If this is true then I hope the lawyers are readying their fight

Self Interest Dominates. It's plus ca change on the national broadcaster today. Forget Sporting Integrity, the usual suspects are going with self interest. Big Dick wants the season completed whenever that may be, all games in all competitions must be played. Amazingly, Derek McInnes said the same thing last night. Tam Cowan wants it suspended, thus Motherwell qualify for Europe. DrStu' wants it declared null and void, unless St Johnstone are allowed to play their game in hand(against us), gain three points and finish above Hibs. Apparently, worth another £150,000 on league placing. I could go on, but the epitome of self interest arose when DrStu' noted his Twitter feed was showing the German government had okayed a fund for paying Freelancers reporting on Sports and Arts. Big Dick was adamant Nicola Sturgeon must follow suit. DrStu' and Tam C chorused approval. Their standard of life comes before the state of Scottish football, ALWAYS.

I've been told that La Liga officials are discussing their proposals with UEFA. They are proposing to cancel the championship this season, including all promotions and relegations. The European competition places will be given to the same teams as last year. They are asking UEFA to confirm that this is acceptable so they can announce it. That would certainly set a precedent. Apparently they discussed this with the clubs in the top division, all of which agreed. I doubt we would get such a unanimous agreement here but if this becomes the norm it'll be difficult for the SPFL to do something different.

Were we expecting anything less from Shameless FC and their media lapdogs? I could sit here and list their historical shameless acts, but they are well known. A club like no other? You bet they are.

Agreed. I'm hoping the bigger leagues make a null and void decision, which would make the Scottish football authorities look even more like a diddy, tin-pot set-up if they don't follow suit. Have to say, I'd feel for genuine Liverpool supporters - that would be one Hell of a boot in the baws because their lead is unassailable. Dundee United fans, on the other hand...?

Thankfully, all other national leagues are in the same boat so that may influence things.

Absolutely, therefore unless there was a contingency clause, that clubs agreed to, stating that in the event of the season being cut short due to extraordinary circumstances the club with the most points at that point would be crowned champions, then I doubt it would be legally possible to do just that. There is no contingency clause and therefore the season must either be completed or be declared null and void. it doesn’t seem like there will be time to complete the season without disrupting season 20/21, so I’m convinced it will be null and void. No champions, no relegation, no promotion.

SPFL rules clearly states clubs SHALL play 38 games

Rumours from where?

Sidenote: the German icehockey league, the DEL, decided that after 54 (sic!) league games, a week before the title and relegation play-offs were due to start, the season will be shut down. The top sides enter certain European competitions, there will be no champions. Have to check how they deal with relegation stuff, but it might be that there is none anyway.

I had formed the opinion that Pederastyfootballclub actually fancied its chances at Ibrox on Sunday: our lads were off form -had been for some time- and would be coming off a taxing 90mins against a classy German outfit. I assumed that its support would be of the same view. Hence, I thought, ScotGov's decision to restrict large assemblies only from Monday onwards. Nicola, I reasoned, knows her demographic, and will appease it. Then, the Football Authorities elected to act properly in the circumstances, and kiboshed not only the Rangers' game, but every other match in every part of the sport over which it exercised control, and this indefinitely. By its standards (using the term loosely) rasellik has been notably quiet. You may call me cynical, or paranoiac, although maybe I am just a victim of experience, but I worry, now, that the Authorities' decision was made with the full agreement of The Pederasts, and that there is what we might call a quid pro quo, lurking in the background, unwritten, unspoken, but a done deal, which will award them the League Championship for 2019/20.

Wouldn't surprise me, although I suspect clubs being relegated will be readying their legal response.

?

How can this season resume in August? Players whose contracts finish at the end of this season will have left their clubs by then. Smaller clubs which have large turnovers of players might not be able to complete their fixtures due to not having sufficient players. And would clubs new signings be able to play for their new clubs to finish the old season? A farce awaits...

Point being you didnt use facts. I think it's clear you are an armchair biologist like the hoards on facebook.You used opinion but we getting no where debating over it really. Yesterday it was fact according to you the death rate higher because of smokers. Yet now its a risk factor since south korea doesnt fit your motive. Each to their own facts as you say. I have never read or even saw a daily record for a number of years btw.

Not much wrong with most of the players as seen by early season results. Since winter break we seem to have lost the quick incisive movement we had and are now playing more sideway passes trying to invite opposition to come out from their shell and thus don't have the same momentum/ability to make speedy movement so we resort to long high balls which are easy meat to defences.

I think we'd be better at breaking down these brick walls if we didn't play a No.10 in a wide position, didn't spend £7m on a player who rarely provides assists, despite that being his primary role and didn't persist with a formation that the opposition can read like a book.

