Fully agree, however your man above there is complaining about clubs who likewise haven't been in financial bother in a few years, what's the cut off? Dunfermline have posted profits most years AFAIK, the Motherwell admin must be approaching 20 years ago aswell! 

Too early to judge with M and M with regards to them being so good they're getting quoted for higher jobs, have they beaten another full time side with Falkirk yet? Alan Johnston blew away this division twice and well, he's just not very good. 

Fecks sake Motherwell were in admin for about a year released a pile of players and then carried on without any penalty whatsoever. That was Scottish football to a tee.  If you don't pay your dues you should always be seen as cheats especially when absolutely no effort has been made since to pay those dues back.  Would it not have been nice if the 0p in the pound brigade  began to pay off the debt left behind  once the clubs had been saved? No it was simply a case of feck them we don't have to bother so why should we.  All these teams achieved a competitive advantage to the detriment of others by spending money they didn't have and that cash has never been paid back.  The penalties were far too weak at the time which is why we saw clubs doing it not just once but on more than one occasion and carrying on as if he's haw happened. Meanwhile clubs like us are still held back by  the effects of paying back all that cash twenty odd years ago.

Or clubs that put huge resources in to a team to win the league and ignored the obvious stadium issues in the hope that the rules would be changed to accommodate them.

Was a competitive advantage gained by anyone in those circumstances...let me think?

Not this old tripe again😂😂 . If we'd pumped enough money into our team to build a new stadium we would've been winning the premier League not struggling to get out the championship/division 1 at the time.😂😂😂

Did it gain competitive advantage?

Just checking.

Have Falkirk ever thought of changing the name to St. Falkirk and playing in all white?

The only time we won the league we had already invested a fortune in the new stadium and even then we were completely shafted by the powers at be because it hadn't been completed.  This rule was then completely changed the next season to allow ICT in.

Of course you were, it's all coming back to me.

"Campbell, can we see the lease?

It's in my other jaicket".

Groundsharing wouldn't have been an issue if like with ICT they had bent over backwards to get us in instead of doing everything to keep us out.  Changed the rules to allow groundsharing, changed the rules to allow them to play half the season in Aberdeen and half the season in Inverness. Had two votes after the backlash of the first one which had kept ICT down. There was no second vote for us or flexibility of any kind.  It was the self preservation league in full flow.

Exactly. Scrambling for attention on here because there's bugger all happening on his own diddy teams thread. Ignore him, he'll eventually get the message that no-one on here has any interest in him and bore off somewhere else.

 "I'll ask again Campbell. Can you let me see the lease you signed giving primary use of a compliant stadium"?
