..... so Scotland, Wales and NI won't be doing this then?

The Minister can only speak for NHS England: health is devolved. AFAIK Nicola hasn't set a target. Probably sensibly!

Everyone and his dog knows that NHS matters are devolved so will the SP follow suite or will they try just to be a little bit different? Guess they need a little time to figure that one out but wouldn't it be good if those  over 18 years of age could look forward to receiving a vaccination? Surely you don't think that's a bad idea do you?

Hey! Adult footballers could play again, the Development Leagues could function, officials could officiate, spectators could attend matches.

What did I say to make you think that?

It would be splendid if everyone in Scotland could be vaccinated by late summer/early autumn. I was simply pointing out that no-one has yet said that will happen.

Genuinely pleased that you don't seem to think that it is a bad idea!

With the jabs on the increase over the next few months, and the hopeful lowering of figures - just put this season on hold and get around to a full completion when possible. All non league football has nowt to do with the Euro's taking place, we don't need the chaos of another null and void fiasco. If that means next season maybe different, so be it.

Cases already on the way down. Hospital admissions and deaths will remain high for 28 days or do after the cases peak but I think the number of cases are the important figures in terms of lockdown restrictions. Hopefully football will be back by March.

Stick a fork in it. This season's done. Next season will hopefully be back to normal.

Why even if only play each team once it at least gives us a season

Yeah, maybe they could do that. The original layout of the season was always going to tough to achieve and is now nigh on impossible. I really hope I'm wrong but I just can't see it.

What chaos? 3 stand alone leagues with no promotion and relegation and one won't exist next year 

[Andy groundhopper 224]

Was basically the shambles of how to end all the league's in both England and Scotland, PPG etc etc. Should have come from the top, a bit of leadership, far fetched I know. Hopefully next season can be a bit nearer normality with all clubs still intact with fans back !
