bluenoz 30,287 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 It took the NBA to take matters into their own hands when it should have been dealt with by the Trump administration who continues to undermine the severity of the outbreak. If I were DK, I would set a precedent and say Rangers will not participate in any more games until further notice. In this way they make the SFA & UEFA look like fools which they are. How can you possibly allow Madrid & Leverkusen supports onto UK soil in a time like this? There is more to life than money and titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclean RFC 1,244 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 the end result is a massive financia hit globally, no point making it worse and prolonging it. a national emergency needs to be called and people giving a chance to prepare, then we all go into isolation.

BillyG91 5,400 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If the league is cancelled you can bet those cunts will add an Emergency Title to their honours if the SFA do award it which they probably will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 41,914 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The way this is accelerating now I doubt we will even play the taigs. BCD ain't working anywhere. Can you imagine the old firm behind closed doors? UEFA are meeting this morning and will probably end up cancelling the tournaments and then pressure the FAs to scrap their own seasons. SFA will buckle straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you possibly allow Madrid & Leverkusen supports onto UK soil in a time like this? There is more to life than money and titles. Trump has banned flights between europe (currently excluding uk) for up to 30 days. We've been letting in flights from some of the worst affected cities ie Madrid and countries ie Italy (locked down) as recently as yesterday. Weve allowed Cheltenham to go ahead plus welcomed fans from risk areas to Anfield and Ibrox. Seems US is getting ahead of this more than the uk is now.

ZZed 4,510 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If the league is cancelled then this would be the perfect time to restructure the leagues in to 2 leagues, so Hearts don't go down and Dundee Unt come up. I personally would also change the timing of the season and go for a summer league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyc06 6,902 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I get the feeling that the Govt are going to ban spectators from attending all games across the country. possibly including Sunday. The question will be whether the SPFL decides the games go ahead behind closed doors in an effort to complete the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games played to that point was the final standings. I'm not saying the SFA wouldn't declare them champions, but no-one would take them seriously and they would never live it down if they tried to claim it as a title win. Edit: obviously being the club with no shame they would still claim it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
