What's the most "Tin Pot" thing you've seen in the SPFL

Was it Stephen Glass that won the Mountain Bike for being named motm in the League cup final in 95? 

Already featured on page 5 of this thread.

I was at that game too, and McCann got a loser's medal that day as well.

Almost certainly the same bike. Probably a £60 Halfords effort that Coca Cola stuck a bit of advertising on.

Incidentally the fact that a company like Coca Cola sponsored the cup then shows how shite successive regimes at the SFA, SPL, SFL and SPFL have been at getting sponsors. They'd absolutely kill for a sponsor like Coke these days (as would the member clubs).

A few seasons ago we had a home match against Ross County abandoned as a power failure plunged the ground into darkness.

A few weeks later, the match was staged again.  We'd had a couple of home games since that had been fine, so the problem had clearly been sorted.  Of course, another power failure in the rearranged game yielded the same result.  

Ross County seemed annoyed.  No idea why.

We eventually had to play them in Stirling.

I went to both of those fucking matches.

Not SPFL, but during Berti Vogts reign as Scotland manager, he promised the fans "something special" before a game at Hampden. This transpired to be Barry Ferguson and one other running towards the West Stand before the game with a Scotland flag the size of a tea-towel. They half-heartedly waved it for five seconds before deciding it was shite and stopping.

There was something similar before that U16 World Cup final in 1989 against Saudi Arabia.  We were also promised something special we'd love by, I think, Craig Brown.

This amounted to the team holding up individual letters to spell out 'Thanks fans x'.

The Setanta deal and its collapse.
TV rights to China for chicken feed is a good thing.
'There must be a team called Rangers/four games a season.'
'There must be promotion and relegation.' The 2003/2004 fiasco.
The 10,000 seat rule.
Shit top-flight teams saved/not saved from relegation by stadium criteria. (See above)
SPL TV.
Colt teams proposal.
Armageddon.
