  1. Excellent defensive work from the Hearts fans, I admire their support, ready to back the club on the Championship crusade...but just what if it doesn't happen straight away, another year in the wilderness awaits. What's the equivalent club in England I wonder ?
  2. Budgie says 'i didn't get rich by making friends, keeping people employed,wasting my own money,keeping promises or making false ones' Almost the female Mike Ashley, wonder who will be hated the most in the future ? That wealth of experience could see her in the Rangers selfish boardroom
  3. With the shambles almost complete now,and the SFA/SPFL trying to create a 'closed shop' where are any guarantees that future LL/HL champions will get a chance to progress ? Obvious to include the bigger,better senior clubs into the spfl asap, try to inject some life into the stagnant mediocrity of spfl2.
  4. As with the Restriction of Trade thing that Hearts are tossing around, if the spfl say 20/21 starts in October - surely no club can say we aren't gonna play ? Must be a refusal of something beyond my brainpower ! Don't think clubs want to play behind closed doors, that's all, lack of income a fair point. Will tell my boss tmrw of which days I want to work
  5. Think the geography of clubs means we'll always have this debate, unless a more Central League at HL/LL level is created, then someone is always gonna be upset. Maybe a creation of a new city the size of Glasgow needs to be done somewhere,a new powerhouse
  6. Strange Restrictions of Trade - let Hearts ply their trade and go on to lose every game they had to play. Tell the Judge 'the spfl have stopped us performing as a football club' think you already know the answer to that ! On towards another vote, what chaos this time ?
  7. Maybe there are a number of youth clubs folding - hopefully now players 18+ can see a way through to the 1st team and possibly earning some sort of living from the game. I see this as a pathway from the youth clubs upwards , youth clubs don't usually want to go any further than possibly U18, which is fair enough. Let's be negative and say it will all collapse, what an idiot.
  8. Bring in Kelty and Brora and go for a snivelling 8-12-12-12 so that the 'elite' don't have to mix with the underclass, then no relegation or promotion, of course you could buy your way into 'SPL Elite' or have a sugar daddy promise to save the world by giving cash handouts to the poor and needy.
  9. A really strong number of clubs now, impressive and positive. Will be even better when the clubs announce where they will be playing, does this have to be done/set in stone prior to the season starting ? Or can clubs switch grounds every home game - that would be annoying.
  10. Not wanting to belittle the virus, but it's interesting how much safer we demand the grounds to become pro covid19 - but prior to this,we couldn't really care a less, as said,non Lge grounds are basic and probably unhygienic - but we all turned up and ate the food, drank the beer etc. Confusing when you hear the MP's trying to lower the social distance (for economic reasons)
  11. Main argument against the Colts is - what happens IF they win the divisions, no way will you have them in the SPL - so give it a rest. European youth lge, various Scottish Cups and the Reserve Lge. How much more do you want ?
  12. With the reconstruction vote and possible court actions looming, could the SFA/SPFL actually suspend a club's membership until all is sorted ? or could a club be thrown out altogether ? Just wondering.
  13. Agree,we see the lack of interest with the Premier babies playing in the Caribou Cup. If the young bucks want to play in the league, get out on loan and grow up quick !
  14. Maybe we could apply to get the dictionary changed, as so many new words come into being. Replace Relegation with another word, any ideas ?
  15. Quite right, I turn the colour off on my TV in a bid to get a cheaper licence. Can't imagine watching Bilko or the Marx Bros in colour ! I know they think it's for everyone's benefit, imagine Reserve teams in the English Leagues, oh the uproar !
  16. Think the only cast-iron way to have stopped the ongoing saga was : end season,null and void,NO champions and NO relegation, end of. The constant snivelling and ass licking,just to avoid being relegated has been embarrassing. Simple answer, Hearts FC win the Championship with EVERY home game sold out, the big club returns blah blah
  17. That's it then,stuff the lot of em and bring back the progressive ambitious Juniors, that's what we really all want. No one really wants to join the crumbling pyramid and move forward, they were all bullied by the Mob Let's go back and pay 6s to get in, and watch everything in black & white.
  18. My best wishes to everyone who has lost a family member to covid19, hopefully it will soon be behind us. I'd be ok going back to a game, the mask and gloves compulsory ? Sure that a crowd of 4-500 has enough intelligence to stand apart and obey all the rules. Maybe we all need to be tested as insurance, let's hope the deaths decrease asap. All down to the clubs and players really.
  19. Just like the Irish FA, gives a starting point I guess, the training would possibly be the easier part of any return. We all await the day when cases and deaths are very low, and fans and players feel safe to attend.
  20. Gonna be an excellent set up with the youth up to 21's growing in strength of numbers. Very impressed with the development below the seniors, all good for the game. Hope they get a chance whenever next season starts,and the fans enjoy their Friday nights in good numbers.
  21. Brilliant how many clubs have joined the U20 set up, I expected maybe around 16 at most.However, biggest thank you goes to the many youth teams who have decided to link up with now senior clubs-well done to everyone involved.
  22. Naughty but nice, just when will their tiresome appeals finally end ? Hope the silly division splits, play-offs or whatever just doesn't happen, all very boring. How about doing a rugby union type thing, leaders are 20pts clear, then do a top 4 mini LGE only for the leaders to f**k up - hilarious.Imagine Liverpool doing this ? I'd laugh.
  23. Are there any meetings ahead, regarding the future of the North Juniors ? Would be excellent to see them below the Highland, give clubs something to aim for. Or are the majority of the North juniors happy to stay where they are, at that level.
  24. Now I don't know what to believe anymore ,I took it all as gospel truth (stupidly) when it was all announced. Think I'm going into meltdown, but it all seems that regarding the WOSFL and it's relevant tiers, the SFA just can't organise the proverbial piss up As said by other posts, New league,new rules.
  25. Be interesting to see what happens when the pub's re-open, if the distancing is still in place,whether teams would bother. Yeah players could turn up in their kit, how about those who don't drive ? The costs will be very important to every club, it's around £75 a game down in Bristol, once you start asking £5+ just to play, gets difficult. Hoping every club survives and that the players stick around,even if it's next year.
