The SFA’s statement last night clarifies the immediate future of the game, or lack thereof. No training will be permitted until at least the 10 June and the professional game can start 6 weeks after training. Without the lockdown being extended, the earliest behind closed doors football game can take place on 22 July.
It would be possible to complete the Premiership by 19 August. Today’s proposal by the SPFL keeps this option on the table.
The new league season would need to start immediately thereafter, games would almost certainly be played behind closed doors and Uefa would need to delay the start of Champions and Europa League qualification competitions until the last week in August. I think this is unlikely, but it remains possible.
I understand that Hearts, four points adrift at the bottom, are lashing out in every direction, but they would be better advised to try to win support for league reconstruction than go down the belligerent route. Maybe Ann Budge should have retained the bonus scheme and avoided all this stress.
Newco’s anger is a pale shadow of what we saw during the Traynor statement years. It’s all a bit limp for my palette. I like my Newco statements frothing with anger, typed while standing in fermenting urine-soaked shoes with flute music blaring in the background. Don’t judge me.
Today’s “legal advisor did not deem our Members Resolution as competent” is so weepy all I feel is pity.
This afternoon’s SPFL vote can change only details for Celtic. The real battle was to make this season Null and Void and our incompetent friends across the city were chased out of town for that suggestion. Celtic will be champions; nine-in-a-row is ours, whether achieved on the field or after Uefa issue advice to national associations.
It’s also interesting to watch the paranoia triggers. Our own sufferers’ gas will be at a peep for a while, whereas Newco’s conspiracy theorists were born for these times. Do not be like any of them, just because the tide goes against you, doesn’t mean The Man is out to get you! You’re just a little anxious.
I know this is a Terrible Good Friday, but be Good to each other today – and stay indoors all weekend.

Fek…my apologies…Oasis at Barras is now on council telly channel 92 (channel is Pick +1)
Gordon Strachan talking sense in an article in the Dundee Courier,
also has a veiled dig at the huns
BT…if yer a Virgin…who faithered yer weans…;-))
H.H.
Dundee statement clears nothing up. Have they voted or not?
SPFL statement only acknowledges votes received before 5pm…note 5pm
Some suggestions Dundee said they have voted but SPFL saying either not received or issue with technical quality of vote. Now apparently Dundee saying they will not resubmit their vote.
What the actual feck!
Virgin subscriber , you know me TLT
My spelling and grammar are never the best
It honestly looks to me like the SPFL have told someone to go and ‘think about it’. Mental.
David17,
i know its only the Record,
but they are saying Dundee have refused to vote so far.
But yer heart is BT…and that’s all that counts ;-))
BT-I met chic in the forge at Christmas ,was that 2 years ago already.Canny remember their mum just their dad.Him and Austin Kerrigan ran the mill Utd boys team .I got a chance because of his boy .But I was shite 😉

They seem to be calling for an ‘equitable’ split of money but to deny Dundee Utd promotion. Staggeringly petty.
It’s Micky bloody Flanagan
David17,
not sure how you are working that out,
i canny quite understand it though
FB
92 on my telly Pick+1
FB…if u have a cooncil digibox…it’s Pick…no idea what Sat channel it is, soz…ps…it’s brilliant lol ;-))
H.H.
DAVID 17- I hope all this pettiness is remembered down the line.
I think taking the prize money and splitting it between all 42 clubs was a good idea
Yep…92
FB…as much as I like D17’s suggestion/proposal…there are far to many vested interests involved just now for it to b accepted

Here’s what they said…
‘Amongst the member clubs there have been numerous discussions of the SPFL’s offer as well as viable, equitable proposed alternatives that could see potentially a neutral outcome for all clubs involved if the season cannot be finished. In all cases, current placement monies could be distributed to the member clubs in very short order while maintaining all SPFL obligations. Make no mistake; we would have to work quickly and diligently to ensure that members’ current needs are met and that the democratic process is followed, but it is achievable.’
THELURKENTIM-good to know 😉Smashing 😂
you can be sure what ‘neutral outcome for all clubs involved if the season cannot be finished’ means.
David 17,
sorry never saw that
THELURKINTIM-spelling eh😉
GB, apologise should have read it through, here’s the article, a dig at the huns, and holding out for reconstruction…

DAVID 17-it’s our league championship.🍀
Does the SPFL even have the money to dish out to the clubs, I would’ve thought the TV money and some sponsorship money will be withheld (or due to be paid back to companies i.e. Sky/BT).
Let’s-as you can see it doesn’t take much to bambozzle me 😉
FB…close enough lol…the Ken bit makes you east coast, ken lol :-))
