Francis Albert Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 4 minutes ago, Jamboelite said: That is an interesting one. How do you tackle the lost revenue of what promotion would bring for example TV rights and sponsorship deals etc... I think Utd are in debt by quite a bit so im not sure they would accept having to play another 36 games to get out of that league despite the advantage. For Utd it would be better than simply abandoning the league. TV rights and sponsorship could be shared in some way by a formula based on positions at the point of abandonment of this season's leagues.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Any erse cheek fan that is injured and needs to go to hospital because they are blootered or involved in fighting should be jailed. This game especially causes major problems for the police and hospitals so should be off completely not played behind closed doors as you would still have problems with idiots out in the streets.

No longer active Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The PM, chief medical officer and his advisor has just told us that it’s only a matter of time before up to 80% of the population will get this. The SCIENCE is evolving and the message is clear that it is inevitable that all sporting events as well as other forms of gathering will cease soon. This is to protect the vulnerable members of our society. The fate of Hearts this season really doesn’t matter when compared to our parents and grandparents lives! A very worrying prospect!

A clear decision (if that's what you think we have), is a very narrow definition of leadership which for most people includes making timely decisions and making brave decisions not attached to fear or failure. Govt showing more leadership that out footballing leadership to be fair, but could and probably should be braver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is not containment it's about protecting your infrastructure and creating a drip feed rather than an avalanche. That way your services cope. You cannot argue that allowing 100-120k people to gather in 3 days is sensible. Apparently 2-3k people from the worst infected area of Germany included.
