SPFL will move with the herd, isolating angry losers

746
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    And did he receive more votes than the republican candidates?

     

     

    Perhaps you should do a bit of reading and find out how it is that a US president can be elected on a minority of the votes. Just what it is about US history that allows such a thing to happen.

     

    ==============================================================

     

     

    Utterly irrelevant.

     

     

    The unanswered question. OK. Rhetorical .

     

    Who complained about the U.S. electoral system when Obama won ?

     

    Perhaps you need to do some reading to discover why the US electoral system was changed.

     

    A clue. JFK was elected on the number of votes cast.

     

     

    BTW . How`s the Cuban ” election ” going ?

     

    :-)

    Remember having to go back and tell my uncle Frank they don#t sell “secret Service” fags, only to be reminded to go buy “Senior Service”, big riddy man

  11. lets all do the huddle on

    reading all this historical chat about fags is actually very relevant now

     

     

    ive never been a smoker but actually quite like the smell of fag smoke and pipe smoke and cigar smoke. but from the boozers, bookies and niteclubs back in the smokin days then the smell of your clothes the next mornin was minging

     

     

    and dont get me started on snogging a burd that smokes

     

    no problem in the dancin when your pished

     

     

    but sober? no thanks. breath stinks. clothes stink. hands stink. hair stinks.

     

     

    anyway why it is relevant now is because we we are now all in lockdown. we have had so much of our freedom taken away from us and the economy is in tatters. and the argument is that peoples lifes are more important than than all of those things

     

     

    which is correct of course

     

     

    but why is smoking, bevvying and even driving a car allowed?

     

     

    all of these things cost so many lives per year and cost the nhs fortunes

     

     

    but they make the economy fortunes as well

     

     

    so are they not examples of where peoples freedoms and the economy supercede folk dying?

     

     

    who knows

    I’m sure the Cuban elections are continually going great, where locals choose a representative to attend regional councils that identify their needs. These regional councils select a national representative who attends the national council and identifies the regions needs and priorities.

     

     

    These have worked since the revolutions and as yet for all its military and economic resources turned against Cuba in an attempt the overthrow the system the USA and capitalist world has failed.

     

    In fact, worse with the intelligence resources poured into the country the USA have also failed to provide credible evidence that the population are unhappy with their form of government.

     

     

    So, I’d say the elections in Cuba are fairer and free’er than the USA, UK or Australia where elections and politicians are bought and paid for by the highest bidder.

    I could see the Celtic end at hampdump from our kitchen window. After a game there we would go up on Sunday looking for ginger bottles – finding the stopper was the difficult bit. Got 3d for every bottle -made I few shillings

    GENE,

     

     

    I would sneak in to Clydebank juniors matches and collect empties throughout the game. In those days the juniors attracted large crowds as well.

    The Grauniad.

     

     

    The solution they propose in common is quite simple – replace the convoluted electoral college with a direct national popular vote that would hand the presidency to whichever candidate garners most votes across the country. That may look straightforward on paper, but the practicalities of switching to a new system are daunting.

     

     

    To change would require an amendment to the US constitution which is much easier said than done. Not only would both the House and Senate in Congress need to approve the change by a two-thirds majority, but three-quarters of the individual state assemblies would have to ratify it (38 out of 50 states) .

     

     

    “A constitutional amendment is out of the question,” said Alan Abramowitz, professor of political science at Emory University. “There’s no way to get two-thirds of the House and the Senate to support an amendment of any kind.”

    Has anyone met anyone from the US that voted for Trump, I’ve got family and friends all over from the East coast to the West and no one that I know did.
