  1. And for some reason they then referred to West Ham??
  2. But the reason for the package of measures is that no-one will give up anything for nothing. Clubs won't distribute money without the increased opportunity of them staying in the top league via the 4 up scenario of the middle 8. That's why the options cannot be cherry picked.
  3. I don't think the season ticket thing is an issue, I buy my ticket to see the games Motherwell are involved in. Now crazy as the new system seems I don't think it impacts my season ticket. This I year had no idea that I would see a fourth game against Ross County. In fact it might have been refreshing to have played Partick Thistle and Morton in recent weeks rather than Dundee and St Mirren
  4. Yes, you are right looking at it from the second league's point of view. I was looking at it from the position of the top league. But still in comparison to the status quo there are four chances to come up rather than one. Still don't like it but can see the arguments for and against. My biggest issue is that in the top league one or two teams will get detatched even in the first 22 games, these teams just down tools until the 'new split'. Also, what is the timing of the split with respect to the January window? i am sure your transfer activity will be linked to what league you will be in.
  5. No. if you win 22 games in a row you will not be in the middle 8 and will not have points reset to zero. 4 up gives you a better chance of a return. No? I am not defending the set up, Don't particularly like it but we need to not poke holes in it that aren't there.
  6. The thing is that I understand the need for the package of measures to get most things we want. Why would a diddy team vote for play offs (greater chance of relegation) and get nothing in return? The middle 8 givers them a better chance of returning to the top table. I understand the concept that if we all come together under this package then change will be easier in the future. I'm not certain how that change will happen if all the big decisions are protected by an 11-1 vote.
  7. If its one league body is the voting 41-1 for specific matters?
  8. Give the guy on the turnstile some money and he will let you in no problem.
  9. We ripped through Scandinavia a couple of years back.

    Dundee Game

    Just think what the scores could be if some of the team would take a shot from outside the box. Law had one go, and scored.

    Dundee

    He's the best winger I ever saw, tho he plays through the middle

    Dundee Game

    It's been a while, but who is going. 2 - 0 to the good guys.
  13. Last year the answer was Win league Qualify for champions league Win scottish cup Win league cup Qualify for Europa league Now that no. 2 has been achieved it moves to no. 4 The debate on the other thread is comparing a period of time for us to a one off event for St Mirren, on balance the sum of our high points in the past 6 years outweigh the equivalent period for Saints.
  14. Would it be the February '75 game, that finished 4-1 but I don't have the details of when the goals were scored.
  15. I seem to remember that exact same scenario against Hibs in the '70s
  16. There was but uefa insist on one place being won through the cup
  17. No the European slots are awarded on merit, champions first then cup winners but if these are the same the cup runners up take the 4th best slot, does that make sense?
  18. With Utd dropping points, the rest of my predictions sees them edged out of the top 6 by Killie on goal difference. I now have 6 of 11 predictions wrong!
  19. The scores since my guesses now mean that my prediction is 'Well 56 ICT 50 County 48 Utd 46 St J 45 pts Interestingly of the 10 games that have been played since then involving the teams vying for top six I got 5 of the results wrong - thats why i dont gamble
  20. Higdon scored his penalty in the cup
  21. Never saw a slap was it during Higdon's altercation with McPake or was it the reason McFadden went to the Ref later on?
  22. MFCTV has extended highlights which show the stud rake
  23. Do we put him back on penalties now so that he can reach his 25 goal target
