codfish Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 It’s in our best interest to just not field a team and take the 3-0 forefeit. Absolutely farcical decision.There’s no way that forfeit wouldn’t be accompanied by a fine and/or points deduction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambieBud Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I see our paranoid Glasgow opposition are calling for an early winter break. Funny that when the bigot fest is due in a fortnight. Coincidence I’m sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 We clearly don't meet the agreed criteria for a Covid postponement as it stands. 13 players fit 1 of which must be a keeper and of that 13 there must be ten 18 or older. Clearly we currently meet the minimum requirements to play while in the case of the previously postponed games they didn't. This isn't an interpretation by the SPFL , it isn't subjective, the clubs all agreed these rules at the start of the season. It seemed fairly obvious after our earlier press release that said we were in an ongoing dialogue that we didn't meet the pre agreed threshold for the game to be postponed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know perfectly well that you and your Ibrox based business partners are hand in glove when it comes to money. Celtic are not remotely interested in the good of Scottish football. They are interested in losing the advantage of 60000 home fans against them. If the game was at Ibrox, The New Rangers would be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we said to them, "I know we meet the minimum requirements, but can we have the game postponed?". I predict by tomorrow morning we'll either have more positive tests or track and traced players. Match postponed and those in charge looking like tits yet again.

Absolutely farcical decision. This is how I would play this farcical situation. SPFL are a joke. Our goal difference could be shot by the end of the week. The club need to take a stance and not play. We are putting players healths at risk. If the shoe was on the other foot there is no way either old firm team would be made to play this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic had a pretty poor set of financials and playing games with a 500 limit effectively costs more than if you played behind closed doors. Every single decision made by every club is in their own self interests but we have a ready made circuit breaker in place due to start in a couple of weeks so it makes sense to act on it now as it serves most clubs best interests and the fans. Like you I pay for my season ticket and I want to be in attendance for a massive game that I’ve already paid for, if it doesn’t work then we are fucked however we will be more fucked if we do nothing and just wait and see what happens It’s not as if bringing the winter break forward doesn’t suit St Mirren does it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Celtic. 9 Championships on the bounce and 9 years Champions League money. Virtually unopposed in Scotland. Hoovering up 10’s of millions in transfer fees and TV money. Then one year of poor financial results. The break does suit St Mirren, you’re right, given our injury situation, but whether it happens today or in a fortnight will make no difference, given who we are due to play. I can’t imagine a situation where the Glasgow Derby would go ahead in these circumstances, can you?

It's straightforward we either meet the criteria or we don't. Every club signed up to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic and 9 other clubs (including yours) asking for the winter break to be implemented to avoid the crowd restrictions or the the fact the SPFL have binned your request to postpone tomorrows game which really has f**k all to do with Celtic? Because just now your acting a bit like the angry auld jakey flinging punches at everyone and anyone as he’s raging at the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want the winter break brought forward fo Covid reasons, but want to play tomorrow. How do you think fans of your twinned club would feel though if you got to play Saints 3rd string, won 10-0, and then they got held to a draw by our full strength team in mid Feb? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I said earlier in the thread not postponing tomorrows game today is a waste of everyone’s time due to the high likelihood of more positive tests 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
