There’s talk of the league seasons being cancelled on Monday. therefore, winning this will ensure we stay top going into whatever decision they came up with next week. With pretty much a whole quarter to go, I doubt being top or bottom or anywhere ,is going to matter. If the authorities were to say that the league positions are final, do you think the clubs still in with a chance of their respective league are going to accept that? If the powers were to come to that decision , it could end up becoming a legal matter. It will be interesting to see what such an inept body does come up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the fans who have travelled the country, spent a lot of money following their team being told that we’ve done it for f**k all this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL/SFA say you're champions and getting the spot in the championship. Do you think Falkirk, East Fife and Aitdrie are going to say that's fine? Partick are going to say they're o.k. with getting relegated with a possible 24 points still to play for As for the fans following their team? That will not be a concern on any decision made. IMHO, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying not to labour the point, but is it fair on those teams still in with a chance of gaining automatic promotion? Let's say RR lose or draw tomorrow, and Falkirk win to top the league. On Monday the authorities announce Falkirk as league winners, you would be happy with that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the end result would be another year in this abyss of a league for Rovers. If there was no promotion or relegation then the end result would be the same. At least in that case we could say that the endeavour of all 10 teams over 29 games meant something. And I’d grudgingly admit that the best team over 29 games was Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) If the league gets suspended and there’s no realistic chance of finishing it then I’d rather whoever was top at that moment gets promoted than the whole season be scrapped as if it’s never happened. Even if that means it’s Falkirk. Then play the play-offs when football returns before you move onto the next season. No solution is ever going to be 100% fair, but we’ve got over two-thirds of a season to use as an indication of who deserves to go up. That’s better than just saying everybody stays down.

My username is ( almost ) a clue. Peterhead. I have no vested interest in who wins the league, obviously. I'm simply thinking the money men who own/run football clubs wont be thinking the same as yourself on promotion/ relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from on the point of having a finished article, but if you see my reply to "Rovers 1992-1993", the money guys at the respective clubs may not see it from a fan PoV? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I dreamt last night that we scored in the 85th minute to go 2-0 up then conceded 3 penalties in injury time. Peterhead scored the first 2 but Munro saved the 3rd. I didn't catch the Falkirk score though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This is week 28. We have been top for 21/28 weeks? If we are still 1pt clear on 53 pts and therefore still top in another 8 weeks then just give us the title. Simples!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
