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.

BIG JIMMY,
The government asked her to make the speech. Says it all.
Hot Smoked – Lol.
I hear you.
I sometimes have trouble with this thinking thing.
Interesting chat on lockdown.
1 in a 100 mortality rate always sounds broadly acceptable …. until you (or a loved one) become the poor unfortunate who is the “1”.
Calderwo9od would still be making the trips if she hadn’t been caught.
Unbelievable arrogance and disregard for her job.
Anyone would think she wasn’t taking this crisis seriously.
We are better rid of her kind.
Calderwood,
Guys lets not kid ourselves here, Calderwood will still be getting paid by us Behind the camera by advising Sturgeon.
D. :)

I hope not!
Do you think princess nicola would take another chance?
What’s the script with the ‘lockdown song’ thing – is there a rule to determine which song?

on your 12th birthday apparantly. dunno why though!
Ive just received my letter from Downing St.
Talk about JUNK MAIL….PM Says… ” I want to LEVEL with you” ?
Aye right Boris…so where is the £350 MILLION A WEEK for The NHS that you promised along with your Tory pals …
Are you gonna “LEVEL” with the Public on that ?…..
NAH…Didnt think so.
Scumbag…Liar.
Philbhoy – unfortunately I do.
I think Sturgeon gas done a good job in trying circumstances but this one is a massive mistake.
She should have sacked Calderwood instantly, no one should be beyond reproach, and no one in charge should be that reliable on any one individual otherwise we are doomed.
OMI of course.
D. :)
Hmmmmm, so the number one song as I turned 12 was ‘She’ by Charles Aznavour. Elvis Costello did a much better version. But don’t fancy listening to either on an endless lockdown loop!
Well number 1 on my 12th birthday was I think:
You needed me by Anne Murray
If I’m looking in the right google page thingy.
The words are quite apt at this time

I agree she should have been sacked immediately.
However, suspect she had a blether with the first minister and thought they’d test the water with a grovelling apology in an attempt to save her job and face.
I really do hope she is offthe payroll though.
When you get your letter from bawjaws mark it return to sender and pop it in a post box …

From Celtic official site
FOLLOWING the serious misrepresentation of Celtic FC, The Herald newspaper today made the following apology to the Club.
“On our front page promotion for a column on Saturday, we stated ‘Celtic cutting non-playing staff’s money shows how far football has lost its soul’.
“We are happy to clarify that Celtic have not cut any non-playing staff’s money. All staff on the Government’s job retention scheme are having their salaries paid in full by Celtic. We apologise to Celtic for our error.”
Jobo
As I said yesterday, mine was`Hoots Mon` by Lord Rockinghams Eleven.
If we had to play `our song` during quarantine, I would be joining Ms Calderwood in Fife !!
HJ-that must stick in there craw.was it written on page 44 bottom corner
Hrvatski
They can’t untell the lie
Is it true that the Huns cannot afford to pay non-playing staff such as match day stewards etc, and rely on volunteers?

It’s also her stupidity in thinking she’d get away with it.
Did she think no one would notice her turning up at her holiday home?
As I said before, this and the stuff that came out at the Salmond trial is suggestive of a class of people at the heart of government in Scotland who operate by their own rules and see themselves as above the rest of us. Not a good look.
The Herald article was written by Kevin McKenna, and was just the usual clickbait ‘lets have a heated debate’ tosh that is his stock in trade.
The impression is that there’s fewer and fewer people writing for the paper and they just turn out rubbish to fill the pages.

It’s a sense of entitlement – not restricted to her – prevalent in the corridors of power.
ERNIE LYNCH
Indeed!
However, their appetite to constantly take advantage is staggering and showing no signs of abating.
Who will be next?

But it’s more marked in Scotland because it’s such a small place, because the hegemonic grip that the SNP currently hold in Scotland means they are unassailable, and because it’s so at odds with the way the SNP like to portray themselves as being somehow new and refreshing and incorruptible.
I presume a member of the public must have “grassed on” Calderwood – does Lee Wallace have a place in Fife?

Philbhoy – Sadly I don’t think that Mrs Calderwood will be the only politician making these unnecessary journeys to second Holmes. It’s whether they will be caught.

TIM MALONE WILL TELL
……………mibbe it was Deckie McKay?

It seems with the SNP that there is always another scandal just around the corner.
We’ll see.

An arrogant and hypocritical individual, it is unbelievable.
Re the Salmond trial and an overview of the circle at that level, read some of the work of Craig Murray.
