I see a justification for yesterday’s vote has been issued. The chairman of one club spoke to several of my contacts in the media with a completely different version, using both the F word and the C word.
Apparently he believes several SPL clubs are being led by the C word – Celtic. Or to be more precise, “F***ing Celtic”, a name reserved for use by a specific demographic. All off the record, of course, but incredibly indiscrete, betraying his world view.
If that’s how you feel, man up and say so publicly. Tell us who you think is really bringing Scottish football to its knees, I am sure everyone will agree this is a time for frankness.

Basically, and apart from just spitefully wanting to shaft any SPL etc initiative(s), greengo would not have been able to / justified in hiking up SB prices if sevco were still playing the same teams in the bottom rung ….. and that would have been financially catastrophic for his pension pot……

‘Can someone please explain to me why a vote against 12-12-18 (which is what Gilmour has done) is a vote for sevco ratners fc?’
1.Clubs fail to agree league reconstruction.
2.Panic ensues.
3.Something must be done to reinvigorate the game for fear of Armageddon.
4. Campaign to fast track Sevco huns gathers support. Except it looks like this last bit isn’t going to happen.
Alternatively 12-12-18 involves Sevco huns remaining in lowest division playing much the same teams as this season. This offends huns sense of self entitlement (WATP) and therefore cannot be allowed to happen.

Anyone have Sunday’s official attendance ?
That was a good question ! searched 6 reports on the match and no attendance is given ?

ntassoolla – what type of repo ? gensaki ? buy-sell-back ? ;-)

I agree to an extent but for most the issue seems to be the nature of the about-turn by Gilmour, coincidentally after Challs popped up at our trip to SM.
That, coupled with the fact SM were forced to move after Craigy bhoys lawyer was found in Feb 2012 in the SM boardroom up to his elbows in the SM accounts – presumably without having had to force entry – would suggest that we have every right to be sceptical of Gilmour’s motives.
If you were at the FAC Rally, please leave a post to me followed by FAC.
Example.
Doc, CQNer x, FAC. Then any comment you want.
I’ll pick them up later and add them to the list, in preparation for presentation to FoCus;-)
Richie, that comment will be repeated many times now:-)
Morning all. Another wet one down here.
Has there been word from Celtic about how tickets for the Final will be allocated? Do you have to apply for one or, if you’re a SB holder, will your name be put in a ballot? Is there any criteria?

Wonder if greengo turning up at st midden was a ploy to cause controversy, thus diverting media attention from the sevco disaster….. media lapped it up..
Morning,
Starting to look forward to Sunday now. Today is when Philmac thought another nail would be driven into the Sevco coffin.
Read Gilmour comments, you would think his club was the Man Utd of Scotland and playing in front of 70,000 with the objections he says made him vote no.

Usually a ballot for ST holders, with those who went to semi final and other home ties given priority. Will probably be a 50/50 split of tickets so we’ll only get around 20k tickets. Would doubt there will be a public sale.

It’s my mates villa,, he’s had it few years now, he’s from clarkston.
Richie, none of us will be fit to drive :-)
Acgr, I’ll let my brother know, he’s a keen golfer and was a member of Aberdour.
I think he let it lapse due to work commitments.

Usually the ones who picked up tickets for the Scottish cup rounds all season get priority.
Whither the cash strapped scrofulous hillbillies the day?
2 predictions –
1 – we will get more tickets for the final than hibs because we will get all of the north stand
2 – there will be no great story coming out of Sevconia today
sundays attendance was 28,000 odd. it was announced at the game and looked about right
Ylurc- you have been missed.
I think if St Mirren wish to vote against the proposals then they are perfectly entitled to do so; what is less acceptable is for them to act on behalf of the interests of another club, which shall be nameless,as a result of pressure or inducements brought to bear by the nameless club under the delusion that Scottish football needs them, and needs them to be in charge.
Give my best to Yvick and Ymurph.
PS Nae rowies in Shangri-La for months.
I think the ‘big’ Sevco story has already seeped out over the past few days, I got the impression it was about recordings Whyte has of Murray advising him to use Ticketus, could be wrong though.
Doc, CQNer x, FAC
The FAC Rally showed how fans feel about the ill thought out nature of this Bill. It is a ridiculous and, perhaps more important, an unnecessary piece of legislation.
The Rally also showed that a small. unobtrusive police presence worked far, far better than the over the top show of strength in evidence on the Gallowgate just a few weeks earlier.
JJ
Doc, is this the kind of thing you meant?
Swatson
My view also.

mickbhoy1888 says making lists is for schoolboys… then goes and makes a list of people he thinks agree with him.
Definitely a plant.

