I’m delighted Aberdeen got on-board with the suggestion the SPFL refrain from making a quick decision to curtail the Premiership season. In a letter to the other 11 SPFL teams, the League and SFA, they want to explore every way possible to complete the remaining league and Scottish Cup fixtures, while keeping a full 2020-21 fixture programme.
There is no reason for the SPFL, or our governments, to act quickly to cancel the season, and every reason to monitor what happens in countries where plans to relax lockdown have been prepared.
Chairman Dave Cormack outlined objectives and concerns, including the health of players and their ability to perform during a heavy fixture burden without affecting the outcome of games. His optimism is commendable, but almost certainly misplaced.
Players are in a demographic considered among the safest from the worst consequences of virus, but playing football games will spread Covid among squads. Fixtures cannot be fulfilled if your squad is ill with Covid, or isolating because they have been exposed to the virus. Recuperation time from an illness with such consequences is also likely to be substantial for an athlete (this remains uncertain as no athlete has yet recuperated and returned to competition).
I would love to see the season end competitively. We will not be able to attend games, but we would be able to watch Celtic win the title on the field, see Hearts relegated the way nature intended and watch Newco play their home games in Paisley.
Instead of cramming lots of games into the available time, I suspect the first year football returns will see lots of fixture cancellations and competition overruns. We have yet to get our heads around where the world is right now, but there’s no reason Aberdeen cannot look into possibilities. Wait until June, realise what you should have known for months and call it then.

Maybe get a t BBQ tonight Mick , it’s 18 degrees
☀️☀️
Sitting in the garden, sun shining, Celtic songs in the background
and wee Grace every ten minutes on facetime, so she ‘s still trying
to work out why Michael got taken away for stealing corn.
As regards her own song ..GRACE.. she won’t listen to it because
the bad soldiers hanged the man, it’s going to be a long process
but she’ll get there , i’m sure.
Across the fences ( barricades ) lovely to see the tim neighbours
having a Celtic day, wee wave of the scarves and their ghirl running
about with the tricolour round the shoulders.
Think maybe the rebs will be getting hammered later.
Can’t wait.
H.H . Mick
Petec good to see you back on bro. Hope you are well in your bubble.
Loving the Hun pain. Is that bad.
They must know that we get the title by default or we win it on the field.
Covid 19 will change our World. We will move on in some ways. Football can only resume with fans when we have a vaccine.
Moving to level 3 on Tuesday. Much like level four with a few more people allowed to,work. Hopefully in two weeks we can go to level 2 and then 1 and onto a new normal. Jacindas leadership has lead us through this. Be kind us the message that wil take us through the social, and the economic challenges. Kia kaha. Stand strong.
ANZAC day tomorrow. Those Hero’s really had it tough. We just need to stay home.
Hail Hail
Logging into laptop to start work , last day of another long week
You know how you have one of those melancholy discussions
when you’re having a wee snifter, so it came round to back in the day
early fifties into sixties, and talking about bread, now we loved plain
bread and yon big ooties.
And my favourite was an ootie wi butter and suger, but..but ..the
princess preferred Pan bread, me i thought it was too soft and mushy
but the big question we couldn’t answer was, why it was called Pan
bread? was that the trade name, or was it a world renowned bread
ergo a Pan..demic loaf?
O’K i’ve said my PIECE ( see what i did there)
8-))
H.H . Mick.

Le Pain ( pronounced pan ) is the French for bread .
El pan is also the Spanish for bread.
Mick
Don’t know how to break this to you ,but it’s called a pan loaf because it’s baked in a pan , plain loaves are baked together for into single loaves 😁
plain loaves are baked together and cut into single loaves 😁
Sheeeeeesh
TOURANGA BHOY
I agree it will change the world, hopefully for the better.
Must admit i’m surprised at the leadership shown by some of
our leaders here, Jacinda there, included, who have stood by their
health peoples advice and took the brickbats from the money
monsters.
Victoria now only i new infection and the clamour to ease restictions
especially from the Aussie footie rules is tremendous. but Daniel
Andrews is not for budging, and good on him.
H.H . Mick
Good morning CQN from a bright and sunny County Coatbridge.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
DAVID 66
It was always drinky poos , but don’t ever remember back in the day saying
” i’m going to the bog for a poo ”
Think that was/ is a modern day terminology.
Ahhh… baked in a pan, there you go, though i don’t think we had many French
and Spanish breed makers in aul Scotia back in the day 8-))
H.H . Mick
Got to Shuggiebhoy’s contribution around 12 last night gave me the best wee belly laugh I’ve had in ages, thanks ShuggieBhoy67

