Negri's lovechild 13,593 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It's not a difficult premise to grasp. Null and void is the preferred action for most of us but that is looking increasingly less likely to happen. The league cannot continue. The league has not reached the 38 game target required for a fair end to the season, one in which a champion can be crowned. The league must therefore be stopped at the current point, not completed. That's the key part of it. League position are called as final positions, no champions, no relegation. It allows European places to be assigned based on current positions. A title does not need to be given as the full season hasn't been fulfilled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone's burying their head in the sand. It's a Rangers forum full of Rangers fans so it's fairly obvious that you constantly talking them up for the title will provoke reactions of a varying degree of annoyance. Certain posters on here get wound up regardless of what I post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id prefer football wasn't suspended, we hadn't shat the bed after the winter break and we weren't sitting in a position where theres little idea of when there's going to be anymore football.

The clubs are currently voting on whether the team at the top of the table when the season is prematurely ended will be champions. I know that. But you're saying the team at the top when the season is prematurely ended must be champion. Just because that's what is being voted on doesn't make it the only way of doing things.

Pretending or expecting anything different is just setting ourselves up for disappointment. There's virtually no chance that they won't award titles with 80% of the season already played.

Still time for that to change as there will be a lot of phonecalls/bargaining tomorrow but that’s how it stands at the moment As long as they fail with thier grab at 9. How the season can end with any clubs being relegated or promoted just flys in the face of human suffering which has been caused by the Global pandemic. And if there plan fails lets never let them hear the end of what they tried to do. Filth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd still get ALL the benefits and rewards of being champions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
