Pet Jeden Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 1 minute ago, RandomGuy. said: Scotland is unique because the UK, which includes Scotland, is by far the worst affected country in Europe at the moment and about 2/3 weeks behind all the other countries on the continent. Our only comparisons are England, where two leagues have been called, and the other two earn so much money any comparison is moronic. Irish football runs a Summer season, and have voted to have a reduced season of 27 games but havent decided on when to restart their season yet. Northern Ireland havent resumed their season yet, nor decided on whether to end the season or resume it, or even what happens in August when the new season is due to start. You're wrong. The UK is pretty rubbish - and Scotland a bit rubbishier . But Spain (that doesn't count non-hospital deaths) and Belgium are far worse per head of population. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason the court overturned the LFP's decision to relegate Amiens and Toulouse is because they didn't give due consideration to league reconstruction. LFP relied on an agreement between LFP and FFF that prevents Ligue 1 from being expanded beyond 20 teams, but that agreement expires at the end of this month. This doesn't mean Amiens and Toulouse are spared. If there is a new decision to relegate them, and the process followed in reaching that decision takes all alternatives into account, they will be relegated. Is that what the last few weeks has been all about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Could Hearts fans planned boycott of games played behind closed doors be the most successful boycott in the long and illustrious history of scottish football boycotts? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Well we can see that this thread has run the course. We've got people arguing national anthems and death rates in Spain. League reconstruction, at least for the coming season, is dead and is unlikely to be raised again unless Heart of Seethelothian doesn't somehow manage to get promoted. I vote to get this punted off into the P&B Gold and those of us who support Premiership teams can get on with discussing Premiership matters while those of us who support teams who were relegated can go and stink out the Championship forums. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Spain arent comparable as their league is worth over one billion pounds, while Belgium have ended their season based on PPG and relegated the bottom side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutmeg, dummy, cracking finish from a tight angle, runs in front of the hearts fans to celebrate. Cracking stuff That was some reality check - 3-0 by half-time. We had become too used to swatting aside the likes of Hibs and Rangers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that there is no club that has accepted this without legal action. And if you're in Hearts' position, you look around the continent and see that as things stand, we are the only club who are being relegated based on a truncated season. The outcome in France is as yet unknown. Serbia and Holland declined to relegate clubs. Why would anyone expect Hearts to act differently to any other club? Why would anyone suppose that their club would have acted differently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Under the SPFL rules, not voting is the same as voting no. That was a big part of the original saga with the Dundee vote.I do wonder how many clubs actually voted no but as you say it doesn't really matter. I can't help feel that quite a few clubs that wanted to vote no probably didn't want to put their heads above the parapet (and potentially expose themselves to public mud-slinging) so just abstained. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Well this has been a great laugh. Thanks to the Hibs and St Mirren posters for their entertaining posts and trolling, it has been easy as the Jambos have been so enraged, over confident and have a terrible sense of entitlement. 'Off I pop' back to the Championship and will only return if this goes to court, but I have my doubts. See you all when we return the season after next as we keep the Maroon doon. #StHiDeealliance Thank you. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
