I think this is the most ive posted on message forums for a while. Stuck working hard at home but cant take my mind off this shit.
Just been thinking, UEFA come out and say you Have to finish your leagues our your no In europe and we do have to miracle find extra time in the calander to fit this in. Dundee will have voted today to voluntary end any hope of them even getting in playoffs, and as we all know reconstruction wont happen. I simply cannot fathom what had changed Dundee mind today?
Celtic will not risk missing out on europe surley to take the 8.75. I just cant get my head around why they trying rush this though. I mean let's be honest we weren't fucking stopping the 9 anyway
From UEFAs rule book.
Article 4 Admission criteria and procedure
4.01 To be eligible to participate in the competition, clubs must:
a. have qualified for the competition on sporting merit;1 -
"Despite being electronically submitted, for whatever reason, our vote did not reach the centre" (SPFL.)
They've been in discussion with them all week ,and there's still no answer as to why the vote didn't reach them.
They also seem unhappy with ICT ,and Partick Th ,even though both clubs have been transparent throughout, can't say the same for Dundee.

Some reports now that the EPL will be resuming in June, with matches played behind closed doors, so players there starting a mini pre season in May.
UEFA are looking to schedule the remaining European games for August.
Are closed doors games an option in our league? , or have they been ruled out altogether ?

The Staggies chief said: “I am really sorry for Dundee and John Nelms. He is a fine man.
Fine man he may well be, though all he has achieved now is to prove he is a man that lies to other chairmen.
Who would trust him now ? , Oh i forgot ,he's currently in good company with the SPFL, and they're all digging themselves out of that massive hole they've created.
It was all a big misunderstanding, vote passed , nothing to see here.

So why did they vote Yes? Doesn’t make sense.
i've been following it all day and i'm now none the wiser either.
From my understanding , it now seems that Dundee hold all the cards ,and have the clout to relegate Hearts etc.
Aberdeen seemed to be voting against it, but late on, ended up in favour , which might suggest that Liewell has now got the same influence with Dave Cormack that he had with Stewart Milne.
All reeks to the high heavens for me.

SPFL CLUBS ARE TO VOTE ON A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THE TERMINATION OF THE 2019/20 SEASON IN THE LADBROKES CHAMPIONSHIP, LADBROKES LEAGUE 1 AND LADBROKES LEAGUE 2
SPFL clubs are to vote on a resolution recommending the termination of the 2019/20 season in the Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League 1 and Ladbrokes League 2, with final season placings determined by points per game in league matches played to date by each club.
The resolution also recommends that matches in the Ladbrokes Premiership remain postponed for the time being, to give the best possible opportunity for the remaining 2019/20 fixtures to be played.
However, if the SPFL Board determines that the remaining Premiership matches cannot be played, the Ladbrokes Premiership would also be terminated, with final season placings determined on the same basis.
The Cabinet Secretary for Health announced on 17 March that NHS Scotland had been put on an emergency footing for at least 12 weeks until 10 June. In addition, the Scottish Government also publicly advised that expectations are that restrictions could remain in place for at least 13 weeks.
That means the remaining fixtures in Ladbrokes League Season 2019/20 and the related play-off competitions cannot be scheduled without significantly damaging the SPFL’s ability to start and complete, on time, League Season 2020/21 and next Season’s Betfred Cup.
The SPFL has therefore today circulated a written resolution to its 42 Member Clubs recommending that SPFL clubs approve:
the immediate termination of Season 2019/20 for the Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2, without the remaining fixtures in the League being played;
all play-off competitions being cancelled; and
final season placings to be determined by the number of points per game earned by each club in the matches they have played. This would result in the following final divisional tables for Season 2019/20 in the Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2:If approved, this would result in the promotion of Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, and the relegation of Partick Thistle and Stranraer.
If the resolution is approved, the SPFL has also committed to consulting with Clubs over the possibility of League restructuring ahead of Season 2020/21.
SPFL Chairman Murdoch MacLennan said: “These are extraordinarily difficult times for our entire country and, like every sports body worldwide, we have been wrestling with the enormous challenges caused by the outbreak.
“To their credit, every single club in the SPFL has been committed to completing the remaining fixtures for Season 2019/20, but they also all recognise we must prioritise the safety of players, officials and fans, and ensure our emergency services are given every possible assistance to focus on their vital work. Many football people have friends or family who are working with the emergency and health services or who have been affected by this awful virus and I have been struck by the strong sense of solidarity shown by everyone in our sport.
“The communication from the Scottish Government at least gives us a degree of clarity, meaning it will now be impossible to fulfil the remaining fixtures in the Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2 without causing huge financial damage and uncertainty for Clubs in those Divisions. We have recommended a way forward which we firmly believe enables the best possible outcome for Scottish football in these very demanding and unique circumstances.”
SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster added: “As a Board, we have consulted extensively with clubs in all four divisions since football was suspended on 13th March and have taken expert legal and commercial advice.
“Now is the right time to act. Very regrettably, we must face the reality that it’s simply not possible for the remaining Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2 fixtures to remain postponed without causing significant further financial harm to clubs in those divisions. Further, many of our clubs are experiencing very challenging organisational and financial circumstances.
“Everyone in our game and in the country generally, is wrestling with the devastating impact of Covid-19. They all know there are no easy answers or simple solutions, but the Board’s recommended proposal will give us a far greater degree of certainty, minimise the harm to the game overall, and enable us make end-of-season fee payments now to Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2 clubs.
“The position for the Ladbrokes Premiership remains particularly complicated. Everyone is aware of UEFA’s desire for the family of European football to work together to resolve the issues that confront us all. We are keen to work with UEFA and remain in discussion with them over the situation in Scotland.
“The quicker we reach a final position the better, but there is no doubt this is the most complicated and challenging situation our game has faced in living memory.”

Just seen this from the same source.
Leagues have been warned that their clubs could be barred from playing European football next season if they cancel their competitions prematurely due to the coronavirus crisis.
Uefa, the European Club Association and the European Leagues body have said cancellation should be a “last resort” and warned that there may be severe sanctions for those that flout such guidance.
In a joint letter sent to Europe’s national FAs, leagues and top division clubs, Uefa president, Aleksander Ceferin, ECA chairman Andrea Agnelli and Lars-Christer Olsson, president of European League, emphasised their determination to complete the 2019/20 campaign, even if that meant playing matches in July and August.

Celtic will be recognised as Scottish champions, Aberdeen will be awarded the country’s spare Europa League place, there will be no expansion of the SPFL Premiership, but the winter break would be axed, for next season at least, according to soundings taken by Telegraph Sport.
The SPFL has yet to resolve the many issues created by the truncation of its league schedules because of the Covid-19 lockdown and, as always, there are contending points of view amongst clubs, but a desperate need for income is now driving the agenda for many.

I got the distinct feeling that Cormack realised instantly that he'd dropped himself right in the shit, Tom English was not for letting it go at all.
The voting timeline could prove damning.
