So someone from Dundee, Ayr, QOTS, Alloa or Raith. Bets on either Nelms or Cameron. No chance is that Lachlan, he doesn't do unnamed source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s far more likely that the Daily Record has made the cock up rather than whatever chairman allegedly said that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to challenge things you find unfair and name your price (it doesn't mean the court will award that if you win). By the same token, other clubs should be able to challenge clubs that are taking the absolute piss, and also name their price, in this case, getting them to f**k. I'm not disagreeing with you at all, but this is very much part of the process Hearts and Partick have chosen to go down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 What grounds do the two of them honestly think they have for claiming £10 million? The logic they’re using suggests than just about any club could claim compensation for “not having the chance” to improve their league position. They don’t have a fucking leg to stand on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are routes of appeal within the football structures which clubs are supposed to follow in these cases. They can go to the SFA and then all the way up to CAS if they want. It is in the best interests of everyone involved in football to keep these things out of civil courts where possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rector Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 49 minutes ago, wastecoatwilly said: Again it's doesn't matter if it's Motherwell Hamilton or St Mirren colt teams that get the chance to play in league 2. Would the cost be a problem? I see it's time to get the 'Why Colts and B teams are Anathema 101" notes out again. Oh joy. If you put colts teams in the league, you *inevitably* destroy the integrity of the league. This is because, as several of your previous posts state, the *purpose* of them being in the league is *different* from every other club's. Consequently, decisions about tactics, team selection etc are made not with the same ends in mind as everyone else, you are not competing on an equal footing. If these teams work as planned, some of the colts might graduate to the senior side during the season, making the side considerably weaker at the end of the season than at the beginning - not for normal footballing competitive reasons but for a completely separate agenda. There's no guarantee that the colts played would be Scotland-qualified. So you are asking the league to ruin itself for the benefit of producing better players for your club. That's it. Furthermore, on the slippery-slope principle, it wouldn't be long before the criteria and minimum/maximum age requirements were relaxed and clubs started playing their reserves and not-quite-match-fit recovering injured in the teams. This situation has come about largely because of the ridiculous stockpiling and hoarding of young talent by a couple of clubs. Now the proposal is to f**k up League 2 in order to fix a problem that these two clubs created - at *no* extra cost and considerable benefit to themselves. Why's it the job of League 2 to provide practice matches for your kids/hasbeens? Above all, having established finally a pyramid that rewards sporting achievement (after a fashion) on the pitch, two clubs, or however many you think, suddenly get to have an extra team in the league, violating a basic principle of the league - one club, one team. And before you start off on 'for the good of the national team/national game' nonsense a) there's no guarantee these colts would be Scotland qualified and b) lets see the sacrifices you're prepared to make for it. How about, an equitable distribution of prize money, gate sharing and TV money, an end to the 11-1 rule and an expansion of the Prem to 18 clubs. If you want your kids to develop, loan 'em out. Even better, stop hoarding them like their loo roll. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Jeden Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 1 hour ago, Green Day said: What complete and utter shite you talk. Of course they will. If the court rules that the relegation decision doesn’t stand, he/she isn’t going to say “except Stranraer’s relegation, that stands”. If the judge rules null and void, he/she isn’t going to say “except 32nd spot - that stands”. And if the judge awards compo , then the SPFL will offer Stranraer a proportionate amount - or deal with the no win - no fee lawyers that would just copy cat the case. Chill. I can’t think what caused your bad tempered outburst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Brazil Forever Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 1 hour ago, wastecoatwilly said: Why would any team be ejected? You just add the colt teams. We have just had three substantial votes against reconstruction. I don't think there will be a fourth anytime soon and Rangers and Celtic will not form any kind of majority vote. The colts proposal stank when first put forward a long time ago now and we are totally fed up as it continues to rear its stupid head year after year. In short, absolutely nae chance pal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
