rainbowrising Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Always question a dossier riddled with insist, why, believes, accuse, may have, claim, could be, alleged Where is the, it was Rev Green in the Dining Room with a Candlestick? Nothing. This was supposed to sink the SPFL Board. With what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 4 hours ago, JTS98 said: Almost all of the press releases by SPFL clubs since the Covid-19 fuss started have been riddled with grammar and punctuation errors, not to mention mis-use of vocabulary by club employees trying to give the impression of gravity and professionalism. A mate of mine who does linguistics work for advertising companies has actually offered to help a few of the clubs come across as more professional by proof-reading their press releases. No bites so far. It amazes me how badly written so many of these statements/press releases are. But then you read what so called journalists write... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghPar1975 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Looking forward to the SPFL official statement, hopefully they can run something off today - shouldn't take them too long based on that dossier. Suppose it depends on how much they want to irritate the Rangers fans/ board really. The WhatsApp group messages could well be real but proves nothing, as for threats its the equivalent of when my P5 son comes home and says he did something because a P7 boy told him to, and if he didn't the P7 boy was going to tell my boys mates not to be his pal anymore....even my son see's through that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Jeden Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 On the basis of that 19 pages I would agree the process of the SPFL was sufficiently flawed that there is a real chance of having the decision set aside. It might very well be that, even with full information of the alternatives and the issues, it is still the clear will of a sufficient majority. But if the SPFL are not willing to rerun the thing properly, I do hope somebody has the balls/money/time to take it court. Forget about Rangers. If these complaints were being put forward by a low profile club I would think most people on here would agree that what has gone on is not right. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be stupid to try to address that farcical statement line by line. The SPFL should also just call the league at the same time, stand back and watch the seethe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its only not right because your a jambo, and your sitting in the same canoe as Rangers and Stranraer.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I wonder who the sniveling little grass leaking the WhatsApp conversations is? For the sake of privacy, let's call him Scott G. No that's too obvious, let's say S Gardiner. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobe2010 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 All this because a global pandemic gave this horrible club a sniff that they could stop Celtic getting 9 in a row,something that wasn,t happening on the pitch.Thats their only interest and their fans buy into it like sheep.Does anyone believe they give a toss about Hearts,Partick or Stranraer.They want Doncaster removed,the man who actively campaigned to get them in the championship back in 2012.Like most of the rest of Scottish football I,m no lover of either of the sisters but I really hope Celtic win the next one with Lennon in charge as they will implode. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much the lobbying/bullying stuff. Mainly the stuff about failing to provide member clubs with enough impartial info about alternative solutions and separating the money issue from voting yes. The evasive way they seem to have dealt with Rangers attempt to table an alternative does raise questions of good faith in my mind. And, as the Partick QC would argue - Dundee had already cast their No vote. What flowed from disregarding that seems shaky to me. The simplest solution is for them to rerun it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the decision is set aside then there is a possibilty that the payments to clubs are illegal and should be repaid.
