There is a difference between training and keeping fit

English National North/South are shutting down and they do have testing in place

I genuinely hope that you are right, but .... .... turn your question round and ask why it would be in the interest of SFA/SPFL (not the clubs) to restart the leagues ? less than half the member clubs and a tiny percentage of supporters are impacted.

The advice is don't travel unless absolutely necessary. Is Elgin v Stranraer absolutely necessary ?

Happy days if we are in the same league as the old firm, and NOT in the premier league

There is also the politics. The football industry is currently held in low esteem by the government, partly due to the SFA/SPFL sounding off and partly due to a player holiday in Dubai. In the current climate with all the country in lockdown, it would not be great PR to start allowing part time players to travel around the country twice a week. The lockdown level will need to be reduced, possibly to level 2 over a wide area, before the authorities will have any option to start leagues one and two again

Imagine what it’s like for a pessimist like me. The thing that keeps me going is thinking I knew I was right

After what Rangers said when this happened 12 months ago, it would by hypocricy if they were now to vote for final placings before the end of the season. Or am I naive ?

The rugby teams will go into a bubble, with little contact to the outside world. With regular testing, they should be safe from picking up the virus. The travel to and from Italy and France could be the issue, but in most cases elite sport with chartered flights should be allowed.

Strange for Brechin, or any club to be signing anyone, unless he has signed as an amateur, or pay as you play. They won't be able to furlow him and I can't believe that they can keep paying wages without any income.

I never thought there was any chance even before this

So Boris has plans to get to 1,000,000 a week and you expect Scotland to get 40% ?

Genuine question. Is Scotland sourcing it’s own vaccine or getting a share of the UK supply?

I think that is wildly optimistic to think things will look very different by the end of Feb. The clinically most vulnerable my have been vaccinated, but that will be well off the general public seeing anything. Unless Scotland is way ahead of England, under 50’s are currently targeted late September for the FIRST jab. Weather may help in April, but I would be amazed if we are not in some sort of severe lockdown upto at least then

Surely you should know by now that Doncaster doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t want to

I would imagine Alloa, Arbroath, and QotS might also want to call it a day, possibly also Morton.

Why do people keep reminding me of these nightmares I’d managed to wipe from my memory banks ?

I don’t think I would be opposed to the top leagues being restructured to support all the teams that want to go full time and separated from those who want to stay part time. I don’t know how many would want to make that move, but provided there was a place for all full time clubs, such a restructure would have some merit. edit. Current Championship - Alloa and Arbroath + Thistle, Falkirk, Airdrie, Cove and Queens Park if there was no relegation it would allow teams to blood young players more easily

Whey get rid of players like Niang when we will soon be able to sell him for cash ?

Why do we have to keep going back to players from past generations. He is 33 and couldn't get a senior club, which must say something about his current ability/fitness. And if anyone says Doolan or Erskine could do a job, I'll scream

Ours came over like a rant. My thought was Kenneth Williams “Infamy ! Infamy ! Everyone’s got it in for me” Falkirks is more measured and ends with an action. It is far more effective communication.

Words fail me

Dean’s letter is so much better thought out and worded compared to our rant
