Big day today, season defining.

Wonder when the SPFL announce they have brought a round of midweek games forward to the 30 January seeing we all have a free weekend now and there is already a fixture pile up. They are going to do that aren't they ?

Get prepared for a meltdown of mammoth proportions. 🙄

Would make sense to do this and get the successful appeal decision out ASAP... As such the SFA will probably take six weeks, still uphold the decision, let Celtic away with their breach, force us to go through arbitration due to clear unfair treatment, win the case at that point and we'll still have matches to play into October. 🤣

Saints Points Matter 

But would everyone could take the kneel for the cause ?  with clenched fist and 3 fingers

No announcement until next week now according to the BBC. Appeal deliberation doesn't start until tonight. Farcical !!!

Worst affected in what terms? Financially because they are paying players £££ daft money, spunked £2-3m on a champions league pyro display a couple of seasons ago, spending reportedly 250k on a trip to Dubai, the list goes on. They thought they were going to walk the league this season now they are crying wolf.

And they have furloughed their u18s. The gift that keeps on giving.

Gov should tell them to do 1.

If they can find around 250,000K for a jolly, they can find the money to pay their own players.

I did not realise that the rules governing the testing only required tests to be performed 168 hours before a match.

168 hours is a long time in COVID land. Just your seven days! Jeez. Livingston have a machine that can produce results in 2 hours. With the physical interaction of football it’s little wonder that our players have contracted the virus and passed it on to each other either in training or competition never mind the risk that we all face. 

Surely the league requires tighter testing schedules than this?

That's the lower league teams who aren't usually compelled to test at all.

Read the paragraphs before about Premiership testing for league games. Sorry someone else put that highlight on.

OK.  I thought clubs had to test twice a week now.

All a bit of a tease from the SPFL.

Quote

Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell has written to all 10 Championship clubs asking if they want to continue playing or suspend their league.

Maxwell has asked for replies no later than close of business on Monday.

In an email sent on Friday evening, he mentions that one Championship club has already publicly called for a suspension of all football.

Maxwell did not name the club in question and there is confusion over who he is referring to.

I wonder if that's all football or just the Championship - if it's the latter I guess it's likely to be one of the p/t clubs.

Won’t affect the top league in my opinion. Too much money involved in broadcasting and advertising revenue.

Yeah I've been checking elsewhere it's just the Championship but it was vaguely worded.

Hearts surely. 

Cast iron case for being awarded the Championship title and promotion to the Premiership. 

How could the SPFL do anything else if the season ends tonight.

Just out of asking, is it just alloa and arbroath that are p/t in championship?

Having looked at table, it wouldn't surprise me. A bit off the pace, albeit 2 games in hand.

[Yflab 4,536]

They surely can’t promote after 10 or 11 games. Null and void. Keep the Jambo seethe going!

Null and void would bring about a bigger reaction than Trumps mutant supporters at Washington. Can just see the Sons of William rushing the City Chambers after their dreams crumble. 

Make it happen.
