Bears r us 30,797 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 26 minutes ago, Howsitgoing said: Whilst the 18 team league might have its advantages it’s not something that can be decided in a rush, sky has already agreed a deal with our 12 team league. This increasing the league is all to win votes to allow for their number one concern, the gifting of their team a league title. Keeping the option of league reconstruction out of the equation ensures that the vote for titles to be handed out at a whim with promotion and relegation occurring due to this process, won’t happen. I will be honest I think the two 18s would not work (36 teams?) but I would like to see that petition signed my as many as possible, the idea of having a look at the leagues is also a good idea IMO, but it is the first part 'null and void' I want to push first.

Scottish football isn't the first place that's happened. Chile's league done it in November and I never heard a peep about the integrity of the sport being damaged. Almost as it it wasn't.

To be honest mate, there are examples in other sports for and against the honest and fair solution we favour. But, if you stick to football, since the 1800s, a contest if incomplete, is abandoned and restarted. People want precedent, how’s two fucking centuries suit you? Let me take you back to 2005. Imagine the filth supporters invade the pitch thinking the game is over after 88 minutes. The crossbar is damaged and the final two minutes can’t be played. No Scott McDonald heroics and no need for helicopters to change direction. Would the SPL just say “och, sellick were gonnae win it anyway”? This is the essence of this sport. Play to the final whistle or don’t play at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
