It's all turning into a right good laugh if nothing else.

HC - as a non-Jambo what's your take on it?
My DungdeeUtd mate thinks we're wrong of course, but his side benefitted from the early end to the season so I'm not sure how much vested interest theer might be in that.
I think the season should have been finished. Could have been easily done.

Re: We're goin' down, down, down, down...
I think the relegation is a scandal. Just consider the arbitrary timing that lockdown started. If it had been a week earlier (and several knowledgeable people say it should have been), we wouldn't have been bottom. We're now (I think) the only country in Europe (the world?) to have relegated a team before the season ended properly.
I think the Belgian case could be a precedent, as it went to the competition authority. It's clearly (surely) an anti-competitive practice for competitors to vote you out of a division.
Good to see you're ok, Forrest.

Going at it jointly with Partick helps us. Their case is strongest, as the spfl is supposed to treat all clubs fairly....yet they were relegated after playing fewer games than the team above them. They were disadvantaged by being judged with less opportunity than the next side.
