So if Dundee Utd, get a say as an SPL team on league reconstruction. Do Hearts vote tomorrow as an SPL or Championship Side? It has to be as an SPL side as they are not yet officially relegated. Shows how broken it really is.

11 May 2020 23:48:54
Wouldn't have thought it matters on SPFL, Championship or whatever status because still just one vote.

Just heard Aberdeen now coming out and publicly supporting our call for inquiry.

What I would like to put into the ball park is
Surely if we can get more than 50%
Support . we can push for a resolution to remove the board . Including changing the voting structures and possibly how the new board would be set up ie an independent body for the good of the leagues and not just certain teams within the league .
This new board could be answerable to any decision at any point with an overall majority.

Might be a better option than the court of arbitration. which even if decided our favour, could possibly only award us and others a financial remuneration. even as low as 10 k?

Let’s hear it for the dons👏👏👏.

11 May 2020 16:53:10
They can’t change the rules now mate! They will survive the vote but will quietly be disbanded and take the clubs money, then next in line, a nonentity called mike Mulroney will step into his promised nest, unless the clubs change things after this is over, it’s a laughable situation in Scottish football, truly outlandish.

Blue blue sea, that's taken it a bit much, expecting any blue nose to give them a clap, clap round the ear, lol. mate.

13 May 2020 17:14:35
Tomtom12, that is nail on the head, mate.

11 May 2020 15:49:53
I see the sheep are going to vote for an investigation.

11 May 2020 14:35:53
Fellow bears my view on all of this.
Void this season all leagues, nobody goes up and nobody goes down.
Dish the cash now to clubs that require cash injection now.
Only potential losers are ones who would have been promoted I. e. 3 teams.
For European spots let the teams who would be vying for these spots play each other champions league format, then no squabbling which team deserves it.
Surely top minds of this fine land can agree this is fair. All thoughts welcome chaps.

11 May 2020 15:42:46
Paul. I've been saying this from the start but sadly the corrupt SPFL/ SFA have other ideas. Give Celtic the title at all costs. What a joke. I agree with everything you say. Stay safe pal.

11 May 2020 13:55:12
Heard a story in a few papers, regarding Lewis Ferguson. I think he should be brought in for next season, there is no way he can sign for them. He is hands down, prob the best young midfielder in the country. He would be an ideal replacement for kamara, who, in my opinion, is a far better player. Kamara has cost us points. Lewis is a Rangers fan and comes from a good Rangers family. The club has to make vital changes, all over the park. We need a new left and right back, guys like Davis, who i love, should be moved on. We need a fresh look on things and get ready for next season. We need guys that want to play, and still have the hunger and drive for our club. We have a good squad and with a few quality additions, we can challenge celtic properly. We can't have repeats of this season, before winter break, on fire and the best team in the country, to after the winter break, struggling for wins and goals. A think a lot of players came back with huge ego's and thinking they are better than they are. I also think we have still to see thr best joe Aribo, once he gets up to speed with our game, he will be a sensation.

11 May 2020 14:29:47
Interesting you say new LB mate, is that because you think Borna is away or not up to scratch?

11 May 2020 14:38:12
Totally agree, this is exactly the type, style, age of player we should be going as we will nurturing him to each other benefit and he will also have a great resell value if we decide to kove him on.

11 May 2020 14:38:20
100% bud.

11 May 2020 15:07:36
I don't know snell, to be honest. I have heard storys, he will be sold. I like big Borna and would love for him to stay. I don't if scottish football is for him. He does get injured alot, but there is a player there. Last season, he did not play well and was injured alot. This season, ge has been like a different player, next season he might be even better. He seems to have the desire to play for us and adapt his game to suit the style of play in this country. Also, a decent back up, wouldn't hurt.

11 May 2020 16:32:26
Leeds utd left back barry douglas will be available for us to sign as i also think we will sell borna barisic, although i do hope i'm wrong! Barisic is a superb left back.

11 May 2020 01:18:04
Had an outburst about our smoking gun, and so hope its turning against my view.

Have just watched euro 96 n hated the game against England. My view is, we were unlucky. And we had a geordie gem who scored a 2nd goal that anyone of us would be proud of.

