This in one sport, there should be a clear lead from the overarching governing bodies, and it should be cascaded down. Uefa should be providing guidance on how this is played out for all of Europe, as the virus is effecting all of Europe. If the rules are complex and say that leagues where over 70% have been completed, then a certain model is applied, then fair enough. If less than 70% has been completed, then it is voided, then fair enough. What is not acceptable IMO is that one league takes one action, another takes a different view and the sport is decided on completely different criteria. I bet the football authorities here are dying for some sort of intervention/guidance from UEFA, it would take the heat of them big time. They absolutely cannot win with this one. I agree totally, UEFA need to be the ones who decide here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't recognise it as their title though It's not really what we recognise though it's what the record books say. We said the same thing back in 2012 till we were back but they still counted them. They are tragic bastards but if the shoe was on the other foot I guarantee all of us would be demanding the title of we were ahead in the league at this stage.

There are too many different sets of circumstances for UEFA to insist it goes one way. Italy think they'll get back playing again, we don't. How do you have a solution which suits both?

Different leagues will always take different views and actions. I agree 100% they should all abide with set rules. For me a season must be completed for the placing to be decided. For me if not complete then it’s void. You cannot have anyone being called winners without winning it. It makes it farcical. You cannot relegate a team when the league was unfinished.

There are other clubs who would probably have gone on to win titles or achieve promotion but circumstances beyond the control of our sport mean that the remaining games are unlikely to be played. I think back to Aguero’s goal to grab the title a few years ago. You would never have awarded Man City the title with 9 seconds to go, never mind 9 matches. You cannot advocate awarding prizes on “probably” then bitch about common sense or fairness. Nobody is awarding anything on probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real aren't going to hand the title to Barcelona, just because they got their noses in front on that week. Likewise with Juventus, Lazio and Inter.

bluenoz 30,647 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 The probability of Helicopter Sunday was low, the probability of Aguero's goal in the 95th minute to win the EPL was low, the probability of us catching the scum this year is low but it exists. They cannot award them the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
