roman_bairn Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52242968 Well I never thought I would see these words..... I really hope the SPFL proposal fails, not so much as we do not go up (we don’t deserve to anyway), but more because of the alleged bullying and clear coercion in setting a 5pm deadline on the smaller clubs predicament.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the blackmailing clubs that the only way they can survive is to vote this through and get their cash it should never be coming to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs have consistently said they want a quick resolution to release the money, why is a 5pm today deadline not suitable? They've known about this proposal for long enough to make a decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've known about this proposal for long enough to make a decision.Because you really don’t need to finalise a decision on the league to do the right thing and release the prize money just now. We are in unique and dangerous waters. The SPFL should be looking after the smaller clubs, not trying to force their hands.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've known about this proposal for long enough to make a decision. This is far more likely to draw the whole thing out than actually end up in a quick solution. A no vote and clubs will continue to struggle and some may even go down the swanny. They should be concentrating on a way to get the money out to clubs without details on promotion and relegation putting walls up to that. If we can vote to end a season on a random weekend in march you cant tell me that we cant have a vote to release cash to clubs without some having to agree some kind of caveats not in their interests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And taking things further, say Montrose and Stranraer vote "No" and Airdrie, Forfar, East Fife, Peterhead, Clyde and Dumbarton voted "Yes", then maybe we don't boycott Montrose and Stranraer either. Is it a secret ballot or an open ballot, anybody know? Partick Thistle and Stranraer are definitely voting no - we have more to lose than Falkirk even if the yes vote goes through 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It essentially says "we'll vote for it if you put us up". We aren't an easy club to like if you look at it dispassionately. It's exactly what your fans have been saying throughout this whole thing, any talk of wanting clubs to hand together for the good of the Scottish game is absolutely horseshit, if you were in Raiths position you wouldn't be seen for dust. The Falkirk board, and fans are shiting it from another season down here, with Partick who would be able to surpass whatever budget they have, and with McCall would have a better manager. A second season down here, followed by a third if the playoffs don't go well would soon see all those pasts having a go at Raiths begging bowls look very, very foolish.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming your a level headed guy, and probably like the majority of Partick & Falkirk fans, we accept that this seasons football has fell well short of our expectations. However this appalling blackmail act for a yes vote should have no place in our Football. Agree completely and blackmail is exactly what it is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the casual observer the Falkirk/McKinnon saga was still funnier. I do agree, however, that McCall had a better team to start with that Ray, was closer to safety than McKinnon and has signed better players as well. Not only that but he's chasing an Alloa team beset with injuries and a Queen of the South team in freefall and still fucking it up.

Yes there’s no question mccall has been very disappointing this season but unlike mckinnon who hasn’t really impressed anywhere mccall completely rebuilt Ayr and has them challenging at top of championship and there are signs elsewhere (not least with Falkirk and Airdrieonians that he can be a very decent manager). he was also given a 3 year deal, given we had only recently finished paying off Archibald and are still paying off caldwell and kerr we certainly couldn’t afford to pay off mccall. however if we don’t get promoted from league one next season either by winning league or play off Place then he will rightly be sacked 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season's Championship, especially the bottom end, was dross but this year has managed to be worse We have tended to play better against better quality sides this season. Comfortably beat arbroath in the scottish and were very unlucky against hearts and would've got something from ayr in the league cup if it hadn't been for a shocking ref decision to send one of our boys off for feck all. It's the games against dross like clyde that has cost us unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start worrying about your own club, permanently in debt, high possibly you could be dragged into relegation play offs etc and yet another “ go and fund me page” Aw that's cute, absolutely wrong on every point, but cute.

Grangemouth Bairn Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If clubs are being ‘bullied’ there should be a policy in place to investigate these allegations and put a stop to it. Scottish football is a disgrace - clubs are being financially blackmailed- it’s despicable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Let's face it even if yes wins there will be a lot of legal issues being flung about before anything can be confirmed totally .I very much doubt hearts and rangers will just sit there and say aye ok then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
