gav-ffc Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Indeed, compo is what we are after . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_bairn Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I had heard Duffie was leaving at the end of the season a few months a go. He's been at the club since the age of 13 and wants a new challenge. Definitely for compo reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_bairn Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If no one is prepared to pay the compo though, we may see them sign on for another year. We would be due a decent amount on all three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been at the club since the age of 13 and wants a new challenge. Definitely for compo reasons. I said in last match thread, Duffie needs to get away for his own good as a player, he has become stale I hope thats the case....for his sake..... I dont think any championships teams would take a punt on him as per his form this season....an I mean Scottish. The compo thing is a good thing to protect similar clubs in the uk, the main loophole is going out of the country, cant remember the Dundee Utd player who went to Poland. I do recall Martyn Cardigan going to Iceland, only to return 6 months later to Motherwell. I can see Fulton signing on again, no one in their right mind would pay the money banded about for his services..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened with Fauod Bachirou as well this season. PS. Martyn "Cardigan" is a tremendous iPhone auto-correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Did it? I thought Bachirou tried to get a gig elsewhere and had to crawl back when none emerged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall an SPL side wanted him but weren't prepared to part with cash for him. I may be wrong though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I recall an SPL side wanted him but weren't prepared to part with cash for him.

Newbornbairn Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Plastic pitches could bar clubs from entering the top flight, says SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/plastic-pitches-could-bar-clubs-3037648 Is this a real threat or is it just the Retard (Daily) and the Retard (Cockwomble) talking shite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 He probably got asked a direct question about the rules and gave the correct answer. My first thought was it would be unbelievable if they voted no, but you can never be too cynical about Scottish Football. I wouldn't put it past them to do it just to keep Hearts up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Cutting out the shite written around it by perennial shite-talker Mark Guidi, here's the quotes from Neil Doncaster. There is a process by which any synthetic pitch can receive approval from the board, and any club with a synthetic pitch is aware of what that process is. Ahead of next season any club who has a synthetic pitch and wants it to be available for use within the Premier League has to go through an application by March 31. In principle the laws of the game make no distinction between synthetic and grass, but our rules dictate that any club wishing to use a synthetic surface has to go through an application procedure. Fifa 2-star is the standard, but the board can impose certain conditions in terms of how that pitch is looked after. I believe they are all Fifa 2-star. He has basically quoted the rule, and there is absolutely no suggestion from him that having a plastic pitch would preclude any club from promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk-Bairn22 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'm sure we'd already asked whether the pitch would be suitable and were given the go ahead. Just pointless journalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffctom Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The Daily Rangers strikes again. Strange they haven't been touting any of our good youngsters for The Rangers FC yet. This used to be an annual tradition for the rag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I wouldn't be so sure about this folks. Who exactly sit on the committee that will be voting? The self preservationists will certainly want to keep us out if it means any of them staying up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
