    As a survivor of that trip, I can confidently tell you nobody was sent off. We'd actually beaten them on the previous trip (Jacksona pen) so hopes were fairly high beforehand. :-(

    If my memory serves me well it was a couple of seasons earlier we were still reasonably close to Rangers(IL) and Hunter got sent off for being fouled by Hateley.
    I'm blaming old age. Been convinced for years those happened in the same game.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Something has to give very soon, in terms of the hard decisions that need to be made about Homfc's future, even if that decision is about blindly staggering on through admin till Christmas then dying, and throwing the league into chaos.

    I think if Hearts do that, it'll make it very difficult for them to get back into Scottish football at any level.

    They should have liquidated weeks ago.

    I thought last week would be fireworks, but I'm looking forward to the week ahead.

    So what happens if they go kaput during the season and are unable to fulfil their fixtures. Apologies if it has been covered already.

    I believe Gretna got payments to keep them going until the end of the season, but Hertz would need more and I doubt the other teams would sanction it.

    Gretna had (comparatively) low costs (after sacking 22 players) and not that much of the season remained. They did not go into administration until March

    Of course in those days the SPL actually had a sponsor to provide the cash so that advances could be made to Gretna's administrators to keep them going until the end of the season.

    Without a sponsor at this stage, the SPFL would be well advised to take preemptive action to ensure that they do not face that situation again.

    Maybe Sidney will be able to zap them off the face of the earth with a spellchecker? I am sure it worked in Star Trek, or was that a Tazer?

    Further to previous answers: Strange as it may sound, they were also helped out financially by Rangers.

    In some ways, not having a sponsor might ease the pressure a bit.

    A sponsor will pay for x number of matches a season (can't do the arithmetic on a Sunday night ). If a club goes bust half-way through a season, that number is reduced. The sponsor would then have a case for asking for some of its money back.

    Surely a sponsor will pay for duration of season...from date to date,not games played?

    Yes, but the agreement will be on the basis of the advertisements and publicity for 228 (? Are there play-offs this season?) games in the season.

    If there are fewer games, their exposure will be reduced.

    It'll be on a par with 'ManBearPig's post of "I can't say what's happened, watch the news"
    Outcome : Salmond bought a season ticket.

    Scoop of the century.

    More likely to be that he has just seen the result of Albion Rovers and The Rangers.

    He apologised a bit later saying it was a pocket tweet, guessing he's deleted it now.

    (I'm guessing he got some info about something but then discovered it was a load of baws)

    It's like when your phone calls someone by mistake from your pocket.

    How you can pocket tweet "Wow!" though, is beyond me.
