The quarantine thing could happen to anyone. There's so many variables that cause an email to go to such a folder. That isn't the fault of the SPFL, unless you are now claiming that they should be designing their own email server and system now?

Perhaps they could have found it quicker, but in the end there was no wrong doing, unless you think you know better than the 3 legal experts who decreed as such?

Would disagree that it was handled and and in an amateur fashion. 

The accountability is that the SPFL board is voted on each year. Also the board can put forward a motion to punt Doncaster, but none so far have. Any club can ask the board to do this. Maybe you can ask your club to do so? 

The ICT groundshare thing was the SPL, a different organisation and different members. It was actually the right call to let them do it. The wrong call was to deny your team doing similar.

I'm no fan of Doncaster but he's just a figure head and replacing him won't make a difference. The voting structure is the thing that needs to be sorted to try and get meaningful changes through, but can't see that changing ever sadly. We had a chance and Aberdeen blew it.

 

You should be doing  a number of test runs before any important voting event especially when you are doing it in a way that you don't normally do.  Plus in this day and age is the best we can do scanning a voting slip as an email attachment? There's all sorts of software out there that you can use these days that is far more modern and reliable.  Typical of the spfl though to be years behind the times. I'm surprised they werent sending in carrier pigeons to be honest.  Its not the decision to promote ict that was thd issue its the fact they held a vote and then due to the backlash made up an excuse to hold another one.  Again instead of doing it properly  they rubbed particks noses in it back then too. Okay different name spl instead of spfl but same old incompetence that you just don't see in the epl.

As for doncaster why are we wasting a ridiculous amount of money on someone who as you have said is just a figurehead and keeps on telling us he just does what the clubs want? Its an admin post at most and should be recompensed accordingly.

If you sign Keena that's a very good signing for League one IMO.  I thought he'd be able to get a Championship club.

Not quite good enough for proudtobeabairn though he's still waiting on us announcing Messi.

Michael Doyle becomes the latest ex Falkirk and Morton player to join Queen’s Park.

What can we expect?

Will happily bolt up and down the right flank all day. Crossing can be a bit suspect. Scored a couple of cracking goals for us front outside the box. Outspoken big personality who you cant really fault for effort

He'll bomb up and down the wing for you all day long. But his crosses normally end up leaving the ball boys with a bit of running to do. He's also too eager to win the ball at every occassion so ends up having a few bombscare moments through pure stupidity.

Shite shirts & supposed good banter.

As a player he will run in a straight line until he either runs into someone or gets far enough up the park to cross the ball into the stand behind the goal.

Tries hard tho.

Through gritted teeth I have to say he will be an excellent signing.   Would like to have seen him back at East End. Powerful and direct. Still young as well, so lots of improvement in there.

Be the fittest player at the club but his personality and supposed banter makes him popular on social media.

Scored the odd spectacular goal but don't rely on him to provide width. Prone to the odd stupid challenge in the box too which cost us a few times last season. Cant fault him for effort though.

Honest question - outside Thistle, are any other teams in the league signing players just now ?

Dumbarton have signed about 3, 2 if you don't count Johnstone. The rest have signed the odd one or two.
