Couldn't think of anything worse. Imagine it right now? I'd be banned within a minute

I tried it a few years back but every thread seemed to come down to which half of the Old Firm you supported - so many of them couldn’t grasp the concept of supporting another team without having Celtic or Rangers as your big team.
To be fair, when I pointed that out there were plenty of people in resigned agreement - I’m not sure why they stuck around.
I take it there’s not too many kickbackers on now as they would surely get punted for their ‘vermin’ patter.

How can Hearts/Rangers possibly have any legal case if they are now agreeing that the time has come to call the league?
For those not willing to click on their website, the headline is all 12 top-flight clubs including Rangers have confirmed they will not object to the current season being officially ended with Celtic crowned nine in a row champions.
Bur, details of the show of hands were fudged in the minutes which were later circulated around the clubs by Aberdeen, who were in charge of hosting the emergency conference call.

I don’t think some people really understand the mechanics of what a court process entails and how the strategy and psychology of it works.
First of all you do of course need a prima facile case - a case that has, on the face of it, prospects of success. Not a guarantee but us a chance. As punters we can say this is obvious but the best example of their being a prima facie case is seen in Partick Thistle’s legal opinion.
If you have a prima facie case what does this mean?
1. when you commence proceedings you won’t have it immediately thrown out on a preliminary issue
2. your opponent knows there is a risk of losing. Both sides have a risk of losing but that’s the point. Doncaster can blag away with self-censored interviews all he wants, he knows and will have been advised that he can’t guarantee the SPFL would win a legal case.
3. Court actions are public - all dirty laundry will be aired publicly, reported daily.
4. With reference to point 3 this means it is likely that most of the info that would have been dealt with in the Rangers resolution by what would have been a relatively private independent investigation will be played out in the public.
What does this all mean?
In my view, therefore, the threat or commencement of court proceedings is a huge risk to the SPFL being toppled and all the nonsense that has happened being exposed and decided upon under oath in a court of law.
In theory, Hearts needn’t win, needn’t even conclude the case (95% or so are settled), they just need to create the risk of exposure, delay and a very public bust up to create the leverage we may need to “settle” at a compromise - one favourable to us, whatever that may be.
If the SPFL can bully clubs into ending the season they can bully them into voting for reconstruction to avoid the whole thing disintegrating.
We don’t even need to have that big balls to start the process off.
IMO.

Poor dear must be shattered it is all collapsing round about her and this relegation will be VERY costly, more so than other years as there is no certainty when the championship will get started and it will be after the SPL.
So much uncertainty and she has all these players with a huge wage bill.
The guy's not been keeping up to date. It now seems it was Inverness who were doing the bullying and they were conspiring with Hearts and Rangers to null and void the league. Everyone knows how damaging to all the clubs null and void would be, opening them up to all sorts of compensation claims but those 3 clubs tried their best to do this nonetheless.
I would love there to be a court case so we'd get the details around this. We might even find out more about why Dundee changed their mind. Maybe it was them standing up to bullies.
Their trouble is that their judgement is completely clouded, they can't see the sham of the Rangers' dossier. Are they seriously so deluded that they actually believe Rangers have all of a sudden developed a sense of morality and that it had nothing to do with revenge on Doncaster and trying to either stop 9 in a row, or at the very least be able to claim it is tainted?
If we are serious about Sporting Integrity then this current debacle should be the motivation
Two clubs who have blatantly ignore this concept and tried to buy success now using the phrase to try and somehow take the Moral Highground
If there isn’t a backlash by other clubs for changing this now then when will there be

AllisBarry in the Evening News...
"Hearts manager Daniel Stendel will discuss his future with owner Ann Budge if and when the club are officially relegated from the Premiership.
His contract, which runs until summer 2022, is not valid outwith the top flight so he will be free to leave if Hearts end up in the Championship. He and Budge have yet to formally talk about whether he might stay on in that case."
Strange way to word that and, because it was written by Banderson, I'm taking it with a pinch of salt.
I have a feeling they want rid, and this is their first 'throw of the dice'.
Not a relegation release clause then? 😂
Would be an absolute disaster if they parted ways. I want more signings like Langer
