Rangers are playing to their bigoted fans, nothing more, nothing less.

If the reported figures are right, you need 4 top flight, 3 Championship, and 6 bottom two tier sides to vote against it.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.

75% of Premiership need to vote for it to pass - 9, so 4 need to vote against it to fail
75% of Championship need to vote for it to pass - 7.5, so 3 need to vote against it to fail
75% of League One/Two need to vote for it to pass - 15, so 6 need to vote against it to fail
What have I got wrong?
If you read your first post again, you may see your error.

Quite simply not true.

Just get the remaining games played out in Championship Manager with the actual managers deciding the tactics and line-ups.
Would be worth it to see Dick Campbell struggling to operate a mouse.
I want to see Peter Grant looking at the monitor and wondering why it isn't heating up his pie, he cant even open it. What kind of shite microwave is this b*****ding thing.
Edit, just realised youre an Alloa fan, it wasn't deliberate, I just really dislike Peter Grant, aka the thick twats John Hughes.

Are you really willing to die on the hill that says the SPFL have changed the way they vote on things for this vote?
Jeezo.
They'd need a vote on that first though.
I can see it now...
Right guys, we will be having a vote on ABC, but I know it wont pass, so I intend on changing the vote rules so that we can get ABC to pass. Can everyone vote now.
In other news, Turkeys vote for Christmas.

They havent announced anything about how the vote works either way.
So any normal person would think voting needs to reflect the rules stated within?
Youre fucking mental.

Ive just seen screenshots of Rangers fans complaining that this is just a ***** ****** conspiracy to gift Celtic the title. As much as I think passing this would be wrong, Id vote for it now just to annoy these 72 IQ pointed morons.

Looking at League 1, Falkirk, Airdrie, Montrose and East Fife are within 8 points of Raith, so you'd doubt they would vote for it.
The whole things a mess, I cant see this passing.

If the top flight can continue to hope to finish, then I see no reason for the rest of the leagues to be called early. Its ridiculous IMO.
If we do go down the road or just deciding it on points per game, and I don't really have an issue with this, then Hearts (or whoever else it may have been) must be relegated the same as Patrick and Stranraer.
In the Championship, Id be surprised if it passed.

Here is how to resolve this.
No Winners No losers. No Champions. No Relegations No Trophies.
Premiership 2020/21 Increase to 13 teams, with Dundee United joining PL. Play 24, Split 6/7, Play 10/12. 13th and 12th relegated, 11th Playoffs Season, 2021/22 12 Teams.
Championship 2020/21 Increase to 14 teams with Raith Falkirk Airdrie Montrose East Fife joining Championship. Play 26, Split 7/7, Play 12. 1st Promoted 2nd 3rd Playoffs. 14th and 13th relegated, 12th Playoffs. Season 2021/22 14 Teams
Div1/Div2 Increase to 18 teams with Brora Kelty Bonnyrigg joining the extended Div 1. Play 34 no split. 1st Promoted, 2nd 3rd Playoffs. 17th 18th relegated, 16th Playoffs. Season 2021/22 18 Teams.
No League Cup or Tunnocks Cup 2020/21.
Free weeks here and there, not a problem.
Thats utterly mental.

For this to pass, there needs to be 75% of clubs in each division in favour of the proposal.
- Nine clubs from the Premiership,
- Eight clubs from the Championship
- League One and Two grouped together, so 15 clubs from 20
This is from a journalist on twitter....

Sampdoria strip was the best IMO, loved that as a bairn.

I don’t want Utd in admin, or any other club for that matter, well excluding Rangers 2.0 obviously.
I genuinely believe Utd should be promoted if the season is cut short, others disagree with that, that’s perfectly fine. However, if the SPFL decide that this season never happened, or whatever daft decision they came to, meant Utd didn’t go up, I’d disagree, then laugh a good bit.
I was originally hopeful that the season could be completed, but that’s probably very unlikely. I’ve no idea what those in charge will do, whatever option they take, people will be pissed off.

These 6 teams apparently have the required insurance, however Ive also read that Aberdeen have a version of it as well.

