East Kent Jag II 88 Report post Posted January 13 (edited) 45 minutes ago, Dick Dastardly said: Unhappy bunnies https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55644550 Gary Deans' final sentences in the full statement are very interesting . They read "We have called for change and we are ready to play a leading role in the much needed reform that our national game requires. Change is required and urgently." I don't believe he is talking about another league reconstruction doomed to failure. Edited January 13 by East Kent Jag II Leading not loading Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have they been demoted and then only 10 games into the season been ordered to stop playing football for at least 3 weeks. Didn't think so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I was a cynic, I'd claim that a certain East End club would not be unhappy at the FM deciding that elite sport can't continue, and force SFA/SPFL to null and void the season, before half of the games are played. Whoops!!! too late Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whoops!!! too late Wrong leagues have been 'paused'. Celtic would want the premier league null and void this season, unlike last season. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auld Jag 1,896 Report post Posted January 13 I feel that every club who feel that they have been unfairly treated should all get together. They should then release a joint statement about how this should have been handled that would not have meant teams being unfairly punished by being forced to stop playing without any consultation at all from the authorities who are meant to be looking after their best interest. The problem is the leagues that are affected, most fans don't care about leagues below premier, ever mind the leagues below championship. The teams also need to get the media to pay attention to our plight as well. Everybody knows they are only interested in 2 teams and it is not Thistle and Falkirk. Not an easy task, but our club and all other clubs who feel the same way need to make their concerns heard. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As i say it needs to be a strong statement to get the attention of the media, who have more pressing things on their minds. Like sevco winning their first top league title.

I agree on this, but instead of just highlighting the complaints the teams need to propose a working solution. The big issue is getting all to stand together especially when the off line conversations start coming from Lawell and Doncaster to clubs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone’s got it in for me” Falkirks is more measured and ends with an action. It is far more effective communication. For me, the difference is that we warned the SPFL of the consequences of their actions(or at least claimed to have done). Falkirk waited until it was too late. The SPFL have a lot of explaining to do. Money was given to the SPFL by the guy Anderson to allow lower league clubs to test players and keep playing. The SPFL in their wisdom ? decided to allocate it across all leagues. Now they force div 1 & 2 to stop playing because they aren’t testing ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The SPFL have stacked the deck in their favour again. 22 of 42 clubs are allowed to keep playing. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
