SelkirkSaint Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 honestyinsport web page has voting as following. NO Dunfermline Morton Raith Rovers Annan Berwick Clyde Peterhead Stranraer Arbroath East Fife Cowdenbeath POSSIBLE NO Stirling Albion Ayr Falkirk Hamilton Livingston Partick Thistle That's 11 No's plus 6 possible No's. I would expect most of the possibles to be No but there is still room for late bribing and bullying. With 2 abstentions the proposals need 15 votes to proceed. (Dont know what happens in a 14-14 tie. Is there a casting vote by Longmuir?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Why have Dundee been told not to vote but Dunfermline have not recieved such an instruction? Has the decision on club 12 been made? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Forgive the repost :- "Fourteen years ago our football administration brought forth, in this country, a new Premier League, conceived in greed and dedicated to the proposition that two clubs should reign over all others. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that League, or any League so conceived, and so dedicated, should long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to bury the inequality and corruption, as a final resting-place for the club who here systematically cheated and lied and bullied, that our other clubs might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot erase, we cannot eradicate this one club without examination of the people and the structures who helped maintain that hegemony. The diddy clubs, living and dead, who struggle here, deserve so much more from the incompetent and corrupt administrators and journalists, those who pretend to act in the best interests of all, without fear or favour, but so rarely do. The world will little note, nor long remember what happened here in this small country. It is for us, the internet bampots, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which the RTC Blogger and Mark Daly have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these bigotted songs, EBT’s, tax scams and illegally registered players, we take increased devotion to that cause which ensured their vile club ceased to exist—that we here highly resolve that RFC cheated in vain—that this nation’s Football Association shall have a new birth of freedom and that the Beautiful Game of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from Scotland." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Why have Dundee been told not to vote but Dunfermline have not recieved such an instruction? Has the decision on club 12 been made? This is a thought that occurred to me too. My conclusion was the same as yours, but it begs the question why hasn't it been declared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 This is a thought that occurred to me too. My conclusion was the same as yours, but it begs the question why hasn't it been declared. SPL doesn't meet until Monday. Coincidence, I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever Diamond Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 there's also an article in today's Scotsman suggesting tomorrow's vote may be cancelled as too many clubs are in opposition. Has that claim appearred anywhere else? Can SFL Board even do that? Vote may be postponed If it does they are saying it will be held again just 8 days before the Ramsdens cup games start.It really is getting ridiculous at how many meetings they need,and how long it takes to get rid of a team that has basically made a mockery of Scotland and Scottish football for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claymores Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 NO to parachute to SFL/Division 3 - reject proposal (i), just say no. As SFL Clubs we welcome reasoned and detailed proposals to join in the lowest tier, including any newcos who wish to apply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerboy Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Without being pedantic I'd say these were Rangers punishments: a) a 10 point deduction; b) banned from Europe for three years; c) fined £160,000; d) a transfer embargo; and e) refused membership of the SPL. a) and b) were in the rule book; c) I think is being paid in installments; d) was illegally applied by the governing bodies; and e) has been applied. b) is not a punishment it is a consequence of liquidation. To be eligible for Europe, all clubs have to have 3 years business history. How can you have this if you're a new club? c) has this been paid? d) overturned with the only real option being suspension or expulsion as an alternative. I think this is why has the appellate tribunal has not been reconvened? e) Similar to b) and is a disgrace that it was even proposed in the first place. All new clubs must apply to the bottom tier with other interested parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Doesn't look like the bribe isn't going to work guys so we'll threaten to postpone the vote causing more uncertainty and potential chaos".

DeeGeeOneHamer Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 It's got to be a 'No' vote to admission full stop. It's the only way to bring this sorry saga to a conclusion. There will be a couple of spin-off series when Regan and the Cockwomble are turfed out, but for the love of all that is Scottish football this must end now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Vote may be postponed Firstly, postponement is ridiculous. "Oh, we'll lose? No vote"? Ludicrous. Secondly - why was Clyde's amendment "dismissed"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
