Yesterday here in Ireland, many of us were remembering where we were 22 years ago when the news came through about the peace accord.
It was Good Friday, 1998.
For those of us who were, in some way, a child of the Troubles it was our JFK moment.
At the time, I was a journalist with An Phoblacht, and this gave me a fascinating vantage point to see hope and history rhyme.
Even so, it seemed impossible that some sort of rapprochement could be reached that had Gerry Adams, David Trimble and the leaders of Ulster Loyalism in the same room.
Ian Paisley and his Democratic Unionist Party were angrily ensconced outside the gates of Stormont screaming about betrayal.
In time they would realise that the only way to influence a process is to be part of it.
Eventually, they came in from the cold.
This image above all others signified that the old Orange State was dead.
The old days were gone, done with a thing of the past.
Despite that auspicious anniversary yesterday, one which is redolent of a historic accommodation, Planet Fitba couldn’t step up.
Dundee has yet to cast their vote, and the Dens Park club will now decide the entire process.
David Low is usually a chap to take note of on these matters.
I wasn’t surprised to learn this morning that the SPFL board are now eager advocates of self-isolation.
Despite strenuous efforts today no one ion the Scottish media have been able to contact anyone within that august conclave.
The phones are off.
In the historic talks at Stormont over two decades ago, the importance of deadlines was a key factor.
Senator George Mitchell played a blinder in the chair.
However, sequencing was also crucial.
Yesterday the SPFL seemed to have got both of those wrong.
Firstly, I’m told that the 5.00 pm deadline was incompetent given that clubs have 28 days to cast their vote on any resolution.
Secondly announcing at 5.55 pm a result before all of the votes were cast was nonsensical.
This was akin to some sort of half-arsed exit poll being released to the media while voters were still queuing outside of the polling station.
It made a mockery of the entire process.
In these grim times, we need any distraction that is available to us.
A source of mine thought it hilarious that anyone in a position of power at Ibrox could suggest the creative use of loans while keeping a straight face.
Despite reports in the mainstream to the contrary, no one in the Blue Room has tested positive for self-awareness.
Indeed, the entire stance of the Sevco High Command on this issue has been redolent of Espanyol Glasgow.
At least they’re slowly coming to terms with their altered circumstances even if they do not yet fully realise it.
2012 changed everything.
What occurred at Stormont in 1998 was genuinely historic, and it shaped the Ireland that my trio has known.
Twenty-two years ago, my youngest was an infant.
Today she is ready to step into the frontline to fight for her people
One a personal note after my I shared the scéal I was flooded with good wishes for Baby Doctor.
I can’t thank all of ye personally, ach míle Buíochas!
This is the year of the plague.
After this, all is changed, changed utterly.
Consequently, working out how to end a football season in Fair Caledonia is utterly irrelevant in the scheme of things.

Dundee FC seem to be the only ones enjoying social distancing. You could not make this up. First, we had the Mean Girls Whatapps group. Show me yours and I will show you mine. Then Rangers going off the deep end on the basis of false information. Though to be fair, given what they had been told, you could see why. I hereby solemnly swear that the vote I sent was the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Er……hold that line. What the hell was the SPFL meant to do with that? Then of course Rangers were left looking like idiots and having to hold an indefensible position.
This thing may reemerge in the new season so there has to be a whole raft of decisions. If the SPL goes back it could reinfect the population on a single saturday afternoon. Celtic at home, Rangers in Edinburgh, Aberdeen at home, etc etc. A few individuals in these crowds using public transport and we could be back to square 1. Neil Doncaster is not going to make that decision. And he is probably grateful about that. We may not see crowds until 2021.
They also need to decide before the start on the minimum games to be played in 2020-21 if the season is not to be N&V. A Fall reemergence of this bloody thing is highly possible. What happens if we get 4 games in and…….Closed doors may not work given how this thing operates. We need to concentrate on what is to come and staying solvent. Otherwise there might be one league left.
In my opinion it would be wiser to introduce a 14/16 team top tier and align next season with the Swedish Top Flight which is due to start late March early April.
This would/could allow for this Seasons games to conclude plus have a winter shutdown and a start to Summer Football.
That aside what this situation has proven beyond any doubt is that Football is being run very badly as a Sport because even the rich Clubs around Europe are getting hit hard with losing so few games in reality.
Truth be told some teams would be better amalgamating and polling resources rather than living hand to mouth on a monthly basis in Scotland.
