candalan Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Does anyone agree what a slap in the face to ICT that the tic put a reserve team out. Totally unprofessional, and should be against the rules of the SPFL. I thought all teams had to put out the strongest team available! Rules !!!!! Of course they don't apply to tic! The right result though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphallsaint Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Not just a slap in the face to ICT but to Scottish Football. They should be fined and docked points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixties saintee Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thats why they have a squad, but if you listened to that t wat coyle at the beginning off the match they were world beaters and streets ahead of ITC, they expected to win and it blew up in there faces.

The right result though. A manager surely has the right to select a team from his squad of players as he sees fit. Who decides when a manager doesn't field his strongest team available anyway?? If somebody at the SFA thought O'Hallaron should have started today instead of Spoony, do you suggest we would get fined?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 According to our Stuart on "Off the Ball" Saints will get £104k if Celtic qualify for the Champions League proper so they can play who they like against ICT so far as I am concerned so long as they beat Maribor.  Anyway listening to John Shughes you would think ICT had just beaten Barcelona not a Celtic reserve side and even then they needed a scrappy own goal.

Barty1884 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Not sure how it works for the SPFL, but the only time I ever remember the 'weakened team' rule being enforced was the English Premiership, and that was then revised (2011/12 I think).  I don't see how it was every right to be enforced in the first place. Shouldn't it be the managers discretion as the what team to field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastered Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Not sure how you can define a weekened team. If all the players are part of a first team squad, then any can play at any time, irrespective of how large the first team sqaud is. The accusations start flying when 9 or 10 non-regular players are selected, so the assumption is they must be weaker than the regulars. I would be quite happy if Celtic fielded a team of ball boys.  And on a slightly different subject, the banning of a player for cheating (sorry, simulation) affects diddy clubs like Saints because they only have a small squad, whereas the Tic have a huge squad to replace him. This is as good a reason as any to deduct points from teams as well as 2 match bans.

Cagey Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Not working so far. Maybe they should have played their weakened team. Johanson & Berget ??? are poor . Can't believe Commons not playing. Get the finger out Celtic we have over £100k at stake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) At least Celtic will not be £15million better off. Van Dyke away & Ambrose at centre half. Chance for another team to win league. Pity we have already played them as there is a load of shit in that team.

HOODLUM65 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Aye as I said on a different thread what a difference it makes to Sellick when there is a neutral referee who does not award free kicks and penalties for dives. The better team won on the night. Edited August 26, 2014 by HOODLUM65 sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintscotty Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 What's better than seeing the look of disappointment on the faces of Celtic supporters as they crash out of the Champions League? Seeing it twice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
