    Everyone is saying there will be a 2nd wave of this virus and its likely it will hit over the winter,so in turn its safe to say the country will maybe end up back in lockdown for some time.
    This would also lead to the shut down of the league and maybe having to finish the league again the same way they did last season.

    So the question is dare we drop a point this season until we have a gap over them.

    Everyone will drop points...

    What we NEED to do is win every game early season and try to build a lead of any sorts to make sure that scenario will always work in OUR favour.

    What we MUSTN’T do is let the ibrokes filth get ANY sort of lead over us whatsoever.

    Winning the first ‘Derby’ will be important in these respects.... to either establish or build on a decent lead.

    I suspect that IF football is halted again this coming season - the spfl having seen that other countries finished leagues ...and knowing the fiasco that came about in Scotland - the same ‘vote to end’ method would not be employed..

    Although... if the Huns were in front by any margin... you can bet they’d suddenly be in favour.

    No chance anyone’s getting awarded the title in the winter. Would have to be into March time again I would think with whatever team having a 10+ point lead, if it was to close down and champions awarded. Would be a * way to win 10IAR if we had only played 15 odd games.

    IMO though if there was to be a lock down again I’m not sure football would stop, as they are well prepared now and have regular tests. Think it would be more pubs, restaurants etc that would be closed.

    If we stopped in November until March I would imagine they will vote to lower the league to 33 games but I imagine they will be working out several options in advance to stop what happened with the hun cousins and Partick.

    The Ten Commandments
    1. You shall have no other Gods but Edouard
    2. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it. Lubo was your eternal gift, respect him.
    3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your *, Odsonne.
    4. You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy, Sunday lunchtimes are to be kept free for Sky Sports.
    5. Respect your father and mother. Buy a 20 crate for all to enjoy.
    6. You must not commit murder - stop at 8-0
    7. You must not commit adultery, St Pauli trips are banned til Covid-19 is over.
    8. You must not steal - anything other than a vote from Dundee.
    9. You must not give false evidence against your neighbour - unless it is the Compliance Officer asking.
    10. You must not be envious of your neighbour's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbour - Ibrox is a shithole and Tavernier is pish.

    Does anyone know if they've altered the league rules following this year's pandemic?

    It was put to the vote last week to give the spfl ‘executive powers’ to make decisions on a repeat (pandemic etc.) scenario without a club members vote...

    The clubs voted against.... :smoke:

    Doncaster or whoever should grow a set and let all clubs know what is gonna happen if the league shuts down again instead of pandering to every * sensibilities should that arise.everyone will know well in advance no need for court cases .the only way anybody is gonna stop 10 in a row is on a technicallity,the rules need to be stated upfront as I have no doubt the * will try and screw us out of it if there is any ambiguity.

    I am concerned about the potential impact of the pandemic on this season, but we should be looking to win every game regardless.

    They can’t end the season like they did this year. There needs to be a contingency plan, they’ve got plenty of time to think.

    I highly doubt it will come to that anyway.

    Sevco tramps would be screaming for the league to be called in September if they're up on goal difference and there's even a hint of a second wave, because that's exactly the same situation as last season in their minds, be hilarious to watch.

    As long as its not to the zombies then yeah, I want us to win the league while scudding them all the way along. A bore draw at home to kille on a Wednesday night I can accept but * losing to those wanks.

    Just Lenny it :lenny1:
