To be honest I think voiding their season is the solution that will cause the fewest issues. Clubs usually participate in sports competitions in the knowledge that the governing body makes the rules and can amend those rules at any time it sees fit. When the SFA or SPFL makes a decision it would be very unusual for a member club to challenge that decision in court.

UEFA can suspend countries if their clubs are taking legal action against their association. 
This looks unavoidable all over Europe. To keep the peace in Scotland, give us or United £10m to play in the 2nd tier. 😀

Worrying about players contracts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

It's a life and death scenario for a lot of people Ffs.

 

I don;t see that people are "worried" about them, more just a vaguely interesting aspect to this whole scenario.

Exactly.  There are plenty effects of the current situation that are not life and death and there is no reason not to talk about them.

Now reports in England from 'private parties' that it will be almost impossible to resume Premier League and EFL in early April and that postponing Euro 2020 will allow leagues to be completed. I'm thinking summer football is here....

 

I thought that too.

 

Not worked out the full details but we have Qatar World Cup too. 

 

Move towards a transition to summer football and / or 16 team league.

A more sensible approach would be to have the semis played one weekend with the final the next as an opener to next seasons league, whenever that may start

bit like the charity shield down south but held over two weekends

Nah, it'll be awarded based on on good manners and respect for your elders;

 

Aberdeen founded 1903,

Celtic founded 1888

Hibs founded 1875

Hearts.... :jjyay:

This will be the end of several clubs.

This is a real possibility. I wonder if the league has a contingency to provide financial support? I think gate receipts account for 40-50% of most Scottish clubs incomes.

No.

 

They have already said no reserves, all monies are paid out so check your insurance.

14:50 Hugh MacDonald says his understanding is that if the league is cancelled it won’t be voided it will be declared as it stands. Now he’s not the authority on this and he may well even be a slaver but what he says about the league has been echoed by others ive spoken with.

They’d already said there is no money to pay to clubs who have to play games behind close doors so I doubt there’ll be cash now it’s indefinitely suspended.

Really didn’t want to watch us at Livingston anyway.

 

Imagine the whole season will get scrapped. This thing isn’t going away anytime soon

2022 world cup starts at the end of that year so actually helps in this case.

Absolutely no chance. If anything they’ll extend the league to accommodate

I hope were using this as an opportunity to spend more time in training with the players to get our game plans right should the league reconvene.

Literally nothing has been arithmetically decided yet so teams changing leagues is impossible I would say. Raith, Falkirk and Cove Rangers would go nuts if United went up and they never. Likewise Partick and Stranraer who could feasibly avoid drops assuming they were the ones to be relegated with 8/9 games to go.

 

It’s either somehow played to completion or it’s null and void and start again.

Yeah, but how funny if the whole lot gets cancelled and that’s how we avoid relegation?

Sounds very unlikely,  but not impossible I guess.   Makes me all the more furious about our performance on Wed.....just shameful.

It would be funny but a slight tinge of luck.

We've been absolutely rotten this season bar 4 or 5 games.

Virus is not even at its peak yet.  The health experts are predicting June as the worse month so I see no re-commencement soon.

If they leave it as it is fine. 

 

We can take over from Celtic as the victims, moral high ground for eternity. We deserve it anyway

The facts are that this is a mild viral infection for people that don't have underlying health conditions. 

More people die from the seasonal flu every year in Scotland. 

This will die out just as quick as itcomes 


That is not the “facts” according to the leading medical scientists. They forecast that around 80% of us will contract this virus unlike winter flu rates which run around 10% of the population.

It may not kill you but you will be ill and unable to work with a devastating effect on the country. As announced yesterday the plan is to slow the infection rates so we do not have one big explosion that would swamp our medical and public services.

People need to drop this “panic merchant” guff - this is extremely serious
