I understand the take your medicine posts, but this is a real disgrace and takes favouring the arse cheeks to a new level. Doncaster and his cronies just can’t help showing how shite they are at running our game and takes away any doubt whatsoever that it’s set up solely for the bigot twins. 

Are you really that surprised at this? It’s symptomatic of everything that goes on inside both the SFA and the SPFL. The real surprise is just how many people inside the game and in the media just sit back and allow this to go on unchecked. Nothing will ever change until sufficient  clubs find some courage and break away from both these corrupt organisations and get the game here back to being a fair and equitable sport.

No I’m not surprised at all and I agree with everything you say.

If you re-read my post I actually agree with you, I think I could have stated this a bit more clearly, apologies for any confusion.

Leeann isn't very happy with SPFL/Celtic re a scheduling change to a fixture at Parkhead.

While I have absolutely no sympathy with Hibs, whatsoever, I do feel that this is an abuse of a fellow member club of the League (whatever teams are involved) and that in every case where a match is postponed to allow a mega bucks friendly to take place that a percentage (say 10%) of the purse should go to the club suffering the inconvenience, with perhaps further compensation if the unfairly affected club was due to play at home. It could even be the case that the SPFL should also receive a payment, creating a situation where the whole of the league benefits from the largess available from people and companies with massive egos wanting to show off their wealth/gain worldwide advertising. And if Celtic, and to a lesser extent, TRFC, say 'that's no fair', just tell them where to stick their glamour friendlies. It won't happen, of course, because the arse (cheeks) wag the dog that is Scottish football.

[DETTY29]

As much as I hate Hibs, 'Take Your Medicine' this is an effing disgraceful, pretty much unprecedented decision by the SPFL.

 

Getting their own way under divide snd conquer approach and zero level playing field or fairness.

[Last Laff]

Hibs are in complete turmoil from what’s going around.  Expect another couple of high name departures from them before the end of the year.

Its what you get when you lie down to celtic and the SPFL. they think they're untouchable now. No one with any clout left to challenge them. It was all very funny expelling us but at the end of the day all the other tin pot clubs just gave legitimacy to the current set up. The SPFL have just shown what they think of any club other than celtic.

This is outrageous.  How on earth can your fixture list be rearranged to suit another team.  No doubt a glamour friendly against in the Middle East beckons but this is bang out of order.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Hearts need out this corrupt league.

 

if it’s not this it will be a SFA disciplinary panel formed by ex Celtic players putting us to the sword.

This is shocking. The same club that bleats about full fixture lists whilst they are in Europe suddenly wants to do a warm weather training (read money-spinning friendly) between 2 matches during a Covid epidemic...?

 

I have an image of this Blair fellow bending over his desk whilst he reads his emails...

 

Why the rush to confirm it? One hour and it is announced publicly? It is almost like they didn't want Hibs to respond...

 

Small amount of Karma but I actually take no pleasure in it... 

[Deid Heid]

Leeeannn can fiz as much as she wants to (which is truly a horrible thought, frankly ), but the point is neither she nor anyone else (unless they're Peetee Lawell) can do anything about it. Doesn't matter how unjust, unfair or bordering on the criminal, what the SPFL says goes, it has been proven in court. QED

 

As someone else pointed out a wee loan deal come new year will help sweeten that particular dose of her own medicine. ****!

My mistake, didn't read the article, just assumed it was another mega bucks friendly Celtic had arranged.

That is a big statement by Queens Park. Now they have dropped amateur status they have certainly been doing quite a bit to show they should be higher up the leagues.

[Neil Dongcaster]

She looks like the before picture for a lip filler company.

[stuartp]

Good step up for her!!!

[Hashimoto]

Still find it a very strange appointment....She honestly can't see Queen's Park as a career step up, not even a sides way move...

Can't have been head hunted, Can't see Queens Park offering a competitive salary and package.

I mean, some quarters were talking about her having a future prominent role at Rangers

Makes you wonder what went on at Hibs.......Quite clearly the relationship between Ron the con and Dempster turned toxic?

For what reason?

Seems a very strange move. Is she from Glasgow? Does she want to move back? 

Does not make any sense.

Maybe if it was Third Lanark I could see it.

