News that Dundee United will vote against allocating a place in next season’s SPL to Sevco confirms what we suggested yesterday, that sentiment has swung against the notion. Motherwell’s innovative idea of allowing fans (who have already expressed overwhelming opposition to the idea) a vote is further evidence that even hard-pressed clubs are prepared to make financially difficult decisions. Suggestions that the Motherwell board should grow a pair and take responsibility themselves have some merit.
Stewart Milne has denied BBC reports that Aberdeen have decided to vote against but I expect this is a matter of due process more than any genuine indecision.
There was a feeling this morning that matters could be brought to a head sooner than 4 July if enough clubs publicly declared against Sevco. This would suit Charles Green’s company as they would be able to prepare offers to Rangers players (who they are able to sign) knowing where they are likely to end up. If they are forced to wait until 4 July, Sevco will not know what squad requirements they will need for next season before making a decision on what Rangers players to offer employment to.
More than SPL football, Sevco need clarity. A rush to declare against them might seem harsh but it would be enormously beneficial rather than being forced to wait a further 12 days.

Next Thurs 28th I believe is the date players will get paid and also the date they have been asked to report back.
If they have been advised that they will be assumed to have accepted the transfer if theyaccept pay or report back before lodging an objection, then there should be plenty of action this week.
Never mind not knowing what league they’ll be playing in – they don’t know that Ranges will be playing at all,

Nobody will be able to tell him
*irony*
I think that the Motherwell document is fair and quite sobering.
Rangers (deceased) have put these provincial clubs in a terrible position – they are in for a hard time regardless of the decision.
Dunno where he gets it from but:

re- wi/fi,mobile phone signals at CP.
CP currently has 02, voda, tmob and 3g anntenas installed, as I have worked here on a few. It has’nt got Orange though hehe.
In saying that my Bhoy is always complaining about how slow his phone is when catching up with the other scores or sending pictures, he’s on Virgin.
No to newclub playing anywhere.

think it might have been Auldhied who previously suggested that some portion of Chumps League money should be redistributed to other SPL clubs in future – maybe not a bad idea?

Personnaly think they have missed highlighting that they will be down by nearly two thirds on their gate money if they vote newco in, assuming a boycott by away support is initiated by other clubs who are voting no.

Hi everyone.
It is complete madness over at #TeamOscar HQ!!! Havent stopped.
Big favour to ask- can any of you modify PDF docs? i.e. delete a line of text?
If so email me and i can send it over with details.
It should be a simple 2 minute job but i dont have Adobe professional which i think you need.
Also if anyone wants a copy of the official Oscar Knox appeal poster drop me an email
TeamOscar@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks and Hail Hail
Knoxy
I think all the clubs understand that if they vote newco in, a boycott by opposing fans is the least of their worries, the real problem is a boycott by their own fans.

You can copy and paste a ‘pdf’ as a text document and then delete as you wish and then recreate the ‘pdf’.

LOL @ Orange.
The actual phone signal for phone calls is ok but internet access is almost non existent. It is usually HT when trying to access the internet so perhaps it is the volume of people trying to access that is the problem.
Go Team Oscar!!!

For all the huns, today’s new word is abnegation
Sorry guys im sorted (i think).

And they are united…
Came on 2 hours ago but just managed to get off the floor now after reading the McSally Ally statement. I am now certain he was on more than Q of S when at the Beeb in London. I think this time he may have overdosed. This is the guy who has jumped more ships over the last six months that he could have crossed Niagara Falls without a tightrope. He has so much practice he could just have leapt. Now he wants the only real financial contributors to the stricken, 75% of income – more than the Mormons ask – to remain in…..eh, nowhere. It is absolutely gobsmacking that anyone would even dream up the notion never mind voice it that the unemployed should remain out of work and then put the blame on them for being made redundant and looking for another job. Even writing it seems like a drug infused hallucination. Time for a stomach pump Allo, Allo and not just to remove the Greigs’ pies!

No probs Knoxy. Here if you need me.

You are right they don’t quantify it in the terms that you state. However they don’t ignore the problem. They state: “Whilst we do not anticipate a loss of gate receipts from NEWCO fans under this scenario it is very possible that we see a significant loss of income from fans of other clubs and our own depending on the general view of the ‘integrity”‘ of the game. This is impossible to judge at this stage………………..”
I think they are right in saying this scenario is impossible to to judge.
Overall the document seems fair and open to me. I’d like them to have stated how their current season ticket sales were going, but as a Celtic fan I can’t demand that information. If I was a Motherwell fan trying to vote in the ballot then I’d want that information up front.

Do we want to start re-writing the Mowbray era as one defined by dodgy refereeing as opposed to dodgy management (taking off N’Guemo for Ki at Pittodrie thus surrendering the midfield and the game)?
Well while we’re at it why not sing the praises of John Barnes?
If the cheating takes in the whole of the Advocaat era then in theory he is a league winning manager. After all his brand of football was far more entertaining than Mowbray, his teams had Lubo, Herrik, Viduka and Berkovic, when it worked it was incredible. No plan B though.
————————–
Just to clarify , I raised the Tony Mowbray issue in terms of how he now FEELS about his time at Celtic with the revelations coming from Ibrox.
I have no intention of a rewrite of history but winning breeds confidence and some of the games lost to bad decisions (including the one that led to the term Honest Mistakes at Ibrox) may have given him a better chance of success, however it was the personal views of TM I was asking about..
They’re calling it a blood lust now ……where did sporting intrgrity go …. Disgustingly pathetic ….. I hope the SFL fans are as honourable as the SPL fans ….. This must not happen

Denial is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abnegation
Wanting the rules to be applied, and punishments being given if you break these rules, is now “bloodlust” according to the present discussion on BBC. No mention of playing fair or fans expecting a level playing field.
The Wembley Cup is an invitational football tournament. The first edition of the tournament took place between 24 and 26 July 2009 at Wembley Stadium, London, United Kingdom.
The winning team was Celtic, ahead of FC Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, and Al-Ahly.
Each team played two matches, with three points awarded for a win and one point for a draw. Each goal was rewarded with a point and each one conceded saw a point deducted

ayrs relegation from division 1 would be recinded? as newco will be dumped into div 3 and ayr would remain?
Kevin Kyle completely missing the point that it’s only ‘dragging on’ because the new club are involved.
Ally McCoist says no player has told him they intend to reject a transfer of their contract from the old Rangers FC to a new company.
Dont you just love Mc Coist making a lie sound like the truth he does it all the time if he is not answering questions leading with “In all honesty” or “I would be lying if I said otherwise” he is telling us the obvious as a truth when in reality we know he has not talked to ANY players yet
Only a few days ago according to Elbows Mc Culloch his phone was switched off
Now now Ally stop telling sleekit porkies what can you say to the players that makes your advice any better than what they they receive from their agents
Rob MacLean again batting for the huns “a bloodlust to punish the huns..” you better believe it ya muppet.

Tony Mowbray didn’t stand a chance at Celtic because that season was the worst ever for cheating on the field IMO.
If just the stonewall Maloney penalty was given the whole course of history could be changed.
Good comments as always m8.
No-one has even begun to apply punishment to huns.
All that everyone is saying is “apply the rules without fear or favour”.
It has been quoted 100s of times through this debacle.
Just do it.
Perhaps after doing so, we can begin to apply punishments.
