A St Mirren player tested positive for Covid and now a Hamilton player is self-isolating after ”coming into close contact with a player from another club who has tested positive”, presumably the unnamed St Mirren player. Due to their age, footballers are largely immune to the worst dangers of Coronavirus, but you can see where the jeopardy lies for clubs.
If St Mirren are able to stop the disease spreading to the rest of the squad it is a testament to their safety procedures, but it is likely many others at the club were in close proximity to the player during the incubation period.
This is going to be a feature of the season; players will be required to isolate, some fixtures will be postponed. In Europe, it will be different. Our Europa League qualifier two weeks from today cannot be postponed by more than a couple of days. The final qualifier is three weeks today, between now and then every precaution must be taken to limit exposure for the players and backroom staff.
With pubs open for business to show Saturday’s Ross County – Celtic game, the need to run tests to learn what is achievable has never been greater. Cancelling controlled tests with no more than 300 spectators, where every piece of medical and scientific evidence assures us would all be entirely safe, would be classic bad government. We need to test practically every aspect of society for its health implications.

Sky in the Pie.
SkyScum are Dedperate for fitba with no Fergus M’ Canns
Sad.
Just saw this comment on the Guardian blog and in spite of the impending disaster ( well done Brexiters, you really are the brains of Britain!) it made me laugh:
‘It must be a first for any country in the world. Instead of coming home with a trade deal they ended up with trade sanctions. You really couldn’t make this shit up.’
Music is……….Neil Touching doon..
No Body is Betty G.
Neil is Heaven sent.
Believe & Forgive Always.
Thank You.
Am watching A Night To Remember on Film4. It’s about the sinking of the Titanic. Made in 1958; in black and white; lots of old British ‘stars’ such as Kenneth More, Honor Blackman, David McCallum, Ronald Allen and Scotland’s own John Cairney.
I remember seeing it at the La Scala picture house in Clydebank.
BIG JIMMY probably remembers it first time

But the next step in that thought process should be ‘would it be better or worse if Scotland left the UK?’
And really think about it rather than just think happy, comforting thoughts.
Boring stuff like currency,trade deficits, public spending deficit, interest rates, hard borders, trade tariffs, EU imposed public expenditure cuts etc.
And when you’ve thought that through the next thing to consider is ‘what’s the odds of getting a Labour government at Westminster and would that not be the best bet?

Why did the SNP support the vile Tory Party in calling an early election?
Was it because they wanted a Tory government?
Bad for the people of Scotland, but good for the SNP.
Just like Thatcher was.
They did the same back then of course, helping to bring down the Callaghan government.

And Maryhill’s own David McCallum
You can make anything up when Bojo’s involved
God help us
Ernie Lynch,
I think the likelihood of a Labour Westminster Government is zero. The red wall is all for Brexit. Without that vote and without Scotland ever again supporting the UK Labour Party again, its chance, imo, is nil.
Loved watching A Night To Remember on TV when very young in 1970s. Set off a bit of an obsession with Titanic after that
was majorly disappointed wit the 1990s reboot. Terrible story line and acting. The 1958 film was basically a true representation
PS Titanic museum in Belfast and the little tender they have as a side visit is really good and great value.
Scott Robertson off to Gillingham on loan. Good move.
Southampton will send Fraser Forster on loan. Strange waste of everyone’s time a month ago. Winning place back lasted all over zero league games it appears.
Saw a bit from the head of the EPL – really worried about not getting fans back – thought this was strange given that a couple of years ago a report suggested they could let fans in for free. Suppose they need the match day revenue and corporate hospitality. I think their main worry is an abandoning of the league and having to pay sky back.
Ernie
The Brexit red wall was maybe looking for the labour party to fully back the referendum result.
I voted labour in a hopeless Tory constituency
Anyway off to watch the cricket 🏏
I saw the clip of the sweary Irish TD posted earlier. That was about 10 years ago and directed at the good left wing Labour politician Emmett Stagg. He was a TD in my area for 30 years till the backlash in 2016 against labour for going in with Fine Gael and not stopping austerity
The sweary guy, Gogarty was a Green from my wife’s home town just down the road (she knew him growing up) so the Tds knew each other well and it all got personal. he didn’t get suspended due to the ‘f’ word not being banned in the Dail.
Great fun at the time though
Emmett Stagg’s brother was in the IRA and died on hunger strike in the 70s. I don’t know the details but they went very different paths in life

“Boring stuff like currency,trade deficits, public spending deficit, interest rates, hard borders, trade tariffs, EU imposed public expenditure cuts etc.”
our unionist Laboury Labour noo/auld/ are fantastic at remembering the above terms
while not in power.
somehow they collapse when in power,not one piece of Thatcherite legislation repealed,her monetarist policies tongueingly followed.rich richer,exponential growth in the offshore tax industry.
Labour will never be in power in England.they lost that power base long after they lost their Scottish base.Labour fight tooth and nail for the union.they do so knowing England has swayed right,Scotland to the snp
Parallels with davidmurray like memory is there for all to see. No insight or introspection into nationalizing bank debt in 08.joke note bout no money left somes them up.
any good left backs over there?

Gene – you win ;-) ;-)

Now you’ve pointed out the last post thing I may just go through some of the old articles 😉
Sussex 59 for 2 in the 9th over
51 fat fingers
countdown check jobo :-))

Ten years older but vastly more experienced Aiden McGeady would offer far more over the next season or two than Patrick Roberts. I wouldn’t have said that when Brendan was in charge but I’m saying it now.

when I lived in Sussex I used to go down and see friends in Hove.Their flat overlooked Sussex cricket ground.i admit here I did not follow cricket much but many a summer evening was spent watching a ‘knock,got into it then :-)

Celtic Mac
The question is who would he replace in the current side

The 20 /20 and 50 over games are easy to watch – 5 day test matches are a different matter.
Toaty Trump / Tiny Trot @ Boeing O’clock
Is it cold underneath that bridge?
Forger’s Gazette staple 1 — Monetarism — Aye right it left the building with Walters in 1990.
Forger’s Gazette staple 2 — Sorry no money left — bean counter joke first used in March 1974 when TH and the Tories were finally shamed out of office.
You really are ignorant some would say willfully ignorant.
BW @ 6.43
FF away on loan again — not handling his career very well at the moment.
Probably the same comment could be made regarding AMcG.
When the chance came I thought he would have made more of an impact at Everton than he did.
gene
Not a question of replacing anybody, not unless Neil Lennon only has eleven players in mind. Aiden offers an all round ability which would prove an asset especially if we are allowed to play five substitutes this season.
Celtic Mac
Neil’s use of substitutes isn’t the best – think he’d be a bench warmer
God bless and look over The Knox family

Amen to that 🙏
5 day cricket matches with two innings and weather permitting provides the best coditions to find a winner in a sport of many skills.

So Neil’s the problem?

We are living in strange / interesting times at the moment.
My big fear down south is that the Shy Tories and the Lab supporters who jumped the dyke in the so called Red Wall seats will stick with BoJo through thick and thin indeed the Christian Democrat wing of the Tories who up until 2010 had been voting with the Lib Dems are more likely to support KS in the next election.
Issue for the “Red Wall” — BoJo will not last until the next election.
The Tories will jump from the Torygraph to Old Monkey Glands as MG is set up to take over as BoJo retires with ill health — he really doesn’t look well now.
The rule breaking / the law breaking has upset a lot of straight laced Tories.
What made it worse was the shameless way they admitted what they were trying to do.
Next UK election — probably three months after the Army put down the bread riots.
And all the while Not-Jacinda will sit on her hands because she knows we are skint and don’t have a currency to print.
