trainspotter Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I wonder if this means that the investors will walk away. They're jokers anyways. Livi would probably be better dead than with then anyways, since they'd only be prolonging the agony of the supporters. Is it an outside possibility that Longmuir and the LMC have played a blinder here? Playing along with the potential rule change in order to help get rid of Massone, and then calling the bluff of McDougall and Rankine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 No, I wanted a Livi points deduction Chances are they will go bust then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 3rd Division forum for this pish. Better give it a couple of weeks till the inevitable appeal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the Optimist Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 So will the three amigos appeal, or will they walk. If they do appeal(Do they have a right of appeal?) I think this is the beginning of the real end for the club. I wonder if certain gloaters who were prevalant last week will still be gloating now. I'm away to shed some tears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Of course we will just have to await the appeal now. Given the league starts on Saturday it does not give them much time, though. Will the owners stick with Livi or will they melt away into the night? If they do stay and Livi keep hold of the players they have, there is a good chance of promotion. Every cloud and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'd be delighted if I was an Airdrie United fan at this point. Not often that teams will get a second bite at the cherry like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Livingston and Airdrie in the shit. That's what you call a win/win. Seriously, sorry for the Livvy fans but that is justice done in my eyes. Hope they can continue somehow but I can't see it. Removed my smiley. Felt bad.

The Master Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Actually, what will happen with an appeal? Only the courts can stop the season from starting...and as I've already pointed out, Livi would fail in that respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, because getting raped every week in a division the club patently isn't able to compete in is a mouthwatering prospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Well, well, well. This'll cause a bit of disruption if Livi make it to the weekend - I presume that Airdrie will take over Livi's 1st division fixtures, Cowdenbeath will take over Airdrie's fixtures and Livi will take over Cowden's fixture schedule? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannockburn Par Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 HA! HA! R.I.P Livi. The Correct punishment has been given. Welcome back Airdrie!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 There was no club called Airdrie Utd at the time Ballantyne bought Clydebank or at any time before then (only a proposal to create one). My question regarding league membership was simply a device to highlight this fact.Jim Ballantyne bought Clydebank FC, changed the club name, strip and moved them to Airdrie. League membership stayed with the company and club which Ballantyne bought. These actions were allowed within the terms of the SFL's rules. Irrespective of the moral rights or wrongs of those actions, those are also the facts. There was no transfer of league membership from one club or company to another. That is also a fact. Your assertion, that the SFL has already allowed this rule to be broken in the case of Airdrie Utd, is not supported by the facts. Stuart Well thats not actually a fact because it depends on how you define a club. But anyway none of this matters now. Congratulations on your 'promotion' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Rankine and McDougall will have to come up with an alternative business plan. I wonder what that will be like: 1. Stick with the club and cut your cloth accordingly, or 2. Bail out and let Livi die. Naturally, there will be an appeal but I cannot see any other options for the club and their two shining knights in white armour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
