I didn't hope our local rivals would ask to hand the title to us myself, but here we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 What if this is all just a plot to keep us all entertained while no football is being played? It's working. Then at the end of it, it'll just be a fairly reasonable solution that obviously involves relegating Thistle and maybe pissing of the h*ns, cos... funny? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Does anyone have any fucking clue what the Dundee stance is after that statement? I think I'm actually less the wiser than before it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair when you got relegated you had played the full season. You can see the Hearts fans point, there were enough points left for Hearts still to be safe, so it was a different scenario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) This is the only proposal of reconstruction i'd favour, thinks it's a pretty good format with more teams in each league meaning less repetitiveness and also each season will have more changes of teams in each league. Only drawback is playing each other just 2 times a season and then a top/bottom half split works out at just 32 games a season instead of the current 36 (If my maths is correct). However the reduction of 4 games in a season could allow for a months winter break for all leagues in Scottish football and also ease congestion at the end of the season from rescheduled winter postponements. Also i'd trim the play offs back to just one game at each stage so the team trying to come up isn't shafted with as many games as the current format does. And yes i'm very bored hence why i took the time to make this. Edited April 15, 2020 by rb123! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying they are doing everything they can to try and muster enough support from other clubs to have your tinpot outfit kept in the Championship, unfortunately this is being laughed at, so they are also trying to get the other clubs to support in giving you extra financial help for when you do go doon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I checked you got to play a full slate of 38 league games, and the team immediately above you didn't get to play an extra game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in your view, stating what had been said and agreed between the three clubs after the fact is poorer form and less trustworthy than completely reneging on what was agreed and inviting better offers from the big boys and administrators (oops, sorry for using that term...)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Dundee’s statement yesterday said they would ‘look to give a much more substantial account of the past few days at the conclusion of this process.’ Today’s statement appears to at least attempt to give a more substantial account of the past few days. Does that suggest we are almost at the conclusion? Or is that just wishful thinking on my part? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was petty and knee jerk from both Thistles to run to the media with it. What offers from "big boys and administrators"? You been reading the Record? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 4 points from safety and had won just 1 game against bottom half sides in the whole season, headed into the split.

TBF its true, even if you look at them since sacking Levein they were standouts for relegation. I looked up the bottom half table for a relegation thread, and they'd collected 5 less points than anyone else in that time, and the next worse (Ross County) had two games in hand. Anyone who genuinely expected them to survive at this stage is at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
