When he signed his contract extension(to summer 2026)in December, the blurb says it includes a player/coach role in future seasons.

I think he will have to change shape or style as Lawless won’t be back until the new year at least. We haven’t been scoring as freely lately(Airdrie game aside). The other thing to take account of is that as part of Graham’s new deal that he got there was a coaching element, so maybe he won’t play so much.

If relegated teams are getting £1M from Eufa is there any need for the parachute payments?

What/Who are these solidarity payments for ?

What is it we are arguing about exactly ? I said it was a risk and Airdrie were happy with 4th.

He didn’t know how the Airdrie game was going to turn out.

Of course, the point I am making is that it was a big risk playing such a weakened team against Utd who were sure to be up for the game. It could easily have been 6 or more last night.

It looked offside on TV. Was surprised they didn’t mention it at the time.

It was awful. On another day we could have been looking at an even heavier defeat eating into the goal difference advantage we had. Just as well Airdrie were content with 4th place.

Dundee and Killie fans thought the same thing when they eventually won it.

How much does it cost to install. For most clubs it is installed for more than 19 games. Did the premiership clubs get a one off charge ?

No, I am trying to understand what we are actually paying for. Nobody seems to know. I have already said that I don’t think it is reasonable for the SPFL to charge for it without an additional allowance in the “off the top” cut of the playoff game to cover this additional cost.

He didn’t say £1.2M was installation costs. He said it was the annual cost.

So it costs the premiership clubs £1.2M per year for 228 games in a league season. That’s just over £5000 per game on average.But the championship club has to pay double ?

A five figure sum is a very wide band. Not significant is less than five figures ?

And one of the nominations for championship player of the year.

Irrespective of whether the clubs voted for it or not, asking them to pay for it for one game, without adjusting the off the top cut to cover costs of hosting the game is unreasonable.

The Premiership clubs were paying for it for more than one game and in most cases more than one season. Do you think that justifies asking another club that isn’t in the premiership to pay for it for what could and did turn out to be one game ?

What’s the justification for paying for VAR

Is he not asking about the justification for paying for VAR for 1 game.

Although I wouldn’t put it past them, surely the SPFL are not charging the championship club for the installation of VAR for one game. If we haven’t banked close to £50K for the playoffs, there’s something wrong.

I think when we played QP on the 2nd Jan, that was the 8th time in a year and a day - not quite all in the one season.

I think we must have made something from the playoffs last year. We had close to 20,000 people at Firhill over the 3 games

I am sure if you thought hard enough about it you would figure it out.

Presumably, you would still have to pay for a neutral venue.
