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.

“In every big hoose, a dimwit.

He’s a financial analyst?! Ha Ha Ha. We used to call them gamblers in the old days of yore…
Clearly no brains required for that job.
Hilarious post on Phil’s blog……..
The Green Scorpion said to the Buddie Frog
“If you ‘elp us get across two divisions I’ll ‘elp you in’t future”
The Buddie Frog was scared but desperate for some scraps
“But what if this comes to bite me on the arse, me and my buddies will die”
“If I ah can’t get across two divisions now then we’ll both die”
The Buddie Frog was satisfied that indeed believed this to be true so allowed the Green Scorpion to get onboard.
Half way across the Green Scorpion stung the Green Buddie, and the Green Buddy knew he and his buddies would surely be no more
“But why?” Said the Buddie Frog
“Because it’s in us nature and ah told you what you wanted to ‘ear, now sign ‘ere and give us stadium and t’name.”

You were a busy man that day, I said hello,shook your hand and paid up.lol
I’ll be at the next demo all things well and introduce myself in a less rushed manner.
Apologies
I see someone had already sorted Fanad spelling..:-)
From the BBC site. A bit long but there have been many comments on here regarding the matter so I thought I would post it:
“St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour has threatened legal action against those who claim he sank league reconstruction talks in a bid to favour Rangers.
Gilmour joined with Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor to vote down Scottish Premier League plans for a new 12-12-18 set-up.
“These rumours sound like a conspiracy theory,” said the St Mirren chief.
“Any club official who would suggest such a thing, we would look at it legally because it is slanderous.”
“We made it perfectly clear in our statement issued last week that we were against the league structure proposed”
St Mirren statement
Following the SPL meeting, Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne hinted that Gilmour had an “agenda” behind his decision to vote against the proposals.
Hearts chief executive David Southern suggested St Mirren concerns on voting structures were a “smokescreen to protect other people’s interests”.
Had the plans for the new league structure gone through, Rangers would have remained in the basement league, despite having already won the Third Division.
With the status quo prevailing, the club now run by Charles Green will instead be promoted to the third-tier Second Division.
But the St Mirren chairman said: “The St Mirren board are only interested in what is in the best interests of St Mirren Football Club and that will always be the case.
“It’s ridiculous. This is a club that voted Rangers into Division Three, voted a director off our board because of alleged links to Rangers.
“We are also a supporter of a 42-team solution for Scottish football, not an SPL2, and that would therefore have no short-cut for Rangers back to the top-flight, so where somebody would get the idea that we were doing this to help Rangers is beyond me.
“I would add that Charles Green did attend a game at St Mirren Park. But, like any director, chairman or manager from any football club, when they make a request for tickets by email, they are shown the same hospitality by the club as any other representative.
“During Mr Green’s visit, there was no discussion about league reconstruction. In fact, the only thing we did speak about was agents, players wages, etc.”
Meanwhile, St Mirren issued a statement defending their decision to vote against the restructuring package.
Milne and Southern had expressed surprise that Gilmour had not been placated by an offer to reduce the 11-1 voting structure to 9-3 for the make-up of the league.
However, St Mirren said: “We made it perfectly clear in our statement issued last week that we were against the league structure proposed and also that of the proposed 11-1 voting system.”
The Paisley club said that they wanted a 9-3 majority to be extended to other areas, such as the distribution of finance, squad sizes, under-21 player rules, season start dates and salary capping.
St Mirren said they were disappointed to be accused of self-interest, saying they had taken the decision after consulting their fans, who were against the idea of splitting the two top leagues into three sections of eight midway through the season.
“We are very grateful for all the messages of support we have received not just from our own fans but also from supporters of many other clubs who did not wish this proposal to go ahead,” they added.
“We firmly believe in our heart and in our head that this is the correct decision for Scottish football.”

Funny…… a true bastardisation of the story about the frog and
scorpion.
RRC
……and you left that “someone” off your list 0:-))
weeminger thanks for drawing out the fact that burgas works in the licensed catering business. I suspected as much. They’d rather charge for water.
Regarding share disposals, one cannot have a buy without a sell. Seems obvious.
A REPO (repurchase) agreement is when I sell to you and agree to buy back at some time in the future at an agreed price, and you agree to sell back to me at that price on that date. Although these trades may break market rules they are enforceable in court, and commonplace.
Where they do break the rules neither party is likely to become a whistle-blower. Reneging just means trouble for everybody.
The city slang for these things is called “bed and breakfasting”.
However I must emphasise that I am in no way whatsoever suggesting that rangers or their appointed market makers or agents would even contemplate a dubious deal.
I’ve no idea what is going on with shares in new govan. I’m simply pointing out one way of creating an impression of activity and interest.
If anyone knows who is buying and selling all these shares could they please enlighten us.

Apparently so
JJ
Interesting that no one actually mentioned Rangers ….yet Gilmour considers it necessary to distance himself from them
Slanderous….wrong country Gilmore
Doc / Sipsini
You two have reminded me of a character from a few years back … shake hands ;)

Provi man ??
JJ
Oops, in my defence I C&P’d just before you posted
But, yeah, sorry there, fella :-)
The Boy Jinky, no haitches, noted.
No funny handshakes when I meet Sipsini btw!
PF
It would indeed be a bit of a Freudian slip but, in fairness, we are not privy to what was said in private. Where is the drink being consumed on the 27th? Has a venue been selected yet?
