Regardless of the reasons for it, it will cost them thousands of votes in next year's election I think. Correct.

I wouldn't know him if I tripped over him but I'm sure some people would recognise him. Is he so stupid that he didn't see the fallout from what happened in Aberdeen. How many other players are now shitting themselves and trying to hide their idiotic behaviour. It's worse with players from Celtic and Sevco as cretinous creeps from the opposing side are absolutely desperate for a player to do something wrong so that they can sprint online to tell everyone. 54 minutes ago, Jinky67 said: Nicola Sturgeons live press conference she says she doesn’t expect to see either teams play, Jason Leitch backed this up suggesting he has already spoken to the SPL and there has to be implications to protect public health If he has a time machine then he's using it poorly. There are so many more things I'd do with such a machine than speak to an obsolete footballing authority. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think this will happen but what a monumental f**k up by Bolingoli, Lennon and the player liaison officer. Given the strongly worded statement issued by the club expect heads to roll over this. Edited August 11, 2020 by Grangemouth Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 New rules for these qualifiers, where if a game can not be played after the draw, the country imposing the rules will be forfeited.Yeah, wishful thinking on your part there I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I can't imagine it happening, but the rules are pretty clear on the UEFA site. They never mentioned next week. I'm more concerned about the County Killie game being off though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marly Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'm starting to wonder that too. Suppose from the SPFL's point of view, it's easy enough to just cancel the split and that'll buy you 5 extra matchdays and get rid of a scheduling headache. Won't be popular but it makes sense if something needs to be done.We won't get anywhere near the split at this rate. 2 rounds of games, 2 serious breaches of Covid protocol. No way the selfish twats who call themselves professional footballers in this country are suddenly going to start doing the right thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is extremely unlikely though in my opinion. There is no positive cases at Celtic why would any game be called off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola Sturgeon said below but there’s no confirmation that any games are postponed yet. The first minister goes on to say "as minimum you should not be expecting to see Aberdeen or Celtic play over the course of the coming week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've no idea what constitutes a breach of these outside of the obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic games for the next two weeks will be called off, according to Sturgeon. It’s entirely Celtic and Aberdeen’s fault here. Sturgeon is obliged to look at the bigger picture, and if it means pissing off a bunch of non voting Celtic fans, so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
