Absolutely fucking ridiculous from the SPFL. East Fife getting in shit for calling off the match with Clyde because Clyde got a positive covid test that day. Hope the SPFL get fucked over again like they did with trying to do the same to St Mirren etc earlier on in the season.

The chance for that to happen was this time last year and the rest of the cabal voted it down because they hated Rangers more.

[GersInCanada 7,775]

East Fife did the right thing. So the SPFL look to punish them. Beggars belief.

Another screw up by them. Surely time for another vote of confidence. It would be much closer than the last time. Kick them all out and replace with anyone with an interest in the greater good of the game.

Really hope Brechin go down. The scummiest club going today and that's some achievement up here.

[esquire8 42,480]

An absolute joke and embarrassment to the game. A grand for a team like them right now is alot. Hope they appeal it.

This is fucking despicable if true. Yet no doubt fuck all will be done against the culprit. Should be sacked tonight and never be able to be employed in football again.

INVERNESS CALEDONIAN THISTLE AND RAITH ROVERS ANNOUNCED AS JOINT WINNERS OF 2019/20 TUNNOCK’S CARAMEL WAFER CUP
The Scottish Professional Football League (the “SPFL”) today announced that the final of the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup will not take place and that Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Raith Rovers have been declared joint winners of the competition for Season 2019/20.
Winners’ medals will be distributed to both clubs shortly.
Chief Executive of the SPFL Neil Doncaster said: “Sadly, the disruption caused by Covid-19 has meant that it has not been possible to stage the final of the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup 2019/20. We held off for as long as we could to give us the best chance of staging the final in front of meaningful numbers of fans this season – but it just wasn’t feasible.
“The SPFL Board has therefore declared Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Raith Rovers joint winners. On behalf of the SPFL, our sincere congratulations to both clubs, their players and coaching staff on becoming the first ever joint champions of the competition.
“We are looking forward to the Challenge Cup resuming next season, when it will be known as the SPFL Trust Trophy, supported by money donated by philanthropists including James Anderson. In the meantime, I would like to thank MG ALBA, Tunnock’s, and the Boards of both Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Raith Rovers for their flexible approach as well as for their patience and understanding in reaching this decision.
Director of Multiplatform Content for MG ALBA, Iseabail Mactaggart, said: “MG ALBA have very much enjoyed our association with the Challenge Cup since BBC ALBA first became the broadcaster of that competition in 2008. We congratulate all at Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Raith Rovers for being joint winners of the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup 2019/20. We all missed the competition this season and we look forward to covering the SPFL Trust Trophy for Season 2021/22 later this year.”
Chairman of Tunnock’s, Sir Boyd Tunnock, commented: “On behalf of Tunnock’s, I congratulate the players, staff and directors of Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC and Raith Rovers FC on becoming joint winners of the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup. We have enjoyed our association with this unique competition and wish all the teams involved in next year’s competition the very best of luck.”
Inverness Caledonian Thistle Chief Executive Scot Gardiner said: “The Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup of Season 2019/20 was certainly a rollercoaster of a competition, which for us culminated in the thrilling and controversial semi-final here at Caledonian Stadium v Rangers Colts.
“At the end of that tie, we were second in the Championship and Raith Rovers were, I believe, leading League 1. This season’s Challenge Cup was not even played. Since that game was played, there has been such a long time between then and now and while we were originally happy to try and play the final subject to fans being allowed in, both squads have changed so dramatically that we no longer believe, if the game was to be played, that it would be fair to either set of players who fought so hard to reach the 2019/20 final.
“We only have around five players left from that semi-final winning squad and we could even have the prospect of one of our players from that match being set to play against us. Subsequently, playing the rescheduled match from two seasons ago would mean that, unfortunately, cup sporting integrity would be long gone and accordingly, we feel that the best solution is to award both team squads from that season winners’ medals. For some of the players, they may not ever get the chance again to receive such a medal and we feel this is the fairest solution in unprecedented circumstances for all parties.”
Raith Rovers Chairman John Sim commented: “On behalf of everyone associated with Raith Rovers, I am delighted that we have been declared joint winners of the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup. Whilst we are obviously disappointed that our fans and management team have missed out on the excitement of a final and the opportunity to win the cup outright, we understand that the moment has passed and that we should all now look forward.”

 

Just when you thought that Scottish football had hit rock bottom. They shoehorned 2 semi's and a final so that scum could win a Cup in a different season with a different squad but a match cannot be arranged to allow either ICT or Raith to win a cup.

Maybe read a bit more into it mate. Cox admits there was a "to and fro" across the benches, if he gives it he should expect to take it. 

That's the equivalent of someone going in to OT in here calling somecunt out, getting his arse handed to him and throwing a paddy about the abuse they got.

Totally different from someone just blurting that out like the racist attack on Kamara.

Mate, there’s a point when it goes too far. Aye, there’s always trash talk on the field, but something like that is beyond the usual banter. I remember playing one day when a guy complained to the ref about me swearing at him. The ref told him to fuck off.

All fine with shit talking between two teams during a match. Basically just banter. But this is alot worse than that. Imagine having mental health issue that nearly cost you your life and some cunt brings it up during this back and forth ribbing saying he should have killed himself first time. Fuck that. Quite obviously he gets it alot since he said if it got brought up AGAIN he would quit.

I'm not condoning what he did but at the sametime if Cox was slagging folk - and we don't know what he said - he shouldn't expect lines to be drawn about what's acceptable ffs.

What if no one knew about Cox issues and someone said "kill yerself ya prick" and Cox then stormed out, would there be the same outrage? I'd say no, and in this case the guy was provoked by Cox and let rip. Again, not condoning it but if you give the abuse, expect it back.

As I said mate, we all know about the banter on the field. This is just too far.  We’ve all gone through it. Imagine you had that issue and some cunt said to you  do it right next time. We don’t know the frames of peoples minds.
