The Belgian league put the cat amongst the waffles yesterday by declaring the Jupiler League over and Bruges champions. They sorted out their TV and other commercial arrangements and can start next season as soon as it is safe to do so.
There are very few calls to cut seasons short. Tight leagues, such as in Italy and Spain, would forever have questions hanging over them, while those assured of winning the title, as in Scotland and England, want to do so on the field, not at a league meeting. Still, it was nice to see panic among the Null and Voiders, who would rather everyone lost than anyone (Celtic) won.
The Belgians have been pragmatic but premature, football is finished for the season, their champions are assured without controversy and they will accommodate those threatened with relegation. The rest of Europe still clings to the hope that competition can start behind closed doors in the summer. It will next month before we know if this is possible, there is no reason to make decisions before then.

as an aside, I detect another narrative being pushed by the blue meanies ex players and hingers on.
You cant award a title without all the games being played (delay the 9)
Null and Void the season (delay the 9)
If games go ahead at some point then you can start the next season (delay the 10)
If the league goes ahead, and played, then you might not want to play the scottish cup (stop the 4th treble).
If the league and cup do finish this season, then maybe not have a league cup next season (stop the 5th treble).
If league is awarded to celtic, but other clubs go into administrations they cannot have a points deduction as its not their fault (wft that one).
Condolences on your loss PCS, I’ve always been led tae believe the longer our parents last the harder it becomes although its never easy at any time.
Incidentally the name Hamill is common in Dumbarton in fact a former Chief of Police for Strathclyde was born and bred there.

Check out the FCM hauf back line in that game WTF.
Also I have been led tae believe it was this loss that cost oul Sean his job at Parkheid, he was let go at the end of that season.
Wonder if they’ll null and void the school year – I’m sure the pupils will understand and won’t mind going back a year when school start back.
The President of Public Health Ontario is just on the now tae tell us how tae combat this.
He’s red heided and talks like most of us, just a wee bit politer

Good point. Any other possible `null and void` scenarios ?
`No gold watch for you, old man. What would have been your 25th year was null and void.`.
I want celtic to play the rest of the season and pick up the title, if not possible I want celtic to win the title based on league standings as is.
Clubs in the smaller leagues are screwed if they are forced to wait until July to play out games. Lack of season book income, television/ prize money and playing behind closed doors will lead to clubs freeing all out of contract players in june and at best some admin events, at worst some liquidation events.
That’s before you get into the potential health implications of pushing ahead with football during a public health crisis.
UEFA cant treat the smaller nations like the larger nations because the needs and circumstances are so different. There needs to be some scope for regional variation with an overriding goal of protecting the game for all not just the rich.

Dont know how we can get a renewal date when we dont
know what the situation will be next season.
My view is that whenever football can take place this season
should be played to a finish,decide what is to happen with next season
when we know when this one will end.
Celtic have moved ST renewals to end of May
