Just being discussed for the championship18 games max per club?
To be fair if it’s 18 games that suits us we will win the league before the winter break which seems to %^*& is up every year18 games max per club?
If that happens then sky will insist on the old firms being moved to later in season. No chance they’ll want them early behind closed doors

Think he means Championship 18 games mate.
To be honest I really think playing behind closed doors will favour us rather than them. An empty Piggery could also see them drop more points at home.
Is it not the case that it the Premiership doesn't start on 1 August then Sky can cancel the existing 5 year contract as the SPFL would be in breach - obviously Sky would renegotiate but on much less favourable terms?
They will. It will mean more potential subscriptionsIf that happens then sky will insist on the old firms being moved to later in season. No chance they’ll want them early behind closed doors
In the same way restarting the 2019/20 Scottish Cup to completion with different squads damages the integrity of the competition, but we already know the rest of Scottish football cares not a jot about that.The Scottish Cup without all of the SFA's clubs getting a chance to compete in it isn't really the Scottish Cup.
Just wait till the redundancies kick in post furlough. The number of Sky subscribers are about to plummet.They will. It will mean more potential subscriptions
Are you saying that they get behind the team more? Not having a dig btw, you may have a point.Think he means Championship 18 games mate.

They can call it 10 all they want, I'll never recognise it. I wasnt going to recognise it anyway.Just goes to show again how much of a farce ending the season now looks and the fact that next season will potentially be even shorter. Neither a finished season yet the SPFL will do anything to get them to 10.
These two seasons (if next proceeds like he says) need to completely removed from any record. Only in Scotland would that not happen.
I’m sure that’s being examined right now on how to just award them every thing going from here on in by a dodgy voteThe Scottish Cup would only have 22 teams in it?
Just scrap it for the season.
And award it to Celtic obviously.
It is certainly not beyond the thinking of any right minded Celtc biased football administration to squeeze them into both the Champions League and the Europa League next season. I don’t see why that can’t be done. SPFL, get it sorted, cheers.I’m sure that’s being examined right now on how to just award them every thing going from here on in by a dodgy vote
I don’t think Sky will be ‘baddies’ in this. The contract will work as planned - but with payments delayed until the footie starts. And that, right there, will be the issue. The clubs desperately need the dosh as soon as possible.
My club already has my money and I'm certain they have tens of thousands other bears who have already comittedNo fans until Feb will be a very tough sell for any Premiership club to get season ticket money in.

They wouldn't even play 2 with a 13 point head start!%^*& it just play 4 old firms and no other games winner takes it all

Fair enough. I don't watch celtic games on tv, in fact I hardly see any games, having council tv. I do without the highlights, because of the bbc.I wouldn't say they get behind the team more, looking at it from a couple of different angles.
One thing I hate to admit but have to is that we have buckled in the last 2 seasons almost identically. I’ve been to most of them games, aways to Kilmarnock, home to the Sheep, away to St Johnstone and felt the same after each game. The team couldn’t cope with the pressure from the stands. Not a criticism of the fans of course but playing in an empty stadium means the players won’t feel that pressure.
Another factor is the tricky away games. You would think that Rangers and Celtic will both face the same problems at each ground but I always feel that teams and fans just try that bit harder against us. You can feel and see the differences in atmosphere (maybe Hearts the exception)
Look at the game against the Sheep this season. Yes we shouldn’t have let go of a 2 goal lead however the Sheep and their fans never gave up and I’ve no doubt they helped spur their team on to the comeback so they could get one over on us. Look at their game against the Scum. Practically gave up before the start and 3/4-0 down at half time.
One last point I thought off is referees. There’s no doubt over the years that the scum support has been able to influence refs especially at the Piggery. I still think back to Zander Diamonds disallowed last minute goal in 2008 for nothing which would have pretty much killed their title chances. Again no fans might mean Refs won’t buckle as much to the scum and their support.
Maybe I’m trying to be too optimistic for next season lol and I will certainly miss going to the games. Just think it will actually play to our advantage a bit more. Fingers crossed.
9 months before fans back in stadiums is a nonsense.
