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.

    French photojournalist Yan Morvan was covering Northern Ireland during the hunger strikes and was in country when Bobby Sands passed away. Here are some of Yan’s images from his book ‘Bobby Sands’, which is available from André Frère Editions

    BT-my wife thought she recognised the name.She left in 86.I went to Holy Cross and I’m blaming that for spelling ogilvie wrong.

  4. Matt Stewart, Glasgowghirl mentioned earlier (just after you popped out) that her quarantine tune is the 1981 version of It’s my party, by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin. Any chance you could post that version? Cheers mate!

  5. Watching the 2002 cup final replay. Wondering just how much more that great team could have won had we had a good keeper. Douglas was shockingly bad, blame intimately lies with MoN – had he gone out that summer and got a decent keeper things would have been very different in Seville.

  6. Quarantine song?

  7. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    Watching the 2002 Scottish Cup Final on BBC Scotland. Hoping the game is now declared null and void over the use of Illegal EBT’s.

     

     

    What a legitimate team we had, we even had the likes of Moravcik on the bench.

     

    To be fair the huns had not a bad team also, pity it wasn’t legit.

     

     

    Poor Rab in goal, its 1-1 and I think he should have done better at the near post for the huns first goal.

     

     

    HH to all, the game continues.

  8. BT I went to JOHS ! My sister done same as tam and went to Blantyre High ! You. Might have been there same time as my brother Martin J ! My other brother Jim was very friendly with tam during the 3 Dees and park lane era! Gordybhoy 64 ! 🥳😂👍
