Turnbull Hutton is turning into a real hero. Might take in a Raith Rovers game next season if I'm in the area.

"East Fife say rangers should go down to third, Berwick Rangers won't say. #rangers" "Gordon McDougal of Livingston FC says there's a growing feeling that #Rangers newco should go to division 3. #SFL" "On steps of Hampden, Raith Rovers chairman Turnbull Hutton says the game is corrupt. Says he's been lied to, threatened and bullied. " I fully trust the SFL clubs, it's the SPL I'm worried about.

I'm with Jute, I'd have preferred Milne to say that newco should be starting at the bottom rung of the SFL. His current statement is open to interpretation and caveats. If he wants them in Division 1 or Division 3 then his statement remains the same.

Any league that requires 2 specific teams to permanently be in it to protect the financial security of that league clearly has its priorities completely wrong and is a disaster waiting to happen. Any team who requires 2 specific teams to permanently be in the same league in order to help them avoid administration is being financially mismanaged IMHO and only has themselves to blame.

Squad: J Allen (Swansea), C Bellamy (Liverpool), R Bertrand (Chelsea), J Butland (Birmingham), S Caulker (Tottenham), T Cleverley (Manchester United), J Cork (Southampton), C Dawson (West Brom), R Giggs (Manchester United), A Ramsey (Arsenal), M Richards (Manchester City), D Rose (Tottenham), S Sinclair (Swansea), M Sordell (Bolton), J Steele (Middlesbrough), D Sturridge (Chelsea), N Taylor (Swansea), J Tomkins (West Ham)

Something on the cards? Saw this from Ross Hardie on Twitter: "I suspect that news is about to break imminently regarding Rangers and falsified accounts"

Very much this.

Do Adidas not do shorts with zip pockets? First time I've seen a pair of balls spill out on court since the Serena match earlier on.

Raith Rovers chairman Turnbull Hutton has gone in feet first: :clap: Sounds like he should be in charge of Scottish football, not the cunts we have at the moment.

Tremendous stuff from Clyde: http://www.clydefc.co.uk/news/2012/06/30/4134/

He's black.

No Scots in the team: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/18653453 And no Beckham either!

Do we take it from these tweets that the SFA are not on board with these proposals, and it is being spearheaded by the SPL? If so, I'll take back what I've been saying in other threads about the SFA involvement. Although its not clear whether a "senior Hampden source" is somebody in the SFA or not.

Good statement from Dunfermline: http://www.dafc.co.uk/articles/20120629/dafc-board-statement-on-revised-sfa-spl-sfl-proposals_2208030_2827302

Latest Thomo tweets: SFL powerpoint document should be met with utter contempt by all decent football fans - senior source in Hampden Pk tells #c4news Source says this is nothing less than a crude takeover bid by Scottish Premier League for Football League... Senior Hampden source tells #c4news cannot see how RFC were allowed to play last season at all. Doesn't believe they met finance criteria... Senior Hampden source: they and clubs now inundated by fanpower demanding integrity over money. Says fans are right...

Not spending any money on the SFA until newco are dealt with properly. They are all over this plan to rape the fans and dump newco into division 1. They deserve nothing but contempt if they continue to attempt to push it through. Why protect a team that are part of the problem why our National team is so shite?

Taken from the BBC story yesterday:

Helen Mirren statement: http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=13398

I'm not up for waiting for this to all blow over before Doncaster is shown his jotters, he should be shown them now, he is shaming Scottish football - in fact I'd argue for him being hung, drawn and quartered.

So, er, Nadal out!

Yeah but I smell a rat considering Rod "Sporting Integrity" Petrie has already briefed Green on the plan, so I worry we are getting taken for a ride by the SPL. I would love to be proved wrong though.

Good statement, just missing the words "division" and "3" for me.

So rather than a vote to reject newco to the SPL, the clubs are now voting to punt them to division 1? If that is the case, I think we need some clarification on how AFC are going to vote. If they vote yes to this proposal then heads should roll.