Less Clubs yes but you could argue more resources going towards less outgoings and most likely improved gates.
I’ve always been of the opinion that at some point the bubble will burst in England and those Clubs living way beyond their means would be found out.
Well it looks like that time has come.
The Players and top paid staff Clubs in Germany,Spain and Italy are taking proper wage cuts.
Not so in England all they are doing is deferring the wage and therefore kicking the can up the road a bit.
Clubs will got to the wall and it is only their own fault for putting themselves in this position in the first place by pandering to player demands and paying ridiculous sums to what are essentially greedy mercenaries.
If they had a single iota of loyalty to the badge they kiss a cut in wages would be an honourable gesture.
This is a watershed moment in the modern game.
Fans are now seeing Football for what it actually is and has become.
Some may never want to return if the game doesn’t start showing it cares more about them and it rather than how much they can get from them and it.
Celtic need a new bus.

In democracy the majority vote tends to be the rule of thumb.
How can it be that 85% who have already cast their vote be held up by one Club?
Pathetic and Shambolic seems to be the order ( no not that one) of the day when it comes down to Scottish Football deciding anything.
33 FOR 6 AGAINST
Seems to me to be a fairly straightforward decision.
Oh but no…
I keep reading comments from other Celtic fans referring to Rangers as having been liquidated. Past tense. Rangers are STILL in the process of being liquidated. It still has some way to go.
It will probably go on until the liquidators fee accounts for all the money in the pot leaving the face-painter and the others who are out of pocket to whistle Dixie.

HH
SPFL conversations regarding what to do with the season started four weeks ago. Mr Robertson was heavily involved in all communications.
Pro Rangers men in the media and former players went to work on the league restructure angle. It’s all Rangers can offer, you scratch my back I’ll scratch your back. Rangers would back Hearts not being relegated plus two teams get promoted to form a 14 club top league. In return those clubs should back the Rangers resolution and approach i.e. Null and Void to stop Celtic getting the title.
Dundee have woken up to the fact, being third, they’re not going up anyway. Patrick Thistle are Sevco light and do as they’re told by Sevco. ICT need this to go up.
Sevco have coalesced a selfish cabal to strip Celtic of their title. Did PT (10th position) receive an inducement? Or with two going up do they get to stay in League 1?
40 out of 42 clubs have voted.
One Club in the Championship is to vote (Dundee).
One club from the lowest two leagues has to vote but their vote is not required as the resolution is passed in those leagues.
The overall YES vote is 85%.
The SPFL voted 10/12 YES.
The Championship voted 7/9 YES plus Dundee has to vote.
League 1 & 2 have voted to pass the resolution.
Only Dundee need to vote YES to carry the Resolution.
I don’t know if Partick Thistle and/or ICT can change their vote to YES and carry the day regardless of Dundee.
In fairness, one of the three of them has to vote YES to carry the wishes of 85% of the joint SPFL.
Have TRFC thought through the implications of declaring the season null and void ?
If the SPFL do that, there are no champions so there can’t be a runner up – ergo there are NO Scottish clubs eligible to play in EUFA tournaments next season.
The money is important to them but their hatred of Celtic drives their need to destroy Celtic’s title. To stop those deserving players getting their medals.
If the SPFL declare the season Null and Void I will be suing the SPFL for four season tickets refunds.
I will be suing the SPFL and their bookies for my lost wagers. All recorded online in my account.
Better hold on to those club prizemonies in the event of such a position.
Do you not find it kind of ironic that it was Dundee who replaced Rangers in the top flight after they were liquidated and that it was Neil Doncaster who subsequently declared TRIFC were the same Club after the 5 Way Knuckleshuffle was signed?
Weird how all 3 are now at the centre of this omnishambles of their own making is it not?
What a stramash it would cause if a copy of the Sevco voting slip appeared, accidentally on purpose of course, with a YES vote on it. LOL
Lol the Klan on FF are demanding the season be null and void still but want their club awarded the champions league place oh dear. Apparently their club has played a blinder calling out the corruption at the SPFL. The days are flying in at the moment and each passing day they get refused money from which ever lender be that SPFL or anyone else daft enough loan the cash is another day nearer to the new clubs GRAVE . This is a squirrel story the challenge to the SPFL . The bigger story or the bigger picture is admin in the coming weeks if not days . Get all the gullibles focused on this effort against the SPFL then sneak out admin name the SPFL the guilty party for not releasing prize money or the loan they are asking for . A loan that when admin gets flagged up has no chance of being repaid .
