craigkillie Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If you look closely there is a "?" at the end. [emoji6] It wasn't a rule, it was a question of whether that is something that would need to be introduced in order to retain a level playing field. Edit: Tell you what, flip it around to your team. The games that were postponed are now being played, the transfer window opens with 2 games left and both you and Motherwell are vying for 3rd. Suddenly Motherwell announce two big signings just before you are due to play. How would you feel about that? Clearly we play games when the window is open, but essentially the transfer window was introduced to stop teams buying in players at the tail end of the season.Teams sign players in the January transfer window and nobody finds that in the slightest bit strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, if it did happen like that, we'd at least have half a shout to get another couple of defenders in....we've been right on a knife-edge for weeks and Wednesday pushed us into full on crisis. The thought of having a few fit full backs and midfielders for a run in would be OK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 2 hours ago, John MacLean said: Best solution moving forward when football does, finally, get back playing would be just pick up season 2019-2020 whenever that is and irrespective of changes to club's squads due to contract expiry. Season 2020-2021 starts immediately afterwards and/or in an abridged form. No League Cup perhaps, just two league games between teams instead of four and hopefully things are back to normal in time for July 2021 and the 2021-2022 season. Said something similar to the Mrs - next season’s League Cup should be scrapped immediately. The group stages as glorified pre-season friendlies are pish anyway. Also, get next season’s Bells B&Q Ramsdens Petrofac shite kicked into touch so hard that its arse won’t hit the ground until it lands at TNS’ doorstep. Announce an earlier start to next season, and it starts by picking up the remainder of this season’s fixtures exactly as they were supposed to be. Right now - start work on a new shortened format for the new season that will follow the conclusion of this one. Something that sees everyone start on zero points, but not the normal length of season. I don’t know - play each other three times or something. Home and away, aggregate result determines home advantage for the third meeting, split the gate at the third meeting. Fcuk knows, but at least you would have the time between now and then to figure something out. Player contracts and transfer windows are a complication, but the whole damn thing is complicated. Major issue to all of this though is that if we start early next season in any guise, Celtic will kybosh the plan because it’ll interfere with them playing Manchester United in a glamour friendly in Chicago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a go at you m74 , but what if it was your club in Celtics position ? Would you be happy to have everything cancelled and to start again next season , when 9 in a row and another potential treble is on the cards ??

Get some fucking perspective you utter c**t. It was an awful statement from him. As you say he came across as a totally uncaring c**t. People are ill, anxious and in a number of cases dead and all he cares about is winning a title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I wonder whether clubs will continue with their training activities. If they don't, there's going to be a fair few waddlers when the season starts again. I think we all know who I'm talking about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Fitlike Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Complete the league season with one huge penalty shoot out bonanza...

The hardest c**t from each club gets put on the Hampden pitch and they all knock f**k out of each other and the last man standing wins the treble and European entry for his club ?? Obviously it’d be behind closed doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of having a few fit full backs and midfielders for a run in would be OK It's a fair point. We could certainly do with a few weeks to get those who are going to be fit, fit. It's only mid-March, so it's still some time away, but if other teams were going to take advantage of a "late season window" then I'd hope we'd do the same. Wasn't it 00/01 when we were put down by a United team that brought in a ton of players, or was that during the window? Must be round about that time they were introduced. 1 hour ago, craigkillie said: Teams sign players in the January transfer window and nobody finds that in the slightest bit strange. Yeah, I covered that in my post, but you have to accept there is a difference and quite a significant one too. There is a reason it's in January and not April or May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
