The Moonster Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, The Master said: Just when you thought they could get more tone deaf. “We’re entitled to a pint together because we work hard all day”. Yup, that’ll really go down well in a country where all the pubs are closed. Aye, it really is hilariously out of touch. My girlfriend works for Celtic, she's been on furlough since last June. Stuck in her tiny flat, desperately trying to stave off depression for 6 months and having no human contact for that time other than me and a chat every now and then with her mum. She was over the moon when she heard the first team were being sent out on all expenses paid piss up to Dubai. "They deserve it, they work hard all day" she said... 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Saints say something about this and say it soon. Otherwise lets say at the start of next week Hibs have a few injures, why not just call it covid and get 10 days off then bring the players back for the date when ever they are ready to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that to the tax payers money through tracing etc or just to Celtic? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mental that folk still think you can just "call it covid" to get a match moved without having to provide any sort of supporting evidence. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Joking aside surely Celtic employ some PR people? At the moment, as soon as anyone at the club opens their mouth, it just becomes another disaster. Each time I see a statement; I think it cant get any worse and yet there pops up another to prove me wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or indeed the impact on others of the track and trace that would kick in. People need to think their conspiracy theories out better. On a separate note I see Grimsby Town have been hit with a suspended fine (why suspended!) for a trail of Covid breaches including group games of darts as part of team training. It really is remarkable. Edited January 12, 2021 by rainbowrising 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a PR person - but I've seen enough to know that "make an apology and then say absolutely f**k-all until the media are interested in something else" is pretty effective - Celtic have miscalculated badly and treated this like they would a standard "fitba" thing where they just brazen it out and hope all their supporters fall in behind them - which really isn't happening.

Clockwork Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Can't find a non-Sun link, but Broony's poured gasoline on the fire by defending the "sunbed" photo. ETA: https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/19004156.celtic-skipper-scott-brown-hits-back-criticism-dubai-poolside-picture-neil-lennon/A week of hard work and preparation for the remainder of the season becomes a bit of a waste, when half the first team squad have to go into isolation missing the next 2 league games. It’s hardly a means of competitive advantage on the park eh! Surely this was considered a possibility by the Club’s management? Maybe this season just isn’t as important to them as we’ve been led to believe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Grimsby Town given a suspended 5k fine for admitting Covid breaches that lead to 3 postponed games. Nah the SPFL weren't heavy handed with a 40k fine and two 3v0 forfeits for one less postponed game at all [emoji2955] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning you won’t actually have to pay anything unless you breach any further covid protocols within a defined period?

You're dead right, but the depressing reality is that such an approach would work a treat if Celtic had a decent lead in the League. On here, nearly all the Celtic fans have been making sensible noises. I honestly don't think that would be the case if they weren't struggling on the pitch. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also the first time I can think of, that other than lunatic loyal fans, current players and their PR (?) machine, I’ve not seen a single fan, pundit or ex player trying to make excuses for them. In fact a number of ex players have been vociferous on their criticism. That says it all. Maxwell did try to “justify” it to an extent , but walked it back quickly.

The only thing that brought any real attention to this was Crocker saying "well, it's off to Dubai for Celtic" when they were losing against Rangers in front of the cameras. Once that happened, the knives came out for this Dubai trip. Before that, very few if any Celtic fans cared all that much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
