    Final say will be with the arseholes at Sky.

    Are EPL games being postponed? Are they making crowd sacrifices?
    Answer is no for now...which may sway their decision to force these fixtures through.

    Again, where is the data?

    People should be asking them how many who attended the game have now got covid (spoiler alert - it's too early to tell yet)? When we do know who has caught covid, where were they located in the stadium? Are there any patterns to where they were sitting and moving through the ground to those who also caught it?

    If I was someone who had some sort of responsibility at an organisation in some capacity, I'd probably be asking these questions publicly and demanding answers and the data to become public. I may even start finding the data myself to show evidence that football stadiums isn't to blame for the spread of covid, and if it does, I have a hunch that it's miniscule. You're probably safer in the football ground than you are at Asda. We'll never know though as the data isn't being collected because no one cares. Everyone just wants to be seen as doing something.

    Does anyone want to watch empty grounds on the TV? I would probably watch Hibs v Aberdeen and the Edinburgh Derby. I won't be with no crowd. * boring.

    The Huns are against bringing the break forward as they are hoping some of our players catch Covid playing against St Mirren. They are in the hope that our squad gets decimated the same way St Mirren and Dundee Utd squads have, giving them a chance to beat us on the2nd. A rancid club that have frequently used this pandemic to their own advantage.

    I'm happy for us to miss the huns game on January 2. Gives time for Jota to recover and to bring in our new Japanese bhoys and settle them. Giakoumakis and Forrest would also be back, and perhaps even Jullian.

    I find it mental that people want to play the huns on January 2. More then happy for a postponement.

    Bollocks. This is a public health measure aimed at saving lives. If you live in a society you have benefits and in return you have responsibilities like keeping other people safe. Nothing like racist discrimination.
    Those saying they're finished with the SNP are talking pish too. This would happen under any party. It's happening all over Europe. It's frustrating but talking * about it doesn't help.

    Er.. Aye. Last week 60% of the games were and plenty more before that. The vast majority of Celtic fans actually seem in favour of postponing games so not really sure what point you are trying to make here !?

    Tongue in cheek but we were planning on going abroad, that’ll be kicked into touch now.

    Apparently most of all the other clubs agree that the winter break should be brought forward.

    Hun fans going mental and saying that it's only because other boards are scared of us :56:.

    Are they really THAT thick? Selfish *.

    Literally none of us wants this game to go ahead as scheduled now. Some of us are acknowledging the futility of hoping for the break to be brought forward, as generally in this country what the huns want the huns get

    Fs lol I thought that would be the last thing we would be doing this break! Right enough if Omicron didn’t appear then I wouldn’t have seen a problem with it.

    I was playing COD online with a couple of pals last night. Both huns. Both of them couldn't even agree on it. 1 of them was saying that the winter break should be brought forward and all games should be rescheduled (he's a season ticket holder and goes to pretty much all away games) and the other was saying the games need to be played(guess what? Barely been to a game in his life)... It's certainly not all huns that are against it but I would definitely say it's the vast majority of it.

    I said to the lad who wants games to continue, let's be fair and say we bring the winter break forward, we also wait to play the derby until after your players are back from AFCON duty. Would you be ok about it then? His answer was genuinely "Nah because you'll have your injured players back".... then in the same sentence says "your scared to play us without your fans there".... that's what you're up against man. They don't even see the irony in what they're saying.

    I think it would benefit us health/covid wise to bring forward the winter break but also will help us rest injured players hopefully back to fitness and get new signings in the door and up to speed. Win win to get it brought forward I think
