The SPL are going to throw the league away?

Totally sensible decision in my eyes.

I'm a bit more sceptical Jim. You've got to wonder if it will do any good.
Rangers cancelled their game against Gretna to make things easier for
themselves, thereby partly causing this problem, and still got turned over
by Lyon 3-0 on their own patch...

Nice to know that we're not paranoid enough !

Well done the S.F.A for making it easier for Rangers to scrape the title,
Don't get me wrong this is totally the correct decision but
it was also the correct decision when we were in Seville and we got SFA !

Give us a level playing field and we'll not complain, but yet again the
establishment sides with the establishment team !

WTF does `integrity of the competitions` mean? I am truly baffled on that
one and that isn't a dig at you Liam.

Surely the only way the `integrity` would be in doubt if the SPL board
decided that the league was to finish on the original stated date without
the outstanding fixtures being played?

IIRC Celtic were at exactly the same `game`. Scott McDonald ring any bells?
