And yet there are people criticizing the Scottish government for "destroying children's education" because the government thinks it wise to postpone re-opening until after the summer holidays. Just imagine those people's reactions if schools did reopen now and children or their parents got infected............ I don’t know who are criticising the Scottish govt ? All the opinion polls tell you the public are behind her.....in fact a U.K. wide poll yesterday had 44% saying she handled the virus the best ....the idiot was on 19% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right in that those 2 are corrupt and in Lawwell's pocket, however they are very clever in manipulating votes. They didn't have a vote in terminating the lower leagues or in avoiding an independent inquiry, but still got the result that they wanted. It was the member clubs that cast the votes. The point I was trying to get across is that to have a League One season, with penalties for missed fixtures, the League One clubs would need to agree to this (probably 75%) and there is no way that is going to happen. Remember that the Championship sides had a meeting and came up with this 18 (maybe 27) game season proposal, however that is not yet confirmed, presumably because some clubs (QotS, Arbroath and Alloa ?) are not yet ready to commit and it doesn't yet have enough support from the member clubs. Back to Doncaster, McLennan and Lawwell. The fun boy 3 don't actually give a stuff about League One or Two (other than needing their support) so we can't rely on them for any manipulation in our favour.

Yet it is ok to relegate 3 clubs when the season has not been completed. Thanks AJ. That's how I remember it being described on Sportsound. Not a trace of irony from the SPFL!

Clyde are entitled to look after themselves but the last sentence is a bit rich considering the way they voted previously to end the season. These arguments were as applicable then too.

He was very cautious and said stage 2 will not necessarily start in 3 weeks time.Makes no difference to Thistle, it is the premier league that will start up first. We might not even have any games next season. It all depends on how many of the teams in our league can actually play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the SPFL better get on with it if thats what Celtic want. Premume they will have had their usual input into the order of the fixtures. Are they getting a wee break in December so they can have a lucrative trip to America ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Only sensible part of the Gypos statement The Hearts paper points to the possibility that some clubs might not play at all in the coming season. That is a serious and concerning issue for clubs, so setting a new structure now, when clubs might decide to ‘mothball’ for a season, risks further disruption, and perhaps the loss of all football for all clubs below the Premiership. Far better to establish who can and cannot play with the clearest possible view of the future, with perhaps a deadline set for when clubs decide.

Crikey, most people would bite their hand off for an offer like that. I actually don't think that the SPFL want 42 clubs to survive in all honesty.
