Why bother?

I think you'll all be pleased to hear that I just can't muster the energy to rant about this again. It's all been said by me before, and now echoed all over the country.

Gretna Football Club have achieved two things this season:

1. To embarass Scottish football.
2. To ruin Motherwell's pitch and put the SPL miles behind in terms of postponements.

Congratulations, chaps. Give yourselves a pat on the back for me, eh?

It is a salutary lesson as to what happens when a nothing club becomes a millionare's plaything.

I'm sure both of Gretna's fans will be disappointed by recent events.

I really hope they can be kept in business until the end of the season though. Having them go out of business would cause more trouble for the SPL than it's worth.

Lets hope they make it to the end otherwise it will definitely not look good on the SPL.

However, come the end of the season - disband Gretna, along with the collapse of East Stirling after finishing bottom of the 3rd for a 5th season, leaves us with a league set-up of 40 teams -
- A top league of 12
- And two tiers of 14.

Problem solved, and the death of pointless 10-team leagues where finishing near-mid-table rewards a play-off place.
