Monkey Tennis Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I hadn't realised Thistle were sitting 5th. That just makes their entitled bleating funnier. At what point does some sort of humility kick in, telling you it might be better to keep your mouth firmly shut? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 In the last few years, I've grudgingly admired Celtic's PR as they always seem to be in control of stuff (while Rangers have been going statement daft and always looking like they are reacting incredulously to events) - but they have gone off the rails completely this season. You could argue that he has a right of reply to all the criticism (and as Celtic captain, he's got a huge platform to do just that) - but having Brown weigh in on the subject of the photo that is emblematic of the whole pool and pints debacle is simply a huge mistake as it just allows it to be in the papers for the rest of the week. Throughout the pandemic, the only way that companies and individuals have successfully reacted to breaching rules/making mistakes is humble-pie and contrition - but I don't think Celtic are capable of that quite honestly. A properly done "We've fucked it here and we're sorry" could have taken a lot of the heat out of this but they've left it too late for that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason for that is that they had an air of professionalism about them under Rodgers (despite the parochial mindset of the board). He got results on the park that meant any bad PR for Celtic did could be largely ignored. Soon as things go downhill on the pitch with 'Lenny' at the helm (who's about the closest thing to unprofessional in the modern game) then this was an inevitable unravelling. Especially since Celtic still have that air of undignified infallibility about them. Edited January 12, 2021 by HibsFan 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo of bullying duo Brown and Lennon drinking beer and laughing at poolside when their families are at home during a global pandemic doesn’t actually require any words about the lack of professionalism at Celtic since BR left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Newbornbairn Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/01/12/from-arsenal-to-celtic-where-britains-elite-football-clubs-spent-the-winter-break/ Celtic have recently returned from a trip to Dubai, but where did Britain’s top clubs spend their time training? Elite football can take its toll on even the fittest of players. Wear and tear can affect performance over the course of a gruelling season, and so it’s no wonder clubs look forward to a winter break. It’s a chance to recharge the batteries, and to enjoy a bit of sunshine in the midst of a cold winter. From Arsenal to Tottenham Hotspur, here’s where Britain’s top clubs have been training this winter. ARSENAL Mikel Arteta’s men trained in London, because there’s a pandemic. CHELSEA Frank Lampard conquered Europe as a player, but his side remained in London due to the pandemic. LEICESTER Brendan Rodgers might be remembered by Celtic fans for a controversial departure, but he managed not to depart the country with his players and backroom staff at the height of a pandemic. MANCHESTER UNITED Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his men spent a few days in Marbella. Last year, before Britain was involved in a pandemic. MANCHESTER CITY If there wasn’t a pandemic going on, Pep Guardiola might have taken his team abroad. But there is, so he didn’t. LIVERPOOL In a football landscape dominated by media-trained professionals who allow little of their personality to emerge during interviews, Jurgen Klopp provides a refreshing contrast with his eccentricity. He’s not eccentric enough to fly an entire squad plus backroom staff out to the middle east during a pandemic though. RANGERS Steven Gerrard’s side are yet to lose a match in this season’s Scottish Premiership, and the decision to remain at home rather than flying out for a training camp during a pandemic proves they haven’t lost their minds either. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR Jose Mourinho’s side were the stars of an Amazon Prime documentary called ‘Tottenham Hotspur: All or Nothing’. Nothing is what was on Spurs’ winter break itinerary, as there is a pandemic going on. In other news, Celtic manager Neil Lennon, his assistant John Kennedy and 13 players are self-isolating after defender Christopher Jullien tested positive for Covid-19. The club travelled to Dubai for a winter training camp, a move which fans called “Sound, it’s not like there’s a pandemic going on” and was hailed by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon as “Exactly the sort of thing you should be doing during a pandemic lads”. Although one or two reservations have been raised, Celtic moved quickly to assure fans that the trip was definitely worth it because you get to sit on the sunbeds. 41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) SFA have tried damage limitation on it and failed miserably. Making rules up as the go along. Double standards. Another thing promised to Hibs is if they get any covid from Celtic last night they can postpone the semi final against St. Johnstone. Prime example of making things up as they go along and reactive decisions rather than setting consistent rules and sticking to them they just make adhoc decisions that suit that one situation at that one given time. Do the teams in the other semi final get the option if they get covid? Doubt it...
