I really feel sorry for St Mirren. But if you can't buy enough soap and follow the Covid 19 advice, then that's what happens

I genuinely think Falkirk have been hard done by with the league finishing early. However I do think Mr Deans has a bit of a cheek saying other clubs acted with no sporting integrity after his clubs recent record and the fine they had to pay - you can't always get everything your own way.

I know exactly what you mean - my Neice was stopped by the Guardia Civil while driving into Madrid and told that she could be fined thousands of euro if her journey was not necessary. These are strange times. Hopefully the football starts again soon with fans able to watch, here and in Spain!

Aim Fair point, well made - I can only take info from my family and friends in Spain.

Pet As you rightly say, only 43% of people voted. I fully appreciate that the whole voting thing was a joke - but I genuinely don't believe most Catalonians want independance from Spain ? Who really knows, but the family I have in Spain certainly don't want Catalonia to leave (that includes family members in Barcelona). Anyway, as said, I don't want to get into a big debate on something that is not my problem - just wanted to ask a question and wondered what people thought what would happen with the Spanish league. Being a Morton Fan i look forward to meeting up with Hearts next season - I haven't seen a Ton v Hearts game sine the 80's. I genuinely think Hearts have been hard done by (as have Partick, Falkirk etc) but these are strange times.

Wastecoatwilly i don't want to get into a political argument (you have your thoughts and I have mine) but my second home is in Madrid, where I have family. I kind of agree with them that Catalonia had a vote and decided to stay Spanish. Anyway, politics aside, do you think the Spanish League should have been called or finished behind closed doors?

Is Budge insane?

Hey Wastecoatwilly Hope you don't mind me asking, but why the 'Crown of Aragon' flag for your avatar, are you Catalonian? If so, how do you think the Spanish league will get going again ? Do you think they will get it up and running better than in Scotland?

Fair enough - But is throwing lots of cash at a Court battle they are unlikely to win the best option. I would have thought that money would be better spent on wages (unless the legal funds are coming from personal funds from board members?)

Dons - Good points well made. Do you think the league should have been called, null & void? Your right that Hearts had not yet been relegated, the same way Celtic hadn't won the league and others hadn't yet qualified for Europe. I fully appreciate your point on low paid workers, but is throwing money at a (probably doomed) Court battle the answer? As said, these are strange times, I just personally think that we have to accept the league is over and hope that we can have some (fan watched) football next season. i know there has been Clubs who have benefited and Clubs who have lost out - but under the circumstances I think there was no other way forward (again just my opinion)

I have nothing against Hearts, but I find it incredible in these times that they won't just accept relegation? Am I right in saying that they had only won 4 games (worst record in the league) and were 4 points adrift with the 2nd worst goal difference?. I appreciate that it must be really hard to take for club and fans - but I honestly think they should accept the decision and set themselves up for an attack on the Championship (why waste money on legal arguments?)

Have you ever been to Cappielow Park ? If you had, you would know it was a real ground - like 'Love St' (St Mirren Park), Douglas Park, Brockville, Somerset Park, Broomfield etc. Enjoy Legoland!

Sports wise it seems very unfair ( which it is), but I think the only way to deal with this situation is to make this season null and void I can't see any other way (sh1te as it is).

Why would it ? I agree that it would appear to be very unlucky, but under these sircumstanses I really don't see it has a 'travesty'

Vinnyjag, While I agree it would seem very unfair if the league stopped now and Dundee Utd were not awarded the league, but it just wouldn't be right. That would mean all clubs would have to stay in their current league positions (look what has happened in the past, The Ton managed to throw away a title, The Midden managed to pull themselves off the bottom). As you rightly say, it's a complex issue (and a financial nightmare for all clubs), but unless the league can be played out in full, I think it is unfair to award promotion or relegation! I know that's sh!te, but that just seems fair?
