I spoke to him about it years later and he was honest enough to say he just wanted to watch his team. But his position was untenable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, if our first game back is away to Livi, you think we're all going to sit at home after nae fitba for 6months and just watch it on the telly?

I hope so. Otherwise the sporting integrity that was so important not so long ago, is clearly conditional upon who suffers when it is applied. Forget about winning for a moment, but If teams are willing to prematurely relegate clubs, just to get their hands on some cash, then they should expect no favours in the future.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,622 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thinking back to 2012, I recall clubs speaking to fans and voting on us based on the feedback. Have any clubs consulted their fans yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been 400 that turned up but it was a public embarrassment for Rangers. If evidence was ever needed that we can’t pull off a boycott that was it. It should never be considered again.

If they're changing the rules so points can determine the winner, then surely they have to reassess All games to make sure the correct decisions were made in them. Especially after the amount of complaints about referees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the starting point for 20/21 would be where everyone stood at the start of 19/20. It's basically rewinding the clock to the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Scottish football is currently looking like a tin pot pub league, run by clueless wankers who can’t make any decisions because they don’t know what they are doing. A complete overhaul is needed desperately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not been in a top tier ground since we came up. I said in 2012 I couldn’t go and give them my money and once we got out the championship I resigned my position in my RSC with immediate effect. That’s never changed and never will . The first season not going was the hardest, I’d been everywhere from a very young age , but I got used to it. So I won’t be going anywhere near Livingston or any other ground Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
