Good afternoon. Lets have a history lesson on the SPFL and their love of a non footballing vote.
History that for in excess of 10 years, repeats, regularly, in the same format, with only 1 club the beneficiary.
Incase it is the latter and you are indeed stupid - that club is Celtic.
Before you start with “yeah but we…”
No. For the last 10 years, you and the rest of the SPFL have lined up to be told by Celtic “if you vote for this, you get that”
And you lap it up, like an abused puppy offered a scrap of meat. Each and every time you fall for it.
Right now the Celtic manager is doing a Sky interview stating hes delighted with your vote as “we can get injured players back and get our new players in as soon as possible”
Remember when it was “Furra Fans” before you voted less than 24 hours ago ? Even stated as being “Furra Fans” by Mark Benstead on Sky and Gordon Duncan on Clyde.
Remember when the Celtic manager actually said “Keep Playing get on with it” over a week ago before Celtic realised they were really in the shit and the harm moving the break also does to Rangers squad ?
Lets return to the history lesson. It may help you reflect. I will avoid the precursor of Dr John Reid, Peter Lawwell, Neil Doncaster, Stewart Regan falling into place to set it up.
2012 (July) - Charles Green attended on behalf of Sevco Scotland which had bought all Rangers footballing assets from the administrators, including their share of the SPL and footballing license.
What were you told and promised ?
You were told Rangers were cheats. You were told it was unacceptable to allow them to continue playing in your league.
You were promised better access to European football that Rangers would lose.
You were told all 12 clubs would endure financial hardship together.
What did you do ?
You voted for Celtic. You voted to forcibly eject Rangers from your league.
What actually happened ?
Celtic had guaranteed league titles and used “The Cheats” coefficient points to boost their seeding and secure repeated Champions League football, earning circa £100-150 million pounds from it.
No other Scottish club won any European matches of note.
Sellout Saturday ? You’re kidding me on.
Cheats ? Rangers kept their titles. They eventually recovered to add to them.
2012 Benefit to Celtic - maximum
2012 Benefit to everyone else - zero.
2020 (March) - All global football suspended. Covid Pandemic.
What were you told and promised ?
The only way you could survive and ensure you receive prize payments was to vote to state the league as complete after 30 matches with Celtic to be declared Champions.
What did you do ?
You voted for Celtic.
What actually happened ?
The rest of Global football, chose to play football and finish competitions fairly after a delay. Presumably they were all risking their prize money by doing so ?
Celtic sat in the house with a trophy they hadnt won.
Other clubs were wronged and promoted / relegated with no sporting basis.
2020 Benefit to Celtic - maximum
2020 Benefit to everyone else - zero.
2021 (Dec) - Fans locked out of football. As they have been for most of the last 2 years.
Celtic have a paper thin squad, several injuries, every match a grind, facing the real prospect of Rangers running riot on 2nd January virtually clinching league.
What were you told and promised ?
The poor fans. Lets bring the winter break forward. They would rather sit in the house with zero SPFL football to watch on tv at Christmas and New Year.
What did you do ?
You voted for Celtic.
What will actually happen ?
As Celtics manager stated today on sky “we can get injured players back and get our new players in as soon as possible”.
Forgot about “Furra fans” a bit quick there mate ?
No fans will attend any match this side of spring. Pointless.
Neil Doncaster suddenly appears on sky “no more room for rescheduling”
Rangers will be denied international postponements they are entitled to under SPFL rule G7.
SPFL matches are not being played when there is no sporting reason to postpone. The rest of the world plays on knowing the fans just want their team to play and watch it on tv.
SPFL matches will now be played when there is an absolute sporting rule (G7) for postponement of Rangers matches.
2021 Benefit to Celtic - maximum
2021 Benefit to everyone else - zero.
So lets cut to the chase. Burrows, other SPFL lackey chairmen that like the sound of their own voice and the compliant Media men, McGowan, Duncan, Benstead.
Are you all in on it ? Or are you all just downright stupid ?
Why do you keep voting for something that is clearly of no benefit to your own clubs ?
Why do you keep presenting falsehoods and stuff thats absolutely not going to happen as fact to your fans viewers and listeners in preparation for the vote ?
This is the 3rd time in 10 years football is being decided by votes for what Celtic need to happen.
Only to then wheel out the chief orchestrators after the event (Doncaster and Celtic) to say the reality once its voted for.
The statements on Sky by Doncaster and Celtic today, were a direct threat to Rangers. Well done on making it possible for them. For the 3rd time.
Are you going to ask the SPFL to backtrack this nonsense after their brazen presentation on Sky of what you have actually voted for and enabled today ?
Or are you all in on it ?
We will never forgive nor forget 2012.
Maybe that’s why you keep doing it.
