Jarballs Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Credit where it's due, in the second part of Off The Ball Pat Nevin was bang on when he slated the SFA for dancing to the Old Firm's tune by sorting the fixtures out so that Celtic can't win the league against Rangers in order to avoid crowd trouble and carnage. It's precisely what's wrong with Scottish football, the governing body being subservient and pandering to the two arsecheeks. It's absolutely ridiculous that instead of punishing both clubs when the large sub-human element of their fans behave like p***ks the SFA change everything to accommodate them, sadly I can't see it changing any time soon though 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision not to play it has nothing to do with the clubs.So I don't see how that's pandering to us or the ***'s at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but you can’t escape the fact that the rest of us are in limbo about fixtures because of the implications of a title decider.Which in all honesty wouldn’t turn into the full scale riot police seem to think it would. Let’s be honest celtic have won the league, the day they make it official isn’t exactly that significant.I could maybe understand if it was a winner takes all on the last day of the season or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair one, perhaps me saying that the SFA are "pandering to the Old Firm" is incorrect in this instance. Not a sentence which gets used very often! It's still a pretty daft state of affairs though and I think my point still stands. My dig was at the SFA for being so scared of Rangers and Celtic that they'd rather build the fixture list to suit them than deal with some of their fans being arseholes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point stands, it's f**k all do do with us, i am more than happy to smash the ***'s at Parkhead to win the title and I don't think the club would mind. We will probably get you guys, smash you to bits and then put you at a disadvantage in the run for 2nd place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, you're absolutely right that the police won't want that fixture to go ahead. My argument is that if the SFA took stronger punitive action for fans misbehaving then perhaps it wouldn't so much of a concern for the Five-O. The SFA can hardly say that they've done their best to curb the carry-on. 6 minutes ago, Romeo said: @Jarballs was just in full "i hate the arse cheeks" mode.

Again, my dig was at the SFA and the way they deal with the problem - which you've said yourself, doesn't come from either club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Rico-esque meltdown here from Romeo. The inevitable carnage that would ensue from life's losers clashing after one of you wins the league against the other one would harm both sides equally in the aftermath. Perhaps if your supports were comprised of actual humans we could have football run the way it should be but alas, allowances have to be made at the expense of everyone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument is that you’re fine with a title decider against them.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Even if we accept, for the sake of argument the legitimacy of setting up the fixtures to avoid the league being won in an old firm gameIt really should have been possible to have multiple sets of fixtures ready by Saturday morning for whatever the situation was by Sunday night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
