Scottish Premier League

Proper mess up there with the original vote and follow on.

The SPL are a ****ing shambles.

See Hearts plan of saving themselves from relegation is unlikely to work.

As the Cowdenbeath chairman has said its completely self serving

They have been utterly dreadful but there is definitely an unpleasant stench coming from the governing body

I've been to a few Hearts games this season, and they have in the main been ****e, however they had begun to get better, and 4 points adrift with 9 to play were still in the hunt.

What has happened totally stinks.

And the plan to resize the League was a decent one.

BBC reports that the son of George Gillette has had a bid for Hearts rejected

Lucky them. They have suffered enough. Although was he not the more reasonable of the two?

I think he was the one that initially fell out with Rafa and Hicks. Then Rafa buddied up to Hicks for a while until they fell out.


I could be wrong. It's a time best forgotten

Cool, I've seen loads of images of Tynecastle through the ages, but not so many of Easter Road.

I used to work right next to it. Kind of below where that shot is taken from (wonder how they got that shot?).

My Aunt used to go and watch Hearts back then, and she said in those days you would go to Tynecastle one week and Easter Road the next, also at Half time, everyone would swap ends.

Whilst we will never get back to that, I do feel some of the camaraderie amongst opposition fans is missing. The faux/pantomime hatred gets very tiring.

Here is an old pic of Tynecastle, it didnt look much different the first time I went to a live football match in the 80's.

Best ground in the Scottish Championship

What a shambles it has been.

Partick got ****ed over more than Hearts did. The SPFL (Neil Doncaster) are an absolute joke.

Knew you'd bite.

Yeah the entire situation is shambolic. Suggestions are they rushed the end of the season as the new TV contract kicks In and they didn't want anything to jeopardize it.

I've obviously got a vested interest, but genuinely I'd feel the same if it were any team. If Liverpool had won the PL on a PPG system it would not have been the same, because, it's not what teams signed up for.

I read an article by Tom English where he was saying apparently Barry Hearn was a guest speaker at a SPFL do once, and he ripped into them, too much astonishment. Basically said he can sell out venues for sports you cant even see properly (Darts and boxing) and that for the SPFL to not be able to attract a sponsor was an embarrassment.

He is not wrong.

Sure she didn't mean try and take an end.i.e. the opposing fans. Used to be what hooligans did back in the day

Don’t think my Aunt was an early casual... but you never know.
