I'd be saying the same if they awarded Rangers the title btw. Absolutely. Anything and i mean anything that upsets them i will gleefully take. Next!

Also I’d be confident that Hearts can bounce back at the first attempt. Huge club at that level. Not really the point though is it? 4 hours ago, Ellis Rimmer said: End of the day somebody is going to lose out whatever the case so only right the worst performing team goes down At the end of the season yes.

Owl.1867 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 People keen to put an asterisk next to Celtic's title were less keen to talk about the actual tainted titles given out in the 90s. The title isnt the main thing here; not sure why someone was going on about Sevcos performances against Celtic, have you looked at the league table? The main issue is the relegation and I do feel for Hearts. Flip side is that someone was always going to lose out and why should that be a promoted team missing what they earned? It's a tricky situation and honestly my gut instinct for all the leagues is that null and void would be the only way to go, but we still see teams losing out in that case too.

Feel a bit for Hearts but it's the fairest way of dealing with it. Right now, they are the worst team. Unfortunate, but tough.

SiJ Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Tbf, if it was Partick Thistle (not Hearts) then there probably wouldn't be the level of furore. Who knows, perhaps long term a relegation might not be the worse thing. Allow them to press the reset button again. Though their relegation is very unfair, it doesn't entirely detract from the fact that Hearts have been a shambles this season..

Partick are actually another club affected but they have been expelled to League 1. They probably have the most unfair sporting situation out of all of the clubs because they had a game in hand and were only 2 points behind Queen of the South. They are talking big pay cuts and are losing players now. It’s not right, there shouldn’t be any relegation in this circumstance. I hope that the compo that we should win from the SPFL will help them somewhat but it’s going to take a long time to go through. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/partick-thistle-forced-massive-wage-22048042 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those days died out the same as the old Rangers did. There are around 6 Celtic Supporters Clubs down here and maybe 2 or 3 of the dead Rangers club still kicking about. The main Rangers supporters club died in 2013 and when the demolition guys were actually bringing it down around 200 Celtic fans done the huddle around it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0wl18 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 What a mess. I‘ve changed my mind a good 10 times on what the correct solution should be. That’s why I firmly believe the SPFL should be held accountable for the shambles of a vote they held for the football league sides. Ending the season early and, financial help for clubs in difficulty are 2 very different things which, should have neared no resemblance to each other. All clubs could have been given financial help (loans to the value of their prize money based on current standings at a minimum). Then, a solid plan of how to end the season put into place. It’s completely apparent we’re months away from the new season starting so, ending the old one really didn’t need to happen right now. Celtic were comfortably going to win the league however, the relegated teams had more than a fighting chance of staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Yeah...Celtic were going to be champions. Best team still by a distance. To condemn others to relegation when Germany have just restarted and the EPL are in the process of restarting doesn't look great. Why were they so desperate to get the season wrapped up? Was it to do with finances or was this just club politics? Whole thing seems like a shambles though from the outside looking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have offered financial support and, also set their stance that their preference was for the league not to continue. Talks could have commenced between all clubs to get to the bottom of how to end the season. instead, clubs had to decide what was the lesser of two evils, going out of business or, biting the bullet and accepting the league ends based on current standings. A team has been relegated due to a 2 point deficit yet, they have a game in hand, there’s nothing remotely sensible about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
