JM1872 3,708 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 There is absolutely no plausible reason as to why football should stop as a result of Covid-19. Those who cannot fulfil a fixture should be awarded a loss and it should be left at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have been careful the first time around with how they worded it, in case they needed to change something for "next time".. but they werent careful. They dont give a shit. They will do what they want without looking to precedents set already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clown organisation isn't fit for purpose and every club that voted against investigation should hang thier heads in shame. It makes the blood boil that null and void is now on the table. When all the doom merchants told us why it wasn't possible last season. An out if a certain club continues dropping points. Don't quote me on it but did they not try something similar at the start of the season which the clubs rejected? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

murzo 7,446 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The scottish government has announced 5 levels of lockdown , none of which should stop the league, yet these arseholes are asking questions about n+v, which wasn’t an option last year due to lost revenue. I wouldn’t give them the powers to shite cause it would be a dirty protest, let alone even ask the questions as they’ll only keep going till they’ve got the answers they were looking for, 10iar.

Goianegra 4,682 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Surprise surprise, this comes literally days after celtics "rude awakening" week. At least if they null and void the league they'll finally be able to get last year's Scottish Cup wrapped up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mate they only tried to get additional powers to be able to end the season as they seen fit without a club vote. The sheep/taig debacle showed they didn't have anything in place for breaches. I'm sure as well it was only recently the 3-0 forfeit came into play I doubt very much null and void was on the discussion table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkiebear 1,013 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Celtic starting to struggle , Rangers looking strong, suddenly we need to start considering null and void as an option after being told it was impossible last season 🤔 Hmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

British_Empire 9,648 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Astonished (but not really) that null-and-void is a consideration now, when it wasn't before (when awarding Celtic 9 in a row). This is where we have fuck-all backbone as a club. It should have been fought properly at the time and now we should be coming out all guns blazing to tell them they have already set the precedent. If the league is called tomorrow, we're champions - no if's or but's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what factors have changed that now allow voiding a season to be a credible option. What would be the consequences to clubs / authorities, and why the shift change.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 If null and void was a catastrophe for finances of clubs last season then surely it would be even worse given the losses made by clubs so far this season? We were told it COULDNT be an option now suddenly it is, what utter bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
