SIRB_72 4,068 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 From a Rangers perspective I'm not arsed but if I was in charge of the league I'd be making changes. A 16 or 18 team league would be best. Just now I'd go for 16, each team plays twice (rules out playing celtic, kilmarnock and dunfermline 7 times a season) and one team gets automatically relegated and one goes into a play off. The play off would be a simple 15th v 4th (CH) and 2nd v 3rd rather than second worse Premiership side having an advantage. There would be some more dead rubbers but teams would use these as a chance to try out young players and start blooding fresh talent into the game and much earlier than after split. I genuinely think sides like St. Johnstone, Motherwell and Hibs who just now are to high up the league to get relegated but to low to get into Europe would blood in new youngsters at this point but can't just now because being in the top 6 will give them two big pay days against us and celtic. This might be a discussion for a different day but I'd go full in and move it to a summer league as well. Negri's lovechild 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

miracle 7,834 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'm not sure halving the number of big games and increasing the amount of diddy teams we have to play is going to improve things.

grant_rfc 122 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Collapse league two. Now instead of 4 divisions comprising of 12, 10, 10 and 10. Have 3 divisions of 14. I havent entirely worked out how many fixtures per season and all the other guff. I just dont think we need 4 divisions in our country. The likes of Dunfermline, Falkirk, Dundee Utd etc...are all of a good enough stature to feature in the top flight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point mate, I kind of like the idea of expanding, I think 4 games at least, against another side is boring, however, giving up 2 tarrier/sheep games, to play against shite, might not be such a good idea, welcome to Scottish football!!!

Jamie29 774 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 20 team league. Top 4 teams then enter play offs for the title. I'm sure this is in discussion for next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I’d have 3 leagues with 20 teams in each. Play each team twice with no end of season split. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 11,195 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Given how shit the bottom 2 or 3 teams and most of the championship dross are, I've no interest whatsoever in a 16 or 18 team league losing 2 scum games for the pleasure. More plastic pitches as well - fuck that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,208 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I guess you could have 16 teams, each play each other twice then split into 4x4 groups with two games each against the teams in the group. That way you would have 4 OF games and more fixtures against bigger sides whilst also giving the league a bit more variety. The main problems are that there would obviously still be a split and you’d have to have something to play for in each of the groups to make it interesting. Just an idea but think there probably are good ways to shake it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,589 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Imagine a league where you had to play St Mirren, Dundee, Livingston AND Ross County, Inverness and Ayr United. Boring as fuck. Too many of these wee teams would be fucking dire. I'd rather play Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts and the tims twice at home. No to more than 12.

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If it means consigning DUtd to lower league football, then the current set up must stay. I quite like the split - more competitive games against the best sides in the league. Inigo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
five stars 1,709 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The split is the best option we've got. A 20 team league would be rank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdave30 8,745 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Each team selects their best 2 players every satarday for a big game of cuppie doubles. Last team standing gets 3 points, 2 for second and 1 for third. If you win 3 on the bounce you get in Europe, spaces filled in first come first served basis. Ash parks only.

No danger either club would maintain ST sales at the price they're at now if you cut those big games in half just to add shite like Ayr, Ross County and ICT... Dundee Utd woukd obviously be interesting but after the first couple of pumping you'd lose any interest you jad in them Terry Hurlock Loyal and billscott 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 43,222 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Top league of 16. 30 games a season, longer winter break, possibly whole of January. Have a super cup end of the season in May, league winners v Scottish cup winners/2nd place, chances of at least 3 old firms being very high. Have two lower divisions of 16 teams split by north and south with introducing 6 teams from lower leagues. Same winter break. Regionalise the challenge cup with north and south sections until the final. Two teams get relegated from top, with 11th-14th entering a straight shoot relegation play-off for a 3rd team to go down. Teams relegated are put into appropriate region and leagues setup accordingly before summer break. Top team from each north and south league go straight up. 2nd and 3rd from each league enter combined play-off for 3rd promotional spot.

TV won't pay anything like the same for a league without 4 OF games, not to mention far fewer of the other big games. Ain't happening. You'd have club's going bust or cutting heavily. A Super Cup that basically means nothing won't change that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you only play to finish in the top 6 then it’s playoff time, 1st plays 6th home and away 2nd plays 5th and so on then a SuperDuper Tupperware Bowl of a Grand Final to win the whole shooting shabang.

72barca 1,788 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Run the investigation on paedo-ring operating at the piggery and have them flung out of all the leagues in Scotland. Let them join the irish football league and be their CL rep every year. As a gesture of goodwill they made disassemble the meccano stadium and take it with them and rebuild it in ireland. All other land to be given back to GCC as a fine. Fair and balanced judgement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
