Scottish FA sets Thursday deadline.

Question

Scottish FA sets Thursday deadline. Why did Scottish FA set Thursday deadline? Can someone tell me the reason?

Answer 1

The Scottish FA has set a Thursday deadline to avert a refereeing strike, before they implement a contingency plan that involves parachuting officials in from other countries. Referees have voted to withdraw labour amid concerns at abuse levels and what they perceive as the unfair questioning of their integrity. Talks were held between referees' representatives and the SFA tonight in an attempt by the governing body to avoid the strike, which would put matches at risk of postponement.
