    Bread Puns Here - Scottish Fitba 15/16

    Now that my eyes have stopped bleeding following that match in Dublin on Saturday we can finally nail down the coffin on season 14/15 and quietly give it a paupers funeral.

    2015/16 promises unicorns and rainbows though. The league has a sponsor although I doubt they're giving us money, probably a contra deal for players coupons.

    Rangers have a new management team. Two seasons as Brentford first team coach sounds like it might help, but his time as a city trader is clearly what attracted our cash strapped club to him, hopefully he knows his way around EBTs and South African tax law too.

    Clyde have closed their youth sides, that's what Scotland needs, fewer youth systems.

    Aberdeen have had to pay their manager more money, just in case Rangers might have wanted him. Made me laugh.

    Roll on the Challenge Cup, what a season lies in wait.

    AMMS, did you get to see that blog post about Rangers on the second-last page of the 2014/15 thread?

      My cousin and her daughter have started a speciality breads business in the SoCal area. They look to specialise in the expanding Kosher market.

      Bagels?

      No, just outside San Diego.

        The Wikipedia page on each of the league divisions "current seasons" has a nice wee map of the locations of the clubs. The Championship must be one of the most geographically compressed divisions in a long, long time. Only Queen of the South lie outside a narrow Central Belt corridor.

        The other three divisions are quite nicely stretched, with Stranraer to Peterhead in League One looking like the longest away trip.

        Fascinating stuff, huh?

          I didn't, should I have? Remember, only unicorns and rainbows for me now, none of your depressing shit. If it doesn't explain how Mark Warburton finds shoeless orphans in the slums of Mogadishu and Dumbarton and turns them into footballing machines carved in the likeness of Davie Weir then I'm not reading it. It's summer man, feel the mildness on your face, lift your head and breathe again, it's all going to be fine, just fine, probably.

          Shakleton, I feel your pain, I tried some geography trivia along these lines in the old thread and was pulled up just because I was wrong. When did that start mattering?

            Well, it's here if you want to send yourself into a slough of despond. It's actually a comment under a blog post, rather than the blog post itself.

              According to a popular song in East of Scotland grounds, you West Coasters have 'wan shoe' rather than none.

                  Weir and Warburton look more like bailiffs than managerial appointments.



                  Perhaps they are repossessing that scarf on behalf of a Mr M Ashley?

                      Another interesting aspect of the Wiki page is that Ibrox' capacity approaches that of the eight non-Hibs sides in the league put together.

                              Aha. Thanks. Never heard of it, so I feel less sheepish now.

                                  You'll be hoping he's not toast as quickly as McCall was AMMS.........Geddit....Toast.

                                  A bit of a surprise this one. I thought there would be a Championship club prepared to take a punt on him. He has managed a club for 78 games and he was left a more than decent squad at Brentford. He'll be starting from scratch at Ibrox.

                                        I'm sure Warburton thinks this could be a good roll for him.
