Belgians premature

1296

The Belgian league put the cat amongst the waffles yesterday by declaring the Jupiler League over and Bruges champions.  They sorted out their TV and other commercial arrangements and can start next season as soon as it is safe to do so.

There are very few calls to cut seasons short.  Tight leagues, such as in Italy and Spain, would forever  have questions hanging over them, while those assured of winning the title, as in Scotland and England, want to do so on the field, not at a league meeting.  Still, it was nice to see panic among the Null and Voiders, who would rather everyone lost than anyone (Celtic) won.

The Belgians have been pragmatic but premature, football is finished for the season, their champions are assured without controversy and they will accommodate those threatened with relegation.  The rest of Europe still clings to the hope that competition can start behind closed doors in the summer.  It will next month before we know if this is possible, there is no reason to make decisions before then.

  1. I’m sure Damian could easily combine his role with Celtic with his Ireland position.

     

     

    Coaching at Club and Country is nothing new.

    Ye Gods.

     

     

     

     

    Still no answer.

     

     

     

     

    The silence is deafening.

     

    ….

     

    Has the queen and./or NAY of her brood/hingers on offered to have their Civil List money reduced to help the NHS or her her so called ” subjects” ?

     

    Where is the £350 MILLION a Week that was promised by the Tories once we left the EU ?

     

    Ye Gods…

     

    Still NO ANSWER to these questions…

     

    The silence is deafening.

    Bankiebhoy,

     

    they are only ever short breaks until he gets the gumption up to return for a new troll, waxing lyrical with lies spouted by his misinformation gurus trump, pence and pompaeo.

     

     

    or returning to old already discredited arguments.

    I married TWO Proddies…some of my best pals were Proddies who were/are season book holders at Ipox…what does that make me ?

     

    Royal family….Hitler lovers !

    Well played.

     

     

    Some chatter earlier about folks local on here earlier (and prior) so throwing in the last local I had before I began my ‘merican adventure. The Pipe Rack in Shettleston (technically Springboig I suppose)

     

     

    I remember one of the first times I popped in as I moved in to my wee tenement. F’ing Bob FTP Malcolm sitting near the front door. Awful. He hung out with some real questionables. Some cardboard gangstas but a few real ones as well.

     

     

    I keep on going, some good, hard working Celtic men in there.

  9. Wonder when the quiz master will give us the answer

     

    After all he knows every thing else

     

     

    🎺🎺🎺

  10. Royal family and the hingers on….Nazi lovers and Parasites.

     

     

    If you know any Parents who have 2/4/5 kids etc…and those parents have never worked a day in their life and relied on State Benefits for all their years…they would be classed as scroungers and parasites by many…

     

    Whats the difference with those folk and the Royal Family ?

  11. gary glitter’s ok as long as it’s “hello hello 9 in a row hello hello”

     

     

    My numero uno when I was in the quali was cliff pilchard and “Traveling Light”.

     

     

    BTW if it hadn’t been for that Chinese virus copyright the trumpet we may have been celebrating another honest 9 at Easter Road the day and looking forward tae a semi on Easter Sunday.

    Big Jimmy,

     

    macjay does not answer questions that expose him for the lying buffoon he is, except when he wants to lead the discussion off on a tangent to subjects he thinks are safe for him.

  13. I still have a ticket for the game against the Huns sitting in a drawer here. Can’t see me getting the money back for that any time soon!

     

     

    Mind you, sitting in the Celtic Ticket Office is a ticket for today’s game which I paid for but didn’t receive, understandably in the current circumstances. I am however more hopeful of getting the money back for that.

  14. My 12th birthday BOOOOooooo

    Many congrats to Philbhoy and his long suffering better half ;-))

     

     

    I think I’ve got the winner for worst quarantine song – Colour by Numbers by Culture Club 👎

     

     

     

     

    Is that really worse than mine:` Hoots Mon` by Lord Rockingham`s Eleven?

     

    I think I`ll have a look at what was No12 when I was 1 !

  22. Philbhoy – Congrats to you and your wife, 34 married years, well done🎉🎂🍸

    Hail Hail

  23. My favourite Monkee song was/is ” A little Bit me and a little bit you”…

     

    I play the Juke Box in my local and sometimes play a couple of The Monkees songs.

     

    ANd many other artists of course…

     

    The Blondie Hit song…”DENIS”….was like so many other songs…a cover version of the song by “Randy and The Rainbows” is just one example…I love both versions.

     

    Likewise… Cyndi Lauper and ” Girls just wanna have fun”…is also a cover version…as it was orginially sung by a Guy…and I cant remember his name…but it was really bad. I liked Cyndis version.

    ————————-

     

    I got David Soul as well, but it was Don’t Give Up On Us

     

     

    I’m also from Lithuanian stock but my Dad’s family changed their surname when they moved to Scotland.
