Why cant the season be finished after the Euros then? We played the Scottish cup the following one. Also why start yet another season (21/22) when the same issues could arise when variant number 395 of Covid has been found in outermongolia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if he is or isn’t. If he is the that provides legitimacy to the ask. It should therefore have been reported as “chair of JRG” instead of the out of context SFA reference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could have been avoided. Surely Doncaster’s position is untenable now ? If he doesn’t resign he should be sacked for gross negligence. Sacked by who though? 4 hours ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Rumours Celtic are going to have a couple of players have symptoms tomorrow and take the £10K fine rather than play the game against Livingston with a weakened team. Why? They have a team full of international players available. Plus, what does it matter anyway? The league is long gone for them. 1 hour ago, Jacky1990 said: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55684189 So League One and League Two clubs get told the league is cancelled with hardly any heads up but the Championship clubs get written to asking for their opinions. Not suggesting the decision to suspend the lower leagues isnt the right one, but the inconsistencies in the way this is being handled between the different leagues is infuriating. The leagues weren't cancelled though. Of course there are inconsistencies between the leagues. The nature/composition of them makes it necessary. 38 minutes ago, Thereisalight.. said: Why cant the season be finished after the Euros then? We played the Scottish cup the following one.

The nature/composition of them makes it necessary. Cancelled is the wrong word to use....halted is more appropriate. I get the leagues are different, no disputing that. And i get why the Premiership and Championship are still being played. No issue with different decisions for the different leagues. What I fail to understand however is why Champoinship clubs are being consulted before any decision is made, yet the decision on the lower leagues was taken without such consultation. My issue is how the decisions are being made and the communication with clubs rather than the decision themselves. FWIW I have no issue with the clubs being consulted. But the SFA and SPFL are the governing bodies of all the leagues and should therefore be communicating consistently with each of the professional clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenHibee Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) If it did ever come down to a vote again on calling the leagues as they are or null+voiding, the latter would win every time across all divisions, especially cases like the Championship where only 10 games have been played. Think we will be out of this for good come April though! Edited January 16, 2021 by AberdeenHibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will be out of this for good come April though!The only sensible solution is to suspend promotion and relegation across all divisions this year. Get it going again if we complete a full season in May 2022.It’s a bit of a joke that teams are being promoted and relegated after a 27 game season anyway, particularly if top flight teams are playing 38 games. Now it’s looking like teams in the lower leagues will struggle to play 27 games. I hope top flight chairmen are looking into how we avoid this farce. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
