Same way I respond to the Hibs poet warriors thing. Hilarity. We're all jakeys. HIbs fans just take jakiness to a different level.

resk Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Of course, yes. They have a chance of promotion. Anyhow that's a question fo D Utd, Hibs and Rangers fans as when we were in the Championship we made sure we won it. Hearts fans have never been in either a promotion or relegation playoff unlike those clubs.Then if we are using your very unusal definition of the terms "relegation spot" and "promotion spot", I agree that we finished in a relegation spot in 2000. And also 1995, although some people / most people / everyone apart from you would probably say that in 1995 United finished in the only "relegation spot" in the top division, as they were the only team relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a spot that can lead to relegation or promotion. There's an automatic relegation spot and there's a relegation play-off spot. Same for promotion. Not hard.

How close did we get to finishing last season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close enough we could have finished it and delayed the start of this season, if Celtic hadn't needed to be prepped for their CL "campaign" by playing games from Aug 1st. Planning to vote yourselves 3rd again this season, or more likely vote to avoid relegation or something? Voting yourselves titles, Euro spots and the like is after all what Scottish football is about these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for promotion. Not hard.Along with most of the rest of Scottish fitba, I'm going to go ahead and carry on using "relegation spot" to mean spot where the club definitely gets relegated, and "playoff spot" to mean spot where the club goes into a playoff to decide whether they get relegated or not. You carry on describing both of these as "relegation spots" if you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awww diddums We didn't get to play our way out of relegation, no. Not sure reconstruction is cheating given how often it's been mooted in Scotland. Dundee changing their vote after pressure. Teams on the SPFL board voting out of self interest. The various other goings on. That's more like cheating big man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow Hamilton and co got to vote themselves out of it and Aberdeen weasled their way out of it as well. Looking forward to absolutely no-one suggesting the club that finishes 11th next season isn't in danger of relegation.

What dates did the Government allow for football to restart? Its absolutely mind boggling you can see the whole planet locked down for months, professional football banned in this Country for months, yet claim we couldve played 10+ games in the middle of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have restarted July and delayed the next season until mid Sept. Could have played 2 games a week. I say that, but the way the SPFL have handled the new season start, I doubt it would have gone smoothly. We could as you know at least have left the possibility of that on the table for longer. I doubt we'll finish this season to be honest, which will be interesting. And I don't see how PT teams playing FT teams will go well in the lower leagues. Running the Betfred Cup is sheer lunacy.

By all means moan about reconstruction not happening if you want, but this idea the season couldve been played to a finish without killing almost every club in the lower tiers is absolutely fucking stupid. Most only survived due to the furlough scheme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most only survived due to the furlough scheme. If you believe Doncaster. At the time he gave the reason for finish the league so quickly to release prize money, which has made zero difference. And in fact ending the other TV contracts cost clubs more than the prize money amount. And despite this so called bumper Sky deal a rich team like Aberdeen is still saying they're going to be in trouble without fans. It was finished as quickly as it was because of Celtic to remove the threat of null and void, just as the SC is playing because of Celtic. In my time as a fan in Scottish football all fans of non-OF clubs have acknowledged and bemoaned the influence of the OF on the way the game is run. It's mental how they've all forgotten that the last few months. Edited September 10, 2020 by 8GamesToGo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzled about how reconstructions would have helped the Championship start, but they all your posts are puzzling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
