Split chaos as SPFL blunders once more

Last updated : 01 April 2014 By Stand Free Ed

The SPFL Premiership is due to split in half after 33 games with each half playing each other once to equal 38 matches over the season.

But last night an intern at the SPFL headquarters in Bute noticed that the split appeared between 5th and 6th place in the official SPFL Premiership table rather than a place below.

And after a series of emergency meetings lasting up to 12 minutes with a break for coffee, under-fire SPFL top brass Neil Doncaster and Stewart Regan concluded that it is too late to do anything about it.

Doncaster said: "With the final round of pre-split fixtures being played this weekend, it is too late to rectify the split position.

"Therefore the post-split matches will go ahead as planned but one weekend will see the top-5/12ths play themselves whereas the bottom 7/12ths will just play their matches without Hearts who frankly are just wasting everyone's time anyway."

Doncaster added: "My situation is patently untenable, but I am confident that I could literally shit on every single football supporter in this country and still remain in my job."

We put it to Doncaster that there are also two St Johnstones in the official SPFL Premiership table, but he responded: "I could not give one solitary fuck either way."
