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.

Good evening CQN I bring you news about the final amount donated to support TET’s Son, Niall and his Fiancée, Sharon.
A staggering £918.88 raised through the Walk with Shay account. An apt amount in this historic year, when we win 9 in-a-row the second time since our unbroken history began in 1888.
The go fund me donations £1,837.00. Total donations £2,755.88, a fantastic effort.
As I have posted before given Jan’s health issues it is unlikely she will be able to see Niall get married. So the donations will cover the losses and any left over will help and go to covering the cost of streaming the wedding so that Jan and other family and friends can watch the wedding live.
Thank you on behalf of TET, Jan, Niall and Sharon. My faith in you all has been fulfilled.
Please stay around for the quiz, starting at 21:00.
And as I alluded to earlier and if CRC gets his act together we will have a post around 22:30 from someone who has been absent from these pages for far too long….none other than BRTH…
Until we meet again

Hail Hail!
