I fall into that bracket. The closest we ever came was the League Cup shoot out calamity in 2002
Had just about got over that...
How many chances did we have to win that shootout? 3? Pretty sure Hardie had a chance and possibly Kenny Milne?
-
No chance we start playing at start of Feb. Only possibility could be the lower leagues start up in April/May and play through the summer months. The top leagues can’t do that because of the euros

To be honest the only reason I’d be happy for the leagues to be called would be to see Roy McGregor have to “take his medicine”

Looks like we've got a game every Saturday until the end of the season. So this (and any other postponements) will be played mid-week. The heating and floodlights will need to be paid for then too.
Lights yes but heating no. Quick check of the forecast shows that on Wednesday 13th Jan the temp should be around 5 or 6 degrees
-
Game will be off. I don’t believe there’s a rule that USH has to be used if available. We won’t be losing any money with a rearranged fixture and it will allow us to get players back.
Does Ruddens suspension move to the next game or the rearranged Clyde game?

Bet the Forfar chairman is delighted he voted the way he did to get a big crowd from us at station park. I for one won’t be purchasing the stream. Hope others don’t either

Any professional footballer should be able to hit put the ball over half way up the goal every time. If it’s between halfway up and the bar you will score virtually every time. Why players still go low amazes me. Also not enough players go down the middle

If ever a post highlights how far we’ve fallen

I was too busy on Saturday to watch the game - my wife and I were out and about. I was though checking the score throughout the afternoon and was delighted to see we had managed to get it to 2-1l At around the 75th minute I said to my wife (who is not the least bit interested in football) 'we will need a 3rd goal to win the game'! I felt it was inevitable we would lose a late goal. Not the least surprised when I checked the final score!
We have had this habit, losing late goals, for quite a few years now and still it goes on!
Have said this for years. We lose far more late goals (that directly influence the result) than we score them

McCall mentioned one the radio that someone would be going out this week. Mansell?
-
What’s the odds Hearts and Thistle get 14 away and 13 home games? No doubt luck of the draw

I'll not spend another penny that goes directly or indirectly to any other SPFL team or the SFA from now on. I'll spend extra on Thistle instead.
So you won’t go to any cup games at Firhill or (never going to happen) a Scottish cup semi or final at Hampden?

Is McCall back at work from furlough, or are we signing a player without the manager confirming
I very much doubt we are signing players without McCalls approval
-
In any other walk of life everyone would get round the table and sort this out. We don’t want court action nor do Hearts. Dundee Utd,Raith and Cove now dragged into it. The whole organisation faces massive financial crisis if we win the case.
surely just all agree to a recon and move on....
Not in Scottish Fitba

Too simple, obvious and pragmatic an idea for the SPFL. Smacks too much like reconstruction to me!
Good idea though!
Ah but that would mean Cove would still be in the bottom tier of Scottish football despite being promoted!
Never understood why no one ever mentions it as still only two away from the top...

The kits for other teams are not what they have released

If Hearts win their case and get compensation we would need to chip in for that compensation (Hearts May give ourselves and Stranraer a share back)
if that happens we sure only have to take legal action similar to that of Hearts

From August they need to make some contribution towards furlough costs - I think 20%
NI and pension in August
10% plus NI and pension in September
20% plus NI and pension in October
no word as to what happens after that yet

So a friend of mine on the board of a lower league club had just told me 14 10 10 10 is going to pass ... Kelty players have been called to a meeting tomorrow .... also coming from a source at livi
Hopefully correct. Why though would Kelty have a meeting with their players? I appreciate they would be up a league but why a meeting?
-
If this does go through the fear of a compensation payout has been the reason. Nothing to do with sporting integrity. Where would it leave Fox and Zanatta?

That would be one way of dealing with the worst outcome. Another way would be to get a no-win-no-fee legal team who would fight it in court. If it held up the entire proceedings for next season then all the better. The best way might be to fight not against expulsion, but demanding full financial compensation for the unfair and discriminatory expulsion. I wouldn't be surprised if Doncaster & Co simply caved in on that particular case and paid up.... much easier for them than the alternative.
Except Doncaster and Co don’t have the money to pay out. This is why he is now desperate for the recon to be voted through which it won’t be

All of the bluster and scheming by clubs to pursue self interest in league structures is simply pissing into the wind.
The fundamental truth is that there are too many clubs for the Scottish fanbase. The economic fallout from Covid19 and then Brexit, will severely hamper Scottish businessmens' ability to prop up clubs, and so it is likely that whatever league structure is chosen, there will be casualties in the next few years.
Thistle seem to be better financed than most clubs, and could weather the storm more easily than most.
If the vote goes against us tomorrow, the Club should hunker down, avoid legal battles and costs, discourage fans from attending away games and let other clubs go to the wall.
Play the long game.
All well and good but if we avoid legal battles and Hearts and Stranraer win a case and get paid compensation then how daft will we look.
-
If there are teams willing and able to play then they have to be accommodated. If not it is a clear restriction of trade
-
There’s more to this. If Hearts go down they will almost certainly take legal action. This, in all likelihood, will delay the start of the league season (August 1st) and if successful (other countries have suggested they would have a chance) then they could be due a fortune in compensation. This compo would have to come from the other SPFL clubs. At this point we would likely seek compo as would possibly Stranraer.
Clubs may see reconstruction as the only way to get clarity going forward and avoid this potential financial outlay.
Any lower league clubs who vote against this (I can see Forfar being one) have absolutely no interest in sporting fairness and integrity and are only interested in their bank balance (bigger away crowds form ourselves and Falkirk)
What if they shut down the season?

There is an argument that all teams are in the same position so starting again at short notice doesn’t advantage or disadvantage anyone
