There’s a bit in a film I saw on the telly one time years
ago. A man had a gun and he was holding it to someone’s head urging him to do
something.
I though of that movie today as the SPL chairmen meet to
vote on a Rangers newco being allowed into the league. The gun is being held by
supporters desperate to see the Ibrox men punished for what they see as
cheating.
But the rub is – they’ve been punished already. Banished
from Europe and losing players like Steve
Davis, Allan McGregor and Steven Naismith seems pretty severe to me but folk
want more.
Ah, misty-eyed memories of Falkirk
winning the cup and playing footie with my Uncles and cousins in the garden at
5.30am because we were SO excited we couldn’t even sleep!
So who sets the rules for the punishment of Rangers? The
SPL, SFL and SFA have played a game of pass the parcel with the prize being
responsibility.
Were Gers to be allowed back into the SPL it would solve a
LOAD of arse-scratching and free lunches. Third division, first division,
sanctions, Sky deals, blah blah fiddle-dee-dee blah.
When we need strong leadership we get Buddy Holly airlines
piloted by John Denver.
Simple decision on Wednesday is for Celtic and all the rest
to place a yes vote in the wee box and job done, Scottish football saved and
Bob’s your Auntie’s special friend when hubby is away on the rigs.
By the way, the guy in the film got his brain blown out and
he died. Just saying, like.
