And twice as many clubs voted for promotion/relegation than against it, yet their league just forced through what they wanted anyway. Bit ironic you're claiming that's a better method than having a vote and then using it to decide.

I'm not convinced that's so democratic - the poor cnuts at the top of the 2nd tier certainly don't think so. If we get reconstruction and Hearts, Partick and Stranraer stay up I'll say we got the right result. If not, we've fucked it. 1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said: And twice as many clubs voted for promotion/relegation than against it, yet their league just forced through what they wanted anyway. Bit ironic you're claiming that's a better method than having a vote and then using it to decide. I’m more than happy to be directed to the 1/3 v 2/3 split you mention RG. I took the following line from the Guardian to mean all teams had been consulted. I also understand that 9 of the top division teams abstained. Not trying to be snide, just trying to get my head around what took place, given the eufa have shown their usual lack of meaningful leadership. After a vote was split on determining the best way to resolve promotion and relegation, the KNVB was given authority to make a determining decision Edited April 25, 2020 by Shadow Play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t just drop a stat bomb and walk away. Makes it look like you were just plucking figures out of the air. We all know you jump at any opportunity, whether invited or not, to contribute to the Dundee thread of P&B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your link to the Daily Mail is the most detailed article I can find on the subject. 16 for promotion and relegation, 9 against and 9 abstaining. So if the Dutch followed the SPFL rules there would not be a suitable majority for either option. On reflection I think what the Dutch should have done is promised meaningful talks on league reconstruction then simply let those talks fail just like we are going to do here in Scotland Edited April 25, 2020 by Shadow Play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, 18 clubs, a majority, didn't vote for it. So, f**k knows. Edited April 26, 2020 by hk blues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D TOTAL Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Actually with crisp n’ dry being an actual brand it’s got me wondering what’s the worst one we’ve had ?and what’s the worst one we COULD have? Also is there a brand that would be considered too far like lovehunny or durex that would cause outrage? Considering we are more than happy to have betting companies and breweries Now I’m not at all that articulate but I’m sure you know what I’m getting at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Forfar Roof Truss is the only correct answer for worst. I'm not a fan of Switch's multicolour either. Kilmac were forced to change for less. Not a fan of the Signatures4U logo either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
