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. Sorry will be taking a wee break from the discussions,as I only came on here originally to talk about Celtic.I know this virus has curtailed our football,but ,really,”What school, what teacher,what year”,might be interesting to those involved,but to the onlooker,BORING.Sorry if this upsets you,but,true.There is still much to talk about in the football world,,especially Celtic,,but not the case for many it seems.

     

    Anyway,enjoy your chatter,see you when the football starts.As if anyone cares.not in the clique,or religious nutters,so ,probably,no one will.

     

    Anyway stay safe,isolate,and take care.As Petec would say”Jehovah will save us all”.

    Corkcelt mentioned just a wee while back that, and I’m paraphrasing here, that we have all found our own path to Celtic and I agree with that, mine was seeing the Bhoys play in Ayr, a bus ride away, way back in the day. Bound to be differences of opinion along that road. As for our support in Scotland, well, we were the pre-eminent club one hundred years ago, fifty years ago and now, that wider support is still there, don’t necessarily go to games, but still there, and elsewhere.

    Absolutely agree.

     

     

    My concern is with the attempted alienation of those who don`t conform to the dictats of the CQN thought police .

     

    aka. Those who can think for themselves.

    Pog..,

     

    I cannot agree, bojo and his team are responsible for the herd immunity strategy and the thousands that will needlessly die as a result of his strategy, his let’s take it on the chin statement I hope delivers a knockout blow for him and his team.

     

    After decades of eroding the health service resulting in the current crisis and danger to life of the medical and ancillary staff, while lying about the extra cash they were going to make available, the torys deserve to be decimated. Just my humble opinion.

    Bognor.

     

     

    NB. The salient fact .

  9. CANAMALAR IT LOOKS LIKE OCD OBSESSION,

     

    I cannot bring myself to wish that sort of harm on anyone with possibly one exception and even then I doubt I could.

     

    I am well aware of what BoJo and his team are responsible for but I don’t live in the eye for an eye camp. I have enough faults without wishing physical or mental hardship on anyone. I don’t want to be like them! As I said polar opposites of my beliefs.

  10. Boris in hospital for tests? I thought he was already tests for Covid-19. I suspect he is not in for tests but is now at the critical stage where breathing is very difficult.

     

     

    My next door neighbour had it. He told me how difficult it was to breathe on day 10. Phoned NHS and was advised that as long as he could still breathe while sitting up he should remain at home. Four days later he had fully recovered.

     

     

    For Boris to go to hospital must be serious.

  11. A wee question for McJay

     

     

    Old Betty – just seen her on the news

     

    We are in this “together”

     

     

    Can you tell me what contribution of “all in this together” she will contribute to ???

     

     

    Just one other question

     

    Can you tell me, outwith the pope, of any world or religious leader, who has had to have his followers pay for a visit as a national head, to the UK ???

     

     

    Shouldn’t be that difficult to answer

     

     

    With regards your question

     

    Is it % of Scotland or the UK

     

    Can you then give what the figures are ??

     

    As you asked,

     

    hoping you know an accurate answer

     

    The one you expect others to provide

  16. The daily mirror post (I tried to copy and paste it ,but it was making me cranky ,so h

     

    Gave up ) was in answer to ave aves question

  17. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Pog….,

     

    I believe it’s called karma and as bojo wished, letting nature taking its course.

     

    However, I still believe it’s a stitch up, I doubt there is anything seriously wrong with him or if there is I’ve no doubt he will have his choice of the most promising treatments that he ensured most others will no even have a sniff at.

     

    I do not regard this ad eye for eye, simply the universe righting itself. Remember it’s always at Gods discretion who goes, an eye for eye can only be real as an activity. Then agian if I think it is also a sin, why can I say, I’m a sinner. If I read my bible properly Jesus died on the cross for people exactly like myself.

  18. Didn’t realise I had asked anything about a war 75 year ago

     

     

    So

     

     

    Do you an accurate answer McJay

    Handy hint a wee thing that lets you scroll past texts you find boring is scroll button on mouse.

     

     

    A lot on here are going stir crazy being stuck in the house away from dreaded work/family/normal life
