Celtic & Coronavirus and competitions!

Thought that was still going this old pass to paradise.

 

The pass still works

 

Sturgeon all but confirmed that the only thing stopping games BCD is a lack of Westminster funding.

 

I disagree. More likely to sell someone and we will have more people fit

 

Knowing our board and their backwards * ups, they will deem those who got to two games over those 4 as "loyal" fans and reward them with a ticket for the 2nd.

 

Canny see us making it to the winter break before a shutdown.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they close it down after the final.

 

Not against them bringing the winter break forward by a couple of weeks. Lets us get some players back.

 

Then a few more players in, Im all for it tbh.

 

Anybody think our game with St mirren will go ahead now

 

Yes

Torn between realising a break just now would likely be to our advantage and the selfishness of not wanting no football over Christmas and new year.

 

Call the season and settle it on xG. HWG10IAR

 

In light of the First Minister’s update today during which she expressed “profound concern” regarding the acceleration of the Omicron variant throughout society, the Joint Response Group has implemented enhanced protocols to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus within Scottish football.

From Monday, testing provision will be increased among cinch Premiership clubs until the scheduled winter break commencing January 3 and will be reviewed prior to the resumption of the fixture calendar in the New Year.

Clubs in the cinch Premiership will now be required to undertake daily testing for all playing and team staff as part of the enhanced protocols.

Further consultation has been scheduled early next week with the Scottish Women’s Premier League, cinch Championship, League 1 and 2, and Scottish Highland and Lowland Football Leagues. The outcome of those discussions will be communicated thereafter.

In addition, all clubs are advised to demonstrate enhanced vigilance with public health guidance, including physical distancing, wearing of face coverings while indoors, and to reiterate the importance of hand sanitising regularly.

The JRG has also been in touch with Scottish Government to offer football stadia for use as vaccine centres to help the collective effort to roll-out the vaccine booster programme.

We are grateful to the clubs for their collective endorsement of these enhanced measures and for the ongoing commitment to achieving full vaccination and booster vaccinations for their playing staff and team staff.

Rod Petrie, Joint Response Group Chair: “We need no reminding that we are entering another challenging period in the country’s ongoing battle to suppress and overcome COVID-19 and, in particular, its emerging Omicron variant.

“Scottish football is not immune to the impact of the pandemic and we must be extra vigilant during this especially busy period prior to the winter break. We remain in regular dialogue with Scottish Government and their public health and public policy officials and in order to reinforce protection, we have today increased our protocols proportionately with the challenges presented to us.

“We are thankful to our clubs for their commitment to implement them provisionally until the winter break and are happy to support the effort to overcome the virus through the vaccination and booster programmes and stringent adherence to protocols and public health guidance.”

Neil Doncaster, SPFL Chief Executive: “The First Minister has today again outlined the reality of the Omicron variant in Scotland and I am pleased with the rapid response of our cinch Premiership clubs in committing to enhanced protocols.

“We will continue to encourage compliance with the Scottish Government public health guidance and play our part in suppressing and eradicating the latest variant of this ongoing pandemic.”

 

Nicki Sturgeon can suck the * oot ma *!

 

A win on Sunday and an early shutdown on Monday would be ideal for us… the rest of December is busy enough never mind the game on 2nd January…

… we could come back not just with current players fit, but with new additions as well and be ready to go for the league.

Not great that we’d have no football over the period … but could be much better for our league prospects.

 

Exactly how I see it.

We got the win in Dingwall, but that was a team down to the bare bones.

From an entertainment perspective it would be *, but it would buy us some time.

Personally, think there’s little chance of postponement and more chance of behind closed doors football.

 

Possibly yes….. but with this variant being so rife… and Scotland a hotspot … they might go heavier.. just a slightly longer winter break. Plus … the club bubbles either aren’t in place or are not working as it seems to be tearing through teams once it gets in.

‘Behind closed doors’ won’t work if the players are all out with covid.’

 

I wouldn't be averse to closing down after Sunday's final. It would hopefully help towards combatting the virus, give our injured players a chance to fully recover and, hopefully, prevent BCD games as they are *.

 

What's the betting that we have a few players test positive afore Jan 2nd and they have none. * cheating * hun disease

 

Sturgeon is back to the daily publicity stunt, where every day she goes on TV to advise us all (in serious and sombre tones) that she will be doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and she will have stats to prove it and sometimes an advisor to confirm it, but somehow its a "new measure".

The destroyer of Hospitality in Scotland. The Glasgow Grinch that cancelled your Christmas Party.

Don't often agree with UK government. They say business as usual. No furlow. While they eat their cheese and wine in Downing Street.

Nicola says a Tsunami is hitting Scotland as we speak, destroying all hospitality in its path.

Project Fear .
