(conspiracies/hollicom/snake eyes notwithstanding) is there an actual reason? Most likely their inability to make a decision at the best of times along with the fact they have no reserve fund to help clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get the impressions this is turning into those who want to slow the virus and those who want to speed up Sellicks title bid. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preventing 50k people travelling and being together is indeed a sensible decision regardless of what some of them then choose to do. Enjoy your shopping.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The best solution is to start again once the peak is over. I would recommend a changed league. No relegation from the premiership but still promotion from the championship. Fair on all clubs plus an end to 4 times a season with the expanded league.

gj923 1,457 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 THE JOINT RESPONSE GROUP CAN CONFIRM THE DECISION OF THE SCOTTISH FA BOARD TO SUSPEND ALL DOMESTIC PROFESSIONAL AND GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE SCOTTISH FA UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE As a result, the SPFL has announced the postponement of this weekend’s and following midweek’s fixtures, starting with tonight’s Premiership match between Motherwell and Aberdeen and the Championship match between Queen of the South and Ayr United. The Scottish FA and SPFL will continue to liaise with governments and UEFA in relation to domestic, European and International fixtures in the coming days and more information will be communicated at the appropriate time. The Scottish FA Board made its decision in the interests of the health and safety of players, match officials, staff, supporters and the general public. Ian Maxwell, Scottish FA Chief Executive: “Since the guidance outlined by governments last night we have been engaged in extensive dialogue to clarify the position and implications of that guidance for Scottish football. “Today’s announcement is made in the interests of public health but, equally, the health and safety of players, match officials, and staff across the game. This is of paramount importance as the country enters the ‘delay’ phase of the coronavirus pandemic. “It is also why the Scottish FA is compelled to ensure that the suspension is cascaded through the non-professional and grassroots games until further notice.” Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive, said: “As everyone knows, this is a fast-moving and unprecedented situation for the entire country. “We have been in intensive and detailed discussions since last night and have also been taking on board the experience of our counterparts in England and across Europe. As a result, the board of the SPFL has agreed this morning that all league fixtures this weekend and next midweek will be postponed until further notice. “The health and safety of fans, players and officials is absolutely paramount. We have not yet had any confirmed cases of Coronavirus amongst players in Scotland, but, given the nature of this outbreak, it seems only a matter of time. “We realise that many people will be bitterly disappointed, and we would obviously prefer to be in a position where we can continue as normal, but that’s neither realistic nor possible.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,286 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Per usual it took others doing something before the SFA took action. A bit of common sense has prevailed here. If the league can't be finished still think it should be null and void, start fresh next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
