Why do their thick fans still think the no Europe for 3 years is a punishment?

Aslong as the 3rd Division is their ONLY option of getting back into the Scottish leagues, anything above that should not be allowed by the clubs and fans.

Them getting into Division One next season would be every bit as bad as if they got voted into the SPL, what a load of bullshit but no surprising that it's something they are trying.

Nothing wrong with posting it for a 3rd time

Official DUFC Statement "Dundee United tonight met with Supporters' groups to discuss the newco situation prior to the all club vote on the proposal to transfer Rangers share on 4th July. Following what was a robust and constructive meeting, the Club's position on how we will vote was substantiated by the viewpoint of the various supporters groups. The meeting finished with all in agreement as to what the correct course of action would be. The Board of Directors of Dundee United are unequivocal in the belief that a form of sporting punishment must form part of the reasoning behind any decision made and, therefore, cannot vote the newco into the SPL. General sporting integrity and, more importantly, the integrity of Scottish football must also play a significant part in the decision making process. It is our belief that any form of sporting punishment must be unambiguous in the message it displays. The financial well being of the Club, both in the short and long term, must also be at the forefront of our thoughts. We would encourage our supporters to purchase season ticket books as a show of support to our Club. The Board of Directors will act in the best interest of Dundee United and our supporters and Scottish football on this matter. The financial consequences of not showing this support for our Club are extremely serious."

Only 5 clubs i can see maybe voting No Celtic, Aberdeen, United, Hibs and St Mirren and it would need all 5 to deny Newco. The rest most likely will vote Yes including certainties like Motherwell, Killie and St Johnstone

Spot on.

It better not be a Scottish Cup ban.

This, have never got my hopes up as i've always thought they come out of it smelling of roses. The only way i would change my mind was if a CVA was rejected, but i can't see that.

I'd rather they appealed as you just know they wont have the bottle to do anything worse than a pathetic Scottish Cup ban.

Rest of Scottish Football ,,!,, ,,!,, >>>>>>>>>> Rangers

Backlogged with posts i need to green dot, should make them unlimited for for this thread only

Green dot later.

This. 12 or 14 team with split and playoffs between top division and 1st division. Current setup is fine (cheating scvm apart), pros outweight the cons, could do with a playoff like i said for 11th place.

That would be nice. Nae chance though.

That's why it's what they will get, they will not get the punishment they deserve.

Spot on.

A Scottish Cup ban is nothing, not a fit punishment whatsoever.

All true. Sadly expected, which makes it tragic that we are stuck with this cancer ruining our game. Scottish Football will never ever flourish or improve if next season is "as you were" Terrible decision from the CoS today, too many buns in high places.

That goes without saying, empty stadiums at every ground they visit, it must be something that we all do and stick to it, every other club and attend in bigger numbers for other games instead, its a small sacrifice to miss 3/4 games a season. We must Unite against them and very much make them outcasts of the SPL (more so than they already are), word must be spread to fans who aren't familiar with these boards to boycott everything Rangers, ignore them, they will get fed up bigtime going to games all the time with no opposing fans and find when they do travel they haven't any opposing fans to sing their shyte to as we'll not be there (sounds unrealistic but the feeling is strong surely word could get round?) I wont even be watching any goals/highlights or anything of games involving them, including against Utd, they will basically be invisible to me and would urge everyone to follow suit, keep our own league table on here without them included.

I'd be surprised if that isnt the case tbh.
