Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Please stop referring to the Championship as a "Seaside League". Proper terminology demands that only League 1 and League 2 are termed as such. This ensures fans of big big huge big teams can look down upon your Albion Rovers, Montroses and errrr Falkirks correctly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 8GamesToGo Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) "Scottish football clubs are being canvassed on the potential impact of an entire season without crowds." https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54299338 Great idea. If only they'd done it months ago like any competent organisation would have. Budge's original 14-14-14 proposal while not ideal took into account the current situation and allowed for clubs that can afford to play to play. Given the recent calls from the likes of Ross County and the SPFL itself about fairness andworking together, it's worth remembering Budge's comments at the time: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/52813339 "Budge cited a "growing acceptance" that some clubs may not be able to play at all next season, with lower-league teams fearing the financial consequences of games behind closed doors. She pledged to share Covid-19 testing facilities and resources with clubs across the divisions to help cover the costs of enabling players to return to training and playing matches. And she says the "flexibility" of her proposal allows "each division to decide what is best for them". She added: "This is not about permanent reconstruction. It is about finding a path to deal with the emergency situation, which is likely to impact all member clubs for the next two seasons." She called it right and was castigated for it.

Lex Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hearts did not vote to demote themselves. Correct. Hearts voted to end the season because it seems Budge genuinely believed her clown shoes reconstruction proposal would be voted through and Hearts would be saved. The reality was there was zero chance of it getting voted through and the clubs (unsurprisingly) laughed it out the park first chance they got. Hearts then got relegated due to the combination of having the worst team in the league and having a chairwoman who completely misunderstood the situation off the park. Staggering levels of incompetence all round really, and a great laugh for the rest of us. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same can happen now, if only 24 teams can go forward then 2 leagues of 12, if it is 20 then two leagues of 10, we should do a survey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, she rambled on for fucking weeks. Months even. She called nothing right, or wrong, she just waffled a load of toffee and hoped some stuck. It might be the case that some of her musings align with current events on occasion, but I suspect that is a case of fortune rather than some sage like business acumen, evidenced by the fact that despite all her sabre rattling Hearts are polishing boots this weekend while Hibs are hosing Celtic away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 God there need to be a sevco like chronicle of banter years thread for Anne Budge. Just from March onwards was hilarious. A few highlights was that time she said hearts shouldn’t go down because they spent a lot of money to avoid it. Or mind that final final lastest bestest best proposal that said Hearts were of more use in the premier league than the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 8GamesToGo Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) 35 minutes ago, Steve McQueen said: Surely the size of the league is irrelevant to needing cash for playing behind closed doors? Only clubs who say they can afford to play should be playing. The others should be supported by distributing prize money and any TV money more fairly down the leagues. Clubs that play should be supported to do what they can to sell games online via PPV to whoever they want. The cups should have been abandoned. More time should have been taken to work things out before finishing the last season and starting the next one. All clubs should have been asked about the financial impact of no crowds before ANY decisions were taken. Incredible lack of self-awareness currently being displayed by many people in Scottish football when calling for clubs to come together to help each other and pleading for tax payer help, when most of Scottish football was happy to lump all the pain onto a few clubs just a few months ago.

ropy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Crowds should be reintroduced in the same way as alcohol, League 2 first and then work our way up until someone wastes it for the rest and then nudge back a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
