Still cant understand how Boli had 4 days off. This obviously happened in the last 2 weeks, when were Celtic giving players that much time? Conspiracy theory time. The SPFL/SFA have been trying to say that it was the SG who postponed the game on Saturday so they could go to sky and say "it wasnae me but a big boy made me do it and ran away" so they are not penalised by SKY for breach of contract. Perhaps that 1 breach of contract is so severe that the SPFL/SFA (CELTIC) are now in such deep excrement that it is imperative to have the SG close the game down so as to protect them from destroying the SKY contract. So here you go BOLI has just done a really really bad thing (honest guv) and the SG see no option but to shut down football. SPFL/SFA "Phew that was close we nearly lost the contract and penalty clause that would bankrupt us". Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Boli was surely ineligible for Killie. It has to be a points deduction and fine minimum. Celtic of course advanced twice in Europe despite getting humped by Legia Warsaw and Sion due to those two teams fielding ineligible players. If this had happened a couple of weeks later in a European game Celtic would have been thrown out of Europe.

Basically jetted off for a few days in Spain, ignored quarantine and played against Kilmarnock yesterday. Let’s see the SPFL take a firm line here (I’m of course being sarcastic. Doncaster is at Costco buying some huge brushes and a couple of spare carpets) Doncaster probably asked him to bring him a tea towel, and 200 benson and hedges fags back for him, when he was droppin him off at the airport...

Plus the idea that no-one at Celtic knew where he was going is riseable. They're no doubt going to blame the change in quarantine rules for Spain-Scotland at end July on causing confusion and they'll say if they knew he was off to Spain they'd not have let him go... Since when do players go on secret 4 day foreign holidays in between matches? I can’t find anything one way or the other, one article says EPL clubs are unsure whether players will need to isolate for two weeks if they come back off holidays in Spain for example.

Hungry hippo Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Not sure it will meet the criteria to be classed as an ineligible player despite it being a breach of the government rules that the clubs have agreed to. Celtic deserve to be punished regardless but my opinion is that it won't be on the basis of him being ineligible given the definition of this is unlikely to cover this scenario.

If Mr. Smith went to Spain, then returned to work in his factory, he would have to isolste from his co-workers for 14 days. Mr. Bolingoli is an employee. Under the same Government restrictions as Mr. Smith. Bolingoli should have been at home isolating, had he told Celtic. Celtic then wouldn't have played him, as he was unavailable due to Covid-19 testing results and mandatory Government protocol. Bolingoli has held up his hands and admitted his error. Celtic are apparently seething at him. If Aberdeen turned around and played the 7 or 8 next match against Accies, despite them being isolated, do you think everyone would just say it's no big deal? I get what you're saying, mate. Really. But there seems a stone cold case, that this guy should've been sat at home. Instead he gets 5 minutes at the end of a game, where I'd seriously doubt Celtic would be stupid enough to field him, had they known what they do now. Not saying the SPFL will have the spine to call out Lawell/Celtic on this. But I don't think they're going to get the chance now. First questions tomorrow to Sturgeon, will be about this. You watch. He's ****ed Celtic and potentially Scottish football for weeks now. Don't disagree with any of that.

Guest Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This latest incident will be used by the SG to make a lot of noise and to make a show of strong leadership. Most likely it will be treated like a "strike two" for Scottish football. One more and you're out! Last chance saloon as it were. Celtic won't be punished for this and they will take a firm stance with their player to show the world they've dealt with the matter.

Bazzas right boot Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Neil Doncaster will be ripping of his face mask to reveal he's actually Mr bean. The voting system has been found out as being totally unfit for purpose in times of stress and when leadership and direction are needed. Even if the government does not shut things down now, what's the solution for another curtailed season, what is the solution if players continue to test positive across the teams, what's the solution if championship and below teams can't field a team, what happens if teams go into admin or liquidation and can't complete games. If games get postponed , what will sky do, they won't put up with it if it continues? All likely, if not already happened and still there is no solution to any of these if they happen again? A vote, fight like rats in a sack, **** over clubs again? Just make it up? Let clubs like Stirling albion save bus fares so the likes of us and lower league teams are done over. A rudderless ship bouncing of icebergs until it eventually hits a titanic type one and sinks. Doncaster is the captain of the ship, the ship is a tanker and he is a....
