SFL Votes

Do Dunfermline deserve to stay in S.P.L. They had one of the stands closed all season.

Obviously not well supported.

If the SPL really want Rangers in the first division, surley all they have to do is deduct 100 points from last seasons total? This would result in Dunfermline staying up and Rangers being relegated.

 

When I suggested the same thing on another thread (50pts would be sufficient iirc) the response from other posters who apparently know more than myself was that points deductions couldn't be retrospective.

 

The way I see it though is that in the interest of 'sporting integrity' under mob rule, they can do pretty much anything they like.
