"The monkeys start to squeal, lie and create conspiracy plots" - Scottish Football 2012/13

Not often he gets to see them on the telly, so willing to suffer streaming of Rangers TV to allow him his opportunity rather than stepping inside the Poundland Arena.

Is there a separate trophy for "most exciting semi final" or something?

Bet the final's a load of pish now.

Come on the Hibees. Don't think my brother in law would be able to cope if they lost again.

St Mirren and Ross County voted no to reconstruction- think that means the 12-12-18 thing is dead in the water

Celtic angry about it as are the sheep

I'd like to get righteously angry about two wee clubs holding back the whole of Scottish football but regardless of their motives their vote was correct. The 12/12/18 to 8/8/8/18 thing is absolute guff.

Am I correct in thinking that St Mirren used the 11-1 voting rule to prevent the 11-1 voting rule being changed after they objected to the 11-1 voting rule?

they lied like the snivelling cunts they are about all that.
i hated the league set up but everything else was needed more. St Mirren and County voted to preserve more money for themselves. Probably terrified of losing a home game vs celtic (and the rangers once they get up)

scottish football is fucked. Its dying.

And yet... The 12/12/18 to 8/8/8/18 thing is absolute guff.

I don't really understand the deal with the 12-12-18 thing, so I'm against it

8/8/8/18 thing

Any set-up that so closely resembles 1888 would be objectionable to most right-footed-minded football fan.

s

"During the meeting, and in an effort to break the deadlock, an amendment to the league's rules on voting was proposed. This major and progressive change would have allowed future league structure to be determined by a 9-3 vote, rather than the current 11-1 majority..... Unfortunately, this amendment was also defeated in principle on a show of hands, with the same two clubs voting against."

Comedy gold.

the same two clubs who said keeping the 11-1 voting system was the major reason they were going to vote against it.

See yer man is after resurrecting SPL2 again.

Les? He's obsessed with that. Fans aren't so keen on it.

it all feels closed shop. a league has to be bigger with more promotion/relegation spots. None of this 1 up/down or 1 up/down play off pish. 2 up 2 down and if you must then a play off for another like in england with the winner playing 3rd bottom team. Play offs must not be designed to keep current spl clubs that season in spl.

Bonkers

That is completely batshit.

Still, let's keep on blaming two sides for it not being rushed through.

Campbell Ogilvie's being brought in to help them come to a consensus. That'll help.

Also, Neil Lennon cops a three match ban for calling a fanny a fanny. Disgraceful behaviour, down with this sort of thing, etc.

he had a suspended sentence, he got in trouble again so he serves the suspended sentence.

For calling a fanny a fanny.

a fanny calling a fanny a fanny

If being a fanny is grounds for a touchline ban, the touchlines would be kind of empty imo.

´It is clear that this decision will have huge repercussions for the game in Scotland and we are sure Hampden Stadium will be a very busy place now every Monday morning.

Zing!

(I hadn't read that when I posted earlier)

And... Neil Lennon threatens to empty the dugouts every week:

http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/celtic/222088-neil-lennon-warns-storm-coming-as-he-vows-to-report-all-swearing-to-sfa/

so he wasn't banned just for saying "fanny"

"Well done Jim," he said. "Well done Jim, you're a f*****g hard man, eh? You f*****g f***y. F*****g f***y."

He wasn't banned for saying anything.

Worth remembering that no-one ever swears at anyone during a football match ever, and that Neil Lennon is a disgusting savage who needs to be kept away from sensitive players like Jim Goodwin who would never retaliate by calling Neil Lennon something similar or worse. Oh, no, wait...

good point onimo, it was the previous thing he got banned for. Who reported him anyway?

Still considered enough of a transgression to allow his suspended punishment to kick in.

Reported by two St Mirren fans, I believe.

Where I say "I believe", I mean I believe them to be St Mirren fans, it was people in the crowd as opposed to any officials.

Anyway, I've got a title decider not involving Celtic to not watch tonight. Worst fucking post-split fixture decision ever. Thanks, authorities, you're really good at running football for the fans, aren't you?

Glasgow derbies next season. Well done to Partick Thistle.

(& poor The Ton, put up a good fight all the same)

In other news, Auchinleck Talbot and Linlithgow Rose went through to the final of the Scottish Junior Cup today.

Dodgy looking guy is favourite to become Rangers chief exec

Also Serie A club Catania are after Johnny Russell :)

Well done us.

Yay us. Literally never in doubt. I watched it at home with a horrible hangover for company.

All for goals were scored with the "wrong" foot today - 2 lefties for Hooper, 1 for Samaras and a right footer from Super Joseph Proper Midfielder Ledley.

I didn't notice ICT had scored until five minutes after the game finished.

I was supposed to be kicking my absence record into touch today with my dad, but logistics of a 12.45 kick-off meant it was never going to happen.

Sky News twitter missed the ICT goal as well, reporting a 4-0 win for Celtic despite their own cameras covering the bloody thing.

Neil Lennon jumping about in the stand pointing at his left foot when Hooper scored made me smile. Best bit of TV commentary, Crocker and Walker were discussing the iffy offside call against Stokes. Crocker says something about it being too close to call, Walker says you can't blame the linesman for it, unspecified third voice says "aye you can". Dunno if they'd turned on the mikes on Broonie in the studio or what.

I might have to lock this thread for the good of my sanity.

Congrats ye both! (And to the jillions of lurking jags/doonhamers/huns)
