Very very Rangersy. Can’t get behind it

Probably won’t happen, but a 2nd tier 14 team league would be great fun

Were you around when the liquidators were moving in? BtB thought they had "leverage" back then
They're a business, just like any other &, unless you own shares, you're just a customer.
They've not fulfilled their side of the contract (18 games) & have made no mention on how they intend addressing the situation.
Ultimately, it might come down to a section 75 claim (Consumer Credit Act 1974).Ahhhhh, that’s the old kiddy I remember

Grassing folk up to the Sun, that is low. What a bunch of wet wipes you lot are.
Not sure what I’d rather do, write an email to a newspaper, or support a man who raped a woman.

In another season, absolutely.
In a season where a worldwide pandemic shuts down the planet, and forces all sport to stop for at least 5 months, and the season only has 3 months to go?
Every single club, including your own, vote for what's best for them in every single vote like this. Always have, and frankly it's a competitive sport so they always will. The only reason Falkirk are opposing it is because they dont benefit.
If you were 1pt clear at the top of the Championship, and this got you promoted, would you expect your club to vote no because Forfar were only 1pt behind Arbroath at the top of League One?
You know they wouldnt oppose it, so all this talk about boycotts etc., is just proper toys out the pram stuff entirely because your club has been too poor to take advantage of the situation.
If you want toys out the pram, you should look elsewhere - this statement from Raith, for example; “Our position is clear: We want the 2019-20 season declared over, funds distributed and discussion about reconstruction to start very soon.
Any attempt to deem the 2019/20 season null and void and deny us being named as winners of League 1 and/or not promoted will be vigorously resisted”.Now that is toys out the pram. Falkirk have been nothing but practical and pragmatic about this vote, given the horrendous situation this illness has brought about. To vehemently claim to be champions with that statement is very embarrasing and desperate and would really worry me as a Raith fan. They were absolutely correct to vote yes, as we would have done if we’d been top by a point. All talk of boycotts is nonsense. But can’t help but feel the point and laugh at Falkirk is extremely misguided given what’s going to happen to some clubs in the coming year or 2.

I have seen Falkirk four times this season - three times against us and once against Airdrie. You were honking and turned in arguably among the worst performances that I have seen at Broadwood this season. A potential nine points squandered by three woeful appearances. Things would be looking very different had you not let diddy teams beat you. Had you managed to take even a point from us, my suspicion is that the Falkirk fans would be having a good gloat at the expense of Raith Rovers.
Raith Rovers on the other hand are probably the best team that I have seen and fair play to them. That said, the league table does not lie. It just baffles me that such a woeful side that I have seen four times this season is in the position that you are.
The whole thing is about self-preservation, and this has characterised Scottish football for a very long time. I think that all clubs are looking out for themselves, including those not in the promotion or relegation mix. A club of clubs are desperate for the pay out that they so desperately needed to survive.
"Listen", the comedy show that was Ray McKinnon has brought this upon Falkirk. This is not a good outcome for many, and it is very easy to make a straw man of the SPFL. But the BoD at Falkirk should not underestimate their contribution to the mess that FFC find themselves in.
Talk about a serious lack of humility. Take a look at yourself.

When has a promoted team ever went up and not signed a single player?
Even a spine of that squad, as would ours. Who knows what things will look like mind you in months/next year, it’s an unprecedented time for player contracts

It is all ifs buts and maybes, but I struggle to feel sympathy for ourselves after we’ve played airdrie, Clyde and Raith 9 or 10 times and won zero games. We’ve been shafted a bit by Doncaster but I would feel a bit grubby if the shower of imposters that make up 8 or 9 of our 11 went up (do feel sorry for Dec though, what a boy). If Raith compete in the champ with that same squad they’re going straight back doon anyway but aye, little sympathy for us here.

Considering how shafted we are getting by this whole sorry episode, must say the Falkirk fans have been exemplary in their behaviour in accepting it, unlike the Partick and Rangers fans.

So the clubs (legally) have 28 days to vote. Does that not mean releasing the voting intentions so far is illegal? Hugely biased and done in an attempt to sway votes?
Thats a question, I’m not an expert.

