Steak Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I see the Daily Ranger is going with the headlines like; "WE CANNOT AFFORD SPORTING INTEGRITY" and "1ST DIVISION IS ENOUGH PUNSIHMENT ALREADY" WHY are they not pulling up Doncaster for his LIES? WHY are they not questioning the paltry TV deal with SKY? WHY are they not questioning why sponsors have clauses in their contracts that says they can pull out if there is not 4 old firm derbies a season? What an ABSOLUTE rag that is... pathetic excuse for journalism Because of Traynor. He is the worst of the lot. Remember when Farry died? Traynor insisted that he was hounded out in a witch hunt for being "too good at his job". Despite being found guilty by an independent panel. Something that Regan wants to be rid of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooper Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) It's also becoming abundantly clear that there was already movements afoot to bring intolerable pressure on SFL to let Rangers straight into the First Division. Infact for all we know Michael Johnstone abstained in opposition to this, not support for Newco into SPL. Until we know which SPL clubs knew what, when, there's no space for arrogance over what SPL clubs did, and why they did it. I include Hibs in that as much as any other. I agree with this, but do not believe for one moment that we will ever discover which clubs, if any, were colluding with this tawdry arrangement.

Karpaty Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 If its true that the amendment tabled by Clyde has been dismissed then the clubs have only one option left to them....don't vote Sevco into the league. The dismissal of the amendment would be the only way left for Longmuir, Regan and Doncaster to worm Sevco into SFL1. I can see where Clyde's vote is going then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Bloody hell. Firstly, a strongly-worded statement pulling few punches. Secondly, you doubt Broadwood's now on Regan 'n Doncaster's Christmas card lists... It's wonderful stuff. Clyde fans should feel very proud of whoever's putting these statements together. Whoever it is, he's running rings round the paid executives and national journalists. As others have said, my own club's silence is as suspicious as it is deafening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowCeltic.org Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 They will simply put Sevco into the SPL again. I think the 11 SPL clubs had a vote about that not so long ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I fear there are a number of SPL club supporters on here that may have to eat humble pie when their clubs vote Newco in to the SPL and sporting integrity goes out the window. If this happens it will be interesting to see; a) what changes are made to the voting system in the SPL b) how quickly the "agreement" made yesterday is kicked into the long grass c) how many days before the Daily Ranger hails the transformation of the SPL with its no relegation policy Stitch up away to happen and I don't see what will stop it.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Much as I applaud the sentiments, this was FAR, FAR too longwinded. Arbroath managed to say as much covering the coherent points in a more concise fashion. With the clock ticking down, those opposing the attempted SFA/SFL carve up have to keep it to the point so people will read (and understand their arguments), especially if it is reiterating points already made days earlier. A statement that loses the reader by the fifth oversized paragraph is as bad as no statement at all. Have some sympathy for your readers Clyde, you're not delivering academic papers. Sympathies? There's only going to be one way to drive these c***s out of the game, by showing them up for what simpletons they are. The three statements Clyde have put out have publicly embarrassed the governing bodies and those running it. Their silence speaks volumes, as you put it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat me to it. Threw us a carcass and asked us to fatten it up and give it back no more than a year later. Now it looks like we might stick the carcass as the bottom of the heap (or even in the bin) - wonder if they'll welcome their wounded brothers back with open arms?

Any club swithering over the decision must be uncertain whether the bribe is high enough.

Savage Henry Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 ...believing that Rangers would be in SFL1, lets see how much brass is actually in their balls. Am I the only one who thought the SPL Clubs voted with integrity, sans one, while everything that has played out since has been gerrymandered by panicking SFA/SFL/SPL officials? The SFL clubs will likely vote alike and Newco will be in the third, and reform will still happen and we won't all be killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'll put this post as two simple bullets, to see if this is the scenario anyone thinks will actually happen here... • SPL clubs only voted 'no to newco in SPL' because they were all in cahoots with Donkeymaster, Regan, and Longmuir to see Sevco in Div 1. • Plan looks like going tits-up. SPL clubs will therefore simply stick Sevco back in the SPL. Sorry, no matter what has happened since Feb 14 to astound and amuse me in equal measure - I'm not buying this! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
