If they are awarded it without winning it, the game is gone & it’ll be forever a tainted title/asterisk required. Tbh I am an optimist I still thought we could win it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at celtic over the last 20 years. He gets bears arguing with each other over him mate with his constant rebuttals .

Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Also if you look at the list of Egyptian league winners two seasons in a row just under 10 years ago were stopped early and they are also marked with no champion. Its happened before so why not now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman36 3,455 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Funny how the excuse for being gifted the title is money. Where was the thought of money when we were punted down to the bottom division? Back then it was "sporting integrity". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can still do this”. Thats the reality of the situation no matter what anyone says. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Aberdeen have joined Rangers & Hearts confirming they will vote against the proposal. Needs one more, likely to be Hibs.

Even if we got to play st johnstone we still have 2 games against them lol. You cant give someone an advantage for a completely new season. If you cant play a season out it has to be null and void lol. What is so complex with that. It's simple. Nothing complex about it at all, as I agree with you. This should be the solution, but it’s not going to be. my point about what I said is what I deem to be the next best thing for a fairer solution. Because what is going to be voted on is not fair for 2 teams in the league but will suit the 9 other teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'm glad Rangers are countering. I just think the end result is known, the spfl will get this implemented to hand the scum the title one way or another, we just dont want to accept it yet.

Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Season ends Positions stand Prize monies given out for positions Euro places for positions No Champion No relegation No promotion Move on and prepare for the start of a new season whenever that may be.

Brubear 2,920 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It is looking more and more likely they are getting handed the title. I see Dempster now saying SPFL should challenge the UEFA ruling regarding CL and EL entry next season. Hibs are obviously happy with awarding celtic title, as are Aberdeen, probably Motherwell as they finish in a EL place. The mid table teams not really affected and near the bottom they will all vote for it (except Hearts) to avoid the bullet of potential relegation. I appreciate the vote is over all leagues but the premier clubs will drive the debate. EDIT I see EBL above saying Sheep are with us. That is a U-turn from statements by new owner and Mcinnes last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Diddy teams up here are as desperate as most think, or want to think, including the SFA. Most have had their big paydays this season(us and them a few times this season), and most will probably budget for a season without us and them, and for a year at least in the Championship (maybe with the exception of Aberdeen).
