Auld Jag Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 The Premier league clubs have voted to increase the amount of useable subs from 3 to 5. Teams are only allowed to stop the play 3 times to make the subs. A total off 9 players are allowed on the bench. The other leagues will have a vote on this before the 17th October. The new rules will be used in the League and Challenge cups. They will only be used in the 2020/21 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jags on tour Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 No-one was calling for 5 subs before the pandemic and now they vote to change it, no-one was calling for reconstruction before the pandemic and they refuse it and shaft us. I hope the lot of them go bust and liquidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jago1953 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 We will be 20pts ahead of 2nd place with 6 games to play. Another wave of Covid-19 strikes remaining games cancelled. SPFL decision- no promotion as it would be unfair to promote a team when league is cancelled. Who says they wouldn’t? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he would never forgive Raith! Strong stuff from a non-Jag! I like McInally, seems to pretty much just say what he thinks and it's usually something I either agree with or can see his point of view. Hope he does reasonably well this season, a close 2nd would be nice.

East Kent Jag II Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 40 minutes ago, Norgethistle said: Maybe they have cancelled promotion or relegation this season McGregor did come up with this beauty several weeks ago. Difficulty is that the SPFL called the lower divisions for 19/20, with the later calling of the Premier Division on average points per game..  They in all probability will not be able to N & V the Premiership for the 20/21 season because of their contractual arrangements with Sky, but can they seek to do this for the lower divisions? The SPFL Exec did seek power to make Covid decisions for this season, but were knocked back by clubs. The fact that it is 20/21 and not 19/20 will not make a blind bit of a difference to the SPFL, and their Sky contract is their only sacred cow.  If their is another lockdown or big outbreak, they will turn the argument 180 degrees round and claim that N & V for the lower divisions is the only fair outcome, as we are playing a reduced number of games.  Others quoted extracts from "Animal Farm" in the Court thread, but the SPFL are capable of trying to manipulate this for real. Fun ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsca Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 2 hours ago, jlsarmy said: They wouldn’t do that , would they ? As we have been told time and time again, the SPFL can only do what the Clubs tell them to do. They have no power of their own apparently. So if relegation/ promotion was to be cancelled for 20/21 season, they would need a serios of votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I’m wondering if the season will actually start in October as the UK appears (or is reported) to be accelerating towards a 2nd wave. The first one stopped sport in Scotland for 5 month, if something similar happens football (In Scotland Lower leagues) won’t happen this calendar year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the SFA are also set to allow some Scotland fans into Hampden for a match early September too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garscube Road End Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 The SFA and the SPFl dont give a flying **** about clubs outside the Premiership. Thay would be more than happy to let everyone below that to go bust and have just one league with no relegation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Whatever happens, we need to win our opening game. If we lose it and find ourselves at the bottom of the league on goal difference then the season gets shut down due to the expected Covid resurgence....... well, guess what will happen.

Even if the season runs for the 27 games, a faulty start is big problem to the shorter season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
