It was 4:40 pm apparently

As others have said there's a certain amount of mileage in being a contrarian in his line of work these days but I'm not wholly convinced that's the case with English, maybe a bit but it doesn't explain it all. His SPFL truther angle has been quite the plot twist. He seems to have gone all in on Ann Budge as his source but has been mugged off at every point by the rules and simple distinctions in language "Pah! Are you saying Ann Budge doesn't know the difference between loans and advances?". Apparently not Tom, apparently not. Where he's seen this as some sort of Watergate moment the reality is that there's no grand conspiracy it's simply a consequence of the fact that the SPFL is actually a pretty small scale administrative organisation - it apparently employs about 20 staff - and he seems raging about that.

Pretty, pretty pleased that we've low-key called the Rangers "dossier" trash tbh.

I'm very much in the bin the Rangers request camp because...f**k Rangers and their narrow scope shite. It's clear their agenda has f**k all to do with "the good of the game". However if clubs want to have some sort of independent review in terms of governance and how the SPFL is run once there's been some sort of normality restored then they can fill their boots. That needs to come from the clubs putting best practice as a priority rather than just bumbling along letting the SPFL board take the heat as they have done. If they want to pay for more staff and move away from the small time golf club mentality then crack on. The chat between Duncan McKay and @craigkillie on the Terrace yesterday was nail on head stuff. The absolute shitshow this has become has simply highlighted the faults that were already there - it's got f**k all to do with the vote on the resolution to conclude the season though.

100% LEEEEEGALLLLLLLL M9!!!

The whole video is a genuine work of art. It should be in the Louvre or something.

Do they have recordings of the alleged "bullying" or are we just taking the word of a collection of club reps collectively clutching their pearls in a group chat?

It honestly makes my day every time I see it.

So it's: Tom Hateley, Jake Taylor, Zak Jules, Craig Tanner vs Calum Elliot, John Sutton, Morgaro Gomis, Conor Sammon

This really can't be stressed enough.

It's only since all this kicked off that I've really had a much of dip into it but as @Mark Connolly and @Day of the Lords mentioned, the Rangers-y vibe is quite something. Some of the takes are straight off Rangers Media.

Kickback dictating policy there... https://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/topic/188663-expelled-not-relegated/

Fair play to this boy who's absolutely raging that (in his mind) we're apparently calling Rangers Covid-19...

I'm not sure we'd be knocking it back at this point tbh. There's every chance we would had come down to it but going by our chairman's statement we were quite open to the idea and were going to get some sort of a consensus from the club owners (ie: the fans) based on what was presented. The fact that it seems the "task force" didn't even get as far as presenting suggests we'd read the room pretty well in saying "a vote, if there is one". Ultimately I reckon we'd have landed on the "reconstruction isn't the priority at the moment" side of the fence but I'm not sure we'd have had a definite position one way or another as of yesterday.

I believe to date, the assailant remains at large.

Yaaaaassssss.... It's what the public want to see.

An OPEN LETTER you say?

Can I just take a moment to say @thisGRAEME's re-watch of the play-offs on The Terrace Patreon has been a thoroughly welcome addition to my listening today. Any excuse like...

We got an "undisclosed fee" for him. Going by the accounts our player registration gains for May 31st 2017 were £555,369. So that covers Johnson and Pearson leaving (if you accept we received hee haw for Law). He went back to India got paid a decent wedge, won the league and then came back in February.

Doncaster even cited it in his interview at the weekend.

Andrew Wilson tweeted earlier, so not an official statement but a dig from a director all the same.
