I wonder if it will work like Pneumonia where its in your system but for most your immune system is strong enough to combat it before it affects you.

Pretty clear he is teeing up the PR here... For those who missed it Daryl Broadfoot, who has hardly been a known friend of Hearts praised Hearts fans for being reasonable and being more open to accepting relegation if leagues stopped. They then played some interviews with some fans who were very reasonable talking about people's health being importent though preferring to play games. They had earlier played the Neil Lennon press conference where he was adamant saying strongly that Celtic should be given the title. Broadfoot questioned that sort of attitude and mentioned Klopp's letter to fans which I guess most have seen where he talked about peoples' health being all that matters. You could tell Pat Bonner was absolutely raging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainy Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 The fact is they will absolutely not hand celtic the title due to not wanting to upset rangers. On that basis alone they will find a way round the fixture problem. If it wasnt mathematically possible they could but the fact that rangers can still mathematically catch them there is no danger they would allow celtic to ge crowned league winners. Its a tough one for all the league bodies around the world to solve and i dont know what the answer is if this lasts for another few months. The posponment of the euros to next year would give them a bit it leway to extend the season into the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 We need to see what Uefa come up with next week. Its a given that Euro 2020 will be postponed for a year to provide some scope for leagues to complete. However, imo there isn't a cat in hells chance of the CL and EL completing before the next one is due to start and the same with individual association leagues. Even within Scotland there is far too many unknowns if the league did see itself to a conclusion. 7 teams in Championship still in with a play off chance (note now how ridiculous it is to have 3 promotion and 1 one relegation play off places in a ten team league, not taking in to account 2 automatic places too) Unless there is a team who cannot be caught or cant catch up then no scope for champions or relegation and the season has to be nulled and voided. If so and Celtic win 20-21 season it becomes 9 in a row. However the big spanner is how Uefa determine European qualification for 20-21. If its league positions at say end May irrespective if fixture completion pressure would be on SPFL to determine Celtic champions and us relegated.

I prefer to temper official statements from govts with other views such as the patient on the BBC Scotland website.who outlined his swift recovery or those of leading German virologists who contradict Merkel's mad predictions of 53m infections there. They predict 45k to be nearer the final total if the maxinum 80% are going to be infected then why sanitise and hand wash? Everyone needs to keep calm and carry on pretty much as normal. Surely we’re way over the 45k figure worldwide already anyway? Some experts already reckon 5-10k have it / had it already in UK. Nobody will ever know the true figure.

Hearts_fan Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 23 hours ago, rubyruby said: Would be very unfair of Celtic to win the title because of the virus when our very own 1914-15 team lost out because they went to fight for their country. Spot on. Having opportunistically taken advantage of a war situation to finish first in the league in 1915, Celtic have now sought to claim another tainted (and as yet unmerited) title when others are more concerned about preserving life itself. It took Neil Lennon just two seconds to claim the title after the suspension was announced. They're a classless, self-serving football club that would leave Scottish football behind at the drop of a hat if they had the chance to line their own pockets in the English Premier League. I say give them the meaningless ****ing trophy, the one that they buy every year anyway. Clowns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Not anything new here but this imo is the best go to guy to understand VAR decisions, so I give him credibility on his views re where we are. He isnt offering the potential solution but drawing out the clear challenges. If we are relying on a Uefa lead, Id say we are heading towards cut off dates to align to next seasons European calendar. We are not getting up and running in time to conclude the season so Celtic will be Scotland reps in the UCL next year (but do Rangers get a place? Would they be happy for Celtic to be champions if they get a UCL place?) Uefa will give a steer on how their competitions will run next year and national associations will determine if champions winners are awarded. Uefa will not give a crap if these nations declare null, void, restructure or relegation. Imo Edited March 16, 2020 by DETTY29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing and I hope you and your Mrs gets sorted soon. As an aside, I think the media are creaming themselves over Covid-19. Beside themselves when they announce how many are infected or how many have been unfortunate to perish because of this virus. How about changing the narrative slightly to let folk know how many have actually kicked Coronavirus's ass? I heard around 60,000 Chinese have been released from hospital and allowed to go home after contracting and then beating the virus. I also heard hat the last Coronavirus hospital in China is now closed as they now have a handle on it and less folk are now contracting it. I had to dig for that good news story, wasn't in the ITN bulletin. Wonder why? Eventually, the Embassies succeeded in persuading Quang Ning's Peoples Committee to release us early. The deal negotiated with their Department of Foreign Affairs had a key element - all had to leave at the same time on a bus the authorities would organise. The bus would leave at 12:30 on 14/03/20 for flights out of Vietnam. The next part of our trip was to be Australia but neither us nor our Travel Agents could find a flight due to airline cancellations. We had found one that transited via Ho Chi Minh City but the Vietnamese authorities would not allow us to transit via another Vietnamese airport despite both Embassies efforts. This led to the situation that we had no choice but to leave for home instead with the others. Trailfinders managed to book a a flight that would get us home via Doha, Qatar. At 12:30 on 14/03/20 the bus didn’t leave. Instead we were “processed". A final temperature check was done. We were sprayed with chemicals again and quarantine certificates were prepared by the authorities ahead of our flight at 17:30. This took them till 13:15. We then read our certificates and some were wrong. In our case we discovered my wife's name had a spelling error and mine had someone else's date of birth! At 13:45 we got manually amended certificates back and the bus left. We got to the airport with an hour and 15 minutes to go until the flight took off. We just made the flight. As you can imagine it has been a really horrible experience. So glad to be home.
