Ric Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 ..on the grounds that it would prevent them from going extinct altogether. And why would a Celtic fan care whether Rangers go extinct or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunfellaff Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 And why would a Celtic fan care whether Rangers go extinct or not? Why stick in 'Celtic'????? Substitute in ''football'' and your question becomes rhetorical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexybaldyguy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) A cunning plan will be announced this week that will see Rangers in the bottom flight next season:- A Scottish Premier League of 20 Teams A Scottish Championship of 22 Teams ( Including Rangers ) Three relegated from the SPL at the end of the season. Top two in Championship automatically Promoted. 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th in play - offs for third Promotion spot ( Beginning to sound familiar ) Sky to cover play-offs. By taking the top nine teams out the current first division and putting them in the SPL and making a single league up from the bottom club in the first and the 2nd & 3rd Division you should have more than smoothed the way for Rangers to get promoted. As soon as Rangers make it back to the SPL the cry goes up for League reconstruction and we revert back to a 12 - 10 - 10 -10 format. Simples Am I a cynic ..... oh, yes Edited July 1, 2012 by sexybaldyguy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Re the Craig Burley piece: However, there will be a chance for some people to restore my faith in Scottish football and that is to make sure Rangers’ punishment is a sensible one, one that also benefits the long-term well-being of the game.It must not be about satisfying the wishes of too many fans who are here today and gone tomorrow. Sadly, though, I do think the lunatics have taken over the asylum. The fans stay. It's the players, managers, directors, administrators and hacks who f**k off, leaving us to pick up the pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Why stick in 'Celtic'????? Because the person who I was quoting is a Celtic fan. Personally I don't care what happens to them so long as the rules are obeyed. I don't see why a club would go extinct or not should come into the picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Re the Craig Burley piece: He's certainly right about the lunatics taking over the asylum, however that was the case at the beginning not now. The SPL clubs voting (due to vote) to refuse Sevco into the SPL is about the most sensible thing that's happened in the league for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 How about this for a cunning plan?... SPL member club goes into administration. SPL member club is liquidated. New owner attempts to re-start them. New owner applies to join the SFL in Div 3. Fcuk me. Surprised no-one else has thought of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeHectorPar Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 No, unfortunately: * there's no 3yr accounts rule in SFL * they'd need simple majority (50%+1) to be elected to SFL * there appears to be some loophole that could enable them to be admitted to SFL1 on simple majority, can't quite remember the details Funny that. The SFL can't seem to remember the details either. Could it be that the details don't really exist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Are you honestly suggesting this utter drivel warrants anything other than ridicule? He's right, you're wrong. Regardless of whether Celtic's silence is about tacit support for the newco or simply to avoid tabloid criticism, CFC are undoubtedly doing everything in their power to get some entity that could be described as "Rangers" back in the SPL as soon as possible. There's simply no avoiding that at all. For f**k's sake stop digging, you fucking cretins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why a club would go extinct or not should come into the picture. Well the rules were obeyed, they could not get a CVA passed, so they are extinct. Newcorpse is what is up for debate now incase you hadn't twigged, and the rules to deal with them are already in place. Following those rules, newcorpse will fold as it cannot live on Div3 income (possibly not on Div1 either) and also become extinct. The problem is that said rules are being manipulated by parties with a vested interest (mssers Regan, Cockwomble etc) to try and ensure their survival. Wishing them extinct is not the same as wishing them not to survive by any possible means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordieBoy80 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Are you honestly suggesting this utter drivel warrants anything other than ridicule? I'm not the only person who has suggested that's what Celtic are up to. They know that without their business partners they don't have anywhere near as much clout. Lawell(don't care if that's spelt wrong) wanted to look like the good guy and blame the diddies thinking that £ would make the decision for them but has been tripped up by the demands of integrity from the fans of the diddy clubs forcing the hands of their chairmen. If the vote had went the way Lawell wanted it to then he was ensuring at least 4 sell-out hatefests.

That kind of, head in the clouds, thinking might be okay for intellectuals and philosophers, but this is the real world. Those kind of thoughts could get you into trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
