    For what it’s worth I don’t think the situation will be any better by April/May so I can see the rest of the games never being played and chaos ensuing.

    Shame for the Pikeys though if they have to stay down another season ��������
    Euro 2020 to be played in summer 2021 appears to be the plan, with domestic seasons being played thru this summer.

    Then, straight into season 20/21. Bin next season's league cup if needs be, if Europa League pre qualifiers can't be played in the summer, as we won't know who has qualified for them.

    Mayhem. And that's only the fitba.

    As Don said above, use this as a reason for playing summer fitba full time, not just this year. 'mon the SFA, show some foresight and play a foreshortened season next season, end it next March, then straight into season 2021, ending in Nov, with a mid summer break IF we qualify for Euro 2021.

    Mean players are playing straight thru from June 2020 (or whenever this pandemic ends) till Nov 2021 but so be it. Its what we have squaaaads for.

    Playing through summer seems sensible but for one issue.
    Medical experts seem to think it’ll be at its worst in UK in 3 months time.

    The more they do this sort of thing, the more they’ll delay it.
    They are aiming for the summer, then we’ll find out it’s just a bad cold anyway.

    If they close the schools ( and they will) I would expect them to be closed until after the summer holidays.

    Which means that I’m stuck working 6 days a week until September.

    If what they are saying is correct it will be at its worst in 12 weeks time with the virus to take another 12 weeks to disappear after that.

    At that rate we will be lucky to start the new season in August nevermind finish this season.
