SPFL On Red Alert

[The Specky Forum Organiser 66,908]

He's said no games can be rescheduled as they've used the only available slots. This definitely isn't going to come back to bite them on the arse

Yes apart from the Rangers TV and 500 getting in, it seems to have just blanked what happened yesterday.

Which takes us back to the bleeding obvious and what most of us have been saying!

If that's literally all slots used up why on earth would anyone cancel the scheduled games they have just cancelled! 

Surely you play on the 29th December and start of January, get two more sets of fixtures ticked off and that eases some pressure. It's madness. Barely anything has made any sense over the past few years.

At this rate the next time we play them it’ll be like the good old days wae old boys taking newspapers to Parkhead because the title is wrapped up and reading that instead

Honestly thought Clive would have chucked it when Gerrard left.

Like everyone else, I wanted our board to come out all guns blazing but their aloofness has actually stood them in good stead. Everyone has been losing their shit while we have calmly and serenely established a six point lead at the halfway point, while retaining our dignity and class.

Yeah, I’m along the same lines. As much as it would’ve been satisfying initially, if the board had come out and said the bheasts are just trying to get this postponed for their own devious reasons we would’ve looked petty.

Everyone knows why they wanted the postponement brought forward so I don’t think it would’ve done anything to our cause to just fire shots across.

I imagine that at the levels the Board operate at they will have voiced their displeasure and cynicism. I don’t think it would’ve looked good to start mouthing off to us plebs and start mud slinging.

The searing heat- seeking missile of a statement calling out the corruption, inconsistencies and hypocrisy we have all been waiting for..........has unsurprisingly not materialzed. 

But more importantly we can seek comfort in the knowledge that we will be blessed with Clive Tyldsley's honeyed tones as he describes a convincing victory at Fortress Invincible whilst we nurse a wee sherry and roast our nuts at the Yule tide fire.

Marvellous!

They haven't even taking into consideration what happens if more games get called off. We haven't even seen the worst of winter weather yet and how many times does that usually get games called off. 

We're getting a fixture pile up and we're going to watch this lot scramble like headless chickens trying to fix it. 

All to give one club an advantage yet again. The only thing that has made sense in the decision making.

From FB:

TOTAL HYPOCRISY. 

We were told two reasons/excuses by the clubs who wanted to bring forward the winter break. One fable was “games need fans” the other was “we get bigger crowds over festive periods”. Neither of these concerns were rectified by yesterday’s strange SPFL decision. 

We will see games being played on Sunday without fans and no SPFL clubs will benefit from festive full houses so what was the point? Who benefits from sliding fixtures that may still be played in empty stadiums? 

There was no vote by clubs. This is also a fallacy. The SPFL board have total decision making powers on fixtures. They asked the member clubs for feedback not a vote. Why they feel they had to do this is a dereliction of responsibility and why there was three options is even more confusing. We ended up with a highbred decision that contradicted the essence of the concerns. If clubs didn’t want to play in empty stadiums then why are we able to do that on Sunday this week and unable to do so the following week. It’s a farce. 

Celtic didn’t want to play this seasons first old firm game in an empty stadium and surprisingly the “random computer” selected the latest date possible and they didn’t fancy playing the New Years game without fans and guess what happens. If the game was traditionally played on Boxing Day you can bet your bottom dollar wed have had no games on Sunday. 

I note Doncaster is in the media today attempting to pass responsibility on to the Scottish Government for not changing their mind yet he’s completely changed his after being against sliding the shut down. He previously stated it was impossible as it would give us fixture headaches after the break. 

There seems no point in having a SPFL board as they don’t make decisions. They’d be better scrapping it and polling clubs on decisions because yet again they’ve failed their sole purpose. 

Their job was to do everything possible to get this season finished after a full year of matches. By flipping their decision yesterday they’ve made that less likely and it’s hardly unlikely that when football does return we will see full stadia which makes the decision even more ridiculous.  

Aberdeen etc who voiced concerns about lost festive income still don’t get any Santa bonuses. Celtic who claimed they just wanted fans in grounds didn’t get what they wanted but they did get the New Years fixtures postponed. Only the most ignorant of fans can’t see that was their real reason for their agenda. Funny that isn’t it? 

Unfortunately in 2008 and 2020 the football authorities caved in to Celtic and refused to extend/postpone the end of season date. This would normally set a precedence but let’s not convince ourselves that wouldn’t happen this season if we see a fixture pile up and a certain club are within touching distance of a title and direct entry in to the champions league.

According to the Herald we can ask for the Old Firm to be postponed due to the internationals.

The SPFL will do as they please whether it's in their rules or not.

That ugly fuck Doncaster just on STV sport saying there is no room to move any games yet we could still be playing, I hope it snows like fuck after the break and all games get called off to show up how incompetent the cunt is, can't stand the cod faced corrupt bastard.

The guy is thier stooge and should have been sacked years ago. 

He's pretty much confirmed today no real reason to move the ties especially now their is no room for rescheduling if shit goes wrong. 

He's overseen disaster after disaster. Yet he's still in a job. For the money he gets paid you can't tell me their isn't someone better. 

If we win this case on the cinch deal and it's showed he signed the deal knowing we couldn't comply. It should be curtains for him. But the guy always seems to keep his job.

When you have the backing of nearly every other club in the spfl were on our own with the corrupt bastard.

Watch this space.

They don't give a single fuck about any other fans in anyone else's ground. SuperCovid-22 could be lethal in February, they'd find a way to make sure their midden is full, particularly against us.

Is anyone really doubting that we'll play that game in a full stadium, February or whenever?
