This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

They're trying hard to finish by fortune_smith
.... even if it takes until July-Aug-Sept to do so, perhaps with some or all behind closed doors, because not finishing will be a mess that is expected to spawn massive litigation.
There's talk of nullifying the season, freezing the table, using a points-per-match table or promoting without relegating. But not sure there would be a uniform approach across leagues.
Belgium called its season off earlier this month, proposing that the standings after 29 matches be the final standings. That decision is due to be ratified this week.
Late last week speculation was "hotting up" that the Scottish league would do something similar.
To my knowledge, none of the big leagues have talked about how they'll resolve a table and all the associated issues if they're not able to resume.
