Auld Heid Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Linlithgow are 6 points behind Tranent wi a game in hand and seem to be going along quite nicely this season which kinda fabricates it's only clubs at the bottom who dont want to continue. Correct.Yesterday at the FM briefing, she showed both her lack of interest in football and surprise at some of the concessions afforded to football - especially at our level.It was also quite clear, that only players and minimal possible number of support staff should be travelling to games. (Coaching staff / physio?). Committee travelling by default will / could fail to meet essential travel criteria.So now the subject has been raised - it won't take much for further restrictions to be introduced. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I make mistakes like that I want to know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pedant = a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning) As Gordon S said the two words have totally different meanings - not a minor detail I'd have thought. Neither was my comment illustrating a rule nor did it display "academic" learning. Pricey's comment gave me an image of clubs displaying a copy of the Covid rules and saying, "Here are the Covid rules," not of them showing a disregard for said rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRICEY Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 My apologies,I did of course get it wrong.Having coming very close to losing a member of my immediate family to covid,I tend to get a wee bit emotional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Pub League Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) That'll be the leagues off until April at the earliest. When they can get back to playing, finish off 20-21 with either each team playing the opposition once (so Tranent have 5 games to play, Jeanfield 9 to play etc)and then call promotion and relegation from there or PPG the existing tables and settle the issues from that, the likes of IHS and Blackburn were already as good as down so its only going to have a limited impact - makes sense compared to another year of null and void. Ditch the cups. Edited January 11, 2021 by Junior Pub League 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthteller Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 That’s the season finished because the covid 19 issue won’t be gone in 3 weeks. All the leagues will have to be voided and hopefully started again in August 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriot1 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Crap. This will no doubt put an end to the Lowland/Highland/League 2 playoff for another season. So much for a professional pyramid system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think they'll come up with something, just not the Colts + HL/LL sides expansion floated for the 5th/6th time in as many years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Correct decision. Stay safe everyone, let's beat the virus and get back to playing as soon as we can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 We *might* be off until April, or August, but we don't know and there's no value in jumping to hasty decisions. The number of cases in this second wave seems to have topped out in Scotland and is declining. If it declined at the same rate as it did in the first wave then we would be back down to a manageable number of cases within 2 months. We may be able to complete the leagues by June. I hope no decisions are made about ending or cancelling the season before, at the earliest, the end of March. There's just no need. As for those who say we shouldn't have started, we got 6 months of football and I'm grateful for that much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) No need to cancel the season. There's no reason why we can't play into June if needs be, have a short close season without pre-season friendlies, and bang on into 21/22 with a couple of weeks break. It may have an impact on play-offs though, they need to work on a contingency for that. Edited January 11, 2021 by Burnieman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Heid Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 This decision was likely forced upon the SFA following their failure to act over Celtic in Dubai.Not to mention all the non essential extra people attending away games who are breaching the essential travel rules.FM made it clear last week when the Dalbeattie situation was raised at her briefing. That only players and essential backroom staff to travel. At this level football isn't essential during a pandemic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
