That wording is accurate and makes perfect sense logically and within the structure of the sentence. That's good but it's not right according to rule c38 of the SPFL Rules and Regulations. The answer is Season. Which, just incase you forgot, is defined thus: 'Season means the period of the year commencing on the date of the first League Match in a Season and ending on the date of the last League Match in the same Season or otherwise as determined by the Board and which excludes the Close Season.'

Ive removed the parts that arent relevant. I'll add them back in if it then allows you to complete the rule with your definition of season ( from the rule book) with it making sense .

So just at the drop of a hat they can change the rules mid competition without any warning? Not at the drop of a hat but if circumstances dictate that the board can adjust the Season, they have the power to. And it seems they've been briefing clubs thats exactly what they'll do.

Can you put a link up to that ruling please. I have heard you mention it but it hasn’t been reported in the press which you would think it would as a push to claim their favourite team as winners.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The Spanish league authorities considering what to do if no more games are played. They are forming a joint commission to make a decision by March 25th. https://en.as.com/en/2020/03/12/football/1584040247_552698.html All options there including voiding the season .

It's the SPFL's definition of season. A definition of something typically slots in to replace the term it refers to. In this case season means period of the year..... etc. So you should be able to replace the term season with the drginutuon and it shoukd make as much sense as if the original term was used.

GovanFrontSince96 315 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 There’s 2 scenarios that can play out now. In a few weeks we realise that footballers and 97% of the population will shrug this virus off in 2/3 days and we start playing again and life returns too some normality. Or we cancel every game for the next year every time a footballer contracts Coronavirus and every office in the country self isolates everytime someone contracts it etc and the country financially implodes on itself. I’m going for the former to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
