I've never really seen the point in slagging players too much, aye the odd shout or so, but it's not the players who pick themselves to play! the manager should get any criticism for selecting the players.

TBH, if Scottish football just lets this go then I fear we will never get another title any time soon!. The corrupt cabal/SPFL are getting away with total corruption all to please one club, accepting the whole voting fiasco has damaged Scottish football for good, allowing clubs to be relegated with 8 matches to still to play fucking stinks, legal action to bring the cabal down is the only way to at least start on a level playing field, if not and they are allowed to continue then what is the point?.

On the surface it seems we have the best deal available, and when you watch the video and listen to the talk it does seem exciting, however as always the proof is in the pudding. What exactly happened with the Ashley deal? I can't remember!!. Also the Hummel deal? I think my brain is letting me down ?

mdingwall Administrator Today at 12:45 PM #1 Since Leslie Deans interview on Sportsound last Saturday then I have been In regular contact with Les. Les contacted me personally this morning via telephone and asked me to post his official letter to our chairman outlining his views on court action on his behalf. Can everyone please share this on all social media platforms to spread his word as his request? many thanks SJ I have copied and pasted his views verbatim and have removed his personal email address for obvious reasons. As follows:- In my opinion, There are a minimum of 3 grounds which would entitle Hearts, Partick Thistle, Stranraer and perhaps Rangers, to institute civil court proceedings against SPFL and the clubs who voted to expel the first 3 clubs. Firstly, the clubs formed a common purpose. In the case of the premiership , that was to play 38 games against each other with club 12 to be relegated after these games were played. A common purpose creates a duty of care to each other. The actions of certain other members breach that duty. Additionally the SPFL must act in the best interest of all member clubs and I believe they have failed to do so. Their actions and conduct are set out in the dossier prepared by Rangers. The excuse given for abandoning the current campaign is that they want to start a new campaign, excluding Hearts from the Premiership. The chairman of SPFL has stated he hopes this can happen by July. By committing to a new campaign with a different membership , before the existing campaign is complete , a breach of duty occurs. Secondly, there was material non disclosure by SPFL in their briefing pack to clubs on April 8. As I understand it, no reference was made to the potential rebate claim by broadcasters if the league was called early. Additionally no other options than early termination were presented to clubs who were told this was the only feasible option. It was not. By their actions and omissions SPFL did not act in the best interest of all clubs. Thirdly, the SPFL motion was not passed. Dundee FC were not legally entitled to change their vote after it was cast. The motion failed and no further motion has been put to the clubs. SPFL are acting illegally. The pursuers only need to convince the court on any one of these 3 grounds to win the case. If so, the following remedies should be sought 1- Interdict against SPFL starting a new campaign until the current one is finished, whenever that might be. 2- damages for actual and potential financial loss stemming from their expulsion. 3- the expenses of litigation. Yours Faithfully Leslie Deans

Agreed, the Rangers fans have more power than the club to hurt these clubs but choose to continue to feed them the blue £ allowing these clubs to continue kicking Rangers at every chance they get!.

Wow! I never knew that, thanks, now I understand

AT A TIME when we should all be looking forward to celebrating the start of our 150th anniversary, Stranraer FC have found ourselves thrust into the media spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Particularly at an unprecedented time of distress for nations across the globe, this ongoing situation should certainly not have brought such adverse scrutiny. The SPFL resolution that has been the subject of much debate which ultimately condemned both ourselves and Partick Thistle to what we felt was an unjust relegation. As you will all be fully aware, on Tuesday there was an EGM of all SPFL clubs that was initially requested by Rangers FC, Heart of Midlothian FC and Stranraer FC whereupon, we called for an independent enquiry into what we collectively felt was a genuine grievance concerning the due governance of our game. We have consistently stated that the original resolution was fundamentally flawed, therefore we wanted to allow for a comprehensive investigation to source true learning outcomes from the process to date. Ultimately, we failed to get sufficient numbers to carry the day however, 13 (thirteen) clubs from all levels of our game did vote to what they considered to be cause for concern, with a desire to highlight failings of a proper process at board level. There have been various persons suggesting that a line is now drawn on this matter, and we subsequently now move on for the greater good of the game. If I may state, this is an extremely easy analysis to arrive at when you have no concerns, nor were adversely affected by actions of recent decisions. I make no apologies for the fact that it is not in my nature to concede all too easily, or indeed remain silent, nor accept any decision that I feel is unjust towards our football club - a club that I am extremely proud to serve as chairman. As such, I intend, with the full backing of my committee, to explore all avenues in order to properly redress, with fellow likeminded clubs to achieve what I believe is the righting of wrongs on so many fronts.

I am guilty of posting some articles from the Record, I never click the link, I did stop for a while, however during this period of the SPFL voting fiasco these articles that were quicker than our official site so felt it was worth while at the time. I don't intend posting any more from them. However the way most clubs have and still treat Rangers with utter contempt I think our travelling fans feeding them the blue £££££s is far worse than posting articles from the Scottish gutter press, IMO. Time to starve them of cash, but it won't happen.
