  1. For me the completion of the first two rounds of fixtures is essential and should be the priority no matter what. At that stage everybody would have played each other twice, home and away, and league positions would be based on performance. Nobody could claim bias, whether relegated or Runners Up. If those two rounds are not fully completed then the League is voided and we start again whenever it is safe to do so. For that reason catching up on cancelled fixtures should take priority over starting the third round of fixtures. Thereafter I could maybe accept any early calling of the League, based on Points Per Game. But that raises the question of teams having possibly played immediate rivals away from home twice and only once at home, or perhaps having played more games against the OF than others. I don't think there is any solution that folk will agree on. But given the 10 in a row bullshit I am sure that any "discussions" this season will make last year's debacle seem like a walk in the park. Regarding the forfeiture of points I am torn. Any Club could (and likely will) be hit by CoVid and it seems harsh to award points if the stricken Club has followed all procedures and taken all mitigating measures. But if a team has ignored agreed procedures, then I see a case for awarding points to the opposing team. But it should be recognised that players ignoring guidance in their "private" time is something a Club cannot control and be liable for. I suspect a shambles is more likely than not.

  2. When Rangers and Celtic are battling out this 10 in a row thing I think it's unlikely teams will be awarded 0-3 results if they can't field a team and even if it does come in I foresee all sorts of shenanigans if it effected the bigger teams. I mean they have bigger squads but as we've seen all it takes is a few players in different bubbles to be infected and that knocks a lot of players out of contention. Also, I think some of our supporters need to realise that Covid is probably more likely than not to visit our doorstep at some point and that it's entirely possible we could be relegated because you are introducing a very random factor into which teams pick up points over the season. Then on top of that there is the whole thing of teams having already had games postponed, rescheduled and played. The whole thing is not so much a can of worms, as a can of vicious cobras. It might be that awarding results is the only way forward, I don't really know, but I see big trouble brewing.

  3. Just on the stv news, St Mirren reporting another 4 positive covid tests, they reckon the game v Hamilton on Saturday is very doubtful. Apparently thats the 4th time this season they have had an outbreak, which suggests repeated non compliance with procedures, yet still the SPFL do nothing.

  6. You mean except the one at the club he was at? Cadden joined the MLS to get to the English leagues cheaper - it didn't quite work out for him. Oh dear, how sad.

  7. It is a bit concerning Mo Ross said Rangers were the best coached team in the league, given he coaches us. I’d take issue with most of what he said, except the bit about st Mirren.

  8. If you add the coefficient points of all 3 clubs it comes to 16. Good luck to Dundalk. The Moldovan mob were seeded higher but to get a Faroes team in the play off round is taking the piss a little when others are playing Spurs, AC Milan etc. I am glad we were in Europe and hope to be again soon. But that does not change my mind that UEFA it is one of the most self serving organisations on planet earth. Basically it all about how we maximise revenue and literally NOTHING to do with sporting integrity. I have never agreed with seedlings in cup competitions but the fact UEFA seed every round up to the group stages is ridiculous. And as mentioned to give Champions League losers multiple chances and an easier path. Taking the piss at this point......
