Missing the point again sunshine, no one has denied the shady behaviour of the SPL clubs, including my own. This thread is about Neil Doncasters behaviour and his shite marketing of the game. Kincardine's argument was that no one on here should complain about it because club board members made a decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Being a complete arsehole and a sevco enthusiast is just a coincidence, apparently. Bonus point for using the word "Armageddon" in a non-ironic fashion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post had a few points, one was SPL 'bullying' the sfl for Rangers TV rights. Another point was that it's splf board who makes policy , not Doncaster and the fans predictable anger at Neily is misplaced. ie. If Aberdeen fans have a problem then contact your own club who helped make the decisions, rather than rant aboot Doncaster. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I doubt very much if the agreed policy of the SPFL board is "attendances went up last year because their crowds were looking forward to the OF" And we have at no point gone over the very valid reason for the SPL "taking over" the SFL namely, Stewart Gilmour wasn't getting to be in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst, as I've said many times, our own clubs have behaved reprehensibly, and it is lamentable that they are satisfied with the job Doncaster is doing, I very much doubt the message will be go and market old firm and nothing but the old firm and ignore the rest of us. I'm sure the message from the clubs is also not 'attendances have increased in the last year in anticipation of the return of the OF'. That quote and other gaffe's is what this thread is all about. If Kincardine's point was that should we all be upset that our clubs appointed and are happy with Neil Doncasters performance, then absolutely agreed, although that had already been mentioned several times on the thread before his outburst.

Ken Fitlike Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Was The_Kincardigan actually trying to blame the 'diddy' supporters for the shameful manoeuvres that the 'diddy' chairmen and owners tried to get away with - just to quickly gloss over that little local difficulty in 2012? Really? A new low, even taking into account his normal lunacy.... If the likes of Stewart Milne and ALL OTHER top league power brokers had got their disgraceful way, the currant Team/Club/Companies/Basket of Assets,Dressed In Blue Playing Out Of Ibrox Stadium would have started the 2012-13 season with a cosy 10 point penalty - and the bears would still have been squealing injustice. The Diddy Revolt beat any pathetic posturing protests and marches on Hampden / BBC by a factor of about a thousand. Please - Die Again You Arseholes. Give us a laugh with Version 3. On Topic - that Doncaster 'interview' was - even at this stage of the journey - the most boak inducing pile of nonsense offered during the entire clusterfuck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Oh dear, this is turning into another its all about the Rangers, how much everyone hates them and how much this hatred blinds them into not seeing the full picture which is all about what Rangers want and Rangers needs. Yawn The facts remain that there has been very little coverage and promotion around that our league season begins this weekend. I think for a long time football fans are really needing to find out how Neil Doncaster can justify his position. Maybe part of the problem is that there isn't enough being seen to be done and Doncaster when he is exposed to the media in trying to put a positive spin fails miserably some absolute clangers over the years and he has been in this job for a few years now with little sign of anyone credible challenging him. We could do with a more dynamic pro active Chief Exec a Craig Levein type right now, someone who knows football inside out and cuts through the crap and tells it as it is without any spin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Nothing like a good bandwagon to attack a poster simply because ' he supports sevco, so we have to disagree with him' You're right of course. It was nothing like a bandwagon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakedee Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 So,if I get this correct,it's the fault of the "diddy fans" that their club chairmen rolled over for whole spl/spfl fiasco, but it was the old Rangers board that was responsible for their club/companies demise.Consistency doesn't appear to be a trait for some posters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be so stupid. Kincardine's ludicrous arguments got attacked because they were ludicrous. Most posters on here don't like Doncaster and the job he's doing. Most posters recognise however that the clubs they support are to an extent responsible for the fact that he is in his position. For some reason, Kincardine wishes to portray this as a contradiction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Did our clubs give him his 20% wage rise after the armageddon punch line? I think it was but it was a while back. He is a clown but it gets worse... our clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that all?. Maybe there's a complete lack of talent available to the helm of Scottish football, who's fault is that? I would rather think about finding a solution than just moan about it and say nothing that is of any help. I would like to see our SPFL representatives engaging and speaking to the supporters once in a while it would be good grounding for both sides and I don't mean individual clubs conversing with their support and then passing that on to the board I mean an actual SPFL meeting with supporters. Besides that you would think that for such a title there would have been a wealth of applicants when the SPFL Chief Executive job came up for election, it does appear to be decent work with a lot of job satisfaction? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahemps Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Did anyone listen to Neil Doncaster on the price of football podcast? Any thoughts on how it came across? I applaud him for going on and answering questions but I was totally uninspired that there is any drive or ambition for any change in Scottish football any time soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
