I don't know why this would come as a surprise to anyone. May be this is why the spfl then decided to skip over it as a risk, when pushing for the first resolution.

If the cunts who run our clubs weren't expecting this they're thicker than I realised. If I booked and paid for a 4 week holiday but the company cancelled the last week I'd expect a fuckin rebate. Mon tae fuck man, if you seriously don't think this was discussed you've been listening to too much propaganda 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anyone on here who wishes to see any club relegated before the season was finished? Celtic will never be champions this season until it is over and Hearts shouldn't be relegated.

I think most did want it finished, but obviously that couldn't happen and the teams voted for it as it is. So common sense was used and titles awarded etc. Celtic won it, get over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRobRoy Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Anyway, on topic, have the fitba authorities actually forgotten about the cup competitions? Or will they just award the Scottish Cup to one bumcheek and the Challenge Cup to the other one, even though neither of them were eligible for the latter?

slasher Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 They've agreed to a deal with Sky and close to reaching agreement with BT. I'm not buying this chat that some clubs 'didnae know' or that they weren't told about it. Its common sense ffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there? They've been negotiating with BT for weeks according to this report. This would suggest clubs knew about it and decided to vote to end the season https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53077082 BT Sport is set to receive a total of around £2.3m in compensation from the SPFL for matches missed when last season was halted early. The two parties are close to agreeing a deal over a series of staged payments after weeks of negotiations. BT Sport's five-year agreement to show matches ended at the conclusion of last season. A deal has already been reached with Sky Sports to pay it around £1.5m compensation over the next five years. In November 2018, Sky struck an exclusive £160m agreement to show 54 matches for each of the next five campaigns, starting in August. Earlier this year, SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster was criticised for suggesting that BT Sport "haven't given Scottish football the love they show other leagues".

Fairbairn Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Would it not have been prudent for the SPFL to have some sort of Pandemic Insurance so that if something like this happens they are covering the costs of any liabilities? That's probably a bit too sensible and forward thinking for them to have considered I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
