Glen Sannox Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 If this is true MJ has potentially killed our club. What an utter embarrassment. What had he possibly to gain by abstaining? Words actually fail me. Talk about putting a massive downer on the news. If true, apologies to all for our chairman's lack of integrity, balls and ability to read and understand the needs of the game. Kilmarnock fans don't need to apologise for anything, it's hardly their fault that MJ chose the abstention route. I don't think i've seen one Killie fan on here who doesn't think along the same lines as the rest of us non OF fans re all this sevco stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 When are the re-draws for the Ramsden Cup and League Cup 1st Round due, The League Cup hasnt been drawn yet. Why would the Ramsden cup need redrawn? Simply replace whoever goes up with whoever replaces them. Or, give the other team a bye and dont admit the replacement club to this years competition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We had asked the SPL whether it would be more appropriate for us to withdraw our application but were advised against this. Advised by who? Can only have been cockwomble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuyahoga Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So much for the Killie chairman being a clever businessman. If there's one focal point for SPL fans to target for a boycott next season it's Rugby Park. Did the stupid twat not have the sense to realise this? It's not just away fans that will boycott. He has single handedly destroyed our name and potentially killed us completely. He really has no clue at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelman65 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I wonder if the votes were in an "around the table" type way with Killie going first (shitting themselves) and smeltic only voting NO when it was obvious everyone else was. Anyone know if any of their clubs have stated which way they voted, nothing on the Motherwell site yet ( Surely no but would like to see it confirmed) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 If Killie abstained, why are they announcing on their official twitter that they voted no? Sounds like they weren't expecting anyone to leak the actual results.... We don't have an official twitter. The only club in the SPL without one. Yet another example of our chairman being a fucking idiot. I'm not sure he realises the shitstorm he has started today though. He was at the meeting last Thursday where 100% of the people in attendance said they wanted a "No" vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The big chair Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 point away! as the whole country is pointing at you lot When you're a big club you get used to the attention. Until it has been officially confirmed, it's better to keep your powder dry. If it does get confirmed point away, but I believe sevco's old buisness partners may have been guilty of briefing their media monkeys to deflect attention from the true culprit. Ask yourself who had the most to lose by a no vote? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double0pie Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18704923 Dunno if this has been posted before but it makes me feel easier, thought Thistle were gonna roll over for a bit. The Jags will not support the SFA proposal that would see a newly formed Rangers join them in Division One. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuntoiRab Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 There was a cracking wee post last week, can't remember from whom, basically saying that if SevCo went into SFL3 then there might be a some defenders looking to take a few SevCo forward's scalps. These nuggets on Goebbels Media who think that a season in SFL3 would be all fluffy bunnies and "is there honey still for tea" might have another think coming. However, my fave theory is that Charlie just liquidates them out of existence now that the SPL have said GTF. If they end up in the 3rd, it will be funny reading about their wee boys getting kicked off the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Bit too much celebration on here for my liking. This is only half the battle---need to make sure the SFL doesn't get shafted now. Us diddy-diddy-supporters backed your lot, now its time for you diddy-supporters to back up SFL. Absolutely. However, I wonder if someone could clarify something for me. I said in an earlier post in response to the Clyde FC statement that Doncaster and the SPL chairmen were playing a dangerous game by blackmailing both the SFL chairmen and SPL fans - is it correct that Doncaster basically does the bidding of the SPL clubs, he is in effect an employee of the SPL ? Did he just try to implement the wishes of the top tier chairmen re. the threats / blackmail shite ? Or does he come up with that stuff himself ? Would be interested to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask yourself who had the most to lose by a no vote? To be honest Kilmarnock probably have more reason to say "NO" then Celtic do, as your allegedly the least stable club financially. Not that I'll believe you'll actually go out of business without this new SevCo I just think it crossed your chairman's mind. I also think it might have been a round the table hands up type of affair and Johnston had been early on in the vote, I can certainly understand why he done it if that's the case 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) "As you will now be aware St.Mirren FC today voted against the application by the Rangers NewCo to be admitted to the SPL. This vote was part of an overwhelming rejection of the application by the SPL member clubs. It will now be left for the SFA and SFL collectively to decide where the Rangers NewCo will play it's football next season. Those organisations will make their decision in due course without any pressure from the SPL or it's member clubs and we will fully respect whatever decision they make. We now hope that the St.Mirren support will get fully behind the club and team as we prepare for the new season and start once again to focus on football matters. Unfortunately due to the clubs media officer being in hospital today we are unable to post a detailed update to the official site, so my thanks to Black & White army for publishing this update. " It would seem Doncaster sought to make his own deal without knowledge of member clubs? A sackable offence surely?

Percy Johnston Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just a thought - here we all are (myself included, shamefully) feeling pleased that there will be no NewCo in the SPL, and congratulating our various Chairmen on voting "No". It just shows how low we (meaning Scottish football in general) have all stooped, when we have to pat ourselves on the back for having done something that is morally correct and upholds sporting integrity. This is NOT a good day for football. It's just less bad than most other days recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
