mental, who were the 2 premier clubs? thers a new question to chuck in there
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aberdeen and Hibs I would have thought.
Don’t know why it’s another question to chuck in there though, would it not be completely up to the clubs what way they decide and whether or not they changed their mine before voting? Wouldn’t think that’s unusual for people to change their minds.

I reckon Aberdeen is easy. I'll assume Hibs were the least committed to no, and when they announced yes the game in premiership voting was up. Aberdeen decided fine just pay us then.

This is where I get confused with people’s stance on things though. They say that the SPFL shouldn’t have released the details of the vote last Friday for whatever reason, but don’t have an issue with clubs making statements before the vote detailing how they were going to decide. Now, folk want people to say why they possibly changed their mind?! Surely you either want the vote to remain confidential or you don’t?! And if you do, then their reasons should remain confidential?

Dundee are just throwing out unnecessary chaff to muddy the waters of clubs feeling like Dundee betrayed them by claiming that somehow they were double crossed too.
Was it not reported that Aberdeen and Hibs were planning to vote no?

Yep. There’s only so much you should expect to take.
By all means criticise and question but some of the “demands” and “allegations” are beyond ridiculous now.
Starting to think they should just all resign and tell the clubs to fwcking get on with it themselves.
Be like a football match without a referee. Let’s see how well they do.

You are talking about a hypothetical situation where the vote was managed properly though.
The problem is they did release the details. They opened the can of worms.
This really is a sorry debacle from start to finish.
Here's how i see it.
Celtic want the title awarded to them without finishing the season mainly to get the money flowing and not because there is any realistic prospect of them not winning it. They though have the fear that UEFA will make the null and void call which is what forced them to pressure the SPFL to come up with this attempt at a resolution rather than have 9IAR killed by COVID.
The SPFL have been nothing short of a disgrace from not making it known the money worries could be eased by means other than calling the season. That was criminal, then the pressure applied by the vote count been given before it was completed was nothing short of blatant corruption, trying to sway the vote.
Rangers imo aren't particularly interested in the season playing on but are hoping it will be called null and void by UEFA to screw Celtic over.
Hearts, Partick and ICT would be happy to play on, Hearts maybe would prefer a null and void call as well if money was protected.
Dundee have been nothing short of a disgrace, legally they have voted so this show that has went on since last Friday is nothing more than a distraction that has turned people against them. The reconstruction they want will be blocked if they vote yes, it will be blocked if they vote no. They are wasting time when clubs need money. No sympathy for them whatsoever.

I can go with most of that with the small exception that I think that UEFA will demand that leagues are called with winners and losers.
There may well be a fear within Celtic that they won't to be fair but Celtic have done the right thing by not making statements as such.
Here's the thing for me and said the same Friday.
Dundee believe that no club should be worse off. Admirable.
There is a pie of benefits in Scottish football. The vast majority of the contents are cold, hard cash. For some club to not suffer from the negative financial impact their sporting performance merits there must be an equal financial impact to the clubs whose sporting performance does merit it.
Unless, of course, Dundee have stumbled upon a magical way of making the pie bigger that has eluded the best ideas of the authorities, clubs and sponsors up to now? Doubtful.
IMHO this is nothing more than asking for more of the pie. I would the phrase more equal but that gets misused when it is the former that people really mean.
Posters on here have called for that same more money down the leagues. Fair enough but it should be clear it is funded almost entirely by two clubs.
Exactly
And where do these clubs think they should be borrowing from exactly? The prize money.
So the creditworthiness and ability to repay has to be taken into account before handing out that cash.
The whole setup is antiquated. An organisation run by committee only worked when the members had some semblance of respect for each other and accepted committee decisions. In this day and age no-one accepts anything that is not to their liking. The answer would need to be one independent controlling body that runs the game free from outside influences.

Thing that jumps out is that regular tobacco smokers are 14x more susceptible to Covid. You’d have thought that the gov would be making a bigger deal about that though maybe they need the revenue and for Covid the damage has been done anyway?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Marijuana shops are an essential service in Quebec.
Not in Ontario.
They are owned and operated by the gov. in Quebec so all profit in gov. coffers but privately owned in Ontario. Both govs. run the liquor stores in their provinces and both provs. are keeping them open.
Think it's their only revenue these days.

