M-m-m-my Corona…

Despite it being funny to see the response from sevco and hertz being relegated I do agree with you on finishing the season. I'm not in favour of reconstruction just for the hell of it but if we assume there won't be any football this side of August/September I can't see why we couldn't just do something like the following

1. finish off the season when we are able to play

2. have a 10 day break to play the cup semis and final during which time we issue the fixtures for the new season once we know promotion and relegation (scrap play offs for ever and ever because they're ridiculous)

3. play a shortened version of the Premier League by getting rid of the stupid split and having the teams play each other 3 times only.

4. leave the lower leagues with the normal 36 games but just play a few more midweek games in "European weeks" to get through the games

5. for one season only don't play the League Cup, have no mid-season break and scrap Scottish Cup replays forever.

Fixed it

3. play a shortened version in the Premiership by having the split after 22 games and then play each other twice after the split for a total of 32 games

That's the issue.
Doncaster et al are cr@pping themselves that Sky welch on the new deal for next season if we fu ck about with the structure.
TBH as long as they get their four bigot-fests they'll possibly be happy, but if they can try to knock a few quid off there's every chance they will.

I agree with you, I think this whole thing stems from the Tim's and sevco games. Sky will be expecting 4 and a particular schedule.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again

F’UCK SKY

We need to finish the season. Ridiculous decision if we just finish as we are.

The SFA, SPFL and the rest in general are an absolute embarrassing shambles.

The game up here needs an almighty clear out because these blazer boys don't have a feckin clue what they're doing.

First thing I would do would be to move Head Office to Edinburgh (our Capital city not Glasgow where all the problems with our game lie) and share Murryfield, that alone would get rid of some of the hangers on ( probably couldna be arsed travelling to Edinburgh for meetings etc)

Putting the SFA headquarters in Edinburgh is a ridiculous idea, as is sharing Murrayfield. The problems with Scottish football have nothing to do with geography or Hampden. If it’s a blame game you want to start, start with Stewart Milne

Sorry, but in my opinion almost everything that is wrong in Scottish football IS a geography thing, and Glasgow is the epicentre.

Odd that most of the yahoos in their supporters clubs, come from outwith Glasgow.

You see, in my view, therein lies the problem. Rule number 1, criticism of Glasgow is not allowed. Rule number 2, find someone else to blame.

It cannot be argued that the two biggest clubs come from that city and many around them rely on them for some occassional gate money to survive. This, allied with a press, suffering from vastly dropping sales, based in Glasgow, only interested in the "big two", create a bubble of self interest that harms Scottish Football. That, with the religeous thing, creates a divide from early education, that the bubble feeds on.

Having the headquarters of Scottish Football centred on the city, within the bubble, only further feeds the bubble. Moving the headquarters away from that bubble and forcing the press to move out of Glasgow occassionally "could" see a reduction of the "received wisdom" generated by the rumour mill created in the bubble - see recent wrong reporting of Dons voting intentions generated in the bubble in support of one of their own clubs wishes.

So moving the headquarters to Edinburgh has some merit.

Moving to Murrayfield however is more finely balanced. I'd be content with staying at Hampden if it was recognised that the publictransport authorities and the football authoritiestook into account supporters travel needs rather than setting kick off times totally unsuitable for supporters from afar. Dons v United on a wed night replay for example. Also more acceptable if they got rid of that crap that is old fart ends of the ground.
