The SPFL recommendation?

Partick haven't won a league game in 2020 and failed to beat Queen of the South at home ten days prior to the suspension of the campaign. Their sense of injustice can be filed in the bin then: or we can just revive the old Polls' Panel to give their certain verdict of an Inverness home win for this super-crucial game in hand instead. The same verdict to Hearts' - given that they blew their chance to move off the bottom by losing to Saint Mirren just before the end of the campaign - and Stranraer who have barely won a game all season.

All three have got no grounds for complaint about being relegated: if they're actually any good then I'm sure they can romp back up in 20/21 regardless.

So next season we'll base relegation on who spends the most weeks at the bottom then and same with promotion. Wont matter whose top or bottom come may?

Yeah, I'd have thought that would have the better chance of getting passed personally. once you take out the clubs who will vote on obvious self interest (who will more or less cancel each other out anyway), I'd have though most would vote for the void option, rather than call as is.

This just shows the mentality of some fans. Void a season and remain in league 1, but when clubs are to vote on promoting and relegation its unfair because Inverness may catch Dundee United, East Fife may go up through playoffs. Get over it reward the teams who are top of the league and make a decision on relegation. Either relegate bottom club, or promote top 2 with no relegation.

No what matters this season is who is top and bottom when the season has had to be ended.

In your mind but that's hardly an unbiased opinion or are you trying to pretend like your chairman that it's all for the good of scottish football.

No, we'll base it on the number of points won by teams in an equivalent number of games: 36 would be the ideal number if all goes smoothly. In the event of an unprecedented, global pandemic, however, you can get the same outcome by applying a straightforward points average with the results you've already got. And look at what it shows us! Hearts, Partick and Stranraer were the worst teams in their respective divisions after all!

Hopefully we can then move on to some more difficult problems like identifying the Pope's religion and finding out if bears really use the woods as a public toilet.

Well being told to "get over it" has sure changed my mind.

Signing off with "end off" would really have added the killer touch.

Hows it unfair, every team has had the same chance to be top. Also void the league to pretend it never happened. Do clubs the have to pay back sponsorship money, season ticket money. No club would survive that.

Regardless of your views it seems daft not to have something in the constitution of the governing body stating definitively what should happen if the season has to end early. They need to remediate that.

Yip, fair chance they’ll need it next season.

Yep, they'll learn from their mistakes and make some different ones instead.

We've played you twice away for starters and yet we're only one point behind. Trying to say that's a level playing field is nonsense.

It will likely happen in future, but I don’t think we can complain about it not being in place before now.  It  had only happened once in 130 years and never in the lifetime of anyone in any significant position in the spfl.

Wonder what could have been if Falkirk didn't come to Starks Park and play for a draw.
