The Dubai Select XI's U23s vs Hibernian


Recommended Posts

Football in Scotland in a nutshell:
 
A league match is put back a couple of days so Celtic can take their players on a sunshine break in the middle of the season. In the middle of a global pandemic, whilst most of the country is being encouraged to only travel if it is essential.
Celtic break protocols whilst away, a player unfortunately catches the virus, and 13 are forced to self-isolate amidst a lot of recriminations from politicians and members of the public who have no interest in football whose lives have been turned on their heads the past year.
With rapidly rising cases in Dubai, Hibs make the reasonable request to the governing body that the match is put back a couple of days, to ensure no positive cases emerge.  Turned down.
Hibs make the reasonable request to the governing body that the Celtic's squad are tested on the day of the match, to safeguard the health of their (Hibs) own staff.
This request is also turned down, as we don't want to inconvenience Celtic. Instead, if some Hibs players do catch it then f**k it we'll just postpone a national cup semi final in 12 days, as it doesn't involve either half of the old firm so we don't really give a f**k about it anyway.
 
Is that about right?
No, that's completely wrong.

I’m always wary of someone who says something is wrong without explaining why it’s wrong!

Could you do me a wee favour and spell it out for me then as the above seems about right.  Use big words if it helps.

That team should still beat Hibs, although I have no idea who Harper is.

Disagree concerning the circumstances, good few professional  debuts and lack of match fitness etc. f**k knows how we are still at evens.
