Hamilton Finally Relegated

[CoopBlue]

So far, Hamilton down Hearts up. The league is instantly better.

 

[tangledupinblue]

I don't have any ill feelings towards the Club itself apart from a couple of issues. Their Chairman Les Gray I believe was got at and acted in Celtic's interest in their quest to punish and demote us. Their plastic pitch is one less to worry about with our players getting injured.

Oh and for the arsehole Accies fan who spouted venom against us with "Scottish Football doesn't need them", "Tax cheats", blah, blah, blah coming off the Renfrew Ferry one day back then in his 1 minute moment of fame, Get it right fùcking up you! :shh:

 

[GF1]

Would we need Killie down too for a vote against plastic pitches to pass?

Think ot needs to be 11-1 to pass so yeah if 2 voted for it the vote would fail

 

[Alex Venters]

I said the same on another thread.

Amazed so many in here seem to have already forgotten the backstabbing from Dundee last year and how they lied to help the SPFL and Celtic.
I'd much rather put up with a plastic pitch for another year than those liars end up in the top league.

Not for me.
I detest the surface at Killie.

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Killie down next even tho scumdee are up but Killie's pitch is worse then Hamilton's

 

[Business_Bear]

Hopefully Killie follow them and we can get rid of 2 plastic pitches.

 

[bkerr72]

I do wish it was Killie that had went straight down instead of Hamilton. Brian Rice always complimentary towards us as well so do feel for them a bit. Kilmarnock I think will escape and Ross County will go into the playoff.

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

And can score 10 goals?

Ah I meant in the context of helping drag Killie into the schitt. Bye Bye Kilmarnock, hopefully

 

[JamboReid1874]

Hey, they might beat Killie 9-0. Nobody's down yet.

I seem to remember Hamilton years ago in the championship had a situation where a 9 goal swing would see them promoted and they ended up winning 9-1. I could be wrong about that but I think even Jeff Stelling was bringing it up on soccer Saturday at the time.

 

[student_loyal]

We don’t have a great recent history with killie either.

Cutting the away allocation by half for starters. Bastards.

 

[Arkanoid]

1 down 1 to go

 

[Kingdom Bear]

.....

 

[Gauche.]

Personal preference, I would prefer Dundee stay down.

 

[Est1872]

Really don't want Dundee up, but if that means no more plastic pitches, I can stomach it

They beat Morton 10-2

 

[JamboReid1874]

They beat Morton 10-2

Thanks mate I knew it was something along those lines. What a scoreline haha

 

[Zangief]

It's been a minor miracle for Hamilton to stay up this long considering the teams that went down before them so credit to the clubs hierarchy and coaching staff over the seasons.

But having one less plastic pitch nonsense next season is a bonus for us. I hope Killie go down next.

 

[Allovereurope]

Great news.

get it up them

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

Decent wee club, respect them as they blood a lot of youngsters, but delighted they are relegated due to the plastic pitch, they need banned.

 

[km_2083]

8-0. Tbf we gave Hamilton a point and Kilmarnock couldn't muster a goal against us so we've done them more of a turn than Killie

My bad it was 8- fail by me

 

[GazzaLegend]

Nothing against Hamilton, good manager and I would like to have sen them stay up. As for Dundee, I truly wish they would disappear off the face of the earth after last year! A horrible corrupt club.

 

[DartfordRSC]

Work in Kilmarmock, and quite frankly I want them down. I'd fancy Dundee to beat them in a play off, especially with Adam pulling the strings in midfield

 

[nithbear]

Commiserations to the good guy who is the poster @academical

 

[rinosprayer]

Disappointing but probably no bad thing for the fans to have a season or 2 challenging again.

 

[IbroxForever]

Great news, lets hope Killie join them.

 

[academical]

They beat Morton 10-2

I was there. It was the last game of our last season in the Championship, 2014

Goal difference was irrelevant, we needed Dundee to drop points. They didn’t.

... but then we beat Hibs in the play off.

