I don't have a problem with 1st getting the lion's share, it should be an achievement. But in an uncompetitive league, it's just extending the gap.

upgotheheads Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 This has probably been said already but anyway. The state of the Dundee pitch has already caused huge difficulties for the SPFL which are likely to continue for the rest of the season. A simple solution would be to dock three points from Dundee, which puts them down to the bottom six, leaving H1b5 and Motherwell to play for 6th place. In the bottom six Livi are already down, and although finalising the play-off place is important, it's not as important as finalising the top 6 places. Having Dundee in the top six has the potential to create huge problems for the fight for the European positions. The problem for the SPFL is that Neil Doncaster owes Nelms a favour for helping him out over our relegation debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot dock points without a rule being passed and this can’t be done during the season plus all clubs will have a vote on it , the most the SPL can do is fine the fax brigade at the moment I’m afraid , IMO any thing that keep the vermin bottom 6 is fine by me Edited April 11 by buzzbomb1958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 7 hours ago, Ministryofdad said: Hibs now calling the spfl about sporting integrity. Of all teams against Dundee and sevco. 2020 will NEVER be forgotten. However in the same thought process if Dundee get top six. Are we at home or away against the fax squad?? Hilarious that any of the three teams involved should be bleating about “integrity”. It’s a concept that’s been a complete anathema to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseyjambo Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 This is where Scottish football is an absolute laughing stock and those in charge of the game need to be punted. The cost of a decent new pitch of a standard to ours is needs money which should come from tv rights or sponsorship. Our pi$$ poor TV deal means that that a lot of clubs need that money just to survive. The SPFL should make money available to interest free to do things like replace pitches to try and improve our game and bring in more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be forced to pay for the pitch from their own pocket rather than buy players. I want no help for any club after they all shafted us. Dundee should have a transfer embargo until the surface is sorted. Hope they go bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL should make money available to interest free to do things like replace pitches to try and improve our game and bring in more money For the SPFL to make interest free loans they would either have to 1. Significantly reduce payments to clubs in the short term to build up the cash to loan out; or 2. Take out interest bearing loans themselves which they would then loan out to clubs, with the SPFL then meeting the interest payments on their on loans by making a smaller reduction to payments to clubs but over the long-term. So the costs of the interest free loans to some clubs would effectively be met by the other clubs (as the SPFL is just a collection of clubs). It might well be for the overall good of the game in Scotland, but clubs and fans have a poor track record of putting the general good ahead of self-interest.

Clubs who have invested in their own pitches would effectively be disadvantaged financially. It should be a strict condition of Premiership clubs to have this in place or they are either denied promotion or demoted if already there.

The Treasurer Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I see that "expert pundit" Chris Sutton says it could disadvantage sellik if scumdee have nothing to play for when they play sevco. If he took a minute to check he would realise that, regardless of the weekend results, they can still make the top six by beating sevco.