The old farmer said,”Well,as i see it,Donald Trump is like a “post tortoise”,not being familiar with the term,the doctor asked him what a”post tortoise”was.
The old farmer said,”When your driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with atortoise balanced on top,thats a post tortoise.The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctors` face so he continued to explain “You know he didnt get up there by himself,he doesn`t belong up there,he doesn`t know what to do while hes up there,hes elevated beyond his ability to function,and you just wonder what kind of dumb-ass put him up there to begin with

Snugglebhoy – now that’s funny😂

True.
However , many English words related to food are derived from French.
We don`t eat cow , we eat beef ( boeuf )
We don`t eat pig , we eat pork.{ porc ) .
Cochon even
MM,
Was thinking the same, at least post of the month if not yeat, maybe even quarter 😀
Good morning from another beautiful sunny day in the Costa del Moray.
OT67, if you are looking in please read back for the messages I left you.
Now here is my madcap take on how COVID-19 was created, not that I believe a single word of it.
Planet Earth had a problem created by one of its lodgers, the human race by name (HR). Now HR was getting out of control and trashing the property. So Planet Earth had a meeting with Mother Nature and they decided to call in an enforcer known as COVID-19 who issued an ASBO against HR. The resultant ASBO, known as lockdown resulted in HR having to desist from any further abuses of the property and HR was made to tidy the property up and carry out repairs to the damage it had caused.
Unfortunately, both Planet Earth and Mother Nature knew that HR would revert back to its old ways once the ASBO had been lifted.
All joking aside it will be interesting to see what effect international lockdown has had on the environment due to the massive reductions in the use of fossil fuels. Apparently, New Delhi’s skies have changed to a peculiar shade of blue as pollution has dropped by 60% in 3 weeks due to lockdown.

C’mon CANMAN i’d prefer to slag the SCROFULOUS BLUSTERING
BOMBASTIC BIGOTED GULLIBILLIES.
Any new statements from them? that really makes my Aussie day.
Their hurt is palpable lol.
H.H . Mick
MM,
fair enough but I still think dangerous propagandists should be challenged at every opportunity, the SCROFULOUS BLUSTERING BOMBASTIC BIGOTED GULLIBILLIES are just a microcosm that represent the same idea of dangerous propaganda to excuse ignorance and propagate lies as truth.
I’m away to inject disinfectant into my
Body to kill corona
Thank God Ole Donald knows the score
Pog..,
A couple of weeks ago I posted the observations of a senior doctor in the Glasgow health authority, that the number of chronically asthmatic children to attend hospital for treatment fell from over 300 per week to below 50 per week, the fall in air pollution was his theory.
Forster and Elyounoussi will be heading back to Southampton. I don’t think we’ll be making any signings this summer.
Bain will do ok in Scotland but he cost us against Cluj last August and I fear it’ll happen again in the pivotal CL qualifying this summer.
We’ll hopefully hold on to Eddie for one more season and I’d expect to see more of Klimala and Soro as they get blooded for regular first team football.
In Lawwell we’ve one of the best in the business, we’ll come out of this ok.
MM,
or should I say
dangerous BLUSTERING BOMBASTIC BIGOTED propagandists
Got a headache this morning, I’ve taken two dishwasher tablets and a glass of antifreeze. Still not feeling better, any advice?
DAVID17
A big glass of the rid biddy lol.
H.H . Mick
CANAMALAR IT LOOKS LIKE OCD OBSESSION on 24TH APRIL 2020 8:43 AM
There appears to be a worrying general disinclination to attend hospital at the moment.
I’d want to see comparative figures for other departments before drawing any conclusions about air pollution just yet.
HOT SMOKED
BMCUWP has no contact details for SOUTH OF TUNIS.
Ernie..,
As I said it was a theory, however, his reasoning was based on the “chronic” component, children fighting for breath, which I suspect even wary parents would risk attending hospitals.
David66
OK by me
Canamalar,Foghorn Leghorn is possibly my all time favourite cartoon character,and funniest,so I much prefer an image of Colonel Blimp when you know who is talking down to us ;o).
My memory of plain bread is the still warm uncut Co-op loaf,ootsiders where huge when you where in charge of the breadknife.
HH
Mibbe The Trumpet should take the disinfectant injection first.
C’mon Donald , you know it makes sense!
I will also say, I had the same question as did the first person to respond to the original post, so I have no doubt the doctor had a similar thought, which is why he highlighted the seriousness of the “chronic” conditions of the children attending.
Melbourne Mick your man Andrews sound like a sensible leader. Talk here is extending our bubble to Oz when things get better so might cash in our AirNz credits and head back over the ditch. Might take Kynette to Adelaide, she hasn’t been there before. Hail Andrews
Can’t get CQN on my iPhone anymore , big advert smack in the middle. My setting are for no pop ups. Anyone have advice to get rid of the pop up adverts. I like to lurk on my lunchtime walks. Thanks. Be kind. Kia kaha.
