Frank conner Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 By not allowing teams to play all the remaining fixtures in which case the league positions would probably change , not allowing teams to fight for survival by relegating them . It's not the Rovers who are going to make the decision it's up to the SPFL to put it to a vote the Rovers aren't cheating anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It's as if some fans of others clubs think we came up with idea ourselves and are in charge of Scottish football.I have my doubts about whether or not it'll go ahead but if it does the reactions from some are going to be priceless.For me I couldn't care less how we go up. To call it embarrassing clearly didn't see us lose at Albion, Brechin, Stranraer, Peterhead, Cove etc. Had enough of this league and if this gets us out of it I'll take it ever day of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I just can't believe the two faced nonsense some folk come out with every Falkirk, Airdrie fan etc would do the exact same if they were in our position. To try and claim the morale high by saying differently is just bullshit football has been unfair for decades teams going into administration some twice and getting away with it more or less scot free leagues being reconstructed to save a particular club from relegation. Football can be unfair at times and if the Rovers ever got done over no one would give a shit so why should we care if we get the rub off the green for once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 My view is that whatever option allows celtic, dundee utd and cove to win their leagues and be promoted where possible is the one that should be taken. If that means raith are beneficiaries then so be it.Also find it funny when teams like partick moan about being relegated when they have been pish all season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Would have no qualms about accepting promotion and a tainted league title if that's what had to happen and couldn't give a f**k less what any other team think about it. In fact I'd welcome opposition fans wading in here to give us abuse as we post gif after gif and meme after meme lording it up. What would make it even more satisfying is if this all happened and we went on to have a decent season in the Championship. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we manage to keep most of the side as it is I reckon we're two or three good signings from a good season in the Championship. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Happy to cheat! We all no the reason you dont want the Rovers going up because you lose your cash cow and that only means one thing cost cutting for East Fife. Personally i would love the league to continue and ram those cheat words down your throat Not much chance of any club being top when you end the season with games to play , Happy to CHEAT ? WOW .

basher brash Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Every team has a vote . But if the result didnt go your way its cheating By not allowing teams to play all the remaining fixtures in which case the league positions would probably change , not allowing teams to fight for survival by relegating them . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is there a vote ? You're right why vote the SPFL guidelines say they dont need to vote. Season starts on day 1 and finishes with the last fixture or when its declared by the board due to other circumstances. Nevermind it appears that your club voted yes anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
