Football season 'could be declared "null and void"

[der Berliner 3,245]

Seems like the SNP wants all events above 500 spectators cancelled or postponed, starting on Monday. ?

 

Somewhere from beyond the Clyde, a brown dog barks that Celtic shall be declared Champions if league is cut short.

And what about the bottom end? Hearts and Hamilton declared relegated within a few points of those above and 8 games remaining?

Goes back to the ot then .

 

Surely null and void is genuinely the only way ahead.

I see no other way if 'sporting integrity' is applied on all not just Rangers. What about the Championship? Are DU declared winners and automatically promoted at the expense of Hearts?

And if so what about the runners up? They miss out because play offs can't go on? So then Hearts would be relegated but not Hamilton? Null and void is the only way out of this if sporting integrity means as much to them as it does when it's aimed at Rangers.

It’s simple. A season is 38 games. If you can’t play 38 games you can’t have a result.

It appears ever more likely football seasons may be cancelled all across Europe. The way I see it that means little to Rangers financially as the bulk of the domestic league gate money is in the form of season tickets, banked long ago.

Out of the Scottish cup so no revenue to be lost there. Already made around £18 million in Europe so did very nicely on that front. As for the rest yahoos aside I can see that it may indeed have dire financial consequences for them. But all I can feel on that is boo hoo.

We all know what the response was when Rangers had financial issues and it wasn't sympathetic. On the contrary it was hilarity and glee. Which has in fact continued even to the present where there are still constant wishes for a Rangers financial collapse. For that reason I can't find a shred of sympathy for them.

 

Who is skint now and who is laughing now.  

Season ticket cash paid by credit card is released proportionately by the credit card companies after each game, so it's still got an impact on us.

Listening to some of the doctors/scientists yesterday they dont expect this virus to peak until August that's usually when seasons start , so draw a line under this season and just declare it void .

How can this season resume in August? Players whose contracts finish at the end of this season will have left their clubs by then. Smaller clubs which have large turnovers of players might not be able to complete their fixtures due to not having sufficient players.

And would clubs new signings be able to play for their new clubs to finish the old season?

A farce awaits...
