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.

    Answers to Round 2: Celtic in Europe: It was the season 1999/20 and we were up against Welsh opposition in the UEFA Cup Qualifiers

  2. Gordybhoy, makes sense, imagine this time next season we’re in exactly the same position. Imagine being deprived of the feeling you get when you get the points to be confirmed champions and celebrating at the game with the player’s. At least if you finish this one you guarantee one end result, The other way by calling it you risk 2 seasons.

     

     

    I was gutted to hear today that these games will not be played, all you’ll hear is being handed a title when we were really robbed of the opportunity to celebrate fully the joy of winning.

    And how will we finish the league if half our opponents are not in business or have had to strip their squads to the bone?

     

     

    As much as I would like the season to end after all games are finished watching teams fold right, left and centre is hardly gonna give any more legitamecy to the winners, people will then complain we should have protected the other teams and we took advantage of weakened teams ffs

  9. Stephbhoy67,

     

    At least the season is played to a finish,

     

    its not Celtics fault if teams find themselves struggling,

     

    maybe had they not been as petty in years gone by

     

    and gave Celtic more tickets when we visited

     

    instead of having a half empty ground then they

     

    might be in a better position.