They are screaming null and void the season as they know admin is waiting on them if the season is completed . Now is it a 15 point deduction or 25 point deduction all depends what team your shouting on here oldco or sevco .
They claim to be the same club, so -25 points, please!! I’d imagine that, with this pandemic, shares in Walls and Rowntree will have taken quite a hit, so it would be a good time to buy shares now, and watch their value shoot up when sales of jelly and ice cream go through the roof.
According to the SPFL the voting in the Premiership is 10-1 in favour of the proposal, with one club still to submit a vote or a possible abstension. No one seems to be analyzing this info, for I would think that the 1 would certainly be Hearts. Could Sevco, while telling the Klan they are totally against the motion, actually have voted for it, they do need the money more than anyone else after all, or is it just my bad mind?
I know their histrionics since do not suggest that, but are they still just playing to the crowd?
After all there is nothing logical about Sevco.
Null and void the season. No problem. Take whatever prize money is left after sponsors/TV take back all or some of their contribution, split the monies proportionally across the 4 divisions as would normally be the case.
The 12 clubs in the top divisiont then split their windfall equally, as will the clubs in the lower divisions.
Next season, if it takes place,will see Celtic going for 9 IAR though no doubt Rangers and their media chums will be claiming that a void season still counts as 1 for reasons only known to themselves.
Only split whatever prize money is left after every fan in the country who bought a season ticket for ANY club is fully reimbursed.
When the going gets tough Rangers can always rely on their lackeys in the media,
Scott McDermott is leading the Null and Void case today whilst attributing much of his article to Mikey Devlin as vice chairman of the players union.
As far as removing Doncaster I have no issue with that not just for the current shambles bur for his overall contribution to Scottish football and he can take Maxwell with him.
Neither will be missed.
The thought of 10 IAR doesn’t just terrify Rangers and their fans. McDermott and his ilk have no problem showing their true colours. Add the quadruple treble to the list and you can smell the fear rising from his article.
80% through the league season,3 Scottish Cup games to be played and Rangers lackeys want to write off the season as if nothing has happened.
Yet almost in the same breath the same feckin eejits want to distribute prize money based on current places.
Aberdeen and Motherwell could still overtake Rangers for 2nd place bu that doesn’t suit the narrative that the likes of McDermott is pushing.
No doubt we can expect more of the same from the obedient Scottish media as they desperately try to hang on to their ever diminishing readership.
.
If it was sent, the Dundee vote didn’t arrive at the SPFL.
Dundee have not resent it/ sent it for a first time/ nor have they confirmed anything at all.
I fail to see where the SPFL have gone wrong here. Any criticism of the SPFL appears libellous.
The entire issue rests with Dundee sharing an intent with others then not doing that.
It’s entirely nothing to do with Sevco. It’s a Championship issue.
If anything it looks slightly dodgy that Partick. Dundee and ICT were in this Whatsapp group. They could have been pressuring one another to vote a certain way, and Dundee went against it saying that they can think for themselves/ use their position s leverage.
The ICT guy who went straight to the public grass up about the three way Whatsapp cabal and Dundee’s vote was NO is an interesting focus.
Going public with Dundee’s signed vote and all that. There was real anger, frustration and bafflement that his plan hadn’t worked.
Dundee woke up to what was going on. ICT and Partick Thistle we’re getting something out of it. Dundee were getting nothing.
Check out the Dundee FC statement:
https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/club-statement-24/
Dundee’s issue is money. All clubs losing a cumulative £3.5m-£4m. Reads like a shakedown on somebody but where are COVID19 losses to be made up from? Government? UEFA? Celtic? SPFL/SFA?
Anybody seen big fat DJ recently not writing for the evening ranger and not even a special guest star appearance on radio snyde a know he left them a while back . He must be still stuck in ibrox eating all that food that was left over when our game with sevco there was cancelled recently . He usually likes to bump his gums . Another one over there taking a coin and lining his pocket . KERCHING . No wonder there is no cash over there in that place all people want to do is ponce of each other .
The Rangers, teetering on the edge of oblivion, absolutely stink of desperation.
Delicious desperation.
⏱. . . . . . 💣
They just stink. Full stop!
