Excellent from the club regardless of who wrote it! Was that him speaking yesterday on the podcast? I had to turn it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essandoh 21,208 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 A solid statement but I’m stunned it’s even required. If the PFA haven’t changed their stance then why does anyone believe that the season will be finished? It’s not happening. The footballers aren’t playing. End of discussion. Any effort by the SPFL/SFA to force this through is fucking abhorrently irresponsible. They might be footballers but they’re human beings like all of us. Why should they put themselves at risk for some make-shift desperate “finish” to the season? It’s ludicrous. If one - just one - Premiership player gets the virus or shows symptoms after being with his squad, then the entire team goes into isolation for 7 days if not a fortnight. And what if that’s discovered after that squad has played against another team? The players, and likely the staff, of that opposing team also have to go into isolation. And the refs. And the staff at the ground. And the fucking bus driver. The government have made their stance clear on mass gatherings, with the closure of schools soon to follow, but it’s perfectly safe for 30-40+ people to get together for a football match in a closed door training complex? Sweating everywhere, spitting everywhere, potentially breaking skin and bearing blood? Don’t be fucking daft. This isn’t even considering a nationwide lockdown being enforced, which looks increasingly more likely. The economy is almost certainly heading for a recession. Our NHS is already beginning to get overwhelmed. People are dying, and thousands more are certain to follow. Rangers are ethically obliged to challenge this.

Due to the insurmountable fixture list it’s now obvious that the league can’t be completed and due to that the rules we all adhere too will be breached hence the only outcome can be that the leagues void. All of Scottish football must now put full focus onto any teams that’ll be seriously affected because of this crisis. Rangers would be supportive of putting the monetary prizes that now can’t go for league positions into a fund to ensure these teams can continue and compete again next season. Obviously they can word it better but something on that lines is what I’d like to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
