PossilYM Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 2 hours ago, An Absolute Imposter said: A concession? A working pyramid, as far as I've come across, is a requisite of being a member of UEFA. If I'm correct in that, there was no concession more like forced kicking and screaming. And those wishing to play European football must be open to all ie wummins fitba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewind and start with the weirdness of Cowdenbeath then tell us about Glasgow. Cowden wore blue tops long before Donald arrived on this earth. Like a lot of towns in Central Scotland we get orange walks and people who wear Rangers tops and go to their games, we also have folk who support Celtic doing likewise even had a Republican walk once. Add onto that Hibs and Hearts fans, even Dunfermline ones. Quite a diverse town really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthurlie1981 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 12 hours ago, Cowden Cowboy said: So what? There was no relegation and then the SPFL effectively gave a concession by agreeing to a play off. The situation elsewhere in the SPFL has no direct relevance. There was no concession. UEFA told the SFA they had to have a pyramid structure and this was the only option the SPFL agreed to. Let's not make it out to be the SPFL doing something for the benefit of the LL & HL, if they hadn't been forced nothing would have changed. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyweehutch Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 No conversation can be made to changing the league 2 play off till the LL stops being a closed shop itself and allowing B teams to fist them 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Regan at SFA pushed it through and he never once suggested there was any UEFA compulsion behind it - you’d think he might have highlighted that if it was the case. Spfl clubs weren’t advised there was any uefa requirement when they agreed the pyramid arrangement - maybe though you can show me a link from back in the day where this was highlighted? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Pretty amusing reading EK fans complain about the injustice of the pyramid when they've just watched their side buy the title. FWIW I generally believe the top side should be promoted/bottom team relegated. But I make an exception in regards to Team 42. Why should they be subjected to a glorified development league? The LL is a farce and I think it's quite right Team 42 get the chance to avoid the cesspit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
