Personally I think the FIFA will stand back and do nothing and leave the SFA to "deal" with this mess. Obviously FIFA can't punish a single club, so they are somewhat limited in what they can do.

I think you are being overly touchy. So you think we shouldn't pay of creditors? That's fine, it's not my view, but you are entitled to it. Considering we have gone to court to get the embargo overturned yet the result of that could end up with expulsion or suspension; it's far from impossible that we won't be playing in the SPL next season. However saying "Let's hope.." is obviously not optimistic enough for you, but then maybe you are looking for reasons to complain. Well you just did, albeit indirectly. Of course I presume if I hold any contrary views to you then I am effectively "not as good a supporter as you"? And you wonder why I haven't commented on here until recently.

Well let's hope so. I wouldn't necessarily say Southampton were a "top team", but I take your point. Let's just hope we have a season to to prepare for...

Considering Hateley's son plays for Motherwell...

As I stated in another thread, should we be spending money on glamour friendlies when the local shopkeepers are struggling for the couple of hundred pounds that are owed to them? That said, good to see football make the news rather than other things.

My biggest problem with our debts is that we seem to be happy to take people to court while arranging and participating friendlies and jollies the other side of the globe when we can't seem to be able to pay off the local papershop or the small businessmen who are owed all of a couple of hundred pounds. To me that is shameful, if we really are the people it's the little people we should be supporting first. The big boys on the list can deal with the CVA and not go under. Small businesses can't.

You do realise that Charlie Adam was loaned to St Mirren, and Ross County before that, when both of them were in the 1st division? I have to say I thought Adam got a lot more stick from us than was fair, the biggest problem he had was consistency which was less of an issue in the 1st.

Oh, I know, and a I feel a complete idiot, but why go back and delete my last post. Let the OP have his fun, he deserves it..

WTF? I joined to remove the adverts but I've not posted so far for two reasons; 1) I haven't had anything to add and 2) I thought if I add anything during this time I'll get this sort of banter for being a new poster! For my background I was born and bred in Hyndland, used to hang around Partick Cross in the late 70's as a teenager and now live in the South of England and have done for the last 20 odd years! Get the admin to check the IP location of my post for confirmation of where I am now. Hope that helps reduce by taig-e-ness.. Edit: Oh, bugger, well that's taught me, I now realise the link points to the person who is logged in.. I have gone from mild exasperation to genuine laughter in a matter of minutes. Well done, OP you crafty b*stard!