Football without fans is nothing?
Fans of wigan and man city have complained about the 5.15 ko time for the cup final – virgin has confirmed they cannot extend train times.
The FA said that later kick offs are more popular for tv audience
Football is nothing without TV!
If your looking for something to watch for an hour this morning.
TRY THIS………….Thanks to all who posted it last night

Roy McGregor & Ross County – stated their concern over league reconstruction proposal, the selling of ST to their supporters based on new set up, said they were happy with 80% of proposal, spoke to fans and stakeholders and decided to vote against. Have been consistent in their view from an early stage of process.
Result, very little, if any, flak.
Stewart Gilmour – came out with opposition to league reconstruction proposal one week before vote, went public with no discussion with others. Change of mind occurred after Chuckles visited St Mirren Park for our game (coincidence?), this following a director (now ex) of St Mirren passing financial information to a representative of Our Hero. Gilmour’s main issue with proposal, as stated on Sportsound last week, was 11-1 voting structure. This is removed but he still votes against. Says he wants a 14 team top league (guess who else is punting this option??). He was also almost heartbroken when Sevco didn’t get entry into SFL1 last summer, though he is trying to re-write history on that one.
Result, maelstrom of flak, deeply suspicious SPL clubs over his motives, supporters of other clubs questioning link with Sevco. General perception is that he is not telling the whole truth.
Its not the no vote, its what’s behind the no vote.

Thank you for posting my name onto list last night.
Tuesday is my homegroup meeting ,so this place gets peace from me :))
Hope you are staying strong wae the fags :))
Morning,
Peter Mandelson interview earlier…..
Lord Mandelson says he is not going to the funeral. He was not invited to the funeral and, although every member of the Lords could apply for a ticket, he did not. He did not know her well and he only met her once. It was when he was appointed Northern Ireland secretary. She come up to him and said:
“You cannot trust the Irish. They are all liars. Just do not forget it.”

+++++
Not for a blinking cup final though!!!!
On the flip side of that, between those two clubs, they’ll turnover about £30m from gate receipts this season. Compare that with around £140m (all-in, inc CL money) from TV.
If their fans want to whinge and whine about TV scheduling, pass us that TV money and we’ll see where it all goes from that point onwards.

No probs.
Yip not a puff in 4 weeks!
I see Craig Whyte has sold his story for film rights!
hoopy-do
With the MT event in London today, it might be perfect timing for yet another Sercovian story to emerge – good day to bury bad news…
“You cannot trust the Irish. They are all liars. Just do not forget it.”
LOL she didn’t do irony very well did she? A British PM accusing the Irish of being liars! This is the same individual that suggested the British adopt a Cromwellian strategy and ethnically cleanse the 6 counties of nationalists during a cabinet meeting. Oh my aching sides.
TrampdownthedirtCSC
Tooting Tim – are you saying MHT may have inherited some of her father’s anti -Catholic prejudice?
So, oor hero is selling his story, in full technicolour…
“It has also been agreed that, pursuant to the agreement certain other related rights, assets and causes of action will be transferred to the Law Financial Group or directly to Worthington.
“Those assets include the book, film and television rights to the two takeovers of The Rangers Football Club in 2011 and 2012 as it relates to Craig Whyte. It is intended that these rights will be commercialised in due course.”
From STV
‘Clubs relegated from football’s top flight will receive in excess of £60m over a four-year period from next season.
The Premier League has agreed new parachute payment arrangements, although it is yet to confirm the exact figure.
Clubs relegated to the Championship currently receive £48m over four years.’
-from the BBC. This is what we’re up against, and it’s not going to get better any time soon.
Got 2 spare kids u-13 tickets for Sunday, section 102 gates 6-13. Free to a good home.
Will post them if needs be.

I thought Peter Mandelson played it very well in getting as wide an audience as possible for letting people know his experience of Margaret Thatcher and how she viewed the Irish.
Happy Ding Dong Day everyone!
Sure hope the weather lifts for all the parties today.:o)
Let the booing commence!
