Is it just the 2 Dunfermline games ? That would be 2 games out of about 40 ? If there were a whole bunch more, I could understand the argument about the extra split matches in L1 & L2 causing a problem Rovers vs Inverness also called off. Even a 18 game season has Clyde playing twice a week, every week until the end of the season without an extension in place. Even if an extension gets given they need to have 18 games played by that point to be ready for the split. Why happens if they are forced into isolation for 10 days? That’s going to be at least 3 fixtures missed. Where are they fitted in? I think it’s a near certainty a side are going to have to call games off due to Covid, 2 championship clubs in the last 6 weeks have found positive cases. I think it’s highly unlikely that none of the 20 clubs restarting will find positives in a similar time frame. Edit- it should be remembered that the split proposal guarantees some clubs will be playing Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday at some point within those 2 weeks extension being seeked.

They were only just getting back after being punished for the Celtic overseas jolly! That might be the case, but one thing is certain... Rangers will get absolutely Zero punishment for the disgraceful scenes yesterday! Sickening 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that one or two clubs will have postponements - but not the wholesale situation that the SPFL’s statement suggested. Have you seen a proposed schedule for the split. If it is a two week extension and each club has 4 games to play, does that not mean just 2 games in a week ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a two week extension and each club has 4 games to play, does that not mean just 2 games in a week ? One or two clubs requiring postponements has a knock on effect on 5 or 6 clubs. All 20 clubs might have backed the proposal, But that doesn’t make it workable, clubs like Clyde or Brechin have good reason to seek to play more games, but they need to provide an answer on how they can fit them in, or what to do if they can’t. The split is 4 games each, but you need 5 rounds of fixtures to account for the spare team every week, so unless they move game 18 forward a few days(which as shown will be a very difficult task) the fixtures would need to be along the lines of Tuesday 4th may Saturday 8th may Tuesday 11th may Thursday 13th may Saturday 15th may Each team will sit out 1 round of fixtures. So if your the side that sits out the first Tuesday you have a very busy schedule going into the playoffs. You can move the Thursday games to the first week but I’m not sure that helps much.

Tbf It's probably not the right place for this discussion however I don't think it's fair to blame the police for the scenes yesterday. They were hugely outnumbered so wading in and nicking folk was not going to end well. That being said, it was no secret there was going to be thousands of them descending on ibrox as it was all over social media for weeks, as is the planned gathering at George Square. Maybe a bit of pro active policing wouldn't have gone astray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullyweehutch Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Mental to think that after everything rangers and Celtic will have done from the start of this season till tomorrow morning they will have faced not a single punishment yet leagues 1 and 2 have been shut down for weeks. Also that 2 years ago an admin error warranted 4 points deducted but nothing those 2 scum bag clubs have done is worthy of any punishment. Can all 40 clubs get together and vote to kick them both from the leagues...oh wait they practically run the fucking leagues 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