This is once again an absolutely embarrassing organisational farce.
There lies no blame with any club. Every single club is voting in self interest, obviously. We (Falkirk) are doing the same and us (fans) would be championing this recommendation if we were top by a point.
But how it ever got to this point is mind boggling. Hilarious lack of leadership from the SPFL, the whole lot should be sacked for this sorry mess. Good people at clubs will lose their job because of this. Grow some balls and stop trying to appease the bigot bros and pass the buck. I’m absolutely fuming, even though Falkirk looks like getting the outcome it wanted

It's probably because the league was suspended in fucking March and so was practically done already.
You lost any credibility with that line fella. To suggest a league season is almost done with 1 point between 2 teams and 6 points between 4 teams and 8 games left is genuinely hilarious. I know you hate Falkirk for some reason (don’t know why, McKinnon is gone), but take a look at what you’ve just said.
Don’t really mind what happens as Falkirk will lose out either way really (there’s no chance a top 2 from each league will go up, I don’t think that’s fair either) - null and void and just 1 up from each league would mean we lost out.
Considering Covid will definitely come back and be around in some form for a while yet until a vaccine is found, starting another season by randomly finishing this season with only 8 games left is utterly mental to me. Finish this season when possible, hand out prize money (or a decent portion of it) to clubs who need it early to get by, then the rest when season complete.

Yes. I walk past it to every game and the slope from Left to Right (in the picture) is pronounced. When it rains there's a huge puddle covers the right hand side of the pitch for almost it's entire length, but biggest at the far right hand corner.
Fortunately we live in a dry, warm climate.

I was not that impressed with Loy the first time round Any decent striker would have bagged a similar goal tally+ he was useless in the Air and didn’t have a great work rate. The second time around I was praying the deal would not happen. He was done and Houston should have known that .Oooo, been a little while since we’ve had a properly terrible opinion on here, fair play

Housty was a proper fucking man and manager btw. Goosebumps here

It maybe was a few weeks ago. It isnt now.
I think anyone going on tv to argue the toss over a title at this point is an idiot.
Have the argument later for sure, but right now, it's silly.What? This is a football forum not a tv channel. If a few idiots outside a pub want to moan and rant about their club not lifting the title that’s their business. But having reasonable discussion and sticking up for ourselves so we don’t get shafted (would you seriously bet against that?) is absolutely fine. Hell, it your mental health allows you to think only about corona and death for months and months then fair play to you. I’m not that lucky, as most others probably aren’t

Kind of have to agree with Champions here. This virus is terrible. It will kill people. Anyone taking it lightly and still going to pubs etc for the last week or so is a moron.
However this IS a football forum. Society will get back to something resembling normality, maybe not for a little or decent while, but it will get back. To just say stop having reasonable discussion on a crucial part of our lives because of this terrible thing that’s going on feels extremely high horsey

Clubs could easily play 5 games over a 2 week period if required -
Saturday 1
Monday 1
Thursday 1
Sunday 2
Wednesday 2
Saturday 3 (repeat previous pattern)
You can then do he playoffs in 9 days - Saturday 1 to Sunday 2.
Not perfect but if the remaining league games need completed quickly then its the simplest solution.
Even better than that, let’s make them play all the games on one day. Be like an u9 footy tournament. Great idea mate.

Misread that and thought it was Lee Miller, I’m blaming the self isolation whisky. This sounds absolutely likely considering it’s Lex.Jesus so did I. What a wanky thing to do. Shouldn’t be anywhere near our club

He’d be getting the bullet anyway, he’s awful.
He may well be awful, but he’s given nothing but 100% since he’s been at the club and his attitude is exemplary. Doesn’t mean he should be at the club, but flippant remarks about him losing his job is poor

Just continue the league tables next season and have a fuckin mega season where we've all played 56 games.
First time I’ve heard that one, and what a beauty of an idea it is. Would be just excellent banter all round. All in

Agreed. The point I was attempting to make though is that even if everyone plays a few more games and Falkirk are top when it is stopped, there is still an argument to give the title to Raith as we were top at the last point where all teams had played each other an equal amount of times.
It would be a proper headache to sort out though, and no clear right and wrong way to do it.Hmmm, seems very arbitrary to me. For example you’ve played 2 home games v us, so we could keep going back to the second quarter or first quarter to make it “fairer”.
It should be an attempt to finish the league and whoever is top at the end of that goes up, or no one goes up from any league and it’s a write off of a season (unlikely)

Haha, that’s unreal irony. Talking about how statements have driven a wedge between and divided fans, and starting your post with “completely disagree”. Another statement that’ll do literally nothing but align us with Rangers and divide our own fans. Well done Gary.
