You're saying this with the confidence Dundee won't.

Albert is completely broken by St. Mirren for some reason though and always has been back to the Jim Goodwin playing days. He was even supporting Dundee against us at the weekend.

Brora was a riddy but long in the last. It's this season that counts. The Diddyship belongs to us. It'll make for an interesting season, at the least, now that we have something to aim for.

If that's the case you'll have already have won the diddyship title already this season for having three diddy head coaches who nobody has a clue who the head coach was as the club was too diddy to pay a uefa fine for having the actual diddy head coach in charge because he's pretty much a diddy coach :)

Correct. 

This is what should happen:

All the non-OF clubs get together and demand a massively different distribution model that presents a much, much more level playing field for clubs.  

It could involve gate sharing, merchandising being pooled, a requirement for a large chunk of European income to be shared out etc.    There would be a need for this model to involve lower league clubs also, so that no cliff face exists.

When these demands are rejected by the clubs and spluttered about in the media, the top flight diddies agree ahead of the next full season, that they will field youth sides against the OF, ensuring that they get hammered each and every time.  For home matches against the OF, they should urge their own fans to boycott the games, opening the grounds entirely to OF fans if they still want to come.  It'll mean that the OF sides take maximum points from everyone else, and the title will rest solely on the 4 OF games.  The spectacle for Sky will be shit and thoroughly devalued.

Meanwhile, the teams will all compete as usual against each other, meaning the 3rd placed team will be regarded as Champions by actual fans everywhere.  A trophy could even be presented. Relegation will still be decided in the traditional way, but as everyone has lost to the OF every time, the outcome will again be entirely reliant on non-OF fixtures.

The actual end of season table would not be that vastly different from what we get each year anyway.  The difference would be that the others would have stopped pretending that they all take part in a valid competition to win the league.

Think how this would capture the imagination.  Fans would for the first time be involved in what would be considered the actual title race.  This would be an international, sensational media story of the ancient footballing nation that stood up to the injustices of the modern game. 

The Latest OF league win would be rendered hollower than ever, derived as it would be from just 4 matches against 1 opponent.  Meanwhile, we'd all hail our new real champions.

No way would those in our game have the courage to do any of this of course, but it's a nice dream.  

We need the behaviour of our clubs to reflect that we don't need the OF, but they do need us

Quite lengthy, but this really should be inscribed on your gravestone. Although not for a long time yet, I pray.

Yes, 1st and 2nd get you Conference League football, possibly 3rd depending on who wins the Scottish Cup.

Excellent, the Conference League is the new Champions League for me now.

I wouldn’t trust Aberdeen
