MTJ Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Scottish football will suffer as a result of this in the short term, but in the long term it will emerge stronger, better and fairer. We all just need to be patient and keep the head for a while longer yet, as the farcical endgame plays out. I can see where you're coming from, but when its all said and done and Rangers likely head to division three, are we left with the current setup, which involves the same leagues (not a big deal to me, but to most it is) no play offs and the fairer distribution of revenue proposal kicked to the curb? I'm unconvinced we'll see any positive changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibby82 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 You are spot on. The thing is, there is perplexed apoplexy amongst the game's custodians that you don't sound happy to fulfill this role. Don't you realise that the future of blue bigots the Scottish game relies on you continuing to pony up cash to watch a rigged league? Indeed. Doncaster in particular appears to exist in a state of permanent bemusement, and clearly thinks we're all mad. He's like some supercillious English missionary despairing at the recalcitrance of a tribe of rabid Jocks who have told him to stick his scriptures up his arse. A lot of doom-mongering in the last few pages. The paranoia is acute. Nothing has happened yet. It's a high pressure time for everybody involved- whether directly as a chairman, or indirectly as fans on here. It's not time yet to say we're all walking away. These are the desperate last twitches of a dying old system. Doncaster by the sounds of it got a rough ride yesterday and he'll know that Rangers won't win entry into SFL1, for all his scaremongering and grubby blackmail. Hence the threat to postpone the SPL vote. Rangers simply cannot be re-admitted to the SPL as UEFA won't wear it and the Scottish national team and qualifying clubs for Europe will be banned until the situation is righted. The SPL have nowhere left to go even if they postpone their vote today and opt for another week's worth of pressure on the SFL chairmen. I'll be absolutely astonished if the SFL vote to set aside their own rules and vote Rangers into division one- it's simply isn't going to happen, hence the SPL's panic. Rangers (at best) are going to SFL 3. It's taking us a while to get there, but we will. Time and again this crisis has shown that knee jerk and emotional reactions are misplaced and turn out to be wrong in the face of actual events. Scottish football will suffer as a result of this in the short term, but in the long term it will emerge stronger, better and fairer. We all just need to be patient and keep the head for a while longer yet, as the farcical endgame plays out. The problem is that if this does happen it will be despite the best efforts of those supposed custodians of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Let's start again and I'm sure the SFL would welcome applications from some of the teams who are currently in the SPL to join an organisation based on sporting integrity. An organisation that has been a closed shop for over a century, aye right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 What a horrible position Scottish Football is in because of David Murray and a lesser extent Craig Whyte. Every team that split to form the SPL is complicit in the current situation. Every single one. If anything, this is more the SPL diddies' fault than anyone else's: they were the ones who based their business models on, essentially, playing for third place in a league that existed solely to ring-fence TV money from Old Firm games. That's how the SPL ended up with 11-1 and Neil Doncaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 And yet again amongst all this impending financial armagedon I see yet another SPL club call a press conference to announce a signing.

welshbairn Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hmmmmm.. FOOTBALLFIFA threatens Oman with suspension from playing World Cup 2014 qualifying matches for breaching football rules on taking disputes to ordinary courts. Three clubs in Oman sought a ruling to invalidate allegedly flawed elections for the Oman Football Association ruling board. Oman, managed by former Rangers manager Paul Le Guen, are scheduled to play their next World Cup qualifier at home to Jordan on 16 October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Indeed. Doncaster in particular appears to exist in a state of permanent bemusement, and clearly thinks we're all mad. He's like some supercillious English missionary despairing at the recalcitrance of a tribe of rabid Jocks who have told him to stick his scriptures up his arse. I genuinely believe Doncaster and Regan would have no problems with, for example, including a "no relegation" clause for the Old Firm. Or perhaps more accurately a "no Bottom 6 clause". In fact, franchising a la Rugby League Super League would be their ideal model. Almost like the Eurovision Song Contest, where the UK get to play every year, regardless of how pish we are, because we have a lot of financial clout. the no mark countries compete to sing alongside us. It's really the problem with hiring non-football men to administrate. Their job relies on purely income and expenditure. It's why they just don't get the whole sporting integrity bit. To them, it's just a real inconvenience. Tiresome customers. Edited July 4, 2012 by H_B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
