kingantti1874 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Sorry lads, this may be amusing on the surface but you have to consider that it absolutely reduced the likelihood that the SPL season will complete and the likelihood that the championship season will go ahead. this is not good news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar the Horrible Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Uefa state games can be played as long as clubs have 13 players. Is this adopted by the SPFL? Yes, but clubs can apply for games to be postponed if they feel they are being unfairly disadvantaged. These cases would be decided on a case-by-case basis by SPFL after consultation with the Joint Response Group and the Scottish Government. hamilton should play with kids then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As funny as it is to watch, if the top flight clubs can’t deal and live with covid, what chance does the lower leagues have. We will play the betfred due to its TV commitments and then the game will be mothballed. makes me wonder if we've had to insert release clauses for new signings in the event this season can't start....

The Treasurer Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 22 minutes ago, Zico said: Aye, that’s the precedent set. I really, really hope some Sellick players get Covid, through no fault of their own, the week of the OF game. I’d pay good money to watch Doncaster try and squirm his way out of that one. He'd claim that the spectacle of the "greatest club game in the world" would have to be protected. They're probably looking at ways to postpone it already seeing as there is no chance of fans being there to create that "unique atmosphere" (ie. sectarian "folk songs") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfcbilly Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Rick Sanchez said: We'll be in the championship for two years. This would not surprise me. There shouldve been some kind of contingency plan put in place before spfl season started this season so that reconstruction could happen for 21/22 if this season doesn't play out for the lower league teams. That would soften the blow for teams that were unfairly relegated when they prematurely ended last season. The teams that were punted should get back in to the league they were in for the 21/22 season. Imagine Partick don't kick a ball this year and they don't get promoted out of league 1 21/22 season?
