We all know what is being referred to. Seems any time someone does it these days there are people ready to jump up and down. Why? Nobody flips it when someone refers to the English top flight as the Premiership. It just makes anyone using it look like a massive simpleton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 5 minutes ago, Jacksgranda said: It's the same as talking about Kelty and Brora being promoted to the "senior" leagues, it casts doubt on the veracity of anything else posted. Nah. In no way comparable. Using SPL instead of the current shitey name doesn't do anyone a disservice of status. It just doesn't matter. Referring to a senior team as non-senior shows a lack of understanding of the structure. Calling the SPFL Premiership the SPL isn't the same thing. People still say European Cup sometimes.

I'd argue the person pretending to be confused by something that isn't confusing was the massive simpleton. Are you confused by the use of the term 'SPL' in reference to the top flight of Scottish football's league system? What about if someone referred to the UEFA Champions League as the European Cup? Would this send you into a frenzy of rage and confusion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) *Reads thread title* Wonder if theyll use the current SPFL Premiership teams to "play out" games or if theyll revert back to the final SPL table. Suppose that second option would allow Hearts and Dundee United to play top flight football. Edited April 25, 2020 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not confused at all, but I’m far less likely to take anyone’s post seriously if they don’t even know the actual name of the league they’re talking about.

Junior Pub League Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Who cares how many people die so long as Hearts get relegated, that is the point the OP is suggesting? Football and indeed all sport, even behind closed doors, wont work for the foreseeable future (until there is a vaccine) only message board simpleton trolls and governing bodies ruled by money have somehow failed to spot this. Playing behind closed doors to finish the season can only work if you quarantine EVERYONE involved (from players to cleaners) at a secure remote location for a period from 2 weeks before the first game until 2 weeks after the last game - MLB have been making noises about quarantining everyone for almost 5 months - and even then you are reliant on 100% compliance of the quarantine and as we've seen with players training with each other in the park and shagging tarts whilst wearing gold condoms, football players are generally as thick as two short planks. I'll wager good money on a Hearts player being the first to neck a bottle of Dettol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
