It's only an opinion and I maybe in the minority but I believe the season should continue but games played behind closed doors.

It's a virus and it can be caught anywhere. These player's are training together everyday and everyone is aware of the symptoms.

The reason for banning events with more than 500, from my reasoning is to alleviate undue pressure on the health and other public services. Which is completely understandable.

Anyway as stated it's only a personal opinion.

I’m in agreement wee mope ad rather they were played behind closed doors so it was won properly. Stick the cup game it’s league I want won.

I think they should finish the season, whenever that may be. The rules on it state that the SPFL board can decide when the season ends with the team on top at the end being champions.

Can't see Stewart Robertson signing up to that when Rangers have season tickets to sell.

I've always been a fan of summer football, some good might come out of this in a football sense, if Scottish football finished 2019/ 20 this year and kicked off a new season in February.

At this stage though all we know is there will be a gap for a few weeks, no need for any dramatic changes at this stage.

Where are these rules because I looked and there was nothing in the rule book that I could see stating what you have stated🤔.

15 Mar 2020 21:54:46
There is no reason whatsoever the games can't be played behind closed doors. I'm going to work tomorrow like millions others so why can't the players go to theirs?

Clause’s 14

‘The Clubs for the time being entitled in terms of these Rules to participate in the Premiership shall, disregarding any abandoned or postponed matches, play in 38 League Matches in any one Season. ’.

Exactly Malky, I haven't seen any evidence that this virus is anything more than a strain of the flu. There is something going on in the world, it's almost like an experiment to see how the world reacts to an epidemic. I'm off to the conspiracy page to do ma posting till the fitbaw starts again 😂.

Stevie, for me...

The rest moved to the conspiracy site

Nae bother Ed 👍😂. I'll plug the idea that it's all a plan to derail 10 in a row over there too.

Tuesday could be a St. Patricks day Sevco fans will want to forget but might not get the chance. Not only could Celtic be confirmed 9 In A Row Champions but also their old clubs boast of winning the most titles in the world will be gone FOREVER. (unless Rangers come out of liquidation)
Linfield could win their 54th title this week which would make them the only club in the world to win 54 titles on there own.
Dumbarton shared a title with Rangers Football Club.
Worlds most successful club is SLIPPING away. Sevco we welcome the chase. (51 titles behind)

Yes I am back on here after my "triumphant" Cheltenham stint on the racing page, I am extremely proud of the fact we made a profit last 3 years, although it was more difficult this year until very last race on final day of the festival.
If anyone wants their lotto numbers please just ask lol.

Well done Tim. I only bet on three horses and they came nowhere. That was my first and possibly last bets on the horses.

15 Mar 2020 15:55:46
I'm not a gambler in general apart from the very odd £3 accumulator on 5 teams, which I do about twice a season. My experience of betting on horses is even less. As a child I would have a 50p bet on the Grand National courtesy of my dad and that was it.
However, back in 1989 I was living in London. I got the bus to work every morning and I always bought a newspaper for the journey. Doing what most blokes do, I read it from back to front. Football was more important than the front page to me! After reading the back page I flicked it open and accidentally missed a couple of pages and went to the horse racing section. For some reason a horse caught my eye, it was called Henry Mann. I saw that the jockey was a guy called A Mulholland and realised that this was the same guy I had gone to primary school with many years before. I knew he had gone off to be a jockey in England when we were about 15 or 16 but had never kept in contact with him or followed up to see how he was doing. Anyway, I told a guy I worked with about this coincidence. He was a punter but said the horse had no chance however it might be worth a token punt because of the coincidence. We put a fiver each on it, he went to the bookies at lunchtime to do it. Later that afternoon he phoned the bookies to find out the result of the race. The bookie told him the winner was Henry Mann. The price? 33-1. What a day we had. It never tempted me to keep betting though lol HH.

15 Mar 2020 16:04:56
I told a lie, his price was 25-1. Out of curiosity I just went and checked him out lol HH.

Henry Mann won at Cheltenham the following year at 20/ 1 and your friend was the jockey also.

16 Mar 2020 11:28:38
Yes BB, I saw that. His race name was usually A J Mulholland but we knew him as Tony, the A was for Anthony. HH.
