Sergeant Wilson Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 30 minutes ago, Gordon EF said: So much of this could have been avoided by agreeing to certain principles at the beginning of the season before clubs knew where they would be in the league at the time it came to making these decisions. These were hardly unforeseen circumstances. They should have but we don't know what information was presented to them. Maybe "the guys" assured them 27 games would be a skoosh and they'd have full houses for the New Year derbies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I'd be embarrassed if we celebrated winning this league. Indeed. Quietly shuffling off the park followed by an apology to the fans for being there in the first place/pledge to ensure the mistakes that put us there wont happen again shall be sufficient 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan57 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I see the wumin have got their shit together and agreed their restart while the SPFL minnows are still bickering their way to either the 27 or null and void. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56344621Pretty sure we could complete 27 games if we played into June. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Clyde having 14 games to play in 8 weeks. Then we have forever arguments over home advantage in the first split games. I can't see the championship being happy with a 2 week extension also. The easiest option is half season that allows room for postponed games, imagine Clyde having a game postponed due to covid again, same applies to other clubs with testing coming in, we will find positive cases somewhere, then it lies who was in contact regarding isolation. The season is already a farce, why attempt to increase the size of the farce ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life on Marrs? Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 No need to worry, after your last league game the general consensus amongst the Falkirk faithful was that there's no way you'd win the league with those 2 in charge! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of European football leagues were completed over the summer last year after the initial shutdown, including the top two leagues in England. This is clearly an issue that can be worked around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It's a bit mad that clubs didn't all just agree to an 18 game season, get it over and done with, get your prize money, and just move on from a shitfest of a season. I don't see how hanging about squabbling amongst yourselves/this pathetic play off system, is helping anyone really. Absolute certainty a club isn't able to compete all its fixtures in time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Not mad if your at the bottom or just outside the playoffs at the moment though. Clubs and supporters won’t look beyond the colour of their own club scarf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'd go for 18 games and get this season over and done with. I look forward to being at least one game next season far more than watching another raft of streamed games in the rump of 20/21. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) I'm still not 100% clear what the 22 game proposals involve. I get playing to 18 then split into 2x5. Does the next 4 games replace the play offs, or does 2-4 then play off with club 9 in the division above? Eta, I think I worked it out. These (games 19-22) would be play offs to get in to the play offs. Edited March 11, 2021 by Sergeant Wilson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the clubs are quite rightly holding Doncaster and co feet to the , they have constantly hidden behind Scot gov and showed a general apathy to lower league football throughout this and probably next season to, The clubs have made t here decision and expect it to be threatened as usual , The silence is deafening...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those League 1 and 2 sides are really holding his feet to the fire by proposing a schedule which involves all of those clubs running their players into the ground. I'm sure Doncaster is struggling to sleep at night with worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
