Scottish Football League in GeneralNewest Review: ... no one will text 1p because it is too obvious. The radio station, of course, gives you bum steers all day to pep up the voting rates. It’s cute and fair, a real test of skill and chance combined. The way it should be. But most of these premium line votes and competitions have come under severe critic this year, even Blue Peter admitting to fixing one that saw the little kids out of pocket. ... more |

What s the capital of England? Is it… A: Germany B: A banana C: London D: An ironing board The recent premium phone line scandal revelations have been brewing for a long time. I always thought that the people who rang up those competitions and vote lines were a bit thick anyway and the huge profits from the numbers would suggest they probably deserved it. It’s pretty clear that if the answer options to the questions are really easy a lot of people will ring in and so you have no chance of winning. The fact that lots of people have indeed rung in must be the reason why the questions have got easier and easier. The revenue ... Read the complete review

Set aside, purposefully for the youngest of viewers, Rediffusion (who later were bought out by Thames Television) produced the first moving pictures of an early Monty Python team plus a couple of others. Shot wholly in black and white, ‘Do Not Adjust Your Set,’ was designed to warm towards children, despite the unchildlike title. Appearing along side the hap hazard antics of Eric Idle, Michael Palin and Terry Jones, a very timid and almost squeaky clean to the grit of TV life, was a totally unknown David Jason. Another young, unfamiliar face to TV yet known from theatre was girlie and naturally funny Denise Coffey. Completing the team with a long haired, motley crew ... Read the complete review

The fourth league game of the season in the SPL arrives tomorrow. 6 more matches occur that will give even more away about how this season may turn out. Aberdeen vs Motherwell This should be an interesting game as both teams are amongst the favourites to drop into Divison 1. Aberdeen have no points or even any goals and will really need to start picking up the pace sooner rather than later. Motherwell have not exactly made the best start, but have 2 points and have scored 4 goals. Although Motherwell are away from home, I will predict that they will go away with three points. Livingston vs Celtic Livingston have had a bright start to this season ... Read the complete review

The Scottish League has started again. New debates start, should the old squirm go to England and take their bigots south of the border, or make do with the Scottish League, a foregone conclusion every year. Last year saw a stiff challenge from Hibernian on what really was a terrific season for them. This year has Dunfremilne comming on strong, but we know how weak they really are and will be pushed down the table. Livingston join the league and started well, holding rangers to a goaless draw at Ibrox was an acheivment, and beating hearts as well. The point I come too is that I am bored with the league in Scotland. In England you ask ... Read the complete review
