Uh-huh, nothing back from Greggs yet? One Below? Poundland? Eh, sorry, bad reception here, what was that? One sponsorship offer? Uh-huh? Right, I’ll sort it when I get back to the office.

Would certainly make this never ending procession a bit more exciting.

We should get @Div to purchase a P&B trophy and present it to the winning team's kit man, in their local McDonalds. Just to keep it nice and tin-pot.

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 Brilliant. Beyond genius. Although perhaps over complicated? Could we not just simply f**k them off if the don’t succumb to our demands? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 All these jokes about chocolate medals and Irn Bru trophies are very good. The point is though, that there would actually be nothing remotely tin-pot, or embarrassing about any 'champion' crowned for finishing 3rd. It would represent a tangible achievement, as a club would have beaten some others of similar stature and maybe some a bit weaker to get there. If it was won by a Dundee or a St Mirren in fact, it would actually involve overcoming sides with significant advantages. Contrast any such scenario with the nonsense that currently gets marked with fireworks and great faux excitement each year. These 'triumphs' could not be less impressive, yet the pretence otherwise is projected everywhere. It's not those competing in the Diddyship, who ought to feel embarrassed. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
