This is a definition of season which is subsumed by the significant rule that teams shall play 38 games. Tbh I think it's pretty desperate stuff to read that and think its giving legitimacy to chopping off games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 108,793 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 A good point i seen is that in league 1 falkirk and Raith ard split by a point. How. Can you tell one team they're up and not the other. I'm glad it's hearts at the bottom as they'll never take being relegated when it's not mathematically impossible for them to stay up. I think if other leagues just cancel the season then its fucked up here for awarding the papes the league. I think every club in 1st or 2nd and relegation and European places could and probably would win cases at the CAS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,631 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Be interesting to see the spfl next move cause the season is done. Seen folk mention push the euros back till 2021 . This virus ain't gonna peak for another 3months yet so that's early June. If we can't play football now we've no chance during that period. Then you've got the extremely late start to season 20/21. Probably talking about mid September so do u just bin the league cup next season. We can't finish this season then next season for the euros next summer. Void this season and 20/21 season starts august Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 There has already been speculation in Germany as to what would happen if the season is cancelled. The Deutscher Fussball-Bund (DFB), the country's football association, have reportedly put a proposal together which would see no champion or relegation. Instead, the German top-flight would expand to 22 teams, allowing four to come up from 2.Bundesliga, for next season. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/Rangers/coronavirus-scottish-football-suspended-what-it-means-Rangers-v-celtic-and-spfl-2449580 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always going to be potential that there are a set of circumstances that could see a club with a particular backlog of games they are unable to fulfill or something forcing the suspension of the competition. Its always going to be highly unlikely but is still a possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone at Rangers that remotely agrees with him can take a fuck to themselves. They simply need to say nothing is as yet determined and will await clarification of existing rules and obviously see how the postponement duration pans out.

But that is different from all teams not playing 38 games and the league being concluded and awards handed out based on league positioning. Clubs in the premiership shall play 38 games is the substantial requirement in a Preniership season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
