stu2910 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Can we not call the bluff of this debacle and state that, with Hearts and Partick having been relegated, that they do not benefit from restructuring of the leagues? Hearts go down, Dundee Utd up and so the 2 teams below (ICT and Dundee) go up to make this ‘magical’ 14 team top league. Same applies to Partick - they go into the bottom of the pile. That’s only fair [emoji41] There is a precedent for that. When Rangers died, Dundee went up with Ross County and Dunfermline (I think) we’re still relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans wailed about it and said Rangers dying should have saved but O disagreed then and still do. We were absolutely shite and finished bottom and totally deserved to go down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t see Hearts and Dundee both in the Premiership next season unless it’s a 16 team league. The whole ‘point’ is to pacify the stupid boot who owns Hearts. Tell her to get too fùck quickish; this nonsense has gone on long enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farflung lichtie Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 There isn't really a solution which conquers divisions being small enough for everyone to be playing for something most of the season but large enough to eliminate seeing the same opponents 4 times a season without dropping the number of games played hugelyDisagree.1. It is rather boring and repetitive to play only 9 other teams AT LEAST four times a year... and there are plenty of cases where this can be more due to cupties and playoffs.2. How you define playoffs is more critical to keeping something at stake to the end of the season . 3. Linked with defining eligibility for playoffs, larger leagues mean you can consider two teams for automatic promotion/relegation and even additional playoff spots.4. Number of games - you can adjust this easily. In leagues of 14, we’ve had playing each other 3 times per season not so long ago - ie 39 league games per season. Or you can introduce some kind of split.I’d be keen on divisions with a minimum of 14 teams (maybe more) just to reintroduce a little more variety. All the other concerns are easily addressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It’s a little boring playing some random team you don’t care about. But I wouldn’t like to only have 2 derby games next year. Were you bored of playing Montrose? To an extent I think playing regularly can spice things up as grudges and tensions can build. I kinda like the ‘lets get one over on these b*****ds who got a dodgy penalty/moaned all game/dived all the time/kicked anything that moved...’ I know that can happen in bigger leagues but the shorter time between games can keep things going better. I’m more interested in our games vs Ayr for example due to the way things have developed over the past few seasons which I’m not sure would have occurred with 2x playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it before, we deserved to be relegated on our form, just a shame it wasn't dealt with correctly, but in the circumstances as fair as it could be.

Rudolph Hucker Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Thank gawd for that. The existing setup is as good as, or better than, anything that's been mooted. 'Bye, Partick! Too bad, Failkirk! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily see them having an car crash of a season ala Rangers in their first season in the league or romping it even better than the last time they were down as they forge a siege mentality. There will be no middle ground. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
