ropy Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The SPFL should give Hibs the option to play this or not. If they have concerns they should not be made to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 8 minutes ago, Day of the Lords said: Sky News there saying it *might* be an elite sport exemption, confirming. Not really been following this whole thing, but am I right in thinking that Celtic got a game moved for this pish in the first place, now Hibs are going to have it shifted again? If so that's fucking nonsense. Well technically Sky chose to move the game to Monday night and obviously Celtic had no way to influence that completely independent decision after Hibs objected to the initial request to move the game to monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The Dubai rules have only just kicked in (Tomrrow morning I think). The elite sport thing and this Dubai travel ban are not the same area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic have taken a really, really, really dumb and unnecessary risk, they should therefore pay. Cancel the game and award Hibs the 3 points. No way should we accept putting our players in harms way due to their complete negligence. No way should we accept a postponement either. "The 10" is not as important as people's lives, not that your average green Weegie thicko would ever grasp that. The 10 isn't even relevant. The Celtic board's absolute tinpot mentality saw to that when they appointed Lennon If Celtic are able to field a team of registered players, then they should have to fulfil the fixture or lose the 3 points. It doesn't matter if these players are perma-bench warmers or youths. Tough shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hibs really should be allowed to refuse to play this game. There are huge question marks over Celtic's "COVID security" here. It's happened in rugby recently where teams clearly were not following the rules, the opposition being forced to play, then finding themselves riddled with it a week later. I suppose the problem is, if Hibs do refuse to play the game it's a get out for the SPFL, who can then go and punish Hibs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 James Matthews @jamesmatthewsky Scottish Govt spokesperson: No decision yet on whether Celtic in clear under ‘elite sports’ qualification. Celtic being spoken to by officials from Scot Govt & NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. Info will be fed back to Ministers who will make decision-possibly lunchtime tmrw @SkyNews 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Seems to be a bit of confusion on whether Celtic are in the clear or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the league decides the game will go ahead despite the rules. We as a club should tell them to fucking ram it without lube. Or turn up at the previously arranged kick of time and win just like Estonia in 96. What? That game had to be played in a neutral venue (Monaco) and it was a terrible 0-0 result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 One thing that MUST happen after all this is the SFA / SPFL need to come out straight away and announce an end to this utter farce of enabling the cheeks to arbitrarily seek to postpone matches just so they can piss off on an overseas jolly. Let them go but no more facilitating it. Games need to be played up to the clubs to decide who they field but field a team they must. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'm an F1 fan and most countries forced the teams to isolate in line with local restrictions. This however is of course Scottish football and then without being political you have Nicola's gaffes regarding Alex and then the whole restaurant thing too. She will be keen to make an example of this i'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Dubai has (as of now) been defined as a high risk area. Anyone coming from Dubai as of tomorrow morning must isolate for 10 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
