I did not even start to watch it, and to be honest I find by the time they have all taken the knee at these games I am in no mood to enjoy any football.  

Same here ,here’s me thinking that there was no place in football for politics

So Dundee change their vote and the biggest beneficiaries are celtic.

Then Dundee’s technical directors son gets a job at celtic.

Nope. Nothing to see here, move along.

Fuck me man.

BBC Scotland and the international tv companies are getting a fair chunk back too. The £2.5m back to BT stinks like a hollicom PR exercise. The pot will be very much reduced.

Sky aren't sponsoring the league setup. They've been given the naming rights to sell onto whoever they want for however much they want.

So basically Sky are selling it for us and pocketing the cash?

I'm still expecting they'll get a few player loans as well whenever the championship starts. 

I hope dundee go out of business for changing thier vote. Losing their biggest gate vs Dundee United, and less fixtures to play will hopefully do it.

BBC tearing them apart for it mate, so accordingly (BBC) white lives don't matter.

Fucking disgrace.

Yip Talksport called it a disgrace and I joined in and told them along with others after the murders on Sat night they were the disgrace.

The clubs arse getting shafted big time, just seen the spfl have said if any teams in league 1 decide to hibernate for the season instead of starting in October could be demoted to league 2 😂 its absolute madness yet enough of them are still happy to plod along.

I'm at a loss myself magic how clubs are happy to continue on. 

You would think with clubs already struggling financially, last thing they would want to hear is more money lost due to SPFL incompetence. 

I think it might actually take either hearts/thistle court win or clubs going into admin before any kind of action against the SPFL is seriously discussed. 

By that point it will be too late to try and repair the damage this current lot have done.

Heard the voluntary hibernation shit too,Gives them the get out of restructuring 

Where would the “sporting integrity “ be where clubs know they are in a position where they can’t be relegated this season just because they decided to play football this year

I reckon it’s going to have to take at least 2 of the bigger clubs like Hivs or the Sheep or even a St Johnstone to go into admin for any real anger to come ,Even then there is so much mutual hatred in the game even that might not be enough

Sky could get £100m a season for sponsorship and the clubs won't see a dime. It's pretty much well known the last sponsorship was very poorly negotiated and severely devalued the product, much like the tv deals. So basically Doncaster is a horrendous negotiator. 

Can easily see Sky getting double what Ladbrokes paid out just by selling it to their sister betting company.

42 clubs pay this absolute charlatan £400k for fuck all. Worst chief exec in world football and the worst scottish football has ever had.

Hes stumbled from one embarrassing fuck up to the next yet if anything his position gets stronger, genuinely baffling how backwards this country anf its teams are.

Tbf he did have a quite cushy job down south before taking Duffs place with the tarriers. Coincidence surely.

Seen something that said the bottom 2 leagues only have 12% of their playing staff on the payroll compared to last season. Professional football teams aye?

I’m actually amazed that not one player has had the character to question this.

The recent origin of this was of course by NFL players who did not want to show respect to their own nation’s flag. Why people are happy to partake in this beyond the shores of the USA, and in turn disrespect the flag of an allied nation (not even their own) is ridiculous.  

To question this would of course have you labelled a racist.  I’ve also noticed a few black power salutes thrown in for good measure which are overlooked.

All extremism is dangerous, but it appears that this current social trend is beyond reproach or questioning and must be not just accepted by all, but must be practically undertaken by all.

End of rant.

After the game a white Burnley player was interviewed and without any prompting from the interviewer he gave his opinion on the disgraceful behaviour of the people who had flown the banner. He actually used the words “I’m ashamed” To be honest I just switched it off because it’s almost like you should be ashamed of being white. I’m not ashamed nor will I ever be. I’m not a racist either and believe all lives matter.

It is an excellent rant and one I agree with

Thankfully I dd did not watch after the final whistle but you are spot on Jinty IMO, all lives matter.

Why are the 3 killed in the UK on Sat night not important?

I just realised this is the wrong thread for this and I may have been partly responsible for that, my bad

Will all be forgotten about and zero fucks given when things are back to normal and the pubs etc are back open. Cunts taking a knee and lambasting "all lives matter" will be vilified by the punters.

The biggest thread on here will happen on August 1st when Tavernier and his teammates take a knee. 

Get over yourself and stop being offended. It should not be an issue. 

I will happily join in and I really don't give a fuck who doesn't agree with me or our captain when it happens..

It would be brand suicide not to send out that message.

Will be all over and done with by the time the league up here gets going again. Even the EPL are stopping it after this week.
