I see the SFA are getting tweet after tweet about Jon Daly & Michael Higdon swearing on tv. I wonder what will happen.

I'd take a guess at no punishment. That's what Lennon got. All he got was his suspended sentence invoked no new punishment. Had he been punished he'd have got those three games that were suspended PLUS another ban on top.
 
So the SFA invoked a suspended punishment for something that doesn't merit a punishment? :p

Mr Higdon & Mr Daly should be expecting a letter from the SFA on Monday morning ;)
 
More it's because it's Neil they decided not to give him any extra punishment. This will be proved if any punishment is handed out to Higdon or Daly.

i wouldnt call winning the spl with i think the lowest tally of points in spl history, scoring the least and conceding the most of any previous spl champion would call that winning the title in style. but congrats on winning the most 1 sided race in the history of football.. also in case your wondering i support st.mirren
 
As it stands, with four more games to go, Celtic still have more points than Rangers achieved last year, so it's a moot point.

I disagree with it being particularly one-sided as several teams, your own included, have had some really good results against Celtic. The standard, with more up for grabs for the other teams, seems to have improved and the fight for second, third and fourth has been interesting.
 
Agreed - the SPL is tighter than it has been for a long time - so much to play for for everyone.

If I remember correctly, up to about 4 weeks ago, there were 8 teams fighting for a European spot.

Celtic fans and facts eh? Incorrect again Eddie. You are intact one point behind us from last year as it stands and that included the 10 point deduction for Admin.

This has been a poor Celtic season in the league.

As for being close the leave table begs to differ fifteen points clear of closest rivals does not make the league tight. All that's happens is instead of there being a fight for 3rd its now a fight for 2nd. One horse race since before a ball was kicked as expected. Even your own fans have though that what with then not turning up.

As opposed to the 13 points that Man Utd and Barcelona are ahead, or the 20 points that Bayern Munich ahead?

Put in that context, your point really doesn't make much sense does it...?

We're all far better off now that Rangers don't exist, like it or lump it.

No it was stated that the league was closer this year when in fact it's just the same it always has been.

This post is nonsense frankly.

Firstly the vote, 11-1 has never had to be used by Celtic before... ever! Also if you take the time to look up the restricted conditions you can see what they are, one of them is entitlement to home gate. Celtic, like any other business, are never going to give the other clubs the right to vote on how that is used - in fact it would be anti-competitive, the clubs might as well be owned by the SFA and a draft for players brought in as well. Why on Earth do you think St Mirren (or any other club) should be entitled to money that fans are paying to watch Celtic at Celtic Park?

And what death-grip is Scottish football being held in by Celtic? That sounds like an over-used cliche lacking substance... the opposite of what you suppose is in fact a FACT... Celtic willingly gave up prize money in a deal done earlier this year - presumable in order to strengthen the league and football overall. Do you not expect the league winners to receive more prize money than the lower positions?

I think the ownership of the SPL and drafts sounds great. You can't even get odds at the bookies for next seasons title where's the fun in that league?

12-12-18 was disasterous and the media should really be ashamed to ask Gilmour again why he voted no. He simply stated how could he sell season tickets when only 11 games were guaranteed against SPL opposition. He asked his fans and the fans said it was a bad idea. It is a bad idea.

I quite like the 14-14-14 with playoff idea. Or even the 16 team home and away with regional league cup idea with 8 groups of 4 which would mean the two extra old firm games. With only 1 qualifying to a 1/4 final the bragging rights for these games would be huge as the winner of the 2 darbies would probably qualify. It would also mean two hib-hearts games and two killie-ayr dundee and inverness ross county games derbies everywhere. Nor does it need to be at the start of the season. it could start after Oct when the scottish teams are all knocked out of Europe. ;)

It is, from 2nd to 11th. You can hardly expect after two decades of oppression from the old firm, that suddenly some other team is going to run a close title challenge, regardless of whether only one of the old firm currently exists.

Couple of suggestions for AFC

They could rent out the park to a football team to try and bring in some money.

They could sell grazing rights to their supporters.