 

[Barba Roja]

Be funny if killie went down via playoffs too

We can only hope!!

 

[SergioPorrini]

Selfishly sad. Great for an away day for me. Can see flood lights from my hoose.

 

[Walter the Great]

Shame for Brian Rice let’s.hope Killie go to though

 

[Milger72]

Wit?!?
Nah, keep those vote changing shitebags where they are

Exactly this. What they done can never be forgotten. I'd rather play on plastic a couple of times a season than have vote changing Dundee back in the league.

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

No it wouldn’t. It would mean Dundee came up

Rock and hard place but Id rather Dundee for the simple reason its on less plastic pitch

 

[foot1efreek]

Thanks mate I knew it was something along those lines. What a scoreline haha

Memory serves me right they needed Dundee not to win. As well. But going into last game of season needing an 8 goal swing and getting it is incredible

People on here hold the pettiest of grudges at times so I’m shocked at folk actually wanting Dundee to come up after their scumbag behaviour and giving Celtic a reach around last season.

We didn’t need an 8 goal swing. We just needed Dundee to lose.

 

[Blue Steel]

Never had you down as thread polis mate

Aye there’s been a Merger , in the voice of Mark McManus .

 

[Cobbler Bob]

Killie staying up vs Dundee coming up, it's a bit like having to choose between getting kicked in the baws or punched in the throat.

 

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

Killie v Hamilton on the last game. Just depends if Hamilton have any fight left.

Too late. The goals difference is far too big. Even we couldn’t score that amount!!

 

[Salamanca]

Dont mind Hamilton would rather have seen Killie go down in all honestly although 1 less plastic pitch is a bonus.

Hope we are keeping tabs on the young lad Jamie Hamilton. Looks a good prospect.

What do you make of him academical?

 

[a_weir]

So what you’re saying is there’s no chance Hamilton will win 10-0?

 

[Kingdom Bear]

 

[Ally Dawson]

If its the only choice we have then yes Dundee over Killie, but only because of the pitch.

 

[Empire]

Fingers crossed Kilmarnock join them.

 

[RSEA]

Be funny if killie went down via playoffs too

Fingers crossed

 

[Clementime]

As a club, I have more respect for Hamilton than any other club in Scotland.

They have a decent management and try to play football to the best of their ability, I would have them in the league before anyone else.

Like everyone else, the chain hops off at that pitch, plastic pitches have caused us too many injuries and they should be banned from the top league, no two ways about it.

 

[Superted 1872]

Good

One less shitey pitch

 

[Cynical]

Commiserations on the relegation Academical

Whats the opinion on it being a well run club as some have said mate ? The old giving the Nigerian Prince a reputed £1million over the phone gives me some reservations and i recall something about a spat with SLC over office space costing them a few quid.

A tough gig for sure running the club , certainly at Premier league level

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Fingers crossed Kilmarnock join them.

I'll stomach Dundee being back in the division if they get rid of that plastic pitch from the division.

 

[permatan]

Them down killie down Dundee up vote the plastic patches out the league.

I remember a time where they required clubs to have 10,000 all seater stadiums before allowing them in. Now you don't even need grass

 

[SDR]

Feel sorry for the resident accie @academical.

Hamilton are a well run club, wouldn’t have been my choice to get relegated.

I don't feel at at all sorry.

I'm delighted when any club with a plastic pitch goes down. Reduces the chance of our players being injured.

 

[mcbeath1872]

I have no ill will towards Hamilton, but I'm glad to see the back of a platsic pitch out of what is supposed to be the elite level of the sport in this country.

On that note, at the end of the season, if Kilmarnock also go down, I feel that there might be an opportunity for the SPL to implement rules that make proper grass pitches mandatory at the top level of the game in Scotland. That would force clubs to invest in this area, and if it meant that they had to spend slightly less on player's wages, then so be it. This rasied standard would benefit everyone -- players (of all clubs that would visit that ground) and fans.
