McKennan Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Not to mention the chair of any club that's relegated, aside from Dundee of course, at the end of the season. Not to mention nine other SFL clubs struggling to make ends meet in the First and a couple in the Second with an eye on promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda-jag Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 This is a fecking disgrace - http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/sfl/2010/10/09/dundee-to-avoid-demotion-despite-falling-into-administration-86908-22620849/. "Scottish Football League supremo David Longmuir last night made it clear the club would not be treated like Livingston – who were demoted to Division Three as punishment for breaching the insolvency rules last year. "And Longmuir also admitted Dundee may not even be docked points as Gretna were in 2008..... "But the league’s chief executive said: “The management committee has the power to deal with the situation as they think fit and there’s a range of options on offer to us. “There is no hard and fast ruling in terms of the deduction of points while demotion when the season is up and running would be chaos." One rule for some and another rule for others!!!! What an absolute fecking joke if Dungdee get away with this. What sort of message does it send out if they are allowed to escape from this, essentially unpunished? Another example of how Scottish Football on all levels is an utter embarrassing joke.

Pie Of The Month Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) He didn't rule out a points deduction. It's just the papers trying to make a story out of a quote which really isn't there. Edited October 9, 2010 by Pie Of The Month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 We need to be putting as much pressure on the SFL to make sure Dundee's cheating receives the maximum punishment. It would be an outrage if they were to get off without a points deduction (I reckon 20 points minimum) as they have managed to gain a competetitive advantage over clubs such as ourselves by paying for players with cash they didn't have. We lost Harkins to them and were outbid by them for Richie Hart and Pat Clarke just as 3 examples of how Dundee gained an advantage over Thistle by cheating.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 We need to be putting as much pressure on the SFL Grant, just about every fan I've ever spoken to over many seasons reckons the 3x10 SFL leagues are a major turn off and wish change. That's probably one of the major reasons for dwindling crowds and apathy amongst football supporters. If we can't even get that changed how the hell do you put pressure on the SFL to implement a sizeable penalty on one member club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
