call me harsh but i for one will lose no sleep if the s**t hits the fan for Gretna.Far too many reasons but buying success and denying other established clubs a crack, does my head in. They are not even scottish FFS.Of course no one wants to see a club go down, normally people say' oh what a shame, they have such a history' not here they dont. As for the whole we love Hearts affair after the SC2006 well the y burnt thier bridges with me. Goodbye Gretna-you will not be missed xx

Aye, fair doos, but if they go under before the season is over, there is talk all the points that clubs have taken off them this season will be void. That would put the cat amongst the pigeons

They were a good stepping stone, though, they did serve that purpose nicely.

That would put the cat amongst the pigeons Has a club ever gone into administration before? Aye, Motherwell did the season before last, and came straight out of it. Could never understand that. Then there was Airdrie, who came back as Airdrie Unt, and Clydebank, they vannished off the face of the earth. It always rained there anyway, but the pies were no bad

Can't figure that one out, the last time I was there it was still in Scotland. Maybe mix62 could help us out on that question ;D

I tell you what Gretna is its the boil on the ass of Scottish football its been a pain since day one , alot of teams in the SPL are going to rue the name Gretna and Hibs might be one of them , the SFA are going to have add points etc and yours truly Dundee United are going to get another 6 points if Im not mistaken as they lost twice to them in the league and if thats the case our bums oot the windy as far as Europes concerned I might be wrong but when the keek hits the fan an awfull lot of keeks going to come Easter Road way , if push comes to shove you want them to carry on to the end of the season and that will only happen if Brookes Milestone or whatever his name is doesnt pop his clogs hes no a well man and nobody is paying the bills so we want him to get on the mend , see Gretna get to the end of this season then find pastures new for themselves ,but I will be very surprised if the dont go doon the tubes soon , awe well we will just have to win the Scottish Cup .

We could very well lose all our points we won against Gretna. But that wont happen. Already the SPL have come out and said they will help Gretna along till the end of the season. TBH we have bigger fish to fry than worrying about a possible situation arising out of the mess that is Gretna. Im sorry about Mileson bieng unwell of course, and i even brushed shoulders with him after our 3-1 win in the SC last season,big guy( but his sickening full page advert praising the Hearts fans after the SC Final will stick in my throat for a long time). But they have reaped what they sowed in my opinion.They have cause no end of havoc by not having their stadium up to scratch( fair do's its a ridiculous rule, but thems the rules), thereby putting pressure on an already sh*t pitch at Fir Park, thereby getting games called off due to said pitch problems, thereby attracting flak.They have next to no history, feck all fan base and as i read somewhere else when they were in the lower divisions their fans used to chant such classics as ' were rich and we know we are'.Look at all the sh*t that came to light after Rowan Alexander got the tin tack. I dont want to see any club go up in smoke but personally i will lose no sleep if this english pub team dissapear. It just shows the SPL up even more in my opinion.I mean ffs in the same week we have had the lowest ever crowd in the SPL,the chance that Gretna might go tits up and a very public NO to Rangers and Celtic entering the Premiership.What next?, nude pics of Gordon Smith and Chick Young.

Lots of good points there toiletrim only thing is don't you think the SFA are helping them out ( if they are helping them out ) are taking the easier option would you like to have to go and tell what ever team it is that your losing X amount of points and your chance to play in Europe and possibly make sum money goes pear shaped because the finances of a joke club hinges whether or not a guy comes back out of hospital I wouldn't wish anything bad on the guy but surly his son or board of directors can manage or have access to manage the clubs finances till the end of the season. Other things about sharing a stadium with Motherwell I bet Falkirk , Partick and especially Airdrie were dead chuffed to here that scenario ,get them to the end of the season the tell them to get tae .

Well, how certain is it that we would lose our points against Gretna if they go? Is that what happens?
