Feel free to batter on with the ‘just push the transfer window back ‘ stuff and keep your head buried in the sand if it suits you better though. I look forward to the full assessment which the league has carried out for this option, including details of blockers and potential mitigation strategies. Hopefully it's not just: We cannae! How no? Just coz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Just a point to those suggesting the season can be extended. It won't be an issue for the big leagues given how few there are but what about loan players? You simply can't extend these. That was something that in his awful article even Gordon Smith admitted would be impossible to get around. We are not finishing this season. Just ain't ever ever ever going to happen. To suggest you'll be back in the pub in June is honestly ridiculous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Lots of pie in the Sky pish that’ll never happen, there’s more chance of us going to Spain on our summer holidays in June than there is of Peterhead v Raith Rovers taking place. Dundee will vote Yes/No if it’s No there will be another vote with a carrot for ICT or Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red23 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Clyde01 said: Integrity such as misleading other championship chairmen to gain an insight into how they were voting. Integrity such as asking for your vote not to be counted once it was revealed to be decisive. Impartiality such as using your questionably established position of power to negotiate friendlies or benefits directly for your own club. What a load of horse shit. Good post, only in Scotland (with Celtics backing) can a club not vote by a deadline and then use it as a bargaining chip to be sold off to the highest bidder. It's like being in the middle of proposing to your bird but then a more attractive one walks in and you say "can you, can you hang on a moment....?" I'd now be utterly delighted to see Dundee go to the wall. I never want to see their scummy club ever darken the top flight again.

No chance the top tier will allow 16 teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 9 minutes ago, Sergeant Wilson said: It's Thistle's lawyer's opinion, it's not a binding decision. being at the wrong end of 3 decisions that went against us, you just know that the SPFL will do what they do best and make the rules up as they go along and the legal challenge holds no water. I dare say it will be one of those things that will require an 11-1 vote. Reconstruction of the Premiership requires it and on SSB tonight on clyde 1 said there is no appetite for changing the set up of the top league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Also, for those proposing reconstruction, one very quick reminder: Any method which either removes an Old Firm fixture or causes another club in the league to lose out on a home match against the Old Firm (before the split) has absolutely no prospect of success. Clubs will not tolerate a reduction in revenue and with 11-1 still in effect will never be passed no matter what the rest of Scottish football thinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvz2000 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 My goodness you Raith fans are desperate to be awarded Tainted champions , must be hard having the possibility of getting promoted without deserving it to suddenly realise that’s not going to happen , so you think that the SPFL lying to clubs before the vote is acceptable, it’s now not contested that money could be released (loan ) anytime and NOT just when league is finished 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think is immaterial. You said the Thistle view was the deciding factor, it clearly isn't. The SPFL counsel might say the opposite. The outcome has still to be decided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
