Reading Questions for the Things They Carried Answer Key Chap 4
As SFM folk will know, Scottish Football regime can exist enigmatic at best, puzzling and corrupt at worst, and downright crazy and incompetent in either situation. On this blog over the years, nosotros take asked questions constantly of the authorities and the clubs, only like anyone with a fan-centred involvement at heart nosotros get ignored. "Fans are non a homogenous entity", they say, "at that place are more opinions than there are fans". This aesthetic premise gives the clubs an excuse to ignore fans' input, and other than on platforms like this, fan opinion is seldom gathered or curated.
The post-obit blog, put together by Andy Smith, the Chairman of the Scottish Football Supporters Association, asks a lot of simple questions that don't go asked frequently. He also invites fans to enhance their own questions and opinions.
Of course, there are headline atrocities committed by the people in charge of the game.
The Five-Way Agreement, the continuity myth, the refusal to punish the biggest incidence of systematic adulterous e'er experienced in the game, and the casual adoption of the post-truth model introduced so successfully past venal politicians on both sides of the Atlantic.
Just what enabled those assaults on the integrity of the sport? In order to go away with the big con, there have to be wee cons. Ticket allocations, kick off times and dates for prepare-slice occasions which make it hard if not incommunicable for fans exterior of Glasgow to participate, refusal to agree match officials answerable in the way an underperforming player or a misbehaving fan would be, and countless other incidences where fans are inconvenienced, or fifty-fifty put at hazard.
The simply fashion to combat that level of arrogance is to unite where we can, and although in a partisan sport that can be hard to achieve, SFM is testimony that it can work. This blog is an invitation for the states to begin to look forward, and non get distracted past the past. I hope SFM-ers participate and make their views clear.
Big Pink
What did Alan Dougherty, Gordon Harvey and Eddie Hutch have in common?
They were teachers who gave their fourth dimension, to thousands of kids, including me, and asked for nothing back. To a man they gave up, overnight, every bit part of a 'work to rule', in an ugly pay dispute in the early 80s.
They were never thanked properly by the game?
They were and are sair missed.
Why did football let that happen?
Why has nobody ever grasped this particular nettle since?
Should you be able to have a beer at Bayview watching East Fife play Clyde on Feb 5th?
But like the fans at Murrayfield, merely over the Firth can and will, at the sell-out game vs England on the very same solar day.
Should you be allowed to enjoy a beer at Celtic Park watching Celtic vs Rangers on Feb 2nd?
A smaller crowd than Murrayfield too, and very few away fans. Merely some history and possibly a different situation altogether.
Are our leagues too small, leading to constant pressure and curt termism by clubs?
Club CFO's say the pressures are brutal and when their team is in trouble everything else gets sacrificed to avoid the financial chaos of relegation.
Many CFO's dread the idea of promotion besides knowing total well the seesaw implications of our small leagues.
Should the bottom of SPFL exist an automated relegation to open up the pyramid?
Our unique, one league only, convoluted play-off formula was only e'er a last infinitesimal switcheroo/bargain past the SPFL2 clubs at the fourth dimension to protect their places in the SPFL 'one-time boys network'.I'd suggest Due east Stirling, Brechin and Berwick would change their votes if asked again.
Your Invitation to Say What You Think
Scottish Football Alliance Fan Survey January 2022
The Scottish Football game Supporters Association is an independent and growing fans organisation in Scotland with circa 80,000 members. Nosotros have members from all senior clubs in Scotland and throughout the pyramid.
Many of those members regularly visit the SFM site.
We accept been asked by the new Scottish Football Brotherhood (http://scottishfootball.org/) to provide an independent insight into what fans think about various aspects of our game, in detail what fans remember our game needs to move forward. It is time for change, and football seems incapable of change from within.
Scottish Football might non acknowledge it, but it actually needs the input of supporters similar y'all. The fact none of us take been asked our opinions in the past says a lot.
Nosotros need to assist and tell those running our game and other stakeholders similar the Scottish Government what football needs to do.
Scottish football certainly has to retrieve longer term and get closer to its fans.
In any business organisation overview we are the core stakeholders.
The style we are treated and ignored is quite commercially bizarre.
To that end nosotros have commissioned a short 2 minute survey , but we'd likewise welcome and appreciate whatever more detailed insights into what Scottish Football game needs to do or do better. Delight e-mail those insights (in improver to participating in the survey) to me, at andrew@scottishfsa.org
I know from experience that when you get a group of fans in a room to talk about football game, later on the local rivalries and stuff gets dealt with, usually with humour, we can all meet what the game has done for united states, the power of practiced it can exist for our communities and the things that need to change.
I constantly notice that most fans non simply see the bigger picture but too collectively want to give something back.
When this survey ends we will aggregate and analyse the results and share them far and wide inside the game and to other interested stakeholders like The Scottish Government.
The results will also become the foundation of policies The Scottish Football Alliance volition publish and circulate.
At each stage moving forwards we will work closely with The Scottish Football Brotherhood providing and then with further fan insight.
And we will keep y'all and all other fans involved.
