We received clarity from Uefa on some important issues yesterday and not on others. Access to the Champions and Europa Leagues next season will be granted only on sporting merit. This finally nailed hopes of the Null and Void Loyal. If a league was declared void, its standings and results would not hold, so no sporting merit could be determined.
If Newco want access to the Europa League qualifiers, they need the SPFL to award a winner and second place, despite their protests. Our old pal Cognitive Dissonance must keep them awake at night.
It is clear from the Uefa statement they have listened and tried to accommodate several scenarios. Where titles are close, like Italy, where Lazio narrowed the gap on Juventus to a point, Uefa suggest a play-off system could allow chasing teams to make up the difference. AZ Alkmaar trail Ajax on goal difference but the Dutch league is expected to call a halt to the campaign as early as today. There are no truly satisfactory closures this season, least of all for Celtic, who will be denied a title winning game.
What we didn’t get was a hard deadline on when teams have to be nominated for European competitions. After discussions with Uefa, the Italian league extended this season’s Serie A to 2 August, so we know for sure the European draws cannot take place until after that date.
I expect we will see European leagues synchronise their moves; there will be no incentive for any radical undertakings. Those without rabid losers will be first to call time, the SPFL will move with the herd, as it should. Then those who called for independent investigations into why the SPFL acted the same way as the rest of Europe will look like the angry losers they are.

Thanks Marc, well done Corky.
Who would win in a fight between Stefan Johnanssen’s quiff and Stuart Armstrong’s quiff?
Thanks Crc
Another fine collection of questions.
Well Done Corkie- a nice thing to happen on your Birthday :-)
Thanks CRC & Thanks to SFTB for letting me win,
Reality is you could have won it in 2 rounds if you wanted to.
I’ll take it as it will be the only one I’ll ever win,
A big thanks to CRC for the time and effort he puts into organising this quiz . HH
Congratulations Corkcelt,
good quiz as ever
I demand an independent inquiry
Only logged on had stab but forever known as jc2 nil points
I do have some Norwegian blood so maybe fair enough :-)
Sorry for missing the quiz – I did apologise on here just before it started! For the first 4 rounds I’d have scored 10. But as I have a history at being the ole fastest finger I might have secured double points in 3 of the rounds so that takes me to 17. Got the Hoops Am I at clue number 4 so finished on 19. Well done Corkie!
Many thanks for your time and effort Marc. I can assure you it is greatly appreciated.
Congrats Corkcelt on a fine win , especially when the questions were sooooooooo difficult.
Thanks to Glasgowbhoy for going to his kip when he did, even then he nearly beat me.
SFTB, definitely setting the standards.
Cheers and HH to all.🌈
Jobo. That would have won,
CRC
Thanks again for your efforts.
Well done CorkCelt!
