Celtic’s Dubai Trip - player covid positive ( merged )

If any of Hibs players end up with Covid after this Celtic should be fined heavily & possibly they should have the result overturned to a 3-0 because technically if you think about it they’ve fielded a player who shouldn’t be playing. I’d also ban Duffy, Brown, Lennon & any others pictured breaking protocols. Don’t want to help Hibs out with some extra points but this can’t be ignored, absolutely outrageous from the SFA/SPFL/JRG to force Hibs to play that game and their incompetence could be the catalyst to the season getting called off by MSPs.

 

The cynic in me suggests that Celtic fielded Duffy deliberately to goad the SG into taking action and "RED CARDING" Scottish football for a short period of time or closing it down indefinitely.

This will give Celtic and their Cabal all they need to null and void the league therefore protecting their "9 IAR" and aspirations of the 10 IAR which their good ship "Blameless" has now sailed over the edge of their flat earth.

So from Ewan's breakdown of the JRG expectations if you go for an 'elite' sport training camp, you can:-

 

Train and eat together and then pretty much need to stay in your hotel room on your own.

 

All these fillers like the gym, playing darts, pool, games, watching games together, let alone pop down pub can't happen.

 

Why eould anyone want to go on one?

 

To add a semi-relevant comparison, quarantine for competitors for the Australian Open tennis starts here this Thursday. Given our Covid-free status here in Victoria (bar one recent outbreak thanks to our friends in NSW) the quarantine rules involve (a) all players being treated like they have Covid every day for 14 days so daily tests are carried out, (b) for a period of 5 hours, staggered throughout the day, the players and staff in a bubble can train together. If one tests positive, the whole bubble is moved to the hot hotel and training stops for that bubble. Otherwise, they are in their individual rooms at all times.

 

By comparison, Septic go on a jolly boys outing! Elite athletes

Ally McCoist getting stuck into celtic and the sfa in the daily ranker - 

 

Ally McCoist - 'It's carnage

Ally McCoist was taking no prisoners, as he also slammed the SFA for giving the trip the green light in the first place.

"Honest to God, it's carnage. It's chaos. Absolute chaos. Celtic are all over the place, 13 players, three coaches staff self-isolating.

"Nicola Sturgeon is having a go at them saying it's not right. Ian Maxwell from the SFA came out and for some reason tried to defend it, which was horrendous to listen to.

"The whole thing is carnage. They've completely and utterly shot themselves in the foot by going ahead with this trip. I don't know for the life of me who thought it would be a good idea at this time."

"I thought the SFA let themselves down as well yesterday.

• Ally McCoist in brutal Celtic blast as dumbfounded Rangers icon has 'horrendous' Ian Maxwell in his cross hairs

"People can't visit families. grandparents haven't seen their grandchildren for a long, long time and someone thinks it's a good idea to go?

"I don't know what the SFA are going to do, the SFA have come out and said there's no case to answer, they didn't do anything wrong.

"But earlier on in the season they've banned Aberdeen players for doing the same thing. They've banned St Mirren or Kilmarnock players for sitting next to each other on the bus? The double standards. It's just a shambles to tell you the truth."

 

Ian Maxwell should hang his head in shame. Absolutely embarrassing trying to defend that yesterday. So, so stupid.

I really don't care how all of this plays out, as long as it doesn't impact on Hearts.

 

Watching the others all turning on each other is wonderful viewing from the vantage point of the moral high ground.

I get that I really do. 

 

But unless someone, somewhere starts standing up to this obvious corruption within the "ruling" bodies and their determination to apply rules differently to Celtic than all the other clubs then situations such as this will only get worse. God knows we suffered to get them their 9 in a row and look what has happened since. The SPFL/SFA are to Celtic what the GOP is to Trump.

 

All clubs had the opportunity to vote for an independent enquiry investigating the SPFL and paid for by Rangers and failed to grasp that opportunity, so there is some satisfaction in seeing clubs, as detailed in Ewan Murray's piece, suffering punishment when Celtic get off Scot free. But first and foremost it was an opportunity to flush out the corruption and it is unforgivable that the majority of clubs failed to take it.

 

My fear is that a growing sense of frustration at the obvious bias and the failure to address it will eventually drive supporters away from the game.

The problem is that most of the clubs are part of it.

 

What do you think the vote would be if Celtic got Doncaster call for the season to be annulled in the near future?

 

Only those clubs at the top of their divisions would vote against, with very few exceptions.

[sac]

Every member club(except the mhanks of course), should be submitting their vote of no confidence in the SPFL asap, and put an end to this shitshow.

Based on Ewen Murray’s article alone, which was as good a piece of forensic journalism than any forensic pish that Deloitte could only dream of, there is no escape for Timmy or Doncaster et al. Unfit for purpose.

FCFC, FTSPFL, FTSFA.

 

[James1874f]

I just can’t see how the top leagues can continue past the next week or two, if the SPFL already had a yellow card from the government WTF do they need to do to get a red?

That depends on the financial consequences of null and void, which Doncaster specifically rules out as an option last season as the consequences would have been damaging and fatal in the case of some clubs. They based their whole case on this at court and in the Arbitration hearing.
 