The new Staunch regime could have heralded a bright vision and some ‘blue sky’ thinking. But naw. Dave Dastardly, for all his dodginess, must be glad to have sacked them Muttleys right off. For the avoidance of doubt, they’re not playing with a full deck 🙂
If the Dundee vote is null and voided then the SPFL has 9 from 11 YES votes that’s 82%, so that’s the motion carried.
If Dundee vote No then that’s 9 from 12 YES votes or 75%, so surely 75% carries the Resolution in the top tier?
Dundee aren’t in the ‘top tier’. Dundee are on the Championship.
Rangers * are showing their true colours as they embody the spirit of their Everyone/Anyone initiative to bring peace and harmony to the world !
Everyone /Anyone is welcomed with open arms at Ibrokes – but first , ”Gie us the F*cking money !”
DUP-Rangers really really hate CELTIC. The End.
I think Sevco are going down in flames- administration on its way with the excuse that they went out in a blaze of glory using the last of their money to fight the corrupt bullies in the SPFL. Their gullible fans will cheer them on… until next season when they find no club left.
Still falling for the virus thing Phil? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5wn1qs_bBk You really have to join the millions waking up to the lies and do research away from prescribed Mainstream ‘news’. Lead the chase please.
Dangerous Nutter Alert!!!
I would like to ask that woman her views on Dementia, nobody dies from it but its the cause of the final heart attack, stroke, coma. What does she write on that death certificate? What about HIV? Again HIV doesn’t actually kill but it will break down the immune system casing death other ways! Does she just dismiss the HIV part when she is writing her certificate!
You really should try reading for a change and not spend your time believing every bit of rubbish you see on YouTube.
But if you insist on watching YouTube videos for educational purposes then go look up flat earth. I promise it will be just your kinda thing. 👍
Dont forget the Leigh Griffiths “bendy water” video!! 😂
A GP who conducted her research on Facebook……. only in America…..
That was going so well………………until she got to the podium. HH
As a genuine neutral in this old firm continual horror show, I can only imagine what would be going on/be being said if the shoe was on the other foot. Potentially the “league” has leaned on or influenced a club to change a vote. Probably quite a big deal. But to ignore it and move to the usual old firm what aboutery (Rangers and Celtic paranoid to the end) is just bizarre. And very blind.
No evidence of that at all. Please don’t point to any agenda driven nonsense The Daily Radar might print.
Robertson’s position on the SPFL Board is untenable after attacking the other directors there with an accusatory abusiveness rant. He doesn’t have SPFL behaviours.
The SPFL has had an open and democratic voting process. One club one vote. Sevco hate the result because they hate CELTIC. That’s about the total length and breadth of it.
Celtic have done absolutely nothing except vote with one vote. No statements or anything else. To call it an Old Firm Horror show is wrong and erroneous.
No club had any chance of beating Celtic this year. No club. Celtic have won it fair and square.
Spot on, every word.
Just like we have the past 8.
The SPFL and SFA should call their bluff and ask for their Interim Accounts to see if that might be their overriding factor in causing so much trouble at this time.
A time where our game much as our private existence depends upon clarity in an unfolding,constantly moving situation.
If you’re a genuine ‘neutral’….,
Then please don’t use the term ‘Old F*rm’.
It’s only used by those who want to perpetuate an extinct rivalry.
No such thing as “Old Firm”.
Celtic have deliberately not got involved. Celtic have voted, Celtic have said that they would prefer to play out the season and the manager has said he thinks if the season is cut short then he believes his team should be declared champions.
Who else should be declared champions if not Celtic?
Regards the lunatic ramblings from Ibrox, it’s simple, they are short of cash but if they agree to declare Celtic champions then their fans will turn on them and not buy season tickets. By whipping up a frenzy of victim mentality they have guaranteed themselves their season ticket money.
The only club causing trouble here is them, but it’s timing that’s going to concern them. They need the SPFL pay out and they need a huge uptake on their season tickets now. If they get the ticket sales they can ride out their entirely manufactured squabble with the SPFL (which one of their directors is on the board of), if tickets don’t sell as hoped they will either go into administration with a ready made bogey man in the SPFL & Covid-19 (illogical but it’s Sevco we are talking about here) or they will have to relent and face the bullets and bombs from their own support.
I ask this question;
If Sevco were 13 points clear in the league and Ross County were rock bottom, do you think there would be any whisper of Null and Void and the endless procession of ex Dead Cheats FC tax evaders saying it’s the only thing to do in the name of sporting integrity?
Their behaviour by using a global pandemic which is killing tens of thousands before their time across the planet is abhorrent, shameless and is worthy of utter contempt.
