Goodwin in the stands for Sunday.
With the cat out the bag if that happened it would and should rock their foundations to the core and enforced changes would have to be made for our game to survive! This should be considered huge imo!Nothing surer 3-0 sellick on appeal.
What chance have we got when his own club backed the scum today?Surely if what Goodwin is saying is accurate something needs to be done about this
They can't just break rules so games go ahead at the request if a certain club
This just gets more sinister
Cheers mate. I know it's the rebel but easier to share.Jim Goodwin claims SPFL bent own rules to get St Mirren vs Celtic to go ahead
The cobbled together Buddies held the Parkhead side to a goalless draw in Paisley.www.dailyrecord.co.uk
That's corrupt as %^*& just to give those c/nuts every advantage possible, thankfully karma has cost the c/nuts 2 points this time.Jim Goodwin has claimed the SPFL had to bend their own rules to allow his St Mirren side to face Celtic.
The Buddies boss was forced to recall kids from loan deals and draft in academy youngsters after 11 first team stars were ruled out due to Covid chaos – and pleas to have the game shelved fell on deaf ears.
Goodwin said: “It's been extremely difficult as you'd imagine. We've been here before.
"I'm not surprised as we were forced to play games last year that we didn't really want to.
"It was Groundhog Day all over - very similar to what happened last year.
"We had major dialogue back and forth with the authorities and we were explaining the situation.
"If we only have three or four positives, it's a different situation - but we had 11 positives and were still waiting for two results before the game.
"Thankfully we were able to free up a few of our players who were deemed close contacts on Tuesday.
"We had major dialogue back and forth with the authorities and we were explaining the situation.
"Nobody at St Mirren wants to cancel games willy nilly, but these are extreme circumstances.
"If we only have three or four positives, it's a different situation - but we had 11 positives and were still waiting for two results before the game.
"On Wednesday afternoon we genuinely felt we were going to have to play six or seven under-17 players.
"We asked for the game to be postponed but unfortunately the powers that be wanted the game to go ahead.
"So much so that they have bent loan rules to allow us to bring six under-18 players to bulk the squad.
"They amended the loans to allow us to bring back players from Lowland League clubs.
"They went to great lengths to get the game on. They explored every avenue, even down to those loan rules.
"The SFA and SPFL got together on the Lowland loans, but we weren't allowed to bring league ones back."
Yep, this was the same guy who took his team to parkhead last season and took full points, whilst we had a weekend off. How many teams done that last season?Good of Jim Goodwin to provide that insight, especially after getting a good result. I wish we could drop the paranoia and appreciate that most managers and players are professional and only want the best results for their team. They might have supported another club or even played for them, it doesn't mean they are going to sabotage their own team to deliberately lose.

Await the papes appeal over St Mirren fielding an illegible player.....
yep, I watched the last 10 minutes of that game. He was driving his team on, challenging every decision with the officials.Yep, this was the same guy who took his team to parkhead last season and took full points, whilst we had a weekend off. How many teams done that last season?
Be cause if they had to reschedule st mirren v celtic and St mirren v rangers where would they find space to play the postponed by bringing the winter break forward.Amazing when you read that. Wonder why they were desperate for the game to be on
Big game on Boxing DayYou'd like to think by sunday, we've maybe learned a lesson after a difficult game v dundee utd, the st mirren kids are knackered and possibly a few have indulged in a traditional paisley white xmas and we can turn them over by a few
That’s actually quite incredible.
Appeal what??For those saying rats can appeal. Would it not be the same deal as we have with players from out B team as they are in the lowland league …. They can go up the way just can’t go back after 5 games
You jest.. but at this stage I honestly wouldn’t be suprised if they tried it and the SPFL upheld itAh well let's wait Celtc appealing the result due to st mirren fielding players they shouldn't have lol
Sportscene was mentioning the amount of players they were bringing in.Await the papes appeal over St Mirren fielding an illegible player.....
I would say they are a club who are not in control of the Covid processes he even incriminates himself with his examples re last season . Utter boff .Jim Goodwin has claimed the SPFL had to bend their own rules to allow his St Mirren side to face Celtic.

This is the biggest take away from what the manager is saying. This is absolutely scandalous.The SFA and SPFL got together on the Lowland loans, but we weren't allowed to bring league ones back.
So to 'help out' St Mirren, they granted them permission to bring back some kids to make up the numbers, but only those at the lowest level?. Reeking.
All joking aside, I reckon this will happenAwait the papes appeal over St Mirren fielding an illegible player.....

don't spoil our XmasAye was thinking that myself
The SPFL went out of their way to ensure this game took place as they believed it was an easy 3 points for Celtc. The same SPFL went out of their way to have the Piggery game against us postponed.
Basically he is openly saying that the SFA / SPFL changed the rules so that his team had to play a weakened team. Again, actually incredible.All joking aside thats just blatant cheating. Lets be honest. Its not St Mirrens fault that they were covid ravaged. They should have been allowed to have tonight and boxing day postponed. Thats a legitimate reason. Not some made up shite about fans.
Many a true word spoken in jest !Await the papes appeal over St Mirren fielding an illegible player.....
Settle down you.You'd like to think by sunday, we've maybe learned a lesson after a difficult game v dundee utd, the st mirren kids are knackered and possibly a few have indulged in a traditional paisley white xmas and we can turn them over by a few
FfsWhats the betting the game on sun gets postponed
So why did they vote the way they did or is it a case as many have previously posted they have been assured Sundays game will not go aheadBasically he is openly saying that the SFA / SPFL changed the rules so that his team had to play a weakened team. Again, actually incredible.
Don't be surprised if that happens.that mhob will stoop to any level to get what they want. An appeal could be on and no doubt a successful appeal with lies from sfa spfl to help.Await the papes appeal over St Mirren fielding an illegible player.....
I think with the quarantine rule change from 10 days to 7 they may have players backSettle down you.
We won't get fooled again.
He said he wanted the club to refuse to play tonight, maybe im being cynical but wouldn’t surprise me if he wants the game on sunday cancelledFfs
Why?
