Cagey Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I can tell you now, that publicly, there will be NO raging statement/attack by the board of Saints aimed at the ****witts at the spfl. Saints CANNOT ( under the rules/regs of membership of the spfl) publicly criticize or condemn the spfl. If they did this they would face a large fine and sensure. i know this is not what folk want to hear ( me included) but sadly this is how it is. Now I did not speak to anyone from the board tonight but if I had they may well have said something like this perhaps...We are extremely pissed off as you can imagine. We're not allowed to publicly criticise or we face a fine. We have worded a very strong letter to SPFL but if we go public with that or even mention that we sent a letter then we're in trouble as well. Absolutely shocking. Sorry for everyone and sorry we can't be more open about our feelings. They may even have said Cockwomble was an ****ing wank.but that's me just guessing...So we live in North Korea now do we.

Ali91 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Just a bit worried at the rising temperature here, and trying to calm it down a bit with the odd jest.Apologies, a combination of anger at the ticket situation and man flu has obviously made me miss the tone of your post.

rik2304 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 How do you get one of those signature things on the go? Like the thing to ban Donald Trump from the UK Except this would be to get an explanation from the SPFL. The name of this totally eludes me! We'll never get enough signatures sadly.

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 So we live in North Korea now do we.No. We the fans can say what the hell we like to who the hell we like but football clubs cannot slate the mother ship.

Dave H Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Just a bit worried at the rising temperature here, and trying to calm it down a bit with the odd jest.But I say in all seriousness, the polis do research fan sites in the lead up to games, so please, please be careful, for the clubs sake, but more importantly for your safety. My guess is that if Saintee strays behave impeccably on Saurday, all could be well. There seems to be some goodwill from the Hibees, a decent lot, and I don't think the polis will be daft enough to dive in and start flinging folk out before any trouble, even if they know fine what is going on.It's public knowledge. If wearing no colours and behaving there is no reason why the mixed area doesn't work and could reflect very well on decent Hibs and decent Saints fans.... Alternatively if the police and stewards are dicks, then the will ignite the anger and frustrations... we can all behave but any scenes will be because of the incompetence of people paid a good wage that couldn't set up segregation in a stand that in previous events has been split.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 So if we register with an EH postcode then can we buy tickets from the Hibs ticket page without the fuss of being on the database or not?? If so does anyone have an EH postcode that I could use????Why would you have to have an EH postcode... Surely Hibs can't discriminate against their own fans that might happen to live outside Edinburgh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Saints should take a fine and get it right up the beaks. Scottish football would back them to the hilt if they publicly slated the SPFL and the absolute shambles Cockwomble and his mates are. Get it done Broon.

mainstand Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 A Hibby has responded to the story in the Daily Record:Stillmentalhibby This story is rubbish. St Johnstone would have been asked how many tickets they would have required prior to them being allocated so it is down to them not having enough. If they'd asked for say 6000 they would have been housed in the main stand and part of either of the stands behind the goals. The Roseburn already has segregation in place for league games. As for Saints fans in the Hibs stands? Give it a rest fcol. It's difficult enough for Hibs fans getting hold of tickets never mind St Johnstones. The minimum requirement needed is to be on the Hibs database and as far as I'm aware you have no chance if you haven't previously bought a ticket on it. Seems like a nothing story being built up as a slight to Saints. What a load of rubbish!!!What a complete fud this guy ishttp://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/st-johnstone-fans-hit-out-7244308#VvcwDTF0KPkGmkhW.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly78 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) If Scottish football clubs had any balls they could surely use this cluster**** as the final straw to get Doncaster out the door. Since he came into the job he's stumbled from one disaster to the next, showing he has no understanding of football and its supporters, doesn't give a toss about sporting integrity and has a complete inability to sell and publicise the club's and product he's supposed to be representing. They even had Barry Hearn tell them pretty much everything they were doing wrong and how they could change it, but they all just had a good chuckle about it, buried their heads in the sand and did **** all.Off the top of my head I can think off the Rangers shambles (trying to parachute them straight into the Premier League, declaring Armageddon and clubs dying if they weren't), his inability to secure a sponsor, and now this. He's doing more harm than good to the member clubs he's supposed to represent, but as long as he gets his Bigot filled derby back ASAP then he'll be delighted.
