Broken Algorithms Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Putting the squeeze of the diddies to vote the way the SPL wants? Surely this is now a case for UEFA? How can a governing league body tell clubs "if you don't vote the way we want you to then you are no longer welcome"? They aren't even bothering to pretend that they aren't corrupt if this is true. It's time we told the SPL to stick their league up their arse and all joined the SFL again. UEFAs 11 Values... Including: Financial fair play and regularity of competitions UEFA supports fair play both on and off the pitch. Financial fair play means that clubs operate transparently and responsibly, to protect both sporting competition and the clubs themselves. Financial fair play means clubs not getting into a spiral of debt to compete with their rivals but rather competing with their own means, ie the resources they generate. Good governance and autonomy UEFA and its member associations are committed to good governance. Good governance means openness, democracy, transparency and responsibility. In this spirit, UEFA defends the autonomy of sports structures, so that football bodies – with national associations in the lead – are the ultimate decision-makers in matters concerning football, with no undue interference from governments. Football first In everything that we do, football must always be the first and most important element that we take into consideration. Football is a game before being a product, a sport before being a market, a show before being a business. All three of these go completely out the window. Does anyone have a contact email address for UEFA? This seems a bit mental, but I feel strongly enough about the game that I would genuinely be willing to draft an email, have someone from here look over it for glaring errors, and send it off. I'd encourage everyone else to do the same. I don't want to sound overly dramatic, but I feel our game is being ripped apart here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and cruikshanks saved it Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Dear Mr Lawrie I am writing to you about the current situation with the club currently being liquidated Rangers FC. I have been a Dumbarton fan for all of my life I have pictures of my great grandad rebuilding the wall at Boghead in the 1950,s I have pictures of my Grannies washing line with all the strips hanging out after she had washed them, something she did for a while In fact I was attending Boghead before I was born as both my mum and Auntie served in the snack bar on the end of the Turnberry stand. I attended with my brother from aged 8 on, I was there when Ian Wallace scored against Kilmarnock in ,76 went to Hampden for the cup semi final Attended every game through the ,84 promotion run to the top league There for the last game at Boghead , in fact got a piece of the pitch in the garden and some of the bricks from that wall my granda repaired There for the first game at the Rock,jumping up and down when we put 6 past Elgin to cap an amazing catch up of Cowdenbeath. My birthday present on my 40th was 300 shares in the club My daughter was taken along on her first birthday to experience what has brought me so much joy and satisfaction I am still in shock at us going up this year. However the situation with Sevco 5088 or TCFKAR is so iniquitous that it may well lead to me giving up on Dumbarton and Scottish football completely. The rules are clear Sevco must apply to the bottom rung of the league structure as any other prospective new club would Doesn't matter how many fans they have Doesn't matter what ground they have this is a club that has cheated every person in Scotland Cheated the normal hard working tax payers Cheated every league competition since 1998 at least Is home to significant amount of rabid sectarian hooligans Anything other than an insistence on applying to league 3 is craven cowardice or cheating itself by the footballing authorities I will not be party to this nor will any of my family I hope you are as disgusted as I am at the plan to parachute Sevco into the 1st division. I will be sending a copy Of this letter to the SFA which will also include details of my support of the national team I would be grateful for your thoughts on the matter Yours Sincerely Neil Sent from my iPad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbhoy Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 What are the powers that be that are supposed to run our game most afraid off ? The loss of TV revenue or the mass destruction the orc fans will create if there is no newco team playing football ?. I'm gonna go with what the orcs will do if their club gets what it deserves ! resigned into the history books like Third Lanark was when it folded over.The animosity these newco fans will do to the ruling bodies members and buildings as well as club members if there is no newco rangers does not bear thinking about.There is no limit to what some of their fans will go to if their beloved club is killed off once and for all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting777 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The game is finished. The SPHell has screwed the SFL clubs. If there is any semblence of truth to the STV story thats me finished forever with Scottish football. Apparently it will be on ST in 10 minutes!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adundeemonkey Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Step one should be to stop trying to emulate the EPL. That is clearly what got us in this mess. We cannot offer the same sort of appeal that the EPL has. What we can do is offer a personal experience and that may mean that non of our matches are televised and a lot of teams would have to drop their wage bill significantly. But i enjoyed the years outwith the SPL more than those when we were in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Leighton Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Booooooooooooooooooooooooo! What a complete and utter clusterfuck. I watch this thread daily in the hope that common sense and bottle prevails, and the cheats - who cheated every supporter bar their own for years, and rubbed our faces in it while doing so - would get a fit punishment. I watch knowing fine well that any convenient stitch-up will spell the end of my 30 year love affair with the Scottish game. These proposals are that stitch up. f**k 'em, harder than they've been fucked before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Firstly, well done to Stewart Milne on re-stating Aberdeen's position. It's time for all the other 'No's, across the leagues, to do likewise. And every other club opposed to this shameful carve-up to join them. Secondly, had the original 'Sevco5088' in the SPL/admitted to the First gone through, I'd have been unhappy. I wouldn't have decided whether or not I would boycott the carve-up, I'd have probably just gone to fewer games, taken less of an interest in a sport devoid of it's integrity. If this, last-gasp, shameful carve-up is pushed through, then I cannot see me attending another game. It is an absolute disgrace. This means I'm going to have to hammer out another e-mail to our chairman, to express my outrage at these plans, and calling on Morton to object to both this insidious merger plan, and to refuse SPL2. I would rather we were put down even to the very bottom tier again rather than collaborate with the shower of c***s who have dreamt this up. In France they'd have barricades up in the streets for this level of corruption, from top to bottom. Longmuir at the SFL should be the first to go for his part in this scheme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Dodd Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi, 1st post I have been following the big thread since it started. Thanks for the entertainment guys.Now that the SPL clubs have shown the nuts to do the right thing, it is time for the rest of us to do the right thing. We all have a once in a lifetime opertunity to rid Scotland of the vile bigotry that has infected our society through the medium of our game. If you fail to act now you will never get another chance and our game will die. Seize the moment. Scottish football will prosper in the long term without sevco. The homegrown talent will be allowed to shine through without the fear of being poached and laid to waste by a team which has paid for players with money they have stolen off of every man, woman, child and dog in our wonderful country. Let the SFL, your club, everyone know how you feel. These morons are not Scottish and all they stand for and their history should be eradicated. SFL NO TO SEVCO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
