And it is the rule change that is being criticised as unfair. You are therefore putting the cart before the horse. This new habit that you have adopted is becoming quite annoying. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartyftd1 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Best way of doing this is just promoting two teams from each league. No relegation. Brora and Kelty prompted to league 2. Premiership will have 14 teams splitting into 2 after playing each other home and away. Each group then play each other home and away again. Sky still get their 4 OF games. Best solution imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartyftd1 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 With one team sitting idle every week after the split? Yeah a one week break won’t cause too many issues I don’t think. Clubs have free weeks throughout the season if knocked out of cup competitions so one extra free week wouldn’t be an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 To be fair the issue with the one team idle situation is the Austria World Cup fix. I think you’d be better splitting it 6 and 8, splitting after 3 rounds rather than 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Frazelle Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Just now, Dele said: With one team sitting idle every week after the split? I guess the only real issue with that is that a team could finish their games before the final day of the season, but need certain results to go their way, giving the other team/teams an advantage... And that's a pretty big potential issue to be fair. Could end up with a 'Germany-Austria scenario'... However, all said, as a jags fan, I wholeheartedly support this proposal! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 So say it’s voted through don’t think it will be and uefa carry out their threat to clubs trying to curtail their leagues.Would you then have lower leagues back in August and top league back in say October 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That'll be the Rangers executive getting kicked off the board lolAhhh nothing like a Rangers vs SPFL war or words to cheer up the times we're in atm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Allegations of 'bullying' being thrown about and Lachlan Cameron essentially confirming clubs are being blackmailed to accept this deal: I reckon Rangers have a point tbf. The money can be dished out without having to pass this through. ETA: Although the SPFL calling Rangers out on incompetence is hilarious and made me be a total fence sitter on this matter now. I'm here to eat popcorn, stir the pot and enjoy the ride from now! Edited April 10, 2020 by Speroni*1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Fair play to boys able to sit and reply back and forth with that Lachlan boy from Ayr. Certainly wouldn't be me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - “The alternative is further weeks, and possibly months, of uncertainty and financial hardship for dozens of clubs which are desperately looking for a way to survive.” That's an absolute shit show from the SPFL. And it's not as catchy as ARMAGEDDON. Piss poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Abstain from their competition and start our own. Refuse Celtic and Rangers admission. Sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that just leaves the SPFL proposal unless someone can come up with another proposal before the SPFL pull the plug on the lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If this proposal went through could that open the door for individual players suing the SPFL if relegation clauses kick in or they are released? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
