Fine if it was the first instance. But they constantly causing problems for Scottish football and, imo, bringing our game into disrepute.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And there is no attempt to say enough is enough. They are laughing at the rest of us whilst we bend over trying to accommodate them.
Let's see what happens here but I suspect this will all get ironed out in their favour, without any reprimand or penalty for their actions on Saturday, and the negative publicity its brought to our game.
I wonder what other potential sponsors are thinking about this?

Surely them signing up as members of the SPFL means they have to accept any sponsors that are arranged.
Dock them points and fine them now and put them on notice that if they do it again they'll be kicked out.

Rangers behaviour is poor but I actually can see the general point they are making.
A serious 'influencer' on Instagram can make in the region of £1000 for posting a picture from a restaurant, they can receive considerably more than that in travel perks for promoting an airline, hotel chain etc. I know someone who is flogging a dodgy diet drink who is clearing about £600 a week from social media and she doesn't have anything like the reach of some of the big names. Yet football clubs in Scotland are giving over pitchside advertising, sleeve patches, airtime on Sky/BBC/Instagram/Twitter for between £1000 and £2000 per game. All things considered I would argue the bigger clubs (and I include Hibs in that) have every right to be upset if that infringes on their potential to attract better commercial deals elsewhere. Obviously the leagues are a members organisation and as such each club has to take a share of the responsibility for the quality of the deals we can attract.
I understand the benefits of having all the leagues under one banner and organisation. However one of the drawbacks is when it comes to negotiating sponsorship and commercial partnerships. Whats is a great deal for Albion Rovers or Edinburgh City isn't necessarily a good deal for Celtic, Hibs and Aberdeen.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

This could cause huge damage to the league.
How are any future partners going to feel about dealing with the SPFL when any individual club can just look for loopholes to exploit for their own benefit? It's hardly in the spirit of things is it.
The other club chairmen should be on the phone to Ibrox telling them to grow up and get in line.
If I was cinch, I'd walk away now. I'd never heard of them before the SPFL deal so job done anyways.

The last thing Scottish football needs is two versions of the pair of them.

When there are many coach companies struggling during this pandemic why do we use Parks of Hamilton.Apart from the owner being an out and out Hun surely Hibs should be supporting a local coach company.Does not sit comfortable with me giving him our money.

You would think non-compliance would be covered in some way in whatever participation agreement clubs sign.
1st offence - fine based on the club's turnover and put on notice that failure to comply within a specified timeframe (2 weeks?) will result in the deduction of points.
2nd offence - 3 point deduction and put on notice that failure to comply within a specified timeframe (2 weeks?) will result in further deduction of points.
3rd offence - an additional 10 point deduction and put on notice that failure to comply within a specified timeframe (2 weeks?) will result in expulsion from the league.
4th offence. Yer oot. (Again.)

When you appease them you empower them and I’m uncomfortable with the attitude our club has regarding doing business with Rangers.
They’ve still not full recovered financially so make up for it with appalling behaviour. I’d not be surprised if they tried to stiff us for one of our better players before the transfer window was out.
It all still makes it hard to take them seriously - and there might actually be a half-decent point to be made by them here.
You just can’t trust a club with their track record or the people they have involved there.Last edited by Smartie; 03-08-2021 at 10:41 AM.

However, the other club chairs shouldn't be expected to do anything here. The responsibility lies with the SPFL to sort it - it is literally their job. There shouldn't have been any loopholes in the deal in the first place.

However, what can a club like Hibs or any other realistically do to "cold shoulder" them? Whatever we do to them they'll just do to us in return.
This is for the SPFL board and executive to sort out.

Ahh so that's why Rangers didn't collect their losers medals in the 2016 cup final. It was the William Hill Scottish Cup and they were sponsored by 32Red. They are touchy about these things.

I know Aberdeen have their own branded coach, which would be nice to see us have, although I appreciate that would likely cost c.£200k up front, as well as hiring a driver once a fortnight.
Still - I’m not a big fan of us effectively giving money to Douglas Park and Sevco for coach travel - especially after this nonsense.

If The Rangers aren't happy with the conditions of playing in the SPFL then they are free to beat it. Honestly, they win 1 major trophy and all of a sudden they think they make the rules.

My solution, 100k fine suspended for the first offence, doubling each offence, league games only. 700k by the beginning of September. 😁There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

Put it this way if a good Hibby owned a major coach company would the Huns use his coaches??
The whole way they have acted for ever and particularly recently is a disgrace and i personally i dont want any my small financual contribution helping to fund them.

The spfl collectively are the clubs, if any one steps out of line then they should pay for it. Points deducted is not a relevant sanction for this.There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

Rangers football club are exactly the same as the people who follow them. Always absolutely livid about something or someone. Doncaster, SFA, SPFL, Nicola Sturgeon, Irvine Welsh, Michael Stewart, Ryan Porteous. Absolute freaks.

To further put the situation beyond doubt.
SPFL rules G46. Shirts to bear logos.
If so determined by the board, the shirts of players in league matches and play off matches shall bear the logo of the league and/or sponsor on one or both sleeves as specified by the board.
A simple resolution by the board and the upstarts have to comply. 😉There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.
