Celtic champions & Hearts relegated after SPFL ends season....

[Leyton388]

The null and voiders will be having bitch fits.

[Mark79]

The SPL also say they plan to start next season on 1st August.
They have a new, bigger TV deal kicking in for 20/21. Same as France.

[Alex]

LOL Wonder why they binned this year off then.

Sporting integrity probably.

[Chris]

That Mirror story about how the Bundesliga got disappointing viewing figures when it was actually quite the opposite has pissed me off. Does my head in the constant negativity attached to absolutely everything, especially **** like that written by a supposed football supporter.

I think it's largely cashflow related. Prize money is beind paid now and many clubs will need that

[Fredo]

It might be a year before the public might be allowed back to stadiums.

I wonder how much money Hearts were given to accept relegation

[Buzzo]

This is the SPL, they will get **** all.

Quite rightly, Hearts aren't accepting the decision.

Beyond farcical the events that have lead to this.

They should have won more than 4 games then.

I just can't see it. Testing, masks, reduced capacities, spacing etc, fans will be back before Chtistmas, albeit not full houses. Unless wave 2 is bad and then wave 3. If that's the case, football is irrelevant, it's a race to survive.

[ChesterDave]

They should have a full season. I haven't looked at the fixtures but it is particularly pertinent in Scotland with its season split format. Where were the locations and who were the opponents of their fixtures in the 3rd round of matches. How do these opponents compare to their rivals?

Hull want the championship voided so ****house tactics arent premier league exclusive

[BobTheCharmer]

Weeks ago the premier league should have confirmed 100% no voiding would occur. They obviously can't commit to getting the games played, in a lot respect it's out if their hands. But they should have confirmed whether its Points average, or whatever other means, there would be champions and if there's no restart its us. Would have stopped all the other fans being cunts and we could have all relaxed a little over lockdown.
