Back in the spring it was the phrase that Ibrox fans rallied around and lung onto.
Led in the media by intellectual giants like Tom English and Ale Rae, every other option was trashed as they waited on word that the 2019/20 season had been declared NULL AND VOID.
With Celtic 13 points clear at the top of the SPFL Premiership table with just eight matches left to be played it was the only way of stopping the second 9-in-a-row that they had dreaded.
As the weeks passed and leagues elsewhere such as in France and Belgium were called on Points Per Game the desperation for NULL AND VOID grew.
The three lower leagues in Scotland were called on PPG with Dundee United promoted to the top flight while interest suddenly grew over the fate of Partick Thistle and Stranraer.
An incredible media campaign was launched to prevent the Premiership being awarded on the same basis, every Saturday afternoon English banged the drum on Radio Scotland with no other opinion aired. Later in the year BBC Scotland ran a so-called Inside Story on how the season had played out for Hearts. Craig Levein joined the usual suspects as a pundit.
Finally, with prize money to be awarded and European places to be allocated the calls for NULL AND VOID were sunk. All clubs voted to decide the season on PPG. The same voices are now dreading that option with the season barely past the halfway stage.
Liam you want the league declared null and void, do we declare the Scottish cup final result null and void?

How many raging Tims will call @ClydeSSB demanding the league null and void?

Exactly. We made our case… No-one listened.
We don’t have any choice now – we simply live by the precedent set.
Tims on the other hand are demanding the precedent shifts, changing their opinion from “call it and award it” to “null and void it”.
Because they aren’t winning.

Sorry pal. Null and void. Already been decided. All trophies remain with reigning holders. 10 in a row and quintuple treble ?

By who??
A few folk on here?
Don’t think any club or person for clubs in Scotland asked for null and void.
Let’s face it mate the lost email excuse falls into two categories.
Those who know it’s bullshit and those trying to kid themselves it wasn’t bullshit.

@ClydeSSB switched on for the laughs…
Obviously you will squash any fans calling to discuss null and void. Thats the status quo. Right?— Hunter (@hunter_19851) January 4, 2021
Hahahaha you absolute fucking weapon. Bet you weren’t saying null and void last season you hypocritical wank

It’s funny how rangers now running away with the league the amount of Celtic fans that all of a sudden want a null and void season? How the tables have turned.

I honestly think i seen maybe 4 rangers fans in total talking about null and void last season. Every one else said play to a finish. Exceptional amount of tims creaming about null and void this season. https://t.co/85Spr7RXsJ

Definitely time for league to be called null and void. Our rivals from across the city where right to call for it last season – two wrongs don’t make a right ???????????
