I suppose so. And we mustn't forget his squad has been decimated by the SNP's agenda against him and also Andy Walker's hurtful comments regarding Dubai. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real stake through Neil's heart is Steve Clarke's conga line in Belgrade. It's the only accusation he repeated. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me a conspiracy theory nutjob but I have long considered that they are avoiding games as much as possible in the hopes the game is "paused" - so that they then can suggest "not enough games have been played to award the title". 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a conspiracy theory nutjob! Similar thoughts had crossed my own mind, in fairness. The only counter-theory that I came up with that made any sense was that there might have been a conscious decision by the SPFL to minimise the number of games in January to allow the players a little more recovery time after a hectic December, given there is no winter break this year. Even if that was the case, it would be easy to explain. But also, surely such niceties are dispensed with given the ongoing pandemic and the priority should be playing the games within a reasonable timeframe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to get beat if you don't play. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking they dont play this weekend? Seems absolute madness but I am a bit like @craig I dont trust them one bit and seems more to this than meets the eye 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the reason they are 12 points behind not 16-18. when they play them the comfort blanket evaporates. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
