mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 At the end of the day A league system has to be fair. In the SPFL we play the same teams, the same number of times to earn our right into the portion of the 'championship split / Relegation split'. This league has been suspended prior to us having played the same number games, played the same teams the same number of times. We have not even reached the split. With this inherent unfairness, it cannot be allowed for one club to be crowned the 'champions' as it has not been played over an even playing field. Sporting integrity was banded about plenty in 2012, and as much as we moaned, we in the end had to accept it and have dealt with it. Now it is time that 'Sporting Integrity' is put to the test to see if it was purely about the jealous punishing of one club, or if it genuinely does mean something to the Scottish game. We are not playing Football Manager here. We cannot and must not accept clicking on the 'Go on Holiday' button and allow a league title to be gifted to anyone without it being won on a fair playing field.

BillyG91 5,512 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Yup, it should be but most likely they will still award them the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helicopter Sundae 5,986 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If this last OF match had been played on Sunday, then the outcome would have been clearer. If they had won, going 16 clear, the result of the league would have been completely settled. Had we won, it would have kept the possibility alive, so "in fairness", they could not claim it. This way is the best of all possible worlds,. where they get fucked out of a league, and we can rip the piss out of them. KARMA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you are running into the period where European Qualifiers would be scheduled to happen. Only way I can see this working is that they either cancel European football next season, or seasons are voided across nations with it reverting to the finishing league positions at the end of last season.

gmcf 34,152 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Can't see why it shouldn't be voided - nobody's won it . If you were playing the game of ' well it's obvious c....c are going to win it ' , then there was no point in playing the league the years we were down the divisions .

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If celtic fight against it being voided they are going to look like heartless selfish cunts. But we need to make sure they look like that, because our Scottish media, or Rangers will not. We need to make sure we highlight their behaviour in this if it comes to it. People dying and all celtic care about is a title in a football match etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Germany are planning to restructure if their season cannot get back up and running. No champion will be named. Teams will be promoted and no-one will be relegated. Yet we are just to accept that celtic will be gifted a title we could have won? Not a fucking chance.

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 The Deutscher Fussball-Bund (DFB), the country's football association, have reportedly put a proposal together which would see no champion or relegation. Instead, the German top-flight would expand to 22 teams, allowing four to come up from 2.Bundesliga, for next season. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/Rangers/coronavirus-scottish-football-suspended-what-it-means-Rangers-v-celtic-and-spfl-2449580 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,284 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If the league can't be completed then null and void it. Start fresh next season. Other leagues are talking about not crowing champions. Why shouldn't we follow suit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember a case where a certain bunch of cunts ..... after being totally humiliated in both games ..... got through to the next round due to an opposing player from the Polish side being unregistered ...... albeit mistakenly? Not he exact same as you state .... but similar in as far as "Sporting Integrity" is concerned ....... or as we used to say ...... Rules is Rules ........ unless of course they are changed to suit a certain bunch of cunts ..... again. 🇬🇧 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddybear1975 2,014 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 These unprecedented set of circumstances will imo highlight the bias and corruption in scottish football. I hope the decision is taken out of the sfa hands. League should be void and restructure of leagues put in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 42,505 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Just watching the timplosion is good enough for me just now. I dont mind waiting a few months for the SFA to say its null n void. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
