Just watching the highlights of Partick Thistle v Ross County in front of a virtual Junior football crowd of 2700. It makes me so angry when you here the media take great delight when the bigger clubs get relegated. Great for Hamilton, great for the Highlands etc.. All this at the expense of Scottish football which is now a laughing stock with a top division full of utter dross with no support. Good luck to all these teams as they're there on merit but Scottish football is looking worse than ever because of it.


We have to find a way in Scotland to allow the smaller teams to progress but also protect the bigger clubs.

How about we protect ourselves and make sure we have a team that doesn't get relegated and that the bigger crowds deserve.

Partick, Hamilton, Ross Co are always going to have smaller crowds than us but they are in the Premier league on merit.

We are in the league we are through our own failings, simple as that.

Football is corrupt enough without swinging the balance further in the favour of those with money. We deserve to be where we are and clubs like Partick and County deserve to be where they are through merit and that is the only condition that needs to be met.

The real issue here is the 12 team Premiership League. If it had 16 or 18 clubs the situation would be very different.

The likes of Hibs and Dundee United would not be out of the top division for very long if at all.

The whole idea of the 12-team top division was to keep some of the diddie team out. It has certainly backfired.

Eh, naw. Big clubs need to protect themselves by winning more points on the (level playing) field. :rolleyes:
