The SFA should just grow a set of balls and just end it now. Any club who just wants to call the end of the season is welcome to put forward a proposal to be voted on to the spfl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the authority to suspend football from being played, they have no authority to tell individual league bodies how to respond to such a suspension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. I think every club basically just wants to be back playing football . The way things were going it seemed like there was not a chance in hell of starting anytime soon which prompted my opinion..........................yet here we are a few days later on the brink of starting again. Maybe . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It's not correct. There is no 42 Club vote to null and void a league. It only requires 8 clubs in their respective league to vote that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports in today’s Daily Record that there’s dissension between club chairmen in League Two. (Surprise ). The Elgin chairman is reported as saying that some want to play the full 27 games, even if this means playing three or even four times per week. Others want an 18 game season. Others want to void the season now. There are concerns about the cost of Covid testing, and also the loss of furlough payments. And concerns about potential chaos given that if eight clubs can’t agree on an alternative presumably all will have to play 27 games. There are also suggestions that Highland and Lowland clubs won’t want to play their Scottish Cup games, given that it’s unlikely that their leagues will restart. But presumably that may be easier to deal with as any team refusing to play will just be deemed to have withdrawn.

There aren't any Lowland teams left in the cup and, of the Highland teams, I can't imagine Brora would be keen to give up a home game with Hearts, likely on TV with the money that would therefore bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom & Gerry Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Elgin have already got friendlies lined up. Apparently ones Forfar.

On the one hand we have complaints about too many games, and on the other let’s arrange some friendlies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKAC Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 To be fair, I think you need to have friendlies to help the players get back up to speed before the competitive games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be a trapdoor given that the HL and LL are not resuming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
