75% of games not played

[scottm]

Keep hearing from the tims that if the league is called before 75% of the games have been played then it will be null & void. Is there any truth in this?

I've argued otherwise in the past but 75% of games isn't any sort of threshold. The only reference I can find to 75% is a vote percentage from clubs needed to change rules mid-season.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

There is no rule. There is no minimum or maximum number because the clubs wouldn't give Doncaster the opportunity. If it comes to it then it will go to a vote, same as last year. Never believe one of them. In fact, they are best avoided altogether.

 

[Byson]

Complete pish

Stop listening to tims.

There are no rules, but why do you think they are so reluctant to play their games in hand? They want to be able to argue that

 

[Paisleybear30]

The rule will be conveniently just shy of whatever last season was sitting at

 

[Papasmurf]

At what point were they gifted it last season?

Your answer will be

“Nae luck Timmy, try harder” and then crack a big grin that Boydie would be proud of.

 

[Bobans27]

No chance, Scottish football can’t afford it in the first place.

 

[justice]

They make up whatever rules and morality suit their own agenda

 

[Glasgow Rangers (Sco)]

How can you reason with people who have that attitude?

 

[SuperGers07]

Piss off

 

[BF_Loyalist]

The bastards are clutching at straws in the hope league is cancelled. At worst it should only be a break, not cancelled. Anything else is a disgrace if it happens

 

[sirstevefleming]

I wouldn’t trust a Catholic to tell me the time

 

[Ünnëcëssärÿ Ümläüts]

At what point were they gifted it last season?

They had played more games than us I remember that.

 

[dh1963]

There are no rules for ending the season, just like last year.

 

[55 and counting]

SPFL cannot afford not having the games finished 2 years in a row. Would bankrupt the league.

 

[Madjid Moments]

We are only 6 games away from that mark. If they want to use that as their threshold for debate there is no way we will not play another 6 games.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

It's irrelevant if they play them if they can't catch us without us dropping points. However the season won't be stopped.

 

[randjers]

We could have 99% of games played and a mathematical impossibility for them and still they'd find a way to null and void the season. It ain't over until Rangers are lifting the trophy.

No, this time we finish it. also dont listen or engage with the collective they know its over.

Going to the vote is worrying. It does away with the precedent.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Haha tell them to get to fu*k.They should be worry about the up and coming court cases.

 

[top_cat]

The season will end when it is due to end. Every other elite professional football league is working towards that end also.

 

[nybear]

At what point were they gifted it last season?

30 games

 

[roffey]

Your standard reply to anything like this should be “check you out you desperate bastard”

Hopefully doesn't get to that. However, expect the pressure to be ramped up over the next fortnight as Covid numbers get higher and higher before the lockdown/inoculations start to have an effect and they begin to drop off agian.

Did you never dial TIM the speaking clock?

 

[Bluecares]

A threshold / ruleset was never set by the governing bodies last season.

They also astonishingly never agreed one prior to this season starting.

Complacent and corrupt but wont stop our glory this year.

 

[RoofeIsOnFire]

We only need to play until St Johnstone on the 3rd of February to hit 75%, they are grasping at straws because they know they are falling further and further behind the league

 

[TheWorks]

Don’t listen to or read anything or interact in any way with those smelly bastards

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

We have a vaccine. They aren't going to cancel the season.

Stop being absolute roasters.

They can %^*& right off... Scumbags... Are they.... We will win it by playing All the game's and winning it by rights, not handed to us...they would be calling for it to be called now if they had our lead..... That's the difference between us and them....

 

[delboi]

Any Tim talking of voiding the season is a sign of pure panic...which is amusing.

 

[Teddy bear]

Ask them to show you this rule in writing.

 

[baselbear]

At what point were they gifted it last season?

79%.

[Walters80]

Uefa would probably hammer the first league that tried to end things early this season as it would open the floodgates for others to follow.

The Euros,Champions league and Europa league are worth billions to them they can't afford to risk them after losing a huge amount of money last season.

The only way this league will end early is if it reaches people dying in the streets level and we aren't anywhere near that yet

 

[BF_Loyalist]

I wouldn’t trust a Catholic to tell me the time

my wee granny always said the same. Told me to never trust one

 

[sprally]

Do not engage in any sort of conversation with utter moon howlers.

 

[sw26]

There is no rule.

Stop listening to Them and your life will be much better.

 

[El Chico de Natura]

Remind him that the famine’s over.

 

[EndOfDays]

We are only 6 games short of where we were last season at this point anyway.

 

[Mosschops]

They can't null and void the season can we stop with this fucking garbage??

We NEED to have CL and Europa League entrants, for that you need to award places.

Various league sponsors and Sky would demand refunds of monies paid which would bankrupt the league and most of the clubs.

STOP IT

 

[Kentbear]

We are so far ahead next seasons should be ours as well.

 

[Pablo Escobar]

Even if the season is null and void the 9.5 has gone regardless

 

[Ciro]

Clubs are going bankrupt the longer no fans are in grounds. The league will finish as TV money is one of the revenues keeping the lights on for most SPL clubs.

 

[JimmyBuffetloyal]

This is a figure they have pulled out of thin air.
It only relates to the games played at the time the league was halted and has no legal basis.
