No big speeches….no ill will…football is football. I’ll miss it desperately but happy and content with the job I did. Disappointed not to take it on but that’s life. I’ll be back involved at some point.
Thanks to all the players, coaches assistants and staff.

Football in the lower leagues cannot return viably until crowds are allowed in.
Clubs can have crowds at a social distance, with track and trace in place, using sanitising stations, social distancing measures and masks, crowds could return (safely).

Terrible to hear about Adam Strachan.
Adam was a genuinely nice boy and to the outside world he never had troubles to seek but I can tell you he was a great team mate and a top player. Cut you to the bone in a second but was all done in good spirit. Devestated for his family x

Off the fence time here.
I said at the start conferences were the way to go. Only fair. Clubs lobbied for a prem. They’ got it. Then bolted. Leaving the rest to take the flak.
That’s a fact anybody wants to dispute it, I can name names.
It’s not a cartel anymore.

Biggest fear is something happening to my boys. These deaths from drowning make me feel ill. Max at the beach as I type this but you can’t stop them going out. He just gets the fear of god put in him any time he’s going out!!! Don’t do this…don’t do that…feel for the families🙏🏻

Gone on to have an amazing career. Had some top players play for my teams over the years. He’s gone on to another stratosphere because of the type of character he is not just his ability.

Tonight I had to let a few boys go from my team they’ve been exceptional for me, it’s just time to move on. It’s the most horrible part of football.
It’s really difficult especially when you know them, like them and become emotionally attached.
Unfortunately it’s football.

Bang on……the irony is when they go down they won’t come back up!! They’ll have made it too hard for themselves but they’ll survive a bit longer because of this.
The actual pyramids were built quicker than this shambles.
We want automatic promotion but won’t grant it!!
Feart!
Disappointed especially when Tier 5 teams are screaming for automatic promotion to the SPFL. This self preservation is ruinimg our game and holding back the chance of a proper working pyramid. Turkeys don't vote for Christmss indeed.

As for the welfare of players. Everyone has the health of their players at heart. Everyone be it mental health or physical wellbeing.
It’s about money pure and simple and it always is. If there was fans, play would go on regardless. Never saw anyone pulling out of friendlies 🤷🏼♂️

I’m a simple man.
Play when you are told you can play, stop when you are told it’s not safe.
Do u miss it, yes, is it the end of the world, no.
Further to that. At no point did we ever feel we were ‘at risk’ however clearly there current is a greater risk to public health.

This is why football requires an independent regulator. Clubs cannot be trusted to look after the integrity of the game.
Make a proper reserve league and let teams who want to progress get on with it.
I’ve yet to see a positive comment on this.

The clubs in Scottish football are the ones holding it back. The SFA take a mauling however member clubs who run the leagues are a hypocritical shambles.
Without proper regulation and taking the clubs out of the voting equation the game will be stuck in stalemate.

Quite sure we could’ve had a whip round for the lowland league teams who needed the £3k.

We could’ve gave everyone £3k would be easier than trying to get into the league by playing football.
