Absolute farce. They will also allow their ragtag band of Independence marchers go ahead as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However nobody knows the percentage who have the virus as like many viruses many people carry it without showing any symptoms themselves but are capable of infecting others. For example , the guy in Brighton who went skiing in France and then closed down a doctor's surgery , think they called him a super transmitter or something. No problem, I agree with you 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t ‘declare’ the league FFS. We’d be right off to the CAS if they did. They can null and void it at best but they won’t. IMO every game from Monday onwards will be closed doors for at least 4 weeks.

I don't want our season to end prematurely, or to be saved from relegation by the medical situation. Imagine the ignominy of it. Facing fans from other teams with the knowledge of what may have saved us. I couldn't look them in the eye I would rather be relegated due to our own inadequacies. It may not bother some, but having supported the Hearts since the early 1960s, well it would bother me. Wouldn’t bother me one bit. aberdeen got saved due to Falkirk not having the required stadium seating. Did it bother them? And does it get thrown at them all the time?

You’re missing the point tbh. Every single football game requires X amount of police, paramedics etc in attendance. With the NHS and emergency services already under strain dealing with confirmed and ‘possible’ cases it’s counter productive to strain it further by ‘wasting’ staff sitting at events when they could be doing something more important.

A few issues like prom and relegation but restructuring to 14 in top league fixes that. Cup semis and final played early next season. Same teams as this season play in Europe.
