I'm encouraged by the words and statements from lots of SFL clubs thus far. On face value it would seem that most are opposed. Certainly it seems that the "deal" on the table, apart from anything else, offers nothing to the 20 (well now 19 I suppose) 2nd and 3rd Div sides who will also miss out the visit of hun scum twice a season. However a lot of statements have only made a qualified rejection of the "current" deal. The incentives (bribes) and league reconstruction (league fixing) offered isn't attractive to enough of them. There is a long week where this deal could be adjusted, pressure put on and fucking cunts like Regan, Doncaster, Traynor, Keevins et al spouting bullshit about Armageddon, social unrest, a Tsunami of shit and meteor strikes. AFC have done so well in all of this, I just hope the actions of others, including other SPL clubs claiming to have up held sporting integrity, don't end up making me have to choose whether to turn my back on them and the rest of the Scottish Game. Hold firm SFL

Well that's the way I read it but it still fucking outrageous, especially when you consider "rangers" history of social unrest and even more so given the likely social unrest their scum fans will inflict on every club over the next few years who voted No, are deemed tarrier, enemies or on the list

The first 20mintues were radio gold. I then spent the next 40mins sitting in the car in the gym car park listening to Jim try to win the argument by shouting loudest. Twat

That is the most outrageous thing I have ever seen. "Social unrest" if they don't get their way. Words fail me

Sport is a reserved issue, they have no jurisdiction

Only caveat I would add is that some rangers players have already signed for other clubs so presumably they have approved some transfers, perhaps there is a particular issue with this transfer

one set all

fuck me it's coming thick and fast this PM SPFA http://pfascotland.co.uk/2012/news/statement-on-issue-of-itcs-to-players/

St Mirren Statement

fixed

That is probably the first reasoned statement I have seen come from within rangers/rangers (ia)/rangers (deceased)/seveco since the started. Better late than never, well done that man. Sounds like cockwomble and ?killie/celtic went scurrying off to try and turn the vote around when everyone else was against it and seveco were willing to speed the process up by withdrawing their application another reason for cockwomble to go

Alternative Saturday plans temporarily on hold

Chris McLaughlin [!]8207;@BBCchrismclaug #SPL 10 votes no to Newco. Celtic abstain, Green yes

Elsewhere:

Yep his miserable little tour of radio studios this morning telling us the vote was to be delayed, that there was a motion to allow them in this sanctions is now proven to be bulshit. Either he was deliberately lying and spreading false rumours in which case he must go. Or he is operating against the wishes of the majority of the SPL clubs in which case he must go. I trust the SFL chairmen will all realise what this charlatan is about and ignore his prophecy of doom when they vote next week

Phase 1(fuck that took a long time) DONE Phase 2 - sfl to tell newco, cockwomble, regan and the rest to go fuck themselves

Motherwell FC ?@MotherwellFC At today’s General Meeting, SPL clubs today voted overwhelmingly to reject the application from Rangers newco to join the SPL. OVERWHELMINGLY FUCK YOU DONCASTER FUCK YOU

I'm reading that they have voted NO!!!!

St Mirren - who have held countless meetings with fans and been open about their concerns, even if they seem misguided Ross County - new to all this, poor sods must be wishing they were still in the sfl, what a way to start your first season at the top of Scottish fitba Aberdeen - most outspoken of all the spl clubs in recent weeks and likely to come out of this with significant credit rest of them - shysters

Absolutely. I would not hesitate to back the club fully if they made this decision. The SPL needs destroyed, not expanded to SPL2, not merged with SFL, wiped from the face of this earth. That statement from Clyde is excellent but shows the depths to which Regan and Doncaster were willing to stoop and the complete lack of consideration of the fans and their views.

But one of the conditions for having the SFA membership transferred, and/or acceptance into SPL/Div1 was having a signing ban was it not?

WOW!!! Quickest reply to an afc email ever!!

Well in my email to afc, see other thread, I suggested if the rest of the spl stitch this whole thing up perhaps the SFL should walk and afc join them. Not sure about breakaway league but consigning the SPL to history/a rump west coast league would be pleasing. Infact what about an East Coast League. That would awesome

If the worst happens I'll walk from SPL football. Depending on how the SFL behave I could be tempted to watch some lower league football, they have been shafted as much by the actions of the SPL as anyone else. Failing that I would probably go watch some Junior football, Polok are just round the corner from me and would probably provide more entertainment for a quarter of the price than afc do at the moment anyway
