I used to have a grudging respect for Roy McGregor and what he did for his club. However, that has now utterly evaporated. His conduct during this pandemic in his disregard for the welfare of other clubs and the welfare of his the players his club has no more use for by refusing to quite legitimately continue to to furlough them is a disgrace. When the chips are down his hypocrisy has truly exposed.

So now we have Dundee Utd, Raith and Cove kicking off as they say they will robustly defend any attempts to stop their promotions... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53111932 ...if they'd all done the decent and sensible thing by voting for the 14-10-10-10 restructure in the first place none of this legal wrangling would have needed to happen! You couldn't have made this up, what an utter shambles!

I’m assuming that if the courts rules to cancel promotion and relegation that Uncle Roy will tell Dundee Utd, Raith and Cove to accept their medicine 🤔

I particularity like how those clubs mention that litigation could prove financially ruinous for them. After voting to cause financial ruin to other clubs. Zero self awareness

Is this the first time a lack of a third stand has benefited us. Watch the behind closed doors games from the Layby on the A9.

It’s a total farce and embarrassment. All leagues apart from ours seem to have handled the situation. We are in turmoil. Yes, we could have benefitted from reconstruction, but that is a side issue which should not detract from the potential to have delivered a fair outcome that would not have relegated clubs prematurely. Hearts and Partick could yet stop the season starting. If their action is successful we could get further action from the promoted teams. We are past the point of no return, but we could have even more chaos next season than this. And if we get a second wave of the virus or localised lockdowns, goodness knows what will happen. What a mess but roll on 17 October if that is when the league will start! I’ve seen reference to the Betfred Cup starting before the league starts but only for the Championship. I may have that wrong: anyone know anything!

New pod feature out today called Best Eleven. First up we have Mark Ridgers https://thewynessshuffle.podbean.com/e/best-xi-mark-ridgers/

I would be very surprised, even if it was offered, if any fan would accept but nevertheless, agree that, even in the current difficult circumstances, the offer should have been made. I haven't bought a season ticket for years due to a combination of professional, geographical and domestic circumstances but will purchase a virtual one for the coming season and would urge anyone else in my position who can afford to to consider doing likewise. The club is going to need every penny it can get to get through and be competitive in the season ahead.
