Larkhall2 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Apologies if it's been discussed (and/or answered) elsewhere, but if this season is deemed a write off as some are suggesting.... would this mean that European entrants for this season would form the basis of the competitions of next year? e.g. who qualifies for European competition if it doesn't count? and would this be a potential re-entry to Europe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAG Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 If this season is 'voided', we should be back in Europe. If they're not gonna dish out the league trophy, how can they dish out relegation or promotion places? A better solution for the SPFL would be a gentlemen's agreement to play till the split behind closed doors and end the league having played everyone 3 times. Don't see Sevco or the Jambos shaking hands on that though! Every other solution is IMO more unfair, or risks having exactly the same problem with season 20/21. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Need to finish the current european competitions first. Everyone could always just pause everything for a year, and pick up where we left off next March. Seeing as that's what Euro 2020 & the Olympics have done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guff92 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 This season can’t and won’t be voided. Next season won’t start until this one is completed. However long it takes. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking increasingly like it would take a significant chunk of next season to finish this one - if that meant no Champions League/Europa games next season the money powers that be will be kicking up a stink... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as that's what Euro 2020 & the Olympics have done. IMO people talking about resuming the current season are just fantasizing. The choices are to avoid it completely or award the gongs based on current standings. The above is based on the following observations. The current government plan is to keep the current restrictions in place for 3 months to flatten the peak. So at the start of July restrictions should start to ease. However I cant see those eased restrictions allowing contact sports let alone large gatherings to watch. Restrictions will be eased gradually and could well be reimposed if there is a 2nd wave. What I am saying is that it may not be possible to start competitive games until September or later and by then a number of clubs big and small may have ceased to exist.

This season for all sports underway and unable to continue should be void. You cant award titles.when you haven't completed it, you cant promote or relegate teams as they haven't had the opportunity to finish the games and seal their fate beyond any doubt. Harsh on some, funny as f**k tho some of those may be to some. But its reality. When we get back to some semblance of normality whomever exists will realistically need to start from scratch. This is the chance for the SPFL, SFA and all.other sporting bodies to fix what's wrong with their structures, they wont but the could. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Whatever is finally decided think a regular football season will not be seen till 21/22 in terms of European competitions anyhow ........the logistics of each country sorting out It’s own domestic season will take precedence and all the legal problems that may ensue .........they might just try for a expanded champions league contest only to appease the TV companies Doesn’t the usual qualification rounds for the European competitions start from late June early July,?......No chance of that this year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can. Play-off would obviously be scrapped. In the top flight it only realy impacts on Hearts. There is not a football fan anywhere in the country that thinks *anger* have any realistic chance of winning the title. Championship is the same, Dundee Utd are out of sight. More complicated at the bottom with Partick having played a game less but average ponts added to them would still see them relegated in favour of QotS. League one - decent struggle at the top so Falkirk would be agrieved at missing out as only a point behind, Stranraer look already doomed. League two - Cove Rangers won't be caught and Brechin would get a reprieve with no play-offs. So ending the season now would really only impact on Hearts, Partick and Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
