One t in Scotland Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Whit - So finish 9th in the Premiership before the split then you just start from scratch again on parity again with the rest and another 2 teams from the league below? I can't be bothered reading below that. Edit : 'Further two to be added from same or Colt teams'. Aye right.

Dick Dastardly Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 16 team top league. Top 6 in playoffs for champions - 6 v 3 and 5 v 4 home and away winners play 1 and 2 home and away then grand final. Can have relegation playoffs if you want, but second league of 16 no frills championship. Regional below that and no colt teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West of Scotland Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 What absolute twaddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggydave Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 So we could have the scenario, based on this season, that after split DU and AU go up to play send half of season with bottom 6 from PL, absolutely bomb and DU end up bottom and AU lose the playoff and get relegated to the league they were in after 14 games, while ICT 'win' post split league, get a trophy and Dungdee win playoff and go up after having the benefit of playing arguably 2 weaker teams after the top 2 leave the set-up. Sporting integrity...….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Gekantawa Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Leaving aside the ludicrously convoluted top two divisions- why on earth have 2 regionalised bottom divisions of 10 playing each other 4 times rather than a single bottom division of 20 playing each other twice. We're not exactly a huge country. I suspect I know what the fans would prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 And can we just get rid of the Ramsden's Caramel Wafer Diddy cup. Just get rid. We don't need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not exactly a huge country. I suspect I know what the fans would prefer. I can understand the north south split. It is a hell of a journey for a part time Stranraer to goto Brora for a midweek game in January. Players would also need to take extra time off work from their day jobs.

Sporting integrity...….. or a scenario where Ayr play ICT in the final game pre split, where the winner goes to join the PL bottom 6 and the loser stays to challenge for the Championship. Both are scoring own goals trying to lose and therefore have the better chance of promotion next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Is this document in any way official, or has somebody just cobbled it together to get a reaction? Of course these are not mutually exclusive possibilities. "Laughing stock" is an overused cliche, but it doesn't even come close to what Scottish football would be if this came to pass.

sandy Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 A radical suggestion. Let’s get back to Division 1-4 and none of this Premiership / Championship nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARu-Strathbungo Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I can understand the League 1 split between north and south as this would help with travel for teams who are a majority of part time players, but the idea that splitting the Championship in the same manner as the Premier would have us assume the present Premier League 'top six / bottom six' split is popular and makes for good quality football. It's not popular and it doesn't produce quality football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
