Looks like those friends are on the SPFL board, pathetic really. Not true, from what I am hearing you have embellished the info you are getting from a certain person at a certain LL club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had the massive amount of power folk claim, why was there even a vote on calling the leagues and cancelling the playoffs last year? Why didn't he just demand it, since he apparently is so powerful and 'pulling the strings'? In fact, why didn't he just place Brechin in the Championship, given he had so much power? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 8 hours ago, theoriginalhedge said: This joke of a situation is a result of the clubs not being willing to agree to forming a contingency plan at the start of the season as suggested by the SPFL executive. This was pointed out by many on here at the time as the pandemic wasn't going to just suddenly disappear. Extremely good point. Not sure Brechin are really doing that much wrong here. Just looking out for themselves like everyone else does. You can’t deny being put forward as a league champion with only 3 games played (not even that for some) isn’t acting purely on self interest. There’s no way that qualifies as any kind of league season and in all honesty is a null and void situation. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champion of a league where some teams haven’t kicked a ball is farcical. If this happened in another country we’d all be laughing at it and calling it tinpot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish football entered the tinpot stage a good while ago. In fact, the "what's the most tinpot thing you've seen in Scottish football" thread is one of the best threads on P&B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayhole Blue Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 How will the premier clubs vote that through? Not sure I would vote for that if I was my club, as other teams didn’t vote for it last season to ‘save’ clubs from being relegated then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
