Would it be possible to play the remaining games closed doors tested footballers and staff and pay per view the season tickets get a code to watch and anyone else want to support and watch just pay ? Is it possible ? I’m no expert

It's the only way the season would get close to starting on time but I honestly think they wont want any reason that could tempt folk into congregating. You also have to wonder about football players too. They aren't immune to this. The likes of scott allan and likely others will be self isolating and would rightly question why they are being put at risk

Although I presume, she can’t control English premier league coming into our homes

What is a strong argument against is the needs to protect players and associated staff. Some players such as Allan are high risk and some may need to isolate for other reasons, some foreign players may have returned home, so if clubs can't play their strongest eleven there's an argument there. Plus first time a player tests positive after a game the whole idea is in disarray.
Don't see this being a solution unfortunately.

Players are all over the world and won't be rushing to climb on planes to earn money instead of sitting at home to be paid it.
Perhaps UEFA officials don't get their brown envelopes if the finals aren't televised.

Don’t think it’s fair on the clubs that host the ugly sisters missing out on the sold out away crowd that the clubs keep going on about

If it comes to this I want a huge bank of speakers all around the stadium linked to everybody's Alexa or whatever in their homes, so that when I scream 'WHAT THE FFFF WAS THAT MARCIANO !!!' at the telly it's heard all around the stadium. This is the future

"The Dutch Football Association “intends not to continue” the Eredivisie season after the national government extended a ban on major events until 1 September because of coronavirus." From BBC website, plus mentions Dutch PM would not support behind closed doors matches either during that time.
Think same has happened in Ireland also.

Holland has to be the closest league to call
Top 2 only separated by goal difference & third place only 6 behind.

Even things like celebrating a goal, the emotion takes over and sometimes its an out of body experience, the consequences are just too awful to imagine.
This is why i dont think fans will be allowed back until it is 100% safe, and thats a long way off.

I don’t think there will be any football until a vaccine is found.
There’s absolutely no way that players can play, even behind closed doors.
It can take between 2-5 days for any symptoms to show so how do you ensure every player is virus free?
You can’t. Which means they can’t start playing football until this can be guaranteed.

I think it's wishful thinking (understandable) to think that football will be played in Scotland at the moment.

We are considering a return to "closed-doors" games here in Germany. A major issue however - and I fail to see how it isn't the same in the UK - is the clear need for testing of players, squads, playing staff, coaching staff, and even media staff and so on who would be involved in any games being played and broadcast. One estimation here for the Bundesliga I, II & III as issued by the DFL (source: https://gfx.sueddeutsche.de/pdf/Medi...t_Training.pdf) is that players (and all the others involved) would need to be tested - this would involve testing before the team restarts training as a team, testing prior to games on a weekly basis (or 2 tests if midweek games are involved) - we have generally 9 games left to play over here (Germany) so that entails at least ten tests per player, coach. etc ... we then end up with a overall amount of roughly 20,000 tests required! This figure will be different in the UK ...
We have to look after the health and safety of everyone involved in the game and this includes the above-mentioned.
So, the question then arises why should one sector of the community be given special preference and be tested on a regular basis, using up valuable time and testing resources? Wouldn't such tests be better made with hospital staff, carers etc? The situation with testing is quite poor in the UK as far as I can see from here - on what basis are games supposed to start up again UK wide? What about the players and their health? Have any of the UK football authorities drawn up a similar concept?
I can't see how football can be back up and running any time soon ...

More than the virus? All of your post rests on the predictability of the behavior of this virus which we don't have. I agree re the huge economic problems we would/will incur but we need people to be there to rebuild that economy. This could all blow over in a few months and it is right to prepare for such an eventuality in an ongoing manner but you have to balance the trauma of lockdown against the risks of underestimating the consequences of relaxing restrictions too early.
I am usually a glass half full geezer but most of the medical professionals are far from confident of where this is going and I look to them more than any FAs or politicians.

I am very sceptical that the UK Government and certainly the Scottish Government would view playing matches behind closed doors as a step which would not pose a risk to the NHS. I think that they are all too aware of very tribal nature of scottish football and televising the games could result in carnage and create a greater risk of a second wave assuming things have calmed down by August.
It's just an opinion but I'll be very surprised there is a ball kicked this year in Scotland.