Problem with the journalists as they are also in the thrall of the old firm/SFA/SPFL if they criticise too much they have their privileges withdrawn and are then unable to make a living - look at the farcical and schizophrenic way the BBC interact with Rangers.

Yes thank you I am for real. Celtic clearly have the whip hand, didn't and wouldn't contend anything different. My comments with regard to Rangers reflect the ongoing spat they have with the BBC that goes back years...

this is incorrect. I don’t like rangers fans and I don’t like what they bring to the game but certainly as far as HMFC are concerned, given our direct experiences with those hooped ****s  there is absolutely NO comparison.  
 

Examples are too numerous to mention but particular highlights are the 86 fix, the fact that we have have been relegated due to their 8.78IAR, the burning us on bonfires, the robbing kiosks. The forcing the kids game. HT  to be moved Becuase they were spitting on the kids. The balaclavas and the throat cutting outside games in front of my ****ing kids and the SMEARING OF HUMAN FAECES ON the walls of tynecastle .. 

 

if it was up to me not one of them would be allowed back into tynecastle ever again

They're exactly the same. Celtic have controlled Scottish football in the recent past with the help of their minions Hibs and Aberdeen but don't think Rangers wouldn't and haven't done the same. 

 

Hearts hopefully have learnt that looking after ourselves is the only way to act.

What is the target for Queens Park? Scottish football is a very saturated market, its a story that we know the ending of already, splashing unnecessary money to get out of League 2, by time they get to Championship they will be running dry, still have 500 supporters and go bust.

[SomethingAboutObua]

How much money do QP have to get working full time? I cannot believe Queens Park are paying anywhere near what Hibs could, and even if she has more free reign she has or small things like not commuting to Edinburgh to consider, I still can't see how Queens Park can get a figure anywhere close to what she was on? The sale of Hampden?

 

I hope Queens Park do well, but Partick Thistle comfortably hold the bigot free and hipster market of West Coast football and they still only max out at about 4000 fans in the ground, plus if they've been winning the second tier and playing top flight football over the last 20 years, how are Queens Park going to grow their fanbase from where they are now? The guys i know that support them still follow them because of the small community feel of the club, so where do they go from here?

Bang on.

Glorified junior club with a rich heritage.

Top dogs when the game started in the 1870s, FA cup winners (??), Blah blah.

 

Knowing Leeeeann, she will know when to walk away and leave the mess to someone else.

[TexasAndy]

Interesting challenge for Dempster.  They obviously have a bit of ambition possibly fueled by the pyramid system that threatens the league existence of the lower league clubs every year.  Who knows where they can get to but I don't agree with the doom predictions in previous posts.  If Hamilton can exist in the top tiers of Scottish Football with their one man and a dog support then good luck to Queens Park.

You've just reminded me of this ... "Oh, the banter." 🤣

 

[kirkierobroy]

As a near-Weegie (born there but raised in Kirkie) I have a dream.

 

Sevco's finances come home to roost and they crash and burn and Sevco 2 are reborn somewhere in their Union Jacky English heartlands.

 

Celtic reach for the stars in the 'Atlantic League', get relegated, and move to Dublin.

 

Queen's Park go from strength to strength, draw increasing support from throughout the Southside and beyond, and win the SPFL Premier the season after they buy back Hampden from the SFA/SPFL who have lost interest in football since SELLICK and RA BERRZ left the country.

 

Scottish football pro and semi-pro clubs start producing and retaining young talent with a resulting boon for the National team. There are intense yet good-hearted non-sectarian rivalries as Hearts and your Leith pals square up to QPFC and Plastic Whistle in the SPFL Premier while Edinburgh City often lock horns with Pollok, and, ahem, Kirkie Rob Roy, who have both risen from the West of Scotland Football League to the Championship.

 

Scotland's depressed former SELLICK and RA BERRZ supporters are granted free travel to a new colony for the underthinking on Rockall. Last one alive gets to come back. Maybe.

 

You may say I'm a dreamer, but...

No Dempster fan but can’t see any reason why Queens Park can’t climb up the leagues if they get a bit of dosh behind them. Lots of small poorly supported sides have done so in the past.
