He is only interest is another few weeks to work with his team before they play another competitive game. He doesn’t give a fuck about infection rates. That's what I thought, it's ok for w.b.a. to want it, but you won't find liverpool pushing for it to happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the same issues that ruled null and void as not even worthy of discussion (primarily rebates to Sky, BBC, BT Sport etc) last season are still there so you would assume the same outcome, ie points per game. The scum fixture takes us close to 60% of our fixtures played. Don't think we have anything to worry about as a decision to handle this season differently would be transparent cheating on a whole other level. Essential that we keep our lead and extend it if possible. Average points per game is the precedence no matter how many games played / in hand.

Points per game- Rangers 75% of games played- Rangers. Null and void- I can’t imagine what will happen if they do that after giving out the title just 9 months ago. Makes it all the more important to keep winning up until any temporary suspension happens, if it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But N&V is then off the table. They can do whatever they want mate they just call a vote get all the diddy teams on side and wala... I think they know there would a severe backlash from us if they went down the null and void route, I think what they would more likely do is halt the season for three or four weeks to try and break our momentum and give the tarriers a chance to strengthen before the window shuts then sort themselves out for a big push at the title after the restart and hope we don’t regain the form we were in. Hopefully this is all just shite though and the season plays out uninterrupted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amato 3,016 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 No reason for anything to be cancelled, there are no fans at the games and the players are being tested constantly. They aren't contributing to the increase in cases in any way. Never cancelling the old firm on the basis "people will gather", that's a lot of pish imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Sam wants it stopped despite taking a job during it. Its the top story on sky sports news. They are blaming the new strain. The spfl and celtic will see and opportunity here. Sturgeon may even cancel the old firm as people will mix to watch it. If it stops I struggle to believe the season would be completed. We need to be at the front of this and Gerrard has to talk about it imo, celtic set the agenda in March. Give yourself a slap pal. Even the Coronavirus knows we are on 🔥 It's nervy stuff just now. We have the HUGE game against st mirren which will be tight, we will probably only win by the two goals imo. We conspire strongly as a team to get 55 as we have been lately then I am a very happy man. 2 nil Rangers. Both penalties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precedent was the authorities selecting an option for clubs to vote on (PPG), others being discarded due to clubs apparently not showing much interest (including N&V) and clubs then voting on the selected option. If more clubs sway towards N&V I do think that could be brought to the table should the league cease early again. Unless the scum win on Saturday then N&V is their best way of stopping us winning the league. Us getting it in our own hands and them needing favours is huge. I think a covid break is very possible, even probable, and its very naive of folk to not forsee N&V being a huge credible risk to us winning a title.

Griffin Peterson 348 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 In all honesty what difference is a two week lockdown going to make to the virus?

Siam69 26,876 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's being talked about in England, Clubs already being consulted, because quite a lot of players are testing positive, and the overall Covid situation in England is getting bad. It's for 2 weeks. There is absolutely no indication of anything remotely like the EPL being stopped early, anywhere. It won't happen, either in England, Scotland or anywhere else in Europe this season. Does anyone seriously think Scotland would decide to do it whilst nowhere else? It's also not the same as last season, where there was so many unknowns re the Virus, everywhere closed, nevermind no vaccines etc. Calm down ffs!

Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The English FA won’t be investigating the clubs that had to have their games postponed to force a 3-0 loss on that teams unlike our backward fenian administration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That presupposes that the club have a voting paper with more than one option on it. Doncaster removed the logical option before the clubs had their say. He hasn’t a leg to stand on if, with fundamentally the same problem again, he recommends/suggests/forces a solution so unthinkable last season, it wasn’t even offered as an option.
