foghorn leghorn 608 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Back in season 1939/40 the old 1st division was abandoned in September 1939 due to the outbreak of WW2, Rangers were top of the league by 1 point and were awarded what they called an 'Emergency League', but didn't count or it would be 55 now. What if in dire circumstances and coming to a compromise, give them this title, but didn't count and they stay at 8 in a row. From what I've read it's Rangers, Hearts and St Johnston are the only teams who object to the current standings being final. This isn't what I want, but a compromise.

Different competition which was played to a conclusion and wasn't organised by the only sanctioned organising body in the country, which is why it doesn't count as an official win. If it wasn't organised by the SFL (or the SPL/SPFL post-1999) it's not an official league. We won the regional west league, Falkirk won the east league and we beat them in a playoff for the 'national' title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a law to themselves and only work for the benefit of one club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Surely if the precedent is set by giving cellic the title then this would be the standard for every other league under the SFA's jurisdiction in Scotland ? Quite simply you can't just have one member of an association with thousands of teams benefiting from a Pandemic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won the regional west league, Falkirk won the east league and we beat them in a playoff for the 'national' title. I’m sure the Emergency wartime leagues, both Eastern and Western, were run by the Scottish Football League. The football was suspended on the 13th of September 1939 and the Scottish Football League set up a committee to look at setting up regional league competitions. They were granted permission by the Home Secretary on the 26th of September and play resumed a month later. The suspended league was null and void and the Energency Regional Leagues were unofficial.

It wouldn't be just one member benefiting. Quite a few would. Anyone who finished in a higher position than last season.

However if all the other leagues in Europe don't declare champions if seasons can't be done by uefa deadline. I think the SPFL will follow suit. They won't want to be the only ones that do it. I think more than anything it will come down to what the English premiership do. If liverpool get the title, guaranteed the taigs get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

writingranger 1,413 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I have a solution. They play 3 games in 5 days away at livingston, kilmarnock and Hamilton on their plastic pitches. If they win all 3 they get to play a "cup final " against us at hampden. The winner is the champion. All matches to be refereed by Dutchmen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
