Messrs McGhee, Hughes, Brewster and Reid: come in, your time is up.

In The Motion, we’ll bring you a hot topic of discussion for you to get your teeth into. To get involved, simply read the motion below. Then, having calmed down sufficiently, leave your comment arguing for, or against the motion. There’s no prize, there’s no winner and there’s no right or wrong – just your opinion.

The Motion

Frankly, the directors of Motherwell, Falkirk, Inverness Caley and Hamilton have had enough of the poor performances that have seen their teams slump to the bottom of the table. Decisive action is needed before another season in the First division beckons and goodness only knows that there’s a recession on and every SPL penny could be another year in existence.

It’s time to take those resolutions seriously and ring in the new year with a new manager.

Scottish football doesn’t need a winter stop

In The Motion, we’ll bring you a hot topic of discussion for you to get your teeth into. To get involved, simply read the motion below. Then, having calmed down sufficiently, leave your comment arguing for, or against the motion. There’s no prize, there’s no winner and there’s no right or wrong – just your opinion.

The Motion

With the amount of games being called off in the last few weeks, there have been calls for a winter stop to be introduced in the Scottish game to avoid the fixture build-up and hordes of angry fans who have spent the best part of four hours getting to a game that has been cancelled. Every season it’s the same old story.

But what is really needed is not a winter stop, just better facilities at the grounds, together with better communication between the leagues, the clubs and the fans.

For the sake of the Scottish game, get rid of the Old Firm

In the first of a new weekly feature, The Motion, we’ll bring you a hot topic of discussion for you to get your teeth into. To get involved, simply read the motion below. Then, having calmed down sufficiently, leave your comment arguing for, or against the motion. There’s no prize, there’s no winner and there’s no right or wrong – just your opinion.

The Motion

The Old Firm have had their day. They make the league uncompetitive and their near total domination of Scottish football – both on and off the field – warrants an investigation by the Monopolies Commission. Frankly, the sooner they’re sent packing to the English Championship the better, so that fair competition is restored and Scottish football ceases to be a joke.
