Don't think they decide anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Don’t know ins and outs just heard it on news so assuming players want to finish season and surely they should have some sort of input in the final outcome ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Pub League Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 At the First Ministers presser today she said the football season is over. If (when) they shut the schools they'll have to do so for 3 months - people just need to look at the scientific information to see that we wont be watching live football until at least August and as a by product of that there is no way this season can be finished and then next season completed by next June. Someone somewhere has to make hard decisions about voiding or taking current places as the final standings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Informer Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 whatever the “big” leagues do, cannot be copied by leagues at our level? There are to many variables to consider before even thinking about finishing the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave a rationale, if I may, what's yours? I'm genuinely interested. Teams have played the matches, invested in the season. Some with success, some without. That’s part of football. Take away promotion and relegation, take away everything we have played for, and not much is left. And if Corona second wave comes next March, will we void again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Corona second wave comes next March, will we void again?Playing and investing, with success and failure IS part if football; if all the games have been played. An arbitrary you go up and you go down without anyone having the chance to succeed or fail through actually playing all the games is just wrong. I don't know what we should do if we get Covid-20, or any other disaster. Right now, I just think you either play all games or void. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine if they were pretty unanimous in saying they don't feel safe playing then that would make the governing body listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s far from ideal but it’s less bonkers than ‘just pretend these 28 games haven’t happened or not bother with the remaining games. far more just for teams to win/lose because their squad is different than to have it decided off the field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Believer Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 So we agree. Play all the games or, if we can't, the season should be voided? I am saying all games should be played, even if it means a different format next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voiding is my least favored option. Any other solution is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
