    It’s just noise.

    When it starts winding you up, it’s time to chuck it.

    Lets look at their track record.....we died but we are the same club......no cups or league standings count while we was in lower divs.
    Moronless is worth 50 million.
    I can see how null and void but give us the cash fits right in.:76:

    I like to remind Victim Care FC that they walked away from their responsibilities and paid out * all to the families of the 66 people they were responsible for killing, as per Judge Lord Irvine Smith’s conclusion.

    Ask them what the club owns and what the company owns.

    Ask them who are the committee members of the club and not the company.

    Expect a blank expression.

    You’ll get used to it being repetitive and going round the houses, and that’s when you’ll see the futility of it.

    Biting isn’t the issue as long as you don’t let it get to you, after a few sherbets or otherwise.

    It should be mandatory to wear a blood pressure gauge whilst on social media.

    It’s knowing when to step away also.

    Like I say, nothing gets to me but I’m a seasoned campaigner, and it’s learning behaviour.

    Never argue with a * as they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    I started out getting wound up as well.

    Anyway, it’s a win win situation for us.

    The only thing to be determined is WHEN we’re awarded the title.

    Let the ‘noise’ dissipate.

    Take a deep breath.

    Goodnight folks.

    That patter about titles not counting because they weren’t in the league is the kicker for me. Must have missed that bit where titles only count when one other team is in the league. So does that mean if we, * forbid, had a shocker of a season and we’re relegated (I know, I know, won’t happen any time soon!) that if they won the season while we were relegated, it wouldn’t count?! Clutching man. They are a right laugh these days and the thing that’s killing them is that they can’t accept the fact they are just a middling club now, with no structure, no money, and no fiscal responsibility. It kills them that other clubs don’t give a * about them. Everything is either a slight on them or a * conspiracy. What a laugh, I hope this drags out just to enjoy the tantrums and statements escalate as their wee super squirrel savers account empties over the next few weeks.

    They think they were hard done by as their phoenix club (which they are one) was not allowed straight in the premiership. In England (a country they seem to like more than everyone who actually lives here) they have to start in tiers 10 or 11. They were actually treated really well but they can never see it

    The fate of the SPFL's proposal to end the lower league seasons early rests with Dundee, who are the only Championship side not to have voted.

    The league has the necessary backing of 10 of the 12 Premiership clubs, and 16 of the 20 in Leagues One and Two.

    As it stands, nine of the 10 second-tier sides have voted 7-2 in favour.

    But with eight votes needed for the resolution to pass, Dundee will have the decisive say having missed the requested deadline.

    The SPFL wanted responses by 1700 on Friday, but it later emerged clubs had 28 days to respond according to league rules.

    Dundee, who sit third in the Championship, released a statement on Friday evening which did not mention which way the club intended to vote, but did criticise the proposal.


    It said: "In contrast to so much positivity and support, the language in the current proposal condemns clubs to be financially worse off than they already are as we sit here today. This has been difficult to accept.

    "Fundamentally, we believe that in these exceptional and uncertain times, no member club should be worse off as a result of this proposal than they are today. The current proposal will see member clubs cumulatively have in the region of £3.5-£4 million pounds of lost revenue."

    If passed, the resolution will end the Championship, League One and Two seasons early with the Premiership curtailed only when the SPFL board determines the current campaign cannot be completed.

    The league had also committed to dialogue with clubs about possible league reconstruction if the resolution carried.

    Rangers, Hearts and Partick Thistle have all publicly condemned the resolution.

    Rangers said they were going to resubmit their own proposal to free up final placing money to cash-strapped clubs without calling the Premiership season now, after being told by the league that their initial resolution was legally "ineffective".

    And Dundee called for similar action, adding: "In all cases, current placement monies could be distributed to the member clubs in very short order while maintaining all SPFL obligations.

    "Make no mistake; we would have to work quickly and diligently to ensure that members' current needs are met and that the democratic process is followed, but it is achievable."

    Well if we follow their logic no cup ever should be handed out unless its celtic v rangers final and every round need to be celtic v rangers and for that matter every single league game played and the same would apply to every league in the world.....if the top two aint playing it does not count....hun at my ex work used to try and debate that current 9 IAR will not count because we have more money than them.:39:

    Remember to tell them that they were only promoted to the premiership through the divisions because we weren’t in those leagues.

    I would love to see the analysis Dundee have done to come up with a figure of £4m if lost revenue, beachside intuitively it sounds way, way off.

    Obviously it’s impossible to say without know long the details, but a £4m hit is massive for a club in Scotland. My gut feeling is they’ve come up with the £4m figure by comparing the SPFL’s suggested course of action to a scenario where football is resumed as normal and the season is concluded.

    They want a sweetener.

    Chancers.

    Projected income that will never happen.

    No clubs are getting any turnstile income for the rest of the season.

    I hope they go bust first.
