    UEFA To Step In?

      Teaser Paragraph:

    According to the BBC Website, "UEFA might step in to sort out the promotion-relegation wrangle plaguing Scottish football". European football's governing body has said it wants the SFA and the SPL to resolve the issue. But a spokesman said "We will help solve the problem if need be".


    Caley Thistle in Europe ? ... well not in the way we wanted ...

    According to the BBC Website, "UEFA might step in to sort out the promotion-relegation wrangle plaguing Scottish football".

    European football's governing body has said it wants the Scottish Football Association and the Scottish Premier League to resolve the issue. But a spokesman said "We will help solve the problem if need be".

    The full story can be accessed on the BBC website at this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/3793679.stm

    This action follows George Peat's comments that the SFA could potentially charge the SPL with bringing the game in Scotland into disrepute. Individuals and clubs have been charged with this in the past, but it has never happened to an entire league.

    Lex Gold was quick to dispel Peat's comments by attributing them as a personal opinion and saying that he understood that the SFA had distanced themselves from the comments.

    This story gets weirder and weirder, and it looks like the period from June 22nd onwards will be filled with meetings, legal wranglings and ultimately one team will be absolutely devastated at the final result.

    June 1st - SPL deny ICT promotion June 1st - SPL change seating criteria to 6000 from season 05/06 onwards June 2nd - SFA confirms it will hear ICT appeal June 3rd - SPFA call for change June 4th - Hibs and Hearts call for a new meeting of the SPL June 4th - Partick offer to accept relegation for 1 million pounds June 9th - Dunfermline and Dundee Utd suggest ICT should be allowed to play in the SPL in Inverness June 9th - Clyde ask SPL to consider making the top flight 14 or 16 teams from next season June 10th - George Peat says SPL could face charges of bringing the game into disrepute June 10th - UEFA indicate they might become involved 'if necessary'

    The saga continues .....
