They look to be ****ed on all fronts right now. relegation Incoming,, pitch soon to be needing replaced to grass if they want to be involved again in top flight and now Sponsorship ending. looks grim as for hell for them Would I be surprised if they go out of business and one of bigots tries to take their stadium and place in league for B team to take their place in whatever league they end up in. Nothing would surprise me in future with spfl. It might be fanciful but im sure they would love their B team in lower league then they could sod off to engerlund not that english would want them but money talks nowadays. Maybe its the booze haha.

More established clubs toil to attract a support Livi by and large is a weegie overspill and TBF still has a huge Hearts support to its credit and from the off They are best in the lower leagues though as the offer F all, like Hamilton we always have a great away day there.

Lone Striker Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Whats going on here (from BBC SPort) - Brighton and Brentford are looking into potential partnerships with Dundee United on the back of the SFA's decision to allow Bournemouth co-owner Bill Foley to buy a minority shareholding in Hibernian. (Daily Record) Have the Arabs got a new generation of Souttar/Gauld types of talent coming through ? Or has Mark Ogren got the begging bowl out ?

Same could be said for any football club, in fact the bigger the club the bigger the investment and losses. The owners of Chelsea, man citeh etc are not making money. They've spent Billions over the years. £3/£4m would sort out most Scottish teams and bring them relative success. Not sure why spunking a few million on Scottish clubs is looked down on, while burning £billions or £100's of millions on an English or French club is viewed differently and positively.

Fawa link still down btw Bored and with no Hearts match on I watched the Dundee Utd vs Inverness game . Dundee Utd were pretty awful (less awful in the second half). Amazing finish for the equaliser, but all of the Inverness team claiming a foul on their player by Moult for him to be able to turn and hit the ball. No idea if it was a foul as I missed the replay. From what I have seen over the last while Dundee Utd and Raith both going through rough spells, but nobody will challenge them for the top two spots now.

That’s a good point, you are right, no guarantee at all given how inconsistent they all are. Just think the 2 legged nature of the final really favours the top league team with the 2nd leg at home. Am I right in thinking Hibs are the only prem team to be relegated through the play offs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that it's weighted in favour of the prem team. One off final at Hampden would be better, imo (or some neutral venue that would look full!) Yes, I think another Hibs pioneering moment!

brownkg Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I went to the stenny v Peterhead match today. Neither keeper troubled mainly due to the strong wind blowing down the length of the pitch. Only incident of note was a forearm smash by one of the Peterhead players that Andy Robbins would have been proud of and not even getting a talking to despite it being right in front of the standside linesman.
