The fact that someone faked tweets but couldn't spell is incredibly tinpot. I doubt they will be troubling the world of literature, or comedy.

Having a "winter shutdown" then cramming in umpteen matches including midweeks immediately after when it coincides with the Scottish Cup and Europe restarting.  Utterly, utterly pointless.

Max 6 Sat 3.00pm ko's before the split is a total disgrace !

Was it as bad as this last year or is it because we're trying to shoehorn in games before the Euros?

The main killer are the weekends lost to internationals - think that's 4 a year with a blanket Prem  no game policy - total nonsense.  Also the amount of home games the "diddies" have televised is getting ridiculous.

There must only be about 2 or 3 Premiership clubs with no players called up for internationals during the period. If those clubs desperately wanted to play in those weeks they could bring one of their midweek meetings forward.

This has no doubt been said before but for f**k sake it's pathetic

Rangers: "We refuse to work with the BBC"

Celtic: "We refuse to work with sky"

Banning journalists for speaking out or criticising them.

Absolute tinpot pathetic b*****ds. Folk outside Scotland must see it and cringe. No wonder we can't get a decent TV deal when the only team's those TV channels are interested in showing are fucking banned by those clubs. 

Folk say Hamilton's crowds are tinpot, nah being so far up your own arse that you're convinced every jurno or tv organisation is out to get you is next level.

The weekly Old Firm "Statement" is equally as Tinpot, depending on who has been morally wronged that weekend.

Pretty sure its a maximum of about 6 home games per team is it not? Once you have the derbies, flag day  and trophy day and a random other game its pretty even.

Rangers are refusing to work with the BBC because one of their reporters had the gall to accurately report the misbehaviour of their fans. Celtic are refusing to work with Sky because they were absolutely slated in a translation of an interview which turned out to entirely misleading. There is a massive difference.

As for folk outside Scotland seeing it and cringeing, Alex Ferguson refused to speak to the BBC for 7 years when he was Man United manager. This stuff is not new, nor is it restricted to Scotland.

I can only assume you don't know the reason why Celtic are currently refusing to speak with Sky? Any other club would probably do the same. It clearly wasn't just a misunderstanding.

There’s a surprise, a Celtic supporter backing up the party line.

I dont think anyone really thinks that. But clearly somebody within Sky has somehow thought they could get away blatantly lying about an Interview in another language and broadcast it on TV. You seriously don't think think there should be no repercussions from this?

Ive had a go at statements Celtic have made on here before, this however is totally different. 

[Dons_1988]

Have sky apologised? Celtic are within their rights to be pissed off until they do at the very least.

I think they have but think Celtic are probably wanting heads to roll tbh with an investigation. It clearly wasn't an accidental mistranslation.
