Clubs voted for it apparently. Strange

Fuck thats brutal.

Most clubs (over 90%) were for the change, as the team drawn against one of the Glasgow twins were getting a huge, lucky advantage, as they would always be televised. £82,500 made a massive difference to a lower league club, witness the £15,000 bribe the two Glasgow clubs have offered the wee sides to accept colts. It was the only advantage to these teams, and might have swayed them. But it hasn't.

The 90% of clubs wanted a fairer share of the overall sum. Two of the teams which were against changing the amount were, you've guessed it, 'Rangers' and Celtic.

I keep checking on this to see what gem of a free agent we've unearthed but none forthcoming even though other teams seem to be able to find the odd one here or there. I'll back the team to the hilt but a lot of misinformation coming from Tannadice. Briels a strong midfielder who can pass, fair enough the boy can tackle and run about but his passing was terrible from what I remember. It'll be a right good boost to have The Edge back and Scobbie but I worry about us going forward. Let's hope McMullan and King keep improving. Here's to us smashing Livi, QoS and St Mirren !!!!
 

 
Let's just hope we don't fall at the first hurdle.
