another fine mess
12:46 pm on the 10th of June, 2004The SPL is facing a potential charge of bringing the game into disrepute for its shambolic handling of the promotion - relegation issue.
Individuals and clubs have been punished using the SFA’s powers and Peat [George Peat, chairman of the SFA's General Purposes Committee] insists it would be possible to do the same to the SPL.
I think the SPL should get some sort of reprimand for the fankle they’ve got themselves into. Clyde have the right idea proposing the league be expanded to a 14 or 16 team competition, even if their primary reasons are purley selfish.

I concur. Doesn’t matter whether you think ICT should go up or not, the SPL seem to be trying for some sort of Ealing comedy farce. Disrepute is just a polite way of describing it.
Personally I’d like to see all the blazers swept away, and the SFA, SPL SFL, SJFA and all the amateur bodies come together in a streamlined aingle organisation, with a top-down pyramid league structure, so that a local pub-team could in theory end up in the Premier, and Celtic could end up in the Parkhead Recreational Lge Division B. Unfortunately the emblem of this fictional body would have to be the winged pig born on the same day.
