BBC article shows “writing on the wall”

321

Chris McLaughlin’s article on BBC last night had a style to it: informed, pointing the way things will go, but revealing no sources.  Null and void has “pretty much been taken off the table as an option”.

“Playing out the season is what everyone wants, but there is a growing realisation that this scenario is looking increasingly unlikely.”  Whereas ending the league now “is the outcome that most are now expecting”.

“Rangers [sic.] might argue that Celtic could be caught. Few in the game believe that would happen in reality, and it may well be that inside Ibrox they are already aware that calling the season is more than likely.”

Even Ann Budge at Hearts, we are told, “is also a pragmatist and if the writing is on the wall, she will get the best deal she can and get on with it.”  Before Chris added “for Hearts fans the writing is very much on the wall.”

The article is caveated, I know as much as anyone that even impeccably sourced information can be invalidated by changing circumstances, but we do not see journalists who have access to impeccable sources, which Chris McLaughlin has, use phrases like “taken off the table”, “the outcome most are now expecting” and “writing is very much on the wall” without those sources being consulted.

    What I don’t find funny is 120 thousand deaths from austerity and thousands of deaths we should take on the chin, operation last gasp.

    While you were posting about Boris my thoughts and emotions were with Jitendra Rathod, a father of two, a heart surgeon.

  12. Good morning CQN from a dry but overcast Garngad

     

     

    Yesterday’s COVID -19 figures are absolutely shocking. Nearly 1000, that’s 1000.

     

     

    I am a great believer in moving/looking forward but I cannot help but think that if we went into some sort of lockdown sooner then a lot of life’s would have been saved, then again hindsight is a wonderful thing. But surely it would have been better to stop people moving about on trains/tube/buses at the start of any pandemic???

     

     

    Where are we with Test Test Testing, Ffs get everyone tested.

     

     

    On the football front I cannot see us playing any football in front of crowds this year, I hope I am wrong though.

    “Celtic fans were all on the pitch when they won the 
European Cup in Lisbon but Billy McNeill was still able to lift the cup.

  14. Good Morning Bhoys

    Be well, stay safe and at home.

    It is so sad that John prine has died. I just loved him. May he rest in eternal peace

     

     

     

    He goes to join my other favourite David Olney who we lost in January.

  21. Good news today from FIFA. The proposal to extend all contracts until the end of the season (whenever that may be) has been approved.

     

     

    This means that, if the season was to continue into August/September, we’d know that we will have Johnny Hayes, Craig Gordon, Jozo Simunovic, Elyounoussi & Forster available.

     

     

    Transfer windows also to be extended.

  22. THE_HUDDLE

     

     

    Notwithstanding that the Moderator has thankfully and rightfully deleted your appalling comments from last night, you are one sad individual.

  23. Morning all, sunny and warm here in Deutschland.

     

    A thought: once we’re awarded the league we can rest some first-team players ;-)

     

    Stay healthy, everyone.