No! If we can't break teams down teams that have inferior players then we are not good enough. Look at the top teams, Liverpool, Man City, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, They face brick wall defences regularly and win. Dare I say Celtic manage it in Scotland too ?. The solution is to play better with better players.

Kamberi for me. We looked much more positive after he came on - and was the missing spark. Wish he’d started instead of Morelos - shadow of what he was just a few weeks ago.

"Weak, feeble, poor, abject, pathetic". A week away, on an island where the sunshine spends the winter. Relaxation, catching up with some old friends, the occasional culinary triumph, and listening to Malloquines express growing concern over the number of cruise ships docking daily in Palma. Incubators of virus or necessary bringers of tourism euros? Last year, the viral complaint was these cruise ships are all inclusive and they buy nothing in Palma. I read an article in the island paper, 'Ultima Hora' questioning any indulgence of Mallorquine culture by those cruising? They asked, 'how many ate Sobrasada and drank Tunel? The herb liqueur is a big ask but Sobrasada is a picante tasting sausage of the parts of a pig no one wants, including the squeal. Last evening, I drove from the Airport to the game, turned on the national broadcaster for team news. David Currie had Chic Young and Billy Dodds talking all things coronavirus. Clubs without appropriate insurance will be sweating, Directors are breathless at the prospect of sudden stoppage of income flow, and concern for the plight of Scott Brown and Neil Lennon not being awarded the championship, was vomit inducing. Currie aplogised for the introduction of a stuck pig with a booming squeal, Tom English had been stuck in traffic and was 15 minute late. Tom rattled the pathetic nature of Scottish football's hand to mouth existence. He wasn't surprised by it, and the SPL and SFA statement on no emergency funding in place was expected. BBC Scotland's Chief Sports Writer was mid flow in his Scottish football condemnation when Liam McLeod appeared with team news. Rangers were given as a 4-3-3 and substitutes named. Bayer Leverkusen were named with accompanying pen pictures. Their values were purred over and the last two mentioned had added endorsements, both were French under 21s and good friends with Odsonne Edouard. Rangers were facing a big step up from Braga. Tom was asked to comment on the given team news, and Tom continued his curmudgeon tone, .......... weak, feeble, abject, poor, pathetic ...., etc. I thought, here we are in the middle of March, a Scots team has made the last 16 of the Europa Cup, having started in late July. Seventeen games of success, adding to the Scottish co-efficient and breaking a few records. Where is the balance? Objectivity is unwanted and it's interference will not be allowed. Pig headed bluster determined not to praise the club continuing to carry the Scottish standard in Europe. Tom raised questions on Gerrard, Morelos, Kent, Tav', and Goldson. They have no mental toughness, "Celtic asked the questions and they have no answers". On the night of possibly Scots participation in Europe ending for another season, the Chief Sports Writer off BBC Scotland told us, "forget Europe", they cannot compete with Hearts, Hamilton, and St Johnstone. Suffice to say, he turned up late and gave us his preferred prejudice. A celebration of Scots participation in Europe cannot be expressed if it's the wrong Scots club. Further, expressing solidarity with Michael Stewart, Jum Spence, DrStu', and all the haters is far more important going forward .................... to talk about rugby or ra Sellik. I switched off, turned back on in an attempt to receive an explanation over the VAR decision. Big Dick, Liam McLeod, Billy Dodds, and Neil McCann were in a PQ studio declaring a definite penalty. Then, they returned to Coronavirus and Big Dick introduced a text he had received from his daughter, 'the Fintry Amateur Dramatic Society have announced the postponement of their production of Calamity Jane in April, it will now take place in October'. Fitting really, reveals PQ's priorities better than anything written on this thread!

In 1939, a small local difficulty emerged in Europe; some went so far as to call it "The Emergency". The Scottish League was abandoned. Five (5) rounds of games had been completed, and Rangers was, of course, top. The League competition officially re-emerged in the 1946-47 season. The football authorities, with govt consent, set up Regional Leagues, comprising two leagues of 16 teams. Rangers won the Western Division, Falkirk the Eastern. There was a play off which Rangers won. It is at least arguable that the precedent is set for abandonment of this season's competition, no Championship may be awarded, nor winner declared. 1939–40 in Scottish football Division One champions Abandoned Division Two champions Abandoned Emergency league competition champions Rangers Scottish War Emergency Cup winners Rangers Junior Cup winners Maryhill

Listening to some of the doctors/scientists yesterday they dont expect this virus to peak until August that's usually when seasons start , so draw a line under this season and just declare it void .