Celtic will be recognised as Scottish champions, Aberdeen will be awarded the country’s spare Europa League place, there will be no expansion of the SPFL Premiership, but the winter break would be axed, for next season at least, according to soundings taken by Telegraph Sport.
The SPFL has yet to resolve the many issues created by the truncation of its league schedules because of the Covid-19 lockdown and, as always, there are contending points of view amongst clubs, but a desperate need for income is now driving the agenda for many.
Hearts have already flagged a 50% wage reduction for staff and players, while Dundee United have placed almost all staff and players on furlough. This week, Celtic too placed some staff on furlough and promised to top up salaries after administration of the Government’s contribution of 80% of monthly income up to a limit of £2500.
Even had the campaign been proceeding normally, this would be the stage where cash flow is thinnest but, given the state of uncertainty about how and when next season will begin, most clubs badly need the money which is allotted according to final placings in the league tables. Nor can they afford to have their prospect of season ticket sales hindered by debates about league reconstruction.
Revenue from final placings would normally be distributed in May but that cannot be done for as long as the 2019-20 season is kept in abeyance, so there is a strong motive for those unaffected by title races and relegation struggles to move for the league campaign to be declared to be finished. That view has been reinforced by the decision of the Belgian Pro League to stop their competition now, with Club Brugge recognised as champions by virtue of their 15-point lead over KAA Gent, although Uefa still want national leagues to attempt to play to a finish – behind closed doors, if necessary – in July or even August.
The closed doors option has been ruled out unofficially in Scotland because, even in the event of lockdown being eased, it would require the co-operation of emergency services who are likely still to be overstretched or exhausted. There are differences between the views of the UK and Scottish governments about how long the lockdown is likely to be in place, with the Holyrood administration less inclined to contemplate a shortened quarantine.
As far as possible, clubs want to get on with selling season tickets for a set-up as close to the norm as possible, which is a barrier to those proposing league of three divisions with 14 in each. Another difficulty presented by any proposal for a truncated campaign is that those who paid for 2019-20 season tickets will not have had full value for their outlay.
One solution is to expand the scope of next season’s offers to include Scottish Cup and League Cup ties, or to issue vouchers for holders to bring along a guest for free for the equivalent of the missed games. That outcome would be beneficial for clubs with spare capacity at their grounds and would generate greater catering and merchandising revenues, but would be difficult for the likes of Celtic and Rangers, the bulk of whose spectators are season ticket holders, although they could be offered free or discounted tickets for European matches.
This season’s Scottish Cup semi-finals and semi-finals have been postponed indefinitely but could be played before December to yield a 2020 winner. The two Hampden semis– Hearts vs Hibs and Celtic vs Aberdeen – are money-spinning occasions which the contending clubs want to be played. Traditionally, the competition provides a European place for the winner or beaten finalist but, if the tournament is deferred, an entry to the Europa League would become available to the next available SPFL club – in this case Aberdeen, who are fourth in the table.
Scottish Premiership
Team P W D L GD Pts 1 Celtic 30 26 2 2 70 80 2 Rangers 29 21 4 4 45 67 3 Motherwell 30 14 4 12 3 46 4 Aberdeen 30 12 9 9 4 45 5 Livingston 30 10 9 11 2 39 6 Hibernian 30 9 10 11 -7 37 7 St. Johnstone 29 8 12 9 -18 36 8 Kilmarnock 30 9 6 15 -10 33 9 St. Mirren 30 7 8 15 -17 29 10 Ross County 30 7 8 15 -31 29 11 Hamilton Academical 30 6 9 15 -20 27 12 Heart of Midlothian 30 4 11 15 -21 23 The fact that three of the four semi-finalists are SPFL clubs plus the likelihood that Hearts, even if relegated, would not be involved before the fourth round of the 2020-21 Scottish Cup - to be played next January - clears the way for a deferred finale to this season’s tournament to be played before the end of the year.
The extra fixtures would, however, add to congestion which will be created if next season starts later than the first week in August, meaning that the winter break would almost certainly have to be cancelled. Much to-and-fro will occur over the next few weeks but, barring a near-miraculous early end to the Covid-19 shutdown, the chance of a fulfilled SPFL schedule is remote.
The possibility of a wartime-style season – in which the title would have unofficial status – is adamantly opposed by most clubs sounded by Telegraph Sport. “There were no TV deals and large-scale commercial contracts during the war,” said one source. “It’s just not going to happen.”

Favourite ever player?
I loved Anderson, McCann, Vrto and Adamczuk as a bairn, but have to give it to Nemsadze, a player whose legs didnt make sense.
Cant believe I forgot about Weighorst & Rae.
It might well be sentimental, preferential memory or just me mixing up times, but the teams and players we had in Division 1 were often better than Premier teams we had, the players mentioned above, the Grady & Annand, Shaw & Britton partnerships, McSkimming, Pageau, two Duffys, etc etc
Also, I far prefer Division 1 to this Championship name pish.

Why are you a Dee?
Family are all Dees, couldn't be anything else.
First game?
I cant remember to be quite honest. There were games before this, but the first game I can absolutely remember was the 1995 Cup game, Dundee 4 Hearts 4, not a bad game to be fair.
Where do you sit?
Season ticket for a decade in The Derry before giving it up. Now sit in The Main Stand when I do make it to Dens.
Longest you've travelled to watch the Dee?
Crystal Palace for Speronis testimonial. Remember getting a lock in at what could only be described as a complete dump, a local hardmans pub, but it was a great, albeit slightly scary night.
Ever missed work/event to watch the Dee?
No.
Favourite ever player?
I loved Anderson, McCann, Vrto and Adamczuk as a bairn, but have to give it to Nemsadze, a player whose legs didnt make sense.
Most enjoyable game?
Probably have to say Motherwell 0 Dundee 2, Bonettis first game in charge, and we played outstanding fitba that day. Under different circumstances, I could have picked Rangers 0 Dundee 2 when Caniggia and Rae scored, however, due to a ticket balls up, I ended up in the home end and couldn't celebrate our goals, horrible place, horrible fans, horrible hygiene amongst that lot.
Best goal seen live?
Probably Caballeros second thunderbolt against Rangers when they were awarded 65 penalties at Dens in a 2-2 draw. McCann semi final goal/cross, Caniggia at Pittodrie, Grady and Nemsadze at Tannadice with honourable mentions.
Favourite away stadium?
Tynecastle, very compact, steep and right on the pitch.
Worst away Stadium?
Not a dump, but for being an utterly soulless pointless existence, it has to be Livingstons.
Worst player?
Jesus, I could bring down the internet if I got started here. However, I will nominate Craig Burley, yes he is easily in the top 10% of players to play for us in my lifetime, if measured by overall quality, but his attitude, performance, work ethic, everything was appalling while he was at Dens.

Just sent an email out to the SPFL questioning the integrity of the competitions if there was to be promotions or relegations in the case of this bat-crunching episode lasting longer than expected
Wow, that’s utterly pathetic Old Firm level mental behaviour. In theory, we might all be Dees here, with obvious interlopers, but there’s no doubt who has won the league, and should go up.
