On reflection I don’t think independence and/or Brexit helps or hinders what UEFA would approve. If the money and the will are there it can happen. I’m not sure decent English clubs would be interested because of the money already down there. Same goes for Spain Italy Germany and probably France. 2nd and 3rd tier countries like Belgium Norway Sweden Denmark Portugal and Scotland might be the way forward on this but I don’t see the drive and the will to push on with it at the moment. Not sure my liver and wallet could survive a European trip every fortnight 😂 Edited January 12, 2021 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confession and repentance (that word from the Greek meaning to turn around and go the other way) necessitates not just confession but changing away from the crap you've been practicing and it includes making reparations where necessary. Still means you get away with original transgression [middle english , middle french , latin] So my point stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 5 hours ago, Rudy T said: The only reason the Celtic fans are outraged is they can't blame anyone else for this and their own board are treating them the way they've treated everyone else in Scottish football for years; with complete contempt. Losing this league will see a power shift back to Rangers, Doncaster and co will remove the Celtic/Lawell boaby and pull on their Union Jack boxer shorts to lure the Rangers back into the hampden boudoir! Celtic fans will suddenly have a cause again as their club gets shafted by the hampden lunch club and Rangers rack up 3 or 4 titles in a row. Celtic fans I know are pissed off. Pissed of thier club went a holiday on their money while, many fans lose jobs etc. Can't believe they went ahead with the dubsia trip.

Footballfirst Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Celtic claimed that Jullien went on the trip so that he could continue to be treated by Celtic's medical staff. If he was indeed receiving treatment while he was away, then you would have expected the medical staff to be deemed as close contacts. We also know that Lennon and Kennedy were two out the three backroom staff who were identified as close contacts. Was the third person involved in Jullien's treatment? If not, then Celtic have further questions to answer about why Jullien was there in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone out with the SPFL board/CEO of the SFA, know that Celtic are at it and have been from day one. I just wish there was someone in the footballing authorities and the complicit mainstream media to have the cahoonies to call them out on this. That club should be getting punished more severely than any other club in Scotland, purely on the grounds they have committed more COVID 19 breaches than any other club.

This of course would have nothing at all to do with trying to blame the Scottish Government for all Scottish Footballs current woes. The SPL big guns will consist of a double barrel of arse cheeks and no more. This is pure deflection tactics by the SFA/SPFL/JRG due to their ineptitude in running their business. They are trying to get the footballing public, with the help of the SMSM, to believe that they are 'innocent" in all this and SG are "BAD".

The board I think. Its just been the usual mouthpieces like Lennon, brown, Kennedy, others that speak on behalf. Celtic Board - Present Ian Bankier Chairman ( Since 2011) Peter Lawwell, Chief Executive (since 2003) Chris McKay, Finance Director (Since 2016) THOMAS ALLISON - NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Sharon Brown, Independent Non-Executive Director ( since 2016) Dermot Desmond, Independent Non-Executive Director (since 1995) Brian Wilson, Independent Non-Executive Director (since 2005).

It’s the top two divisions which are the economic drivers of Scottish football while the majority of part-time teams are makeweights in an organisation that is bloated by minnows. Far too many clubs pass themselves off as professional part-time operations, there are obvious exceptions but none of them should complain at being asked to take a back seat for the time being as the national lockdown runs its course." ...problem is, when the governance of our game raise their pathetic heads above the parapet, it's not to show leadership by any standards, but to absolve their precious celtic of all blame of blatant entitlement and stupidity... and definitely NOT to come up with answers or ideas for the greater good of our game in Scotland. When idiots like dungacster is posted missing when leadership is required most, and the sfa/spfl are basically in hiding - everyman and his dog will come up with their own assumptions and 'conspiracies'.

Shanks Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 The most shocking thing about this for me is the league saying to hibs "oh don't worry if any of your players catch covid, we will reschedule your cup game so don't worry about it" That shows football in this country isn't taking the virus seriously and it's enough to get us shut down.

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 As usual, the SPFL have created a scenario where they can’t actually punish Celtic. They approved the trip. They’ve allowed this tinpot scenario where Celtic are free to postpone a game when they feel like it. They’ve got the head of the SFA backing Celtic to the hilt. It’s so blatant you can only conclude that the SPFL are happy to be seen as lickspittles in plain sight. They’re not even trying to hide their bias. Scottish football is a charade.
