It was probably expected but the SFA have just released the following statement after today’s meeting.
“The decision to suspend all football until at least 10 June is to help clubs ensure the safety and wellbeing of players, staff and supporters as well as take steps to mitigate their costs. Scottish football applauds everyone working within NHS Scotland and the care sector and should place no additional burden at a time when their resources are being tested to the limit because of COVID-19.”
While football and the world of sport takes a back seat to a deadly virus that has been shutting doors around the world this suspension was expected but still sorry news at the same time.
The Scottish FA board met only this morning to discuss the Scottish football shutdown while been guided by the latest medical advice.
The latest news from the meeting says that the decision was unanimous to extend the suspension for all Scottish football. The first suspension was due to finish at the end of this month but nobody in their right mind expected any football to resume in May.
While the figures from the virus are on the rise in the UK and elsewhere in the world, there is no end in sight of any part of life returning to normal nevermind sport.