Null and void is not an option now, just as it wasn’t last season. Nothing is different other than the amount of games played. 
 

There is no reason at this stage to even consider stopping football. What does need to stop is abuses of the protocols and Celtic need to be disciplined for breaches. If that doesn’t happen then the SG have their finger on the trigger.

And Hibs were told of the change after it had been made, without any prior agreement. Imagine that happening the other way round.

But Hibs, and many other clubs, spurned the chance of a review of the governance of Scottish football, so as to gain a sporting advantage, so they will just have to take their medicine too.

The whole situation has just confirmed that I am correct in my absolute, vehement hatred toward Celtic Football Club.  It is just on a different plane of existence compared to Hibs and Rangers.

 

Every single thing they do is correct or admirable.  They have never ever made a mistake, or admit to their guilt even when it is painfully clear to everyone.  They are the model of society and everyone should jump to meet their standards.  

 

We have been in the middle of, and everyone has directly been impacted by, a pandemic since at least March 2020.  In that time, we've had national and regional lockdowns, people losing their jobs and businesses closing, people not being able to see their families or friends, and tens of thousands of people dying, often on their own without any visitors allowed whilst hooked up to machines to breathe for them, due to this disease which is absolutely decimating society and is continuing to mutate and spread around the World.  

 

And Celtic FC jet off on holiday to Dubai to drink beers and relax by the swimming pool, after they have run around chasing a ball, training in the sun for an hour a day.  Openly doing something that we would all love to be doing right now?  And now they claim they have done nothing wrong, without the slightest hint of acknowledging that they are completely out of touch with reality, because for years they have gotten away with making the rules?  Even when the evidence is clear, and they have broken just about every protocol that everyone else is expected to follow? 

 

Even their own fans are calling them out for their behaviour, which given their usual track record of gleefully winding up every other club about the things they are obviously getting away with, is a sure sign that they have really ****ed things up this time.

 

Celtic FC have done some despicable things in their history, but this threatens to be up there with the worst just because of their sheer arrogance about everything.  "We have investigated ourselves and found that we have done nothing wrong.  Oh, and we were told we could go, so get it up all of you."  Anyone with half a brain cell would realise that travelling a 7000+ mile round trip in the middle of a pandemic, when even their own supporters aren't legally allowed to travel outside of their own Council Region, is in bad taste.  But they are Celtic Football Club, the thoughts of mere mortals don't concern them.

 

They have ideas far above their station, and have it in their heads that they are absolutely invulnerable and above not just the Scottish Football Association's rules and regulations, but the Scottish Government's as well.  It's time someone took these absolute reprobates down and makes them account for their lies, greed, corruption and crimes.  It's time someone finally took them to task over this, because this time they weren't clever enough to cover up the evidence, have time and time again given verbal and written statements that contradict not only the facts, but their previous statements, and this time it's been plastered all over the internet for everyone to see.

 

Scottish Football has created a monster by letting these arseholes get away with everything they have done for years, decades even.

 

I hope the fall from grace is incredibly painful, and replayed over and over forever.  I hope they never get back up, but you just know that they will, and this will become a footnote in the list of deplorable acts that emit from the East End of Glasgow.

like you said they openly disregarded any rules with no accountability 

surly needs to be a call now for an Independent investigation into the governance of Scottish football

do you know is the Scottish Government can make such a demand 

 

Spot on. But who’s going to instruct it to happen. 
Bonner called them the “leaders” of Scottish clubs last night, not entirely sure what he meant there.

Virtually their whole squad both seasons in other words would have got winners medals Dear oh dear Mikey. 
 

Lewis Stevenson has quite possibly LOST more cup finals than anyone else. That might be worth exploring lol

Indeed, I tried to edit that. 
Him and Hanlon must share that dubious record.
They’re both extremely limited players with one cap each for Scotland. Sounds familiar.

Yes.  I think I am correct in saying the bottom three in the Premier League, when the season first stopped, was different to the three at the end of the season. 

I can't quite remember if it was all three but certainly, across all leagues that were stopped and restarted there were clubs who escaped.

Clubs have had at least two recent chances to push that forward but didn’t take them. 
 

When you have two huge money generating clubs in an ocean of shite it’s very difficult to get a quorum for change that would disadvantage them.

 

A breakaway led by a solid consortium of the other big clubs is the only thing I can see working.

They have ideas far above their station, and have it in their heads that they are absolutely invulnerable and above not just the Scottish Football Association's rules and regulations, but the Scottish Government's as well.  It's time someone took these absolute reprobates down and makes them account for their lies, greed, corruption and crimes.  It's time someone finally took them to task over this, because this time they weren't clever enough to cover up the evidence, have time and time again given verbal and written statements that contradict not only the facts, but their previous statements, and this time it's been plastered all over the internet for everyone to see.

 

 

 

Cracking post. This bit, though: if it hadn't been for the SG stepping in to condemn their actions then it would have been swept under the carpet as per.

 

I am no fan of Sturgeon's politics but she is well aware of the cancerous effect football has on certain elements of Scottish society and she is more than happy to call it out when necessary. What she isn't going to do is start applying sanctions when 'football rules' are broken because governments usually do not interfere until the actions become criminal.