But got me thinking. Why Scotland are so bad. And i think it comes down to the spfl/ sfa that players don't bust there balls for our land due to the owners of Scottish football.

Just my thought. What do my best family think?

Ps. No tims required.

11 May 2020 06:58:04
Mainly because Scotland doesn’t produce good football players anymore, the Europeans play a different game than any coached here, that’s why, and this will upset a few, both old firm clubs won European trophies, Celtic in particular, had it pretty easy, Rangers wasn’t to be fair, but at that time both clubs were among the very best in Europe, I well remember Wednesday nights in Glasgow city centre heading back from ibrox to maryhill and coming across Tim’s after 2 massive games in Europe, great days but different game altogether now, Scottish football is posh, simple really.

11 May 2020 08:37:02
Interesting post Tomtom12. The dark side bang on about Celtic's European Cup-winning team being all Scottish but so was the Rangers team who won in 1972 in Barcelona, i. e.

McCloy, Jardine, Mathieson, Greig, Johnstone, Smith; McLean, Conn, Stein, MacDonald, Johnston.

touché!

11 May 2020 09:10:29
Howauld, is that an apology, for the smoking gun outburst mate, its cool, we are just one big crew pal, c'mon the rangers, lol, lol,

11 May 2020 10:32:44
The days of “No Tim’s Required “ are gone forever.
The beginning of the downward spiral for the Scottish National team came when Rangers started bank rolling Graeme Souness in the 80s.
Scottish football went to a higher level with most signings coming from outside Scotland which was detrimental to our younger Scottish players.
Within 10 years there was more non- Scottish players playing in our top division and that is when the results for our Scottish National team started to decline considerably.

11 May 2020 10:59:09
poor poor buzz its all rangers fault, boo hoo, why you worried about scotland for, you support oirland.

11 May 2020 11:41:01
What a lot of rubbish Leon!
In the late 70's, early 80's the top Scottish players were already starting to play for the top clubs down South.
Well before Souness cane along. He just happened to do it in reverse. 👍.

11 May 2020 13:50:04
Hey, we had more scottish internationals.

11 May 2020 15:43:45
Good old buzz bomb trying to find a way to blame the crap national team on the famous 😂 keep clutching at those straws mate 👍.

11 May 2020 15:56:01
Correct Mr Tupacman. Great Scots playing at the highest level in English football during 70s and 80s included:

Kenny Dalglish, Peter Lorimer, Eddie Gray, Billy Bremner, Joe Jordan, Archie Gemmill, Eddie McCreadie, Willie Donachie, Charlie Cook, Graeme Sharp, Andy Gray, John Robertson, Graeme Souness, Alan Hansen, Martin Buchan, Lou Macari, Gordon McQueen, Gordon Strachan, Christian Dailly, etc, etc, etc.

Need I go on? Yes, Souness turned it round and brought the like of Butcher, Wood and Wilkins to Ibrox. I think the unwashed should look in the mirror as to how many non-Scots they have signed over the last 20 odd years before casting aspersions.

11 May 2020 16:06:21
Think about what you are saying.
The best players were already down in the English top division, so Scotland were still producing at the youth level and the National team was good.
It was only when the other Scottish clubs followed Rangers lead into the non- Scottish market in the mid 80s and 90s, the Scottish National team was doomed.
It was the beginning of the downward spiral because the young Scottish players stopped getting a chance because the league was full of non- Scottish players.

11 May 2020 16:07:31
What you are saying doesn’t make sense.
Top Scottish players playing in a better league is going to help the National team.
But filling the Scottish top division with non- Scottish players stopped our young Scottish players from progressing. Which then turned out to be harmful to our National game.

11 May 2020 16:15:29
so the evidence barring cfc players from Scottish team, please.

11 May 2020 16:17:45
Leon likes to blame us for everything though Mr Tup. It is bred into him at birth.

11 May 2020 19:05:44
Buzz as usual you are talking nonsense. the demise of the good scottish players was because football was taken off the school curriculum. if there were good scottish players do you really believe rangers and celtic wouldn't give them game time. the standard wasnt there as there was no football getting kicked on the streets with councils putting "no ball games" signs on every spare piece of grass out.