They don't get too much from me in fairness as I make my own wine and drink "imported" gin and whiskey
‘ They though have the fear that UEFA will make the null and void call which is what forced them to pressure the SPFL to come up with this attempt at a resolution rather than have 9IAR killed by COVID’
Couple of things-I don’t think UEFA can force the SPFL to change their rules or force them to null and void a season. Secondly, it wouldn’t kill us from still going for 9IAR.
I wish when folk said ‘null and void’, they realised what that actually meant.
‘ You are talking about a hypothetical situation where the vote was managed properly though.
The problem is they did release the details. They opened the can of worms.’
No-I’m talking about what actually happened. Clubs did release their intentions, and no one criticised them. The SPFL did release the details of the vote, and were criticised.
You don’t want the SPFL to have released the details of the vote, but you want to know what teams changed their mind and why? You want transparency, but not when it doesn’t suit your position.

That Dundee statement was not helpful in any way shape or form and was IMO only released now as the SPFL meet at 5pm.
That meeting will now be muddied further by that statement and although it wont be on the agenda there will be chit chat gossipy schite about Parks demands that is poor timing to release that pash btw.
The utter petty schite between clubs some of it over a few grand has been pathetic, Ivory tower schite to masquerade over their own self-servient agenda.
Anyone buying the help protect the clubs that will be relegated schite is a fool.

Unless, of course, Dundee have stumbled upon a magical way of making the pie bigger that has eluded the best ideas of the authorities, clubs and sponsors up to now? Doubtful.
IMHO this is nothing more than asking for more of the pie. I would the phrase more equal but that gets misused when it is the former that people really mean.
Posters on here have called for that same more money down the leagues. Fair enough but it should be clear it is funded almost entirely by two clubs.

Exactly
And where do these clubs think they should be borrowing from exactly? The prize money.
So the creditworthiness and ability to repay has to be taken into account before handing out that cash.

The whole setup is antiquated. An organisation run by committee only worked when the members had some semblance of respect for each other and accepted committee decisions. In this day and age no-one accepts anything that is not to their liking. The answer would need to be one independent controlling body that runs the game free from outside influences.

Thing that jumps out is that regular tobacco smokers are 14x more susceptible to Covid. You’d have thought that the gov would be making a bigger deal about that though maybe they need the revenue and for Covid the damage has been done anyway?

Marijuana shops are an essential service in Quebec.
Not in Ontario.
They are owned and operated by the gov. in Quebec so all profit in gov. coffers but privately owned in Ontario. Both govs. run the liquor stores in their provinces and both provs. are keeping them open.
Think it's their only revenue these days.

They don't get too much from me in fairness as I make my own wine and drink "imported" gin and whiskey

‘ They though have the fear that UEFA will make the null and void call which is what forced them to pressure the SPFL to come up with this attempt at a resolution rather than have 9IAR killed by COVID’
Couple of things-I don’t think UEFA can force the SPFL to change their rules or force them to null and void a season. Secondly, it wouldn’t kill us from still going for 9IAR.
I wish when folk said ‘null and void’, they realised what that actually meant.

‘ You are talking about a hypothetical situation where the vote was managed properly though.
The problem is they did release the details. They opened the can of worms.’
No-I’m talking about what actually happened. Clubs did release their intentions, and no one criticised them. The SPFL did release the details of the vote, and were criticised.
You don’t want the SPFL to have released the details of the vote, but you want to know what teams changed their mind and why? You want transparency, but not when it doesn’t suit your position.

That Dundee statement was not helpful in any way shape or form and was IMO only released now as the SPFL meet at 5pm.
That meeting will now be muddied further by that statement and although it wont be on the agenda there will be chit chat gossipy schite about Parks demands that is poor timing to release that pash btw.
The utter petty schite between clubs some of it over a few grand has been pathetic, Ivory tower schite to masquerade over their own self-servient agenda.
Anyone buying the help protect the clubs that will be relegated schite is a fool.
