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.

    I will not be watching to see what the Queen has to say.

     

    Macjay,my opinion is if there were to be a vote tomorrow on retaining the monarchy

     

    then it would be a yes vote,due to the Rule Britannia lots love of the Queen,

     

    if it took place after her death it would be a lot closer.

    He had been in Graces on St Patrick’s day and thought he had caught a cold , ended up in hospital was confirmed as having corona then let out last Friday. Last Saturday he was taken back into hospital and placed into an induced coma

     

    Renal failure caused his death as a result of corona virus

    2003 SCF on BBC Scotland at 7.15,another defeat, I think the BBC might have one that we won…

  10. Bada

     

    You’d think that as we’ve won it more than any other team it would be reflected in their selection

    A 2020 CQN Now That’s What I Call Being Twelve compilation would go down as one of the worst releases in recording history.

     

     

    Only topped of course by next year’s Now That’s What I Call Being Thirteen.

  12. BT , do you know Thomas McQuade sister Elaine, stays in France now ! If so you maybe know my sister Maureen! Anyway stay strong mate

  13. Keeping CQN on the sharp end of the treatment news

     

    IVERMECTIN

    Bottom line

     

    Clinical trials in the laboratory (in vitro) on ivermectin show that ivermectin reduces the number of cell-associated viral DNA by 99.8 % in 24 hours, for the SARS-CoV-2 which is the virus that causes COVID-19.

     

    More studies are needed to see if these positive results will be the same in human testing (in vivo) and whether ivermectin will decrease the symptoms, time for recovery and death rate from COVID-19.

     

    Ivermectin is already a FDA approved medicine for some types of intestinal worms

     

    It is known that ivermectin has a good safety profile.

  14. Matt thanks for that never tire of listening to the Kinks. don’t frequent Sharkeys now since my daughter bought a house in Renfrew but when all this is over we’ll grab a pint there. Take care and stay safe H H Hebcelt
