northernscum Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Quite a few tweets appearing regarding Strachans comments on goals on sunday programme this morning. Apparently suggesting that something should be done to ensure that Hibs, Hearts and Rangers are all in the top flight for next season! I haven't watched it so just wondering what the real context is from those who did see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Well he's a Hibee eh, he knows the games up already... clutching at straws... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peever1745 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hearts and maybe Hibs or whoever wins the play off but bugger letting the diddy team in just because they think they are ra peeple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Its a personal opinion and he is entitled to it. There is some decent young talent across all three teams and GS wants them available for selection playing at the highest level in Scotland.

But apparently he was suggesting that the rules should be "manipulated" to allow all 3 up for next season! Surely you don't agree with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should go to bigger clubs in the transfer window in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 havent seen it but could it be as simple as he was trying to say an SPL with Hibs, Hearts and Rangers would be a stronger SPL. A stronger SPL is good for him and for the national team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Complete and utter pish. The three teams have no one to blame but themselves, if they can't get promotion fairly and squarly then tough titty From a Hibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deecie Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Correct, however a 16 or 18 team top flight is the way forward for Scottish Football Yup. 2 Leagues of 16/18ish. Regionalised below it. Can't wait for it to never happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Correct, however a 16 or 18 team top flight is the way forward for Scottish Football Could be motherwells only chance of avoiding relegation. Where do we sign up? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintlyscot Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Strachan should shut his trap about such matters and concentrate on the job in hand. You cannot "manipulate" things to ensure certain clubs in the top league. Utter bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal smith Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Correct, however a 16 or 18 team top flight is the way forward for Scottish Football agree needs to be sorted out before the season started though, you cannot move the goalposts mid season whether its Hibs, Hearts or Rangers or even two of the three that remain in the championship for next season they will only have themselves to blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I can see what he is trying to say, but suspect the media are jumping on it more than what it really is...... Yes, ideal world the SPFL would have Rangers, Hearts and Hibs in it..... but that is football and there is only room for 2 of them (and even then, no guarantee that more than 1 will go up) and given Strachan is a Hibs fan, would not surprise me if there was a element of tongue in cheek about it knowing that Hibs are not really in the pack at the moment.

saintlyscot Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Correct, however a 16 or 18 team top flight is the way forward for Scottish Football Of course that was and still is the best solution. Wasn't aware of any will from clubs or broadcasters to have this implemented though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 right I've seen it, he's says "Somehow we need to get these 3 teams (Hearts, Hibs, Rangers) back, and some folk say well you canny manipulate it, well I think you have to, to get them back in because then the game will grow again" I'm dissappointed in that. I know he's an outspoken wee guy but thats out of order. The 3 teams mentioned find themselves outside the top league purely by their own doing. To bend the rules to promote 3 teams regardless of where they come in the league is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Daft comments. Doubt he'd make them on a Scottish show but then maybe he would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_observer Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I hope he doesn't do the Scottish Cup draw - he'd want to manipulate that & put Rangers & Celtic in the final "because then the game will grow again". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hugely disappointing comments from the National coach. Rangers are where they are because of their financial irregularities and Hibs/Hearts are where they are because every other SPL team put them there. These comments are massively insulting to the other SPL teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yes, ideal world the SPFL would have Rangers, Hearts and Hibs in it..... Nah, ideal in an ideal world the SPFL Premiership would have the 12 best teams, who have fairly earned the right to be there in it. Which it does.

But you can manipulate things to ensure clubs get into certain leagues so I wouldn't be surprised if this actually does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