Not in Scotland though, they are supported and encouraged by the mainstream media. They should be vilified for their behaviour, outed and shamed. The problem is the pesky Tims keep winning and establishment Scotland doesn’t like that, so their spoiled brat of a second football child is left unpunished as it throws its tantrum kicking and screaming in the sweetie shop till it gets its greedy mitts on what it wants.
Shameless twisted evil, shame on them.
I see the zombies have launched a petition to have Neil Doncsster removed now! It’s just as well we’re all on lockdown, otherwise there’s a danger of serious injury from toys being carelessly thrown from the pram!
A bitter bloo fan has started a moan fest petition for other bitter bloo fans to gang up in. Nobody cares!
Let’s all gang up on DONCASTER and he won’t be able to take it. The boring old stuff. Fannies.
None of them can articulate what he’s supposed to have done wrong let alone provide evidence. Petulant children.
Park, as a new Football Chairman, came out with abhorrent allegations. Primarily to show he’s as tough as weeping King. That he can fill newspaper columns, help sell the DR and be a source of stories. The Rookie Football Chairman has got it very badly wrong and he could now be responsible for clubs going to the wall. Was his DUP Media stooge advising?
The world knows it’s sour grapes, sabre rattling, impotent nonsense from an impotent club and it’s puerile support.
A petition to boot Alasdair Johnstone out of football would be more appropriate.
No need for a petition. If his name was anywhere near the infamous 2012 Rangers UEFA licence application his record breaking wait for Fit and Proper status from the SFA can be ended and those brave chaps at Hampden can pass the evidence of major criminal fraud to Police Scotland.
Why this hasn’t happened previously is anyone’s guess……brotherly love?
Just what is the problem with Johnston’s Fit and Proper status?
There is a huge story behind this but the Scottish media just won’t go near it.
Has it perchance anything to do with the fraudulent UEFA licence application back in 2012? Who signed the paperwork on behalf of Rangers?
If so why has the SFA failed to go public, why are they still dithering over Johnston’s status. Has he actually failed the test and the SFA has decided that result is not to be shared with Scottish football fans?
Why have Police Scotland not been called in to investigate?
Why has no one been arrested?
Is there more than one individual involved in the plot?
As Super Ally would demand ‘ we need to know who these people are.’
Of all the things that have come out over the last 8 years, the EBT scandal, the attempted cover up, titles transferred to the new club, the 5 way agreement, the fraudulent licence application is a criminal act for which those responsible are still walking our streets safe in the knowledge that they are being looked after.
Some of them are still involved in Scottish football which makes it even more ridiculous.
The SFA know who did what when. The current SFA Chief Exec has his hands clean with regards to whats gone before, whats stopping him pressing the nuclear button and outing the cabal participants?
Sevco’s latest statement regarding the spfl whistle blower is utterly risible. How the hell can anybody with an iota of intelligence believe any muck that emanates from that stadium that John Brown played for? Please for the love of god let this bastardised concoction of hatred die soon.
Happy Easter to all, and god bless
To be fair to the SPFL the 28 day response time is in normal circumstances. In these pandemic times of skint clubs needing money due to zero games, waiting 28 days could kill off a Sevco or two.
I’m sure the SPFL communicated to the clubs a 48hr deadline to try and get cash to them all ASAP.
If one club is the hold up then I’m sure that can be resolved. Peer pressure is a grand thing.
I’m sure Dundee or whoever will be receiving communications from 37 clubs shouting for their money.
If the SPFL re-issue the vote on a 28 day timeline, clubs could go bust. Who could possibly try and criticise the SPFL in such circumstances.
ST uptake for next season will have collapsed across the board.
Celtic and the Ibrox club/company/thingy have extended cut off to 31st May.
Till how this season ends no one will be spending £400/£500 on a ticket for next year.
Who will suffer most from that? Probably Celtic and Rangers. Will leave it to others as to who is most likely to survive the impact.
Close Bros, King, other clubs due transfer fees, Sports Direct, Memorial walls, for a starter all want a slice of the Ibrox S T monies. Oh and Genk want £4.5m for Hagi, dream on.
SPFL enquiry, bin Doncaster?…… they and their fans are like 5 year old kids who have been denied a sugary treat. Lots of noise to take attention away from the financial reality hurtling towards them.
The SPFL, Coronavirus, the haters, all will get the blame whilst Kingco and Murray get the usual free pass.
