Have some faith in Magic Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 This Falkirk guy, they are going to finish the Scottish cup. Why can't we have play offs. FFS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cormack is now in agreement rangers and Hearts that an investigation is required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a reasonable question at all. The 2019/20 Scottish Cup semis and final can very easily be played during the 2020/21 season. Clearly the play-offs cannot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's trying to provide BBC impartiality and play the Devil's Advocate. Other than that weird comment about the Scottish Cup was quite impressed with what the Falkirk Chairman has to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very odd for a very successful businessman who must have had to deal with radges like English in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo not voting or a No carry the same weight. The SPFL asked for votes by the Friday 5pm in order to try to get a result out ASAP, but all the clubs knew that they have 28 days as usual. Waiting until all votes were cast is not necessary, as not all votes are required to pass the resolution. Where the SPFL screwed up was in relation to the Dundee situation - Dundee absolutely played the SPFL and the other clubs No clubs in the Championship brilliantly, and now have their Reconstruction task force in place. A classic Machiavellian move but not one which has endeared them to the other clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he's the sort of journalist sorely lacking in a world where too many just churn out clickbait nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
