SPFL will move with the herd, isolating angry losers

746

We received clarity from Uefa on some important issues yesterday and not on others.  Access to the Champions and Europa Leagues next season will be granted only on sporting merit.  This finally nailed hopes of the Null and Void Loyal.  If a league was declared void, its standings and results would not hold, so no sporting merit could be determined.

If Newco want access to the Europa League qualifiers, they need the SPFL to award a winner and second place, despite their protests.  Our old pal Cognitive Dissonance must keep them awake at night.

It is clear from the Uefa statement they have listened and tried to accommodate several scenarios.  Where titles are close, like Italy, where Lazio narrowed the gap on Juventus to a point, Uefa suggest a play-off system could allow chasing teams to make up the difference.  AZ Alkmaar trail Ajax on goal difference but the Dutch league is expected to call a halt to the campaign as early as today.  There are no truly satisfactory closures this season, least of all for Celtic, who will be denied a title winning game.

What we didn’t get was a hard deadline on when teams have to be nominated for European competitions.  After discussions with Uefa, the Italian league extended this season’s Serie A to 2 August, so we know for sure the European draws cannot take place until after that date.

I expect we will see European leagues synchronise their moves; there will be no incentive for any radical undertakings.  Those without rabid losers will be first to call time, the SPFL will move with the herd, as it should.  Then those who called for independent investigations into why the SPFL acted the same way as the rest of Europe will look like the angry losers they are.

    Chlorine was found 1774 in Sweden, which led to US independence two years later. So it is only appropriate for Trump to suggest this patriotic medicine to to be injected into your veins.

    Re an inquiry ‘ when we know who are involved, and what their background is….’

     

     

    Campbell

  4. Gregory Campbell given an easy ride on BBC Scotland . In fairness Tom English & Michael Stewart , who both think the process was very poorly handled , are continually stating Rainjurz should produce any evidence of wrongdoing that they possess.

     

    If only there was a similar eagerness for investigation and transparency during the days of Campbell Ogilvie EBT.

    ‘I see again my paranoia and conspiracy theory regarding the tory entryists in the labour party turned out to be true.’

    Bit simplistic to describe them as Tory entryists, though many of them obviously wanted a Tory Government rather than a Corbyn one.

     

     

    But the main battleground wasn’t over social or economic policy, it was about Israel/Palestine/Zionism.

     

     

    Unfortunately I can’t see Starmer having the inclination, or the balls, to sort it out.

     

     

    And the report itself isn’t free of criticism in that regard.

    Ernie..,

     

    the main battleground was that selected by the entryists to ensure that no social or economic policy could be implemented, that was clear to undermine the Labour Party’s chance of election, you can view this through your tunnel if you want, I’ll retain my holistic vista.

     

     

    Sir tory Starmer is part of the corruption, he is leading the suppression of the report. And lets not obfuscate, this is corruption and should lead to prison time.

    I spoke to BMCUWP yesterday, thinking he might have a contact no/address, but no.

     

    Paul67 should have an email address. Mibbe we could ask him to try.

     

    I know SOT’s Dad is in his 90’s and , I think , lives in the UK, so hope he is alright too.

    Thanks Phil. P67 if your looking in could you contact SOT to check he is OK?

    We also had the corruption sussed but there’s not much people can do about it when its one of the foundations of oppressive capitalism.

    What energized and united the people involved was how a Corbyn government would have dealt with the Middle East.

  14. In fairness to the Yanks more of them voted for Clinton than for Trump.

     

     

    It’s not their fault that the US electoral system is stuck in the days of slavery and segregation.

    Ernie..,

     

    I disagree, what energised people was the chance to get back to putting community and social governance first above the feudal cleptocracy we now suffer.

     

    Most have seen enough of socialism for the elites.

    You’re not the only one.

     

     

    This is the view of Tory journalist Peter Oborne.

    No mainstream politician in modern times has been as mocked and misrepresented as Corbyn – nor has any been proved right so often’

    The people I was referring to were the party hacks like McNicol who fought tooth and nail to prevent a Labour Government being elected.

    The report is very clear it was a lot more than party hacks, secret accounts for diverting finds to support only tory labour candidates.
