Stewart Regan: Scrap the winter break and play youths to finish the season

[alan16]

Fuck off lispy cunt.

I find myself tending to agree with this sentiment !

 

[GTM]

Who in gods name is giving this guy an opinion about Scottish football? He didn’t have any positive impact while running the game up here so who thinks that will suddenly change now?

Oxygen thief

 

[cm72]

Why not just play games behind closed doors to get the season finished?

Doing this actually costs more money than not playing at all. Also it's still putting the players and staff at risk.

 

[Gersman4]

A stupid set of ideas from a gormless moron.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Sporting integrity dictates the season CANNOT be extended by 2 weeks.

And prat face should know that more than anyone .

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Youths - cannon fodder?

 

[Davie Meiklejohn]

I've not read the whole thread.

However, with calls to extend the season, why the reluctance to refer to precedent?

 

[blue barney]

Utter fanny

 

[eeboh]

What a fanny, cancel all SFA games, then get the youths to play! Cant believe that he has even came out with this.

That could present a problem to celtc, or do they admit to having a youth team these days?

 

[TynesideTrueBlue]

Regan is a mentally challenged bastard I couldn’t give a fcuk what he says.

 

[BSPECIAL]

It's clowns like reagan who have put scotshit football in the state it is.
Referee strike then his private meeting with lennon when no one else was present.Strange that they have had everything go their way since. How not one member of the league demanded to be at that special meeting is a mystery. You just couldn't trust reagan never mind him and lennon setting out the future of the game A pair of corrupt chunts in a meeting?You know it's not right but it happened and you can see the consequences. Anyway this clowns opinions on football should not be taken serious. He was indirectly put into power by his friend liewell.

 

[wullieonthewing7]

Tell you what, the QV situation is flushing the worst of them out.

 

[ItsInTheNet]

Wow! Such innovation!

 

[nemessis]

That is why he should never have been in a position of power in Scottish football. Complete idiot.

He's the prick that forwarded the names and addresses that FARE had of all the Rangers supporters that officially complained about IRA and racist chants that the Schumtic supporters sang against Hearts.
He sent all these peoples private details to Peter Lawwell, that bastard should have been up in court.

Seriously?

 

[Delbert]

The guys a fool, this season should be declared void and get cracking with the Euro qualifiers when they come riund

 

[Iain04]

Sums up the numpties we let run our game

 

[nemessis]

Seriously?

Yes seriously, FARE don't handle complaints on domestic matches only European games so FARE said they forwarded them to Reagan,(at that time we thought they were legit instead of being run to an agenda) who in turn sent all the details including home addresses, email addresses phone numbers everything to the very club that were complained about, there goes your conspiracy theories the bastards are all interlinked.

Honestly never knew that. He is an even bigger wanker than I ever imagined

 

[MFM_Bear]

I see he's still a fuucking idiot then.

 

[RTD-BEAR]

They have already said they are holding off on closing schools because when they do it will likely be months rather than weeks, that then means parents will be forced to take time off work to look after them, it will have a domino effect pretty much bringing the country to a standstill. It’s going to happen but they ar e trying to lessen it as much as possible.
Football on the other hand is totally optional. So I can see why the union is just saying no.

Yea it's about preparation schools will close i think for Easter and not re open till August

I'd also add there's still a lot of people not taking this as serious as it is even if its the lower end of mortality rate of 1 % that's is between 500-750k people in the UK who will lose their lives to the virus.

The higher end of 3% yout talking 2.5 million people in the UK will die

 

[BenVorlich]

Was he pished when he came out with those words of wisdom?

 

[Fernando26]

Players union have already said that's not acceptable - why should players be put at risk? Right stance imho

I need to go to work.

FORMER SFA chief executive Stewart Regan would cancel next year's winter break and force cup matches to be played by reserves and youth team players in a bid to ensure that the season can be completed despite the coronavirus crisis in UK football.

The former Hampden supremo and Yorkshire Cricket Club managing director has taken to social media to unveil a new seven-point plan to ease an issue which could this week see all football banned until the summer.

A joint SFA and SPFL working group - acting on government advice - took the decision to scrap all Scottish football indefinitely, including the third league meeting between Rangers and Celtic which was scheduled for Ibrox tomorrow.

While it is anyone's guess when government advice will allow mass gatherings to take place again, Regan hopes it is possible to play football again as soon as possible.

He would pick up the season again where it left off, squeezing the league season into a "tighter time-frame" by freeing up fixture dates currently occupied by cup games.

If the league cannot be completed by the time next season's European club competitions are designated to start, then European slots could go to the teams who held those positions when the league was postponed.

Next season's cup matches should be played midweek and involve "non first-team players", allowing for opportunities for young players.

The normal 'end of season' could also be extended by two weeks to give the leagues further capacity.


Reports claim that Regan's successor Ian Maxwell and his SPFL counterpart Neil Doncaster will thrash out a joint UK-wide approach on a Thursday meeting with the EFL and the Premiership, amid speculation that the season could be scrapped immediately and shut down til AUGUST.

For now, next year's campaign is scheduled to get under way with the BetFred Cup in July 2013, but it is anyone's guess right now how long the pandemic will take hold.

Nope we have a tour arranged for the 1st day after the league is due to finish

 

[Andrew webb]

Regan best ignored

 

[Ticketybloo]

Complete Bollox of an idea.
Go away ya Bam.

 

[FDH21]

What an odd idea.

 

[Monts1310]

2013.

 

[Martin]

A UK wide solution with no mention of Ireland or the FAW?
Does this mean England and only England?
Is this because, if reports are accurate, the English League are looking to simply award Liverpool the title, this giving them the excuse they’re desperate for?

We would go to the CAS for the champions league place in this scenario hopefully.

Liverpool are so far ahead and dont have to play their nearest rivals twice before the end of the season. Time for our board to step up to the plate an fight the rats all the way.

 

[Super Cooper]

Great career ending pressure to put onto kids.

 

[Melbbear]

I wait s minute our youths are battering everyone could be on to something here.
Only saying hey hey.
