Sorry, but you're indulging in semantics, they are converse in that they produce the polar opposite effect, relegation versus title-winners. 

 

adjective
opposite or contrary in direction, action, sequence, etc.; turned around.
noun
something opposite or contrary.

 

I'm not advocating we should be declared 'relegation-exempt', nor that Celtic should be crowned champions, only that people who hanker after the former should also acknowledge the latter.

I know you're using lots of big words but, if your argument is 100% wrong, Big words don't help

Fellow Kickbackers, this is how quickly things can escalate......

I work in a military facility in Adelaide (Air Force) . I've just received a text from my boss (a squadron leader) advising that that the Office Commanding (OC) of the Wing has been tested positive for Covid-19 following a 2-week trip to the US.

Him (the OC) being an Englishman, we often have 'tea cosy' chats about our respective football teams (him, Arsenal and me, Hearts). We've had a few of them since he returned from the States.

So now, I'm in a state of 14-day quarantine, like it or not. I'm asymtomatic, but........

No idea whether this comes off my sick leave, annual leave or even long service leave.

TBH, I just feel like getting pished.

Son I believe you will now be facing a Court Martial for disclosing military secrets, your Squadron is clearly rudderless given your OC is choked wi the cauld & you have given the enemy the upper hand in the war down under.

Get back on that fence & man your Station son.

Would be very unfair of Celtic to win the title because of the virus when our very own 1914-15 team lost out because they went to fight for their country.

Just cancel the season and start again next year with 14. That's the right thing to do and the only sensible option available.

If the season is to be stopped and declared null and void, it’s not the only fair way to decide the dishing out of prizes but this definitely did cross my mind. One home and one away would certainly be fairer than simply deciding things when there are numerous different arithmetical outcomes still possible. I knew we’d still go down but I could live with the above rather than the inequality of stopping now and going with that. It’s almost worth going down to see the look on Lennon/Brown’s faces as Rangers are handed another tainted title to stop 9 in a row!

Yeah but his other column in the mail in England he’s basically saying that you can’t hand Liverpool the title but we have to give the title to celtic haha. He is correct about us tho. And i would prefer us to either play the remainder of the games and try avoid the drop or I’d accept us going down as we deserve it and have been the worst side in the league. I don’t want any stupid Aberdeen style “drop” avoids hoovering over us.

You could always start with 13 teams including United. When bury went bust it left an uneven number of teams 

[After The Watershed]

This isn't just about relegation, promotion and champions. Looking at the championship you have seven clubs who could have a chance of the play offs. How could you pick one? When would a play -off happen? Clubs can sign players in the summer and have better teams than they do now prior to the play-off. 

 

A lot of Scottish clubs will be hit hard financially and may not survive if the status quo is in place next season. As a measure to minimise the effects on clubs the leagues should be increased in size. Premier becomes a 22 league division and the second tier a 20. This would provide security to clubs knowing they may not have to spend as much on wages as they normally would in the top flight to stay up. Cloths can be cut to keep clubs alive. 

 

The league can then put further plans to restructure back to how it is or something different in 3-4 years time.

If they cancel the season how will they award prize money. Surely every team gets an equal share. This would help all the smaller clubs get through a difficult time.

I went to the gym last night and yes, it was quieter than normal.  But again, if you wash your hands and don't touch your face you will not be at risk. There is a mass over reaction imo, fuelled by  those in authority. I prefer to temper official statements from govts with other views  such as the patient on the BBC Scotland website.who outlined his swift recovery or those of leading German virologists who contradict Merkel's mad predictions of 53m infections there.  They predict 45k to be nearer the final total  if the maxinum 80% are going to be infected then why sanitise and hand wash? Everyone needs to keep calm and carry on pretty much as normal.

The published daily figures don’t help either. The advice is to self isolate by staying at home if you get symptoms and only seek medical attention if symptoms worsen. So you stay at home then get better after 5-7 days and nobody knows you’ve had it. Going to make the death rate way higher as time goes on and worry people even more.

It may be a blessing in disguise to the industry as those who are focussed on money and not peoples health and mental well being as reason for pt’ing may not hang about.

Very few people are actually getting tested. Most including those self isolating currently won't be.
