I Celtic do win this by a cricket score, then they - and Saints closest rivals - get a benefit way beyond the winning or losing of 3 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Seems that way. It should honestly be postponed, or at the very worst, forfeited.Stop all this forfeit nonsense, that simply isn't an option open to us without being charged and then undoubtedly having points deducted on top of the 3V0 defeat. Clubs do not have an option to unilaterally forfeit a match !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re unable to fulfil a fixture, and it’s not rescheduled you forfeit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 If you’re unable to fulfil a fixture, and it’s not rescheduled you forfeit.But we can fulfil it, if we couldn't per the regs it would be postponed so no, we cannot forfeit and simply take a 3v0 defeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Wonder if Goodwin will stick with his rigid 3-5-2 or if this will force his hand to try a new formation. Also, does Erwin make it off the bench if available? Probably not. 1-0 Saints. Ange gets the Mowbray treatment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Bet still don't seem to have factored this in to the Rangers game on Boxing day - Celtic 1/10 tonight in Paisley and Rangers 1/7 at home on Sunday. 84/1 double Rangers -4 and Celtic to score 3+ goals, 9+ corners and 3 Saints bookings. Not quite free money, and obviously I'd rather see 2 Saints wins, but if we're having to put up with this crap, then may as well get some financial compensation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youngsters are turning out for us, we should try to support them. How pathetic would it look if the Main/West Stands were empty but the stands behind the goals were packed with Celtic fans? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohemian Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 St Mirren's clash with Celtic will go ahead despite major Covid issues at the Buddies. Several members of Jim Goodwin’s first team squad have been identified as close contacts of team-mates who have already returned positive test results. However, a bid to have the game postponed, alongside the Boxing Day clash against Rangers, was knocked back on Tuesday by the governing body. Under emergency SPFL rules games must go ahead if any stricken club still has enough players to fill out a squad of 13 outfield players and a goalkeeper. This morning's PCR test results did not produce results that passed the threshold and therefore the game has been given the green light. The games has been given the go ahead as Premiership clubs attempt to bring forward the winter break. The Scottish Government's decision to limit attendance within grounds at 500 has sparked crisis talks that could see the three-week interval brought forward as Omicron rips through the country. Wednesday's game in Paisley will be allowed a capacity crowd, however, with the new rules not coming in until Boxing Day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 This is not going to be pretty. I can't make it tonight, but hope the players don't take a pasting. Speaks volumes games across the country are being cancelled and we're being forced to play, but there you go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sellick to win both halves is Evens which is extraordinarily generous given the circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
