All football, starting with our game tonight has been cancelled until further notice.
Sensible thing to do.
Just wind up the league and give us the Scottish cup.

Delighted that the corrupt football authorities have been forced to cancel the bigotfest, which they were wanting to play (and cancel football afterwards). A good result for the police (especially Ibrox police station) and the ambulance and A&E departments.

Only decision that could sensibly be made. My guess is that UEFA will cancel Euro2020 and leagues will attempt to play remaining games so that leagues can finish in June as just imagine the chaos if they can’t finish. Who would be Champions if anyone? Who would be promoted/relegated if anyone? Who plays in Europe next season? The lawyers will be getting rich on all the various court cases.
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 😂😂😂😂

I've got a feeling the Euros will be cancelled til next year too, and the leagues and cups around Europe might get finished off over the summer. I suppose they could come up with some way of determining league positions by taking the teams still in the mix for 3rd place and having some sort of mini league between them, and similarly those still in the mix for relegation. So Aberdeen, Motherwell, Livingston and Hibs play each other once and that determines who qualifies for Europe, or just let Aberdeen and Motherwell play each other over two legs. I dunno, just thinking of ways things could be determined without every single remaining game being played, as that seems unlikely. I also think it's unlikely that anyone will accept that everything's decided based on where things stand right now, so there'll have to be some kind of footballing solution you'd imagine. It might actually be an interesting opportunity to experiment with summer football, which would be much better than playing through storms on churned up pitches in winter anyway.Originally Posted by Red Zone
The big worry is financially though - clubs will still have most of their outgoings, but vastly reduced incomes while games are off.

Considering they were saying yesterday that it will be another 12 weeks before the virus peaks I can’t see the football returning next month.
The seasons over,they won’t bother continuing it after 3 months off.

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.

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.

I can't see it being back any time soon but I can imagine McInnes would be delighted with 4th and a semi final
