Let's all have a chat!

It is pretty hard not to be cynical about Henry McLeish's "national conversation" shout out this week. Chick Young certainly is, though in my experience Chick Young's views carry even less weight than mine do.

But on the other hand, Scottish football is a complete and utter shambles. There are more things wrong with our national game than there are with Jacqui Smith's expenses. And while we, the supporters, sit around and moan about what's wrong, this is an opportunity to have our say, for what it is worth. It may well be (it probably will be) that our thoughts are ignored, the people at the top keep the status quo out of self-interest, and absolutely nowt comes from the whole thing.

But for once, let's be positive, eh?

I've already emailed in myself. My solutions are reducing ticket prices, increasing the size of the top division and allowing reserve teams into the lower leagues (on the proviso they couldn't get to the top tier).

Alternatively, we could invade the North of England and nick Newcastle, Sunderland and Carlisle. That'd work too. (Don't worry, I didn't include that in the email)

Anyway, how about it, folks? Let's all email our ideas to footballreview@scottishfa.co.uk so we can at least say that, when it all goes to hell, at least we tried.
