Oh that’s right the Old Firm are only interested in themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-R Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 So basically £30,000 to each club each year for 5 years. That's nothing in the grand scheme of things. As for increased gates, I quite like having no old firm fans at our games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandyellowallover Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 SFA have released a statement saying that they have submitted information to the Government with regards to a re-start and that it has been "positively received" but they are still awaiting a "final decision" from Ministers. Pretty much an update to say that there's no update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I can imagine the SFA's definition of "positively received" being along the lines of ..... SFA.... "We sent you some information. Have you received it?" Scottish Government.... "Yes". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifexile Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Given only clubs below league 2 involved in the Scottish Cup can restart training can we assume that those leagues will be declared null and void and the Cup will finish this season?

Totally disagree! Unlike our Prime Minister who courts popularity, Nicola Sturgeon has been consistent throughout this pandemic in that all her actions and decisions have been made with a common purpose - to save lives! A recent article in the Financial Times states quite clearly that the Scottish Govt's decision to prioritise vaccination of Care Home Residents and Staff (was made knowing it would slow down the vaccine roll-out programme and therefore invite criticism of the Govt. from political opponents) has saved hundreds of lives in these establishments! We all know there was no justification for suspending the Lower Leagues in the first place and if suspension was justified then it should also have applied to the SPFL & Championship! I think the Covid issues at Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and St. Mirren prove the case. However my point here is that if she was after votes she would not be taking the difficult and unpopular decisions that resulted in tough restrictions throughout Scotland and in the case of football the suspension of the Lower Leagues! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
