Play to a finish, or null and void. There can be no in between.
Rules cannot be changed during a season.
Totally agree. Can’t see it being played to a finish, so null and void is the only outcome that is sensible - some teams will be pissed off some will be happy. Ultimately It’s people’s lives that count, not the outcome of a football season.
If they did it in our championship we would be okay wouldn’t we even if we finished 3rd from bottom? They can’t promote a 3rd team from League One if there are no playoffs.

Imagine the fall out from the Scousers if the English Prem gets nixed this season. I know it's not very sportsman like, but I for one would find that really funny

between the scoucers and the old firm arguing about 9 in a row/8 +1* in a row etc there are some BIG calls that need to be made.
Anne Budge has already said that we'll take legal action if we are relegated from the premiership without finishing the season although i think that was a warning shot was hoping to scare them off.
In my humble yet biased opinion, the best way for Scottish football to conclude the season is to extend the leagues to 14. the team currently in 1st place are champions and the team currently in 2nd are runners up with both promoted, no relegations.

I think the top 4 in Scots league 3 should be promoted and bottom 4 from league 2...relegated....
Is this something to do with Covid 19 ...or have they just realised that it's an abject insult to competitive football and permanently closing the SFL out of sympathy to all involved?

Looks like just one Championship team in Scotland need to vote in favour for this to pass with the required numbers all being obtained in other Leagues
e.g. the vote needed nine teams from the Premier League to accept the proposal, only Rangers and Hearts have been against it, naturally the only real two with anything to lose
Hope the FA dont tread the same path else its League One for us next season, you'll be able to guarantee that those directly above us will be in favour of ending the season early, as will the current top six
What'll annoy me about the Charlton situation if it happens isnt the fact we've only been in the relegation zone for one week this entire season (that could easily have happened after the Leeds game in May). But the fact that had we beaten Hull the very next game, we'd have been saved ourselves. Same from Luton and Barnsley, had they won a couple of games they could have been safe - You cannot end a season early when such permutations exist!!
Not to mention its going to be massively awkward if this rolls on into large parts of next season - The Scottish League have jumped to this decision far too soon

Personally think it’s different for our leagues, especially Championship for example. You’d have the current bottom 3 vote against it, 7th down to about 12th all voting against it as they would believe they can still get top 6, plus 3rd-6th would all think they have a chance of promotion too. That’s 13 teams already, over half the league.
If the FA were stupid enough to put things to a vote of whether the season should be finished as it currently stands, I think you’d have the majority against the idea in this country.
You are completely right that Scotland have reacted far too soon.
Let’s see what the situation is at the beginning of June and reassess. Things aren’t going to change too much before then, and we will have a clearer picture of the situation. If it gets to the point in June where we still see no end in sight, or a realistic date of returning, null and void everything and restart when we can.
Can see why Dundee were conflicted, but great news for lads over the road. I would usually find myself more supportive of Dundee, but a great pal of mine and @guinnessaddick is at United these days, so delighted for him.

If they did it against just the top 6 then we'd stay up.

Doesnt stink in the slightest does it!!
Same with Raith Rovers who have been promoted and Falkirk, just a point seperates the two and they meet on the final day of the season
