AberdeenHibee Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Whatever punishment is dished out on NewCo must be the same for all clubs in the future for as long as there is football in Scotland. Fact, If ICT or Hibs or Hearts or Motherwell go under: I expect the EXACT same extensions on decision making and administration, exact same attempts by the media to save the clubs, a strong consideration to restructure the league to accomodate the troubled team, and the exact same outcome. Be it a restructured league to accomodate us or a demotion to first or third division. Will it happen? Will it f**k. Corrupt to the backteeth, we have known this for years with the referees and punishments dished out to the OF but this one takes the fucking biscuit. SPL and Doncaster are Rangers fuckbuddies and we all know it. Ugly enough to be a ger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Does anyone else think we should let newco fc back into the spl with all the fore mentioned punishments? Transfer embargo, possible points deduction plus the fairer split of money and introduction of play offs? Obviously integrity would probably go out the window but there would be a real chance of them getting relegated which would be worth it! Sky would still maintain their investment as they get their old firm games. Everyone is a winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rangers/Newco scenario is far worse because they've had the polis at their door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Leighton Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 They would likely introduce a 14 or 16 team league to save them.... Correct, wherever Rangers finish in Division One, they and every team above them will be in the top flight the following year. This corrupt sham will stop at nothing to get the most disgraceful football club in the game's history (be that for their 120 year sectarian policies or their financial cheating) back into top flight football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Parp Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Then UEFA should do it and deal with the incredible level of corruption that has/is going on. Yep, I would have thought that fixing a league would be as bad a crime as fixing a match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 No vote today = Rangers FC(IL) remain members of SPL = Dundee/Dunfermline stay in SFL1 = no vacancy in SFL = nothing for SFL to vote on next week = no change Season starts with RFC (IL) as Club 12 although they will be unable to fulfil their fixtures as they have no money, no ground and no players. Cockwomble spontaneously combusts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesel1994 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Has anyone asked the Juniors to vote them in just in case the SPL and SFL vote them out? Too late. They would have had to have got their application in by the 16th June for the AGM when new clubs are voted in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/18703183 The three viable options are effectively: bringing "newco" Rangers back into the SPL with a range of appropriate sanctions; putting Rangers into the second tier of Scottish football or Rangers going into the bottom of the pyramid into Division Three," he told BBC Scotland. "The third option, I was keen to stress yesterday, would inflict massive damage on the whole of the game in Scotland; and effectively punish 41 innocent clubs for the misdeeds of one." Yes Neil, so let's reward the club thats caused this farce, and pretend we are doing everyone else a favour with it.

happysouth Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Well done partick " Statement from Partick Thistle Wednesday 4th July 2012 <h4 id="news_2443"></h4>Arguably the most important meeting in the 122 year history of the Scottish Football League took place yesterday and was attended by a member of the PTFC Board. As a Club we felt that it was important that we entered this meeting with an open mind, taking full cognisance of all the facts, the opinion of our fans and free from prejudice and speculation. Unquestionably there are major financial consequences, for all Clubs in Scotland, should a newco Rangers club not take a place in next season’s SPL and there has been a proposal put in front of the SFL clubs that would allow Rangers direct entry into SFL1, contrary to the current league rules. On its own this proposal is clearly unacceptable, on a number of levels, and is something the Board of PTFC are not prepared to support. A more fundamental review of the entire Scottish football league(s) setup is clearly required. However, we feel that it is not the responsibility for making a decision, that will have huge ramifications throughout the game in this country, to fall on any individual member, or collection of clubs of the Scottish Football League. This is not a problem of the SFL’s making and as a result it is not a decision which can be taken in isolation of the SPL clubs. It is the opinion of Partick Thistle that the Scottish Football Association, the game’s governing body in Scotland, should now take ownership of this unprecedented situation. Our view, shared by the majority of supporters, is that a radical overhaul of our game is required. We are more than happy to be involved in any such process, however feel that the driving force for change has to be our National Association. Meantime we thank the Thistle supporters for their continued support and their many helpful and insightful observations in recent weeks. No matter what happens over the course of the next few weeks we would ask you to continue to support our Club through these difficult and challenging times." Edited to add:- actually, is this a no, or a yes but with restructuring? Edited July 4, 2012 by happysouth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Supporting a small non-OF club is really like being part of a little community. Travelling to away matches, Saints scarf hanging out of the window, getting beeped by fellow Saints fans who drive past, giving them a wave.. These are just little things, but part of the magic of being a so-called 'diddy' supporter. To feel part of something which isn't solely about football. TBH, I'm almost ready to say f*** it to Scottish football right now. The only thing stopping me is that I'd miss the guys in our supporters club that I'd barely see if I wasn't going to the games with them seeing as I live in Aberdeen and following the mighty City is my only association to Brechin these days seeing as I left the place just before primary school! I'd guess that it's even harder supporting a diddy-diddy club. When you travel across Scotland with the usual 60 or so fellow supporters on the only supporters bus running, you get to know all these guys from a relatively small community. To suddenly distance yourself from them because of some p***ks running the senior game would be harsh and tough. Sounds bizarre, but I'd maybe even consider going on the odd trip down to Dumfries with them for the banter and pints but instead of going to the football, go somewhere else for the day and crash at my grandad's that night before doing something around the Solway on the Sunday. Go to Ayr and go to Alloway for the afternoon instead. Go to Arbroath and get off the train there for a few drinks en-route to my mum's place down in Fife for the weekend. The football only takes up a couple of hours of the day after all. My other half occasionally comes down on away days with me (to avoid being abandoned!) but taking our last trip to Dumbarton, we had a few drinks and went to the castle before the game and while I watched the football, she popped back on the train back to Glasgow before we met up at Queen St station later and went out for dinner and a few drinks down in Glasgow. That's the sort of shite I could be doing, although shopping sounds a bit extreme for me! Edited July 4, 2012 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 SFL should say f**k u to the SPL. We have 30 teams in 3 leagues, all organised and ready to go and have zero intention of voting till you the SPL look properly at your own fucking mess. You deal with your mess you only have 11 teams and a Sevco Scotland. If you want one of our teams ask till then f**k off and lie in your own shite. And I believe Turnbull Hutton should stand on the steps of Hampden and say it through a loudspeaker to the Cockwomble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somner`s love child Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 On whose behalf is Cockwomble speaking? It has been suggested that the document he produced last week was done without the knowledge of at least some SPL chairmen, certain SPL chairmen have reaffirmed they will vote NO, Motherwell have now stated their position, an unofficial meeting of SPL chairmen was called off last night and replaced with a 'conference call'. I'm inclined to believe Cockwomble has gone rogue and the SPL will vote today. Love a look at their constitution. Somewhere, buried deep and in small writing, will be a sub clause that states that if two clubs request an adjournment the meeting cannot proceed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot I think that's an astonishing thing for Doncaster to come out with. I can't see how he can possible remain in his job if clubs continue on the path they are heading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
