7-2 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Turns out the 'cannabis product company' have been based at the ground for a while and opened up a shop there a few months ago. The BBC on the ball as ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accies 'defended' the deal but there seems to be no evidence of people criticising it. If it's health fears they mean then say so, but recall our leagues have been sponsored by companies behind such delicious tooth-rotting diabetes Type II to the max products as Irn Bru and alcoholic shit like Tenements and Carling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The statement on Hamilton's website explicitly refers to criticism of the deal - it even incldues the line "so why all the fuss". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. All that's basically happened is a business that already gives money to the club is now giving more. It's a total non-story and sums up the tabloidesque dumbing down of the BBC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remark wasn't qualified at all with reference to the League season or anything. Makes you wonder what we've all been watching for the last couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 The Daily Mail (I know) had one of their reporters doing a bit on the perception of Scottish football in England after the Aberdeen/Burnley match. He started the article by saying that when Aberdeen were 1.0 up the Burnley fans started singing “1.0 to the Sunday League”! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the ultimate result, a 1-1 draw with a team with their resources is a bit embarrassing for the EPL club. No different to Aberdeen drawing with a Highland or Lowland league club, perhaps? We know - for example - that Stuart Armstrong is a pretty decent player, but him being paid £40k a week at Southampton doesnt make him a better player than at Celtc, simply a richer one (and who could argue with his right to set himself up for life on one contract down south?). While more TV money would be useful to Scottish Football (especially in the trickle down to the lower leagues) I would argue that the English game has been ruined by TV cash - all these nothing clubs I couldnt even find on a map (feckin Burnley, FFS !!) thinking they are something due to a huge wadge of cash which then goes straight to the players, most of whom dont give a shite about the club. f**k them all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major beneficiaries would be the top leagie clubs, but in Scotland we tend to bring players from lower leagues - as opposed to EPL clubs which bulk buy the latest winderkids from around the world. Third Lanark had a decent history too, doesnt make them relevant ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark had a decent history too, doesnt make them relevant ! I think that "trickle down", In the context of Scottish football, is largely mythical. You described Burnley as a "nothing club" you couldn't find on a map. The first bit isn't true and the second is to do with your own knowledge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
