David Black Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It's about time some journo investigated the financial state of Celtic. Getting knocked out of Europe cost in the region of £30+ million, an enormous wage bill, no fans in the stadium and potentially the court case. Hoping I'm wrong of course as we wouldn't like to see them ****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think it's accepted by all covid will spread, if everyone followed the rules, the games seem to be getting prosptponed, but if there are breaches or poor practice identified - forced to play or forfeit. Hard to prove tho, unless you go abroad and have pints poolside, I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, may not be the worst thing to happen. Think about it, since the summer the spfl/celtic have single handedly pissed off almost everyone in some capacity. Initially you had the demotions. Now you’ve got lower leagues cancelled, games changed (Hubs), double standards when it comes to COVID punishments - about the only club they’ve (spfl/celtic) have not pissed off are Rangers. If the league is called ‘void’, it would be the final nail in the coffin. No prize money, no European places and no title for Rangers. No promotions or relegations... the fallout would be catastrophic. The spfl would die. So, every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe it’s what the game requires here in Scotland? It certainly needs a governing transplant. FTSFA FTSPFL FTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Given championship clubs are now going to be subject to regular testing I would imagine in the first week or two there will be more cases identified As we have seen outside the elite status the more you test the more you find Players and staff will then get a reminder that they are not immune to catching this virus and hopefully tighten up their own procedures as well as social interactions but as some have said part time players also are on some of the clubs books and it may be they have to be out and about more than the average full time player. PS as they did and do in England I hope testing is kept for clubs in the cup who are playing against sides who test on a regular basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for in here - how do we see other clubs voting if it was to go down this route, same as before, clubs away from the bottom or the top voting for it? Or will they have found a moral compass.. Doncaster was vehemently against null and void last season, giving a whole raft of reasons it wasn't on the table at all: "UEFA have made it clear that clubs have to be put forward for Europe on sporting merit. If you voiding a league it’s quite hard to see how teams can be put forward on sporting merit. We feel deciding a league on a points per game basis is sporting merit. There are all sorts of other factors. If it’s voided you would find a number of clubs and the league would face highly-damaging claims for a season that never happened. It could have led potentially to claims being made by partners of the league and of clubs themselves." What's changed? Hmmm.... Even if he has the brass neck to now back it, he'll have some very big questions to answer as to what has changed from last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing. Spent £250,000 on a meaningless jolly that resulted in covid case(s) and yet furlough their under 18’s ? That in itself sums them up. they are vile. A shite apology from the SPFL headmaster which was full of ‘we are the victims’. I can’t actually put into words how much I despise them. Their history is a disgrace, their fans are a disgrace (how many UEFA fines ?).

Captain Sausage Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Null and void would surely bring the house of cards toppling down. The fact that no plan was put in place, after what happened last year, is an absolute disgrace. Doncaster should be getting an absolute grilling by the media as to why: - there was no clear guidance on what circumstances would allow a postponement vs a forfeited game - no guidance on how to manage further lockdowns - no guidance on how leagues would end if football stopped prematurely Its a farce.
