Victorian Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 One day, who knows when, we'll get things right on the pitch and in the boardroom. A club of our size and with the number of supporters we have will be in a position where we are viewed as what we are. There's an awful lot of no-mark people at no-mark clubs who are currently acting delusionally that they are our masters, betters, greaters, etc. We need to get back one day and restore a natural order over these rancid little *****.

martoon Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Oddly enough, the 4x a season set up was credited, back then, with making Aberdeen and United's titles possible. The theory being that the OF were now taking points of each other twice more than usual and also had to face the 'new firm' 8 times. Add in 4 games against other decent Premier teams, as opposed to 2x against lowly clubs in the old Division 1, and the theory looks sound. It's long since turned full circle now, however. If it was entirely up to me we'd have an 18 club top flight with 2 points for a win. Three automatic relegation/promotions to and from an 18 club 2nd tier and so on down through regionalized non league structures. Not going to happen, obviously, but a temporary 18 or 20 club top flight would allow all those who can play behind closed doors from August to do so. The rest can hibernate if that's their choice/necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmaroon Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Look, there's a 2nd wave coming, further confirmed by the arrogant elitism of the UK government, and so there will not be a full season in any league. Those who reckoned the quick fix of demoting Hearts and Partick would save them are in for a very nasty shock. Unless a viable vaccine is found and available, the SPFL will be approaching the clubs that survive to form a top division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I really have trouble squaring up is how Hearts actually fit into the picture. This sudden thinking that we must make up some part of the SPL is new to the board of the SPFL. They were more than happy to just get the tic appointed champions by any means available to them. Now we are all hoping that suddenly Sky have realised we are a must have in the SPL when it gets going again. The only real problem I have with that is are the other teams suddenly going to say " but of course what were we thinking of when we blew that one out of the water last week without even a presentation being made". There can be no reconstruction without the right vote and I really doubt that will be achieved ... unless there are other caveats we do not know about going on in the background? I think we are going to have to go to court to get anything at all nevermind a reconstruction of the leagues but we live in hope. Something, or some things have changed in the last week or so. I dunno exactly what, but I think there are a good few that are now concentrating people’s minds. The BBC had an article (which they have subsequently changed) this morning quoting the Ross County saying - from memory - Hearts are a big club, their fans are making their feelings known, maybe we need to listen to what their fans are saying. When I read that I immediately thought he’s shit scared. He, and I predict others within the game, are beginning to worry that the Only Hearts philosophy is gaining big momentum. The talk of there being “serious money” going to be made available for Hearts legal action. The huge increase in FOH pledgers/increased pledges. Fans talking about boycotting games and clubs. Articles in papers from Hearts minded people saying the fans will never forget. I just wonder if that, along with various other things, is beginning to make people think about the long term effects of how Hearts fans perceive the club have been treated, and how the repercussions of that could affect clubs for a long time.

This is what we need to see played out in court because the SPFL Board forced the clubs to relegate Hearts (Hearts could NOT be relegated automatically by the points-per-game formula) and then they've put Hearts in a division where it looks like they won't have any chance of getting out of this season - all the while , the clubs who kicked Hearts out are doing VERY nicely with the new TV money. How is that fair ? The flaw in their master plan of course is all clubs including the bigot brothers cannot sustain their wages without fans. Some more than others Dundee Utd wages are 130% of turnover - So they get a few quid from sky - Big deal Dundee will be lucky to have anyone turn up ever, they voted their rivals as champions ffs and their won't be a club in the league taking many fans there Get the popcorn out cause something will have to change I look forward to the backtracking beginning soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another thing as a season ticket holder the games that excite me and get the atmosphere going is the ones against the old firm, wee team and possibly the sheep so to advocate halving those games fills me with dread. So instead of fired up, get into then games we replace with matches against Morton, Queen of South etc. Jesus no thanks!!!

It also annoys me that the Cabal still think they can find a solution without Hearts? A top 14 they will still want relegation no doubt? but it is as though all the top 12 can afford to play behind closed doors? So we could agree a top 14, but by the time its due to start we have 16 teams alive? and not necessary all the top 12? This week there will be more players on the scrapheap but next month will be a killer, clubs still have to pay bills? Sorry Keeff we can pay ours? Tick Tock everybody else?

McLean took alittle longer to build a team, with Ferguson having a starting advantage. They were both paying similar wages 9United bonuses) and fees so the standard of player gap was less and why so more competitive. We won't ever go back to several sides being able to compete on player quality due to money so really duty of care by the SFA/SPFL exec to find other ways of keeping leagues as competitive as possible. The 4 times each model can never do that again, so there is a need for new innovative thinking. If they want competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a poster on here who uses the near enough word for word, the same phrases and punctuation as him. And as I wasn't aware of Guildford before as I wasn't a member until 2012, it's jumped right out at me. Have even used "we don't need fans like them/you" quite as recent as Hibs derbies, iirc. Anyone able to supply a couple more thread examples, just to see if my curiosity is more than that...? My search function won't work. Anything having a go at fans, etc. Or picking on him. A certain poster from Hamilton continually has a go at our fans whenever the opportunity arises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane was available on loan when Locke/Brown and Murray picked Paul McCallum instead. Didn't know this !! Not enough despairing emojis to convey my reaction. By the way, it was Assou-Ekotto at left back who was outstanding (not Rose)👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Laff Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 14 minutes ago, Lone Striker said: Indeed - men against boys. Krankjar was outstanding, Danny Rose too. Didn't they bring on a young chap in the 2nd half - Harry someone ? Defo! Yeah, think he missed a penalty in the second leg too. Wonder what happened to him.
