Blanket defeats for teams who can't play due to covid? On another note. Why the f**k was the rules regarding this not decided before the season started? You can't do this halfway through the season. What an incredibly stupid idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I can't see this idea being that sensible. Although as a St Mirren supporter, we'd have been stung and gained from it, and with good number of the squad having had it, it might work out for us.... Plus we know if it happened to the OF they would shit it. Imagine, Rangers being given a 3-0 forfeit allowing Celtic to overtake them in the league. Never happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly after they ended up with egg on their face over the downtime period but it seems they've learned very little? Even the "in the event of having to curtail the season due to covid" again, that should have been dealt with prior to the season starting as well rather than waiting till nearly 3 months in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I think if there are 9 games or more to go, then the league should be declared null and void.Regardless of what happens, no teams should be promoted from the clown car 27 game diddy league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Deciding what to do if the league has to be ended prematurely again should have been decided before the season started, but making the decision now isn't a problem. Changing the rules on what happens in the event of postponements due to Covid-19 mid-season after there have already been several postponements however is a nonsense suggestion which can't be allowed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 8GamesToGo Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Glad to see the rest of the teams finally admitting how utterly incompetent Doncaster and the SPFL is now it might affect their own clubs. Not so fun when it's your club that might get shafted by his nonsense is it? If only more than a third of SPFL clubs had voted for an inquiry into the way Doncaster and co runs the league, instead of effectively giving him a vote of confidence to carry on making a giant mess of everything.

They asked the clubs to give the board powers about this and the clubs voted no. That was before the season started, not sure why they didn't after the no vote, draft up some procedures in case of a problem completing the season. In my opinion the season should be null and voided if the whole season isn't completed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Neil guided the SPFL through troubled and unprecedented Covid waters with grace and decorum whilst under vicious attack from ****, mini-**** and irrelevant third tier hangers on from Glasgow. He effortlessly swatted all of them aside. He helped to give the majority of Scottish football clubs what they wanted and deserves a pay rise if anything. Give Doncaster the executive powers he so craves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Clubs were firing out all sorts of league reconstruction proposals to be voted on over the summer. Why have no clubs put something forward regarding this yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day he'll have as many Premiership goals as Craig Halkett or Craig Wighton. You can but dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Shouldn't be too harsh on the spfl chaps, nothing mentioned about this down south either, after the pathetic ending to last season from the EFL down to non league with the non-promotions etc. Think folk expect miracles sometimes, they're being consistently incompetent, no one's surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 St Mirren apparently think they can get players who were isolating on Saturday back for their next fixture. Neil Lennon will lose the plot if they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you just supposed to just "take your medicine"? Ross County were elected into Division 3 in 1994 after decades of clubs like yours voting to keep Highland League teams out of the league. I'll take great delight in Uncle Roy making Hearts taste their own medicine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
