What club gave us sporting integrity again back in 2008 ? I like how you avoid answering the question Talk about a false equivalence. You really must be clutching at straws at use an incident that happened almost 15 years ago to justify possible actions today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve regularly seen posts on here decrying refereeing biases featuring offside decisions made in the 1990’s. It happens from both sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a completely different stage of the pandemic now to what we were then since then we have actually completed a full season behind closed doors during various and based on stats so far more threatening waves of the pandemic . The idea isn’t as alien and obscure as it was back then . but my question asked earlier . When do Celtic want the old firm game rearranged to ? If it gets moved to the end of January but grounds are still closed will Celtic just get on with the matter and say no more ? Because I don’t I think the speel at the point will turn to “showpiece game , needs a crowd etc etc “ Edited December 22, 2021 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They regularly used times when Rangers were not in the league to postpone actual league games so they could go away and play "lucrative" friendlies abroad. It's all about money - I've no idea why everyone doesn't just come out and admit that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bringing a winter break early gives us a chance to get crowds back then why not take it? If it becomes inevitable that full crowds won’t be viable after the winter break then we just get on with it, get the games rescheduled for as soon as they can and we get it done crowd or not. I don’t think anyone wants to see a season kick on until June. I would have been at the game on the 2nd so obviously unhappy that it’s unlikely I’ll get the chance with only 500 allowed and even then f**k being in a crowd of only 500. From a selfish perspective I want to be there and experience it again as it’s been 2 years since the last time I could, hopefully a better result this time though Edited December 22, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Celtic would not give two flying fucks about the rest of the clubs needs for an early winter break I think you are probably correct in this assumption but Rangers opposing an early shut down because it suits them to have two tough away games with no fans is equally as self serving. There needs to be a lot of discussion about this and whataboutery is not going to solve anything. Shifting the Winter Break may not be the solution if fans are locked out for longer, but in the short term, it seems like the most sensible thing to do to minimise the losses sustained by clubs, and even then it will still see many take a huge hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Obvious solution is to just end the league campaign right now and relegate St.Johnstone. I don't care whether or not Ross County have to play a playoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chonky Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Celtic have a real chance of progressing a few rounds in Europe, rangers, less so. If Celtic want games postponed they are the club at most risk of struggling to fulfil fixtures. I am amazed (not really) that the Spfl have not been planning for this contingency for weeks as we all knew it was coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye sad reality is the government have left football out to dry again any decision will be sky and sky alone’s I think . They will see the viewing figures go up now with a potential extra 20,000 eyes for the Rangers v Aberdeen Pittodrie fixture and extra 60,000 for the Parkhead game on the 2nd. not sure if the govemerment have also screwed clubs by allowing 500 in as technically it isn’t BCD . either way it’s the exact type of mess that the SPFL have a habit of making into a circus. So the next few days should be interesting if nothing else. Edited December 22, 2021 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Surely every club and the SPFL would have realised that this might happen and would have drawn up contingency plans. If not they certainly should have. Any club who had not anticipated the possibility of something like this is not doing their job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
