provision than those allocated to CERN. Additionally, scientific understanding is exactly the way we should be spending our money. These human goals are precisely what we need to actually progress as a race. Food provision is merely a supply chain issue. We have the technology already to feed the entire planet (and more) we simply choose not to. Indeed, capitalism cannot solve the problem of food shortages as it's built in requirement of profit (and perpetual growth) ensures that someone will always not be able to afford to feed themselves. By suggesting we divert funds to feed the poor, you're effectively providing the QE of food provision. You're capitalism's bailout, socialising the risks of profit at all costs. Probably.
