Highland Dogma Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 If regan doncaster ogilvie ands longmuir get their way what we rebrand of games as? Royal rumble? No holds barred? Clearly a no disqualification game would be appropriate! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araminta Moonbeam QC Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Can the clubs turn up and have a vote of no confidence and completely reject this nonsense? God knows if we'll even make it to a vote on Friday, there will be statements and shenanigans all week. I'd better get some more booze in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Can the clubs turn up and have a vote of no confidence and completely reject this nonsense? I'm pretty sure there's a few things they can do to avoid this nonsense. The question is do enough of them have the will. We've all been talking up Turnbull Hutton, I would like to think that he and one or two others will have the resolve to kick this into touch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 What's the situation then if both refuse to go up? It's not that crazy given the notice period and the fact they both have budgeted for league 1. Then there's no spaces going. However, it's clear this isn't going to happen, Yorkston's been falling-over himself to stake their claim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride Of The Clyde Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 What's the situation then if both refuse to go up? It's not that crazy given the notice period and the fact they both have budgeted for league 1. I guess they would just go down the league teams until until someone agrees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invalid Probe Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 This whole situation has become the film High Noon. Sheriff is faced with the return of a criminal who is out on a legal technicality. Wifey says, it's nothing to do with us, lets just move on. Criminal returns to town with three other gang members and calls sheriff out. Sheriff shoots down two of the gang and the wife helps with the other. And they both help to kill the villain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm so effin sick of this shit. It's beyond entertainment now, it's actually upsetting. I'm totally torn about next season for me. Was looking forward to celebrating my club's first ever season in the top flight. Something I have been looking forward to, since they joined the SFL Division 3 in 1994. Yes, my team joined the SFL in the correct manner and worked hard to play in the top league. However, the game is so obviously weighted and corrupt that I don't know if I want to be part of it. In all seriousness I really wish my team was back in the Highland league. My dream has been ruined by cheating b******s and cottupt suits. I blame Ralph Slater. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The novelty of dining from scraps at the top table soon wears off and you will realise that the Highland league was/is far better craic, I'm looking forward to having you lot in the SPl as it gives a bit of local rivalry to the competition which our seasons keeping one step ahead of you was lacking. The SPL will be a far better place with C*unt* in it from my perspective, even more so without the cheats there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieJimbo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Can't we just bombard dundee & dumfermline with e-mails asking them to refuse entry to the SPL, That's the best way to throw the whole thing back in the authorities faces. They would just give the option to Falkirk, then Hamilton and on and on until somebody accepted it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzie Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Can the clubs turn up and have a vote of no confidence and completely reject this nonsense? Apparently not! Just checked the rules. Once elected, a member of the board is a member of the board until; - their term expires - they get voted out at an AGM - they retire / resign - declared bankrupt (Financially I assume. What about morally?) - banned from holding a company directorship - they are pronounced unfit by a doctor - are pronounced insane by order of a court - are voted out in the interests of the game by the other board members. Still a few straws to clutch at mind... Edited July 7, 2012 by fozzie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drever Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hey folks, Complaints welcome re Jim Traynor. We don't pay our licenses for such abysmal sub standard (almost non-existant) journalism. Alex Thomson is embarrarring the BBC so let them know. Funny it's taken an 'outsider' to lead the way. Looks like the corruption runs deep. The welcome death of RFC is having a poultis effect, all the shite is coming to the surface and being exposed, Traynor included. https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/complaints/forms/?reset=#anchor And we don't need to look around us to understand fairness, our collective moral compass works well. If we did, well Italy would be just about the worst place to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prawnsandwich Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 interesting regarding fiorentina and shows other countries have similar problems. Leeds Utd were formed in 2007 but didn't have to start again in bottom league. I wonder what La Liga would do if debt ribben Barca or Real went bust? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 The more official statements that come out from the SFA, SPL, SFL the more annoying it gets. I at least have the comfort that this time next week it should be settled and the team formerly known as Rangers will be in the 3rd division and well can all move on or all they will be in the First Division and a lot of us will be done with Scottish Football. Either way i'd like some closure on the whole issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Dundee and Dunfermline refusing entry in to the SPL is not going to happen. The only hope is that over the next 3/4 days enough chairmen raise their voices against the proposals and create unrest. However i dont see that being sufficient enough to alter what is going to happen. The noise coming from the SFA, SPL and SFA boards is that the newco have to be in SFL1; if the SFL clubs vote yes to SFL1 then fantastic if not then tough thats where they are going. As i wrote many hundreds of pages ago if you going to screw 1 then you might as well screw them all. It doesnt matter that 80-90% of clubs want them in SFL3, 90% of the fans want them in SFL3 and even the newco fans and boss want them in SFL3, that is an inconvience that can be easily overlooked for the 'good' of the game ie finance. More than likely after all this is over Doncaster, Regan and the others who have fixed it will walk away with a large wedge of cash deluded into thinking they saved the game when in truth it will be broken beyond repair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
