You're just making things up now. Where does it say we can ignore that rule and we can alter others to suit a narrative with the sole purpose to gift our favourite football team a league title and relegate a team that we don’t like.

So date to start and date to end or different dates to those as determined by the Board but not including the preseason. Meant close season. 4 minutes ago, The Dude said: You're adding bits that dont exist there. Season means the period of the year commencing on the date of the first league match in a season and ending on the date of the last league match in the same season or otherwise as determined by the board and which excludes the close season. Period of year commencing date (first game) and ending on date ( last game) or otherwise.... The section above is about a duration between dates. The otherwise imo clearly relates to dates. If your interpretation was correct, why would the definition not be: Season means the period of the year commencing with the first league match in a season and ending with the last league match in the same season or otherwise as determined by the board and which excludes the close season. The above would perfectly fit your narrative. But given the term date is applied it is clearly of significance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Heres my point, it might be a petty reason not to allow them to gift the the title to tarriers but if the shoe was on the other foot, does the dude, or anybody else who thinks we should accept the tarriers being gifted another title, think the tarriers would accept us being named champions and fucking up their 10iar ambitions or do you think they would fight with every last breath for a null and void?

It is just utter madness to award a league title, decide relegation etc on a incomplete season. Regardless of whether it can be completed or not, clubs are impacted, sporting integrity was called out in 2008 about extending the season. If it cant be completed in normal season. Void it.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 They don't need to void it to avoid giving the title to celtic though, do they? They can declare this year's title as vacant, use the current standings to allocate European places for next year and expand the league to allow teams "promotion" in a one-off season before reverting to normal the following year That would make everyone happy except celtic. 41 clubs >>> 1.

Have you mentioned this before, if not why wouldn't you have mentioned you had legal guidance, that's kinda significant? What is his legal input specifically? You have bought into this being the correct course of action, interpretation. You're stoically arguing this narrative. So dear ya its the spfl interpretation not yours when you evidently concur.

They certainly would not let us get the title without using every avenue to stop it, we know the dirty tricks they played in 2008. Unfortunately our board will probably be happy to say nothing about it. Before I read a few posts today saying UEFA had granted titles in 1990 when the Balkan's were in a war with each other, I had hoped they would make the season void, I am now concerned they will probably not do that if they have set a precedent in the past. 😡 The only hope would be Hearts maybe taking it to court but not sure if they would win it.
