Archie McSquackle Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Is there someway to calculate the amount of *** seethe when we get handed the title?Will it be worse than the Hibs, Hampden goading?Or the Celtic seethe when the season is declared null and void?There is no easy answer to this but we need to avoid it going to the lawyers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Suggestion end season now Award Celtic the title given they are so far ahead No relegation with top two in Championship promoted Next season split league after 26 games playing each other home and away After split two groups of 7 play each other home and away Total 0f 38 games Keep this structure going forward with two relegated Edited March 14, 2020 by Danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ideas though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the Championships go here and down south I dont think anyone would argue with Celtic and Liverpool getting the titles.. other than the seethe factor we'd miss out on from the self proclaimed best fans in the world north and south of the border. I'd say the likes of Hearts, Dundee United, Leeds, West Brom, Villa etc have already been on the blower to Lawyers.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celtic and Liverpool scenarios are totally different, no matter what Lennon says. Liverpool are 25 points ahead of the only team that can overtake them, Manchester City. If Manchester City were to win their one game in hand, and also beat Liverpool in the one match left to play against each other, Liverpool will still be 19 points ahead with 8 matches left. Celtic are 13 points ahead of Rangers. If Rangers were to win their one game in hand and also win both remaining matches against Celtic, the gap would only be 4 points with 6 other games to play. Even allowing for Celtic's vastly superior goal difference, a 5 point gap to make up in 6 games is hardly out of the question. Lennon trying to make out that Celtic are as uncatchable as Liverpool is fantasy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(even though they have effectively done that on the pitch!) There will be a legal challenge. I am guessing part of that challenge would be Rangers claiming for loss of potential Champions League earnings of up to £30m. (even though we probably won't get past the qualifiers) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think their fans even believe they can, certainly not the ones on here. You're probably right though, once it's still possible it can be done, which Man City could also say however unlikely it is. I doubt Man City would contest it out of sheer embarrassment. Sevco on the other hand.. Seethe from one side of Glasgow is a certainty.. win win... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that anyone thinks that Rangers will win the league, but I was pointing out that it is not beyond the realms of possibility that it could happen. It would mean Rangers winning 6 out of 6 and Celtic losing 2 out of 6. In the Liverpool situation it means Manchester City winning 8 out of 8 and Liverpool losing 6 out of 8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way anyone is putting a legal challenge in. They can't afford it, and there's a very good chance it'd be a loser as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Waldo Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Depending on how long, to me, it looks like - finish the leagues now. Play the play offs and Scottish Cup when possible. If not possible, promote top two for a big league, extra games, more dough. No relegation. 3 down next year from Premiership and Division 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