Although far and away the two biggest clubs in Scotland , to compare them financially –as your view that Celtic and `Rangers` will probably suffer most suggests– is very far off the mark. Celtic are ridiculously far ahead of every other club in Scotland financially and `Rangers` are ridiculously more in debt than every other club in Scotland.
Time to remember the huns that this aint ulster and if they dont like it then they can go fuck themselves
Phil please correct my submission. My head is telling I referred to Neil Donaldson, when I meant Neil Doncaster. HH
On checking Wikipedia I learn Mr Donaldson, a Celtic supporter, was appointed as CEO of SPFL in July 2013 to destroy Glasgow Rangers…’FFS.
Oh dear sevco have gone MENTAL here shooting with all guns blazing . Once again playing to the deluded how bad are things over there when they are pushing this out today from Parks obviously pressured into it with some serious brown stuff coming down the pipe . Calling for sackings and that they have proof or evidence which raises concerns of the process took by the SPFL board really where is it then show the world if they had this evidence or proof the daily ranger or evening ranger would be running with it . Bluffing once again all hot air for the Klan . Looks like they are threating that wee black book again with its secrets or the 5 way agreement . As I said previously all this is bad publicity for the new club and certainly for Slippy not good for him image to be caught up in all of the new clubs shenanigans . As I said he is off you wont see back there . To much turmoil at sevco for him to be in the middle of it . BYE .
If the season finishes now then, logically, clubs will only be entitled to that proportion of the prize money for the matches they have completed. If the season is declared null & void then clubs should receive no prize money because the season didn’t happen. Makes sense.
Exactly what I’ve been saying. If the league didn’t take place then no one finishes anywhere, in any place, in it. Therefore no one gets the money for that place. The one they didn’t finish in. If any money is to be dished out then it has to be shared equally between the clubs.
Or better still. How about using it to pay back the season ticket holders for the money they forked out, buying tickets for a season that didn’t happen, and THEN split any remaining money equally between the clubs.
Good luck tae that wee lassie of yours mo chara.🙏🍀✊
Rangers now calling for Doncaster’s head and an independent enquiry!
Quite right too!!.. Whatever happened to “ahem!”.. “sporting integrity”? 😂
Lord Nimmo Smith is at a bit of a loose end right now I believe!! He could do with a wee enquiry to keep him occupied. He’d be told what his findings are by the brotherhood at the outset so it shouldn’t take too long.
Still no sign of the invisible man (Gerrard) . He must also be on a sponsored silence as not a word from him for a number of weeks now . King tattie bye nothing from Gerrard on this even though King brought him to sevco . Park takes over as chairman again no word on this from Mr Me Me . And the JAM maker blows a fuse yesterday at SPFL meeting and Gerrard no joke intended keeps his distance once again . His club is in some serious brown stuff he ain’t coming back . Bye .
Actually, for once I’d cut TRFC some slack here.
…no really.
The Ibrox club is displaying the behaviour it has always shown: total disrespect for the rules and normal conventions, dismissive of other clubs and anyone who does not bow down to their demands.
In this latest instance I would place all the flack at Doncaster’s door.
The £388K CEO should have anticipated the usual BS coming from Ibrox.
He should have better communicated and organised a proper vote – and any contingency plans just in case.
Has anyone actually seen him lately?
Doncaster is not displaying any leadership qualities whatsoever.
I cannot foresee a set of circumstances where it would ever even cross my mind to cut Sevco any slack whatsoever.
As for Doncaster; the old saying applies. He’s worse than a man short.

So if there are no more home games at ibrox this season then the Klan don’t want a refund from sevco for these games they want it from the SPFL . Also the Klan want sevco to sue the SPFL for another 30 million quid as this would have been the money earned from champions league revenue had sevco won the league . Really if that’s the case Aberdeen Motherwell and every other club in the top flight will be screaming the same . There is not one person at the new club that is playing with a full deck .
Brilliant Phil, HH
I was listening to Talksport last night and that doughball Mark Donaldson was on it . He is a two bob Scottish so called journalist earning a coin in America with ESPN . This clown was cheerleading for sevco shouting about prize money getting dished out just now but telling people there is no football in Scotland until at least the end June . He then goes on to talk about a vaccine not being available till September so there might not be football at all before this year is out he said. In amongst all of this he kept going on about getting the prize money released constantly . Now this is the guy that got the job with ESPN so you wonder who failed it .
