In the first and almost certainly only time I’ll ever quote Motherwell manager, Stephen Robinson, the Motherwell manager said, “”The protocols [football has]adhered to are above and beyond anything else, it’s above the NHS frontline staff.
“And football can give respite from the mental health side of things. In a world where things are complicated and strange, football can be that relieving factor, that little bit of joy and happiness.”
But holding test events? Testing is anathema to governments in Edinburgh and London, where superstition is the route followed by our governing twins. Instead, they open the pubs for fans to congregate indoors, untested and without any chance of proper supervision. There is no scientific evidence for this preference, in fact, this choice goes against all evidence. Football is the most prepared industry in the country to allow staff and public to participate, as Stephen Robinson said, more so than the NHS, but your governments chose differently.

Bamboo/Burnley 78/TET,
I’m just back in from a night out in Warsaw with a Finnish journalist…
He has reported on the Turkish Coup, Brexit (this Feb(?) when the split was happening) and is very recently back from interviewing the people in northern Italy about their experience of Covid19.
He was telling me of doctors and nurses saying they couldn’t leave their work without tears in their eyes as they were helpless to help these people.
He also spoke to families who weren’t able to see their loved ones buried. And others who told him there was so many dead that their loved ones couldn’t even be buried in their local cemetery.
I’ll leave you to make your own summary …
…and if you have any questions I’ll ask if he’s willing to answer 👍🏼
P.S. I’m writing this whilst I’m still 🥴 in case I forget by the morning
TET,
So has Bill Gates given up/sold his stake in Microsoft to control the world’s population?
Why give up your stake in a company that could potentially tell him every thought/move “we” are about to make?
That seems to be the way Amazon/Google are going and they are making more money than pretty much anyone these days…
Think about how much money you could make with more people on earth… 🥴
Burnley 78

………..
If possible and the game is going Celtic’s way..it would be great to see Leigh…The Hunskelper get some game time.
At times we have missed that Bhoy.
Only my opinion of course.
I hope that you and family manage your trip to Haggerston…All the best mate.
HH
Good morning, friends, from a clear skied ,dry but cold East Kilbride. Into my 7th month of (happily) working from home with the reward at the end of today of getting to see The Champions play. Tonight I don’t mind whether it’s 3 or 4 at the back as long as it’s 2 up top.
Big Jimmy – If Leigh can get his act together he can be a real asset, a real cheeky chappie who can find the net. He might struggle to get in front of Eddie and Ajeti, but hopefully with a long season ahead he would get his chance later in the campaign.
Long term planning….go get Paddy Robert’s. 😂

I have taken Celtic to win 5-0 in a Correct score bet with Bet365 at odds of 18/1.
I will also be backing Shane Duffy to score at anytime….does anyone know if Riga are a BIG Team LOL ?
Shane failed to score in Celtics last game…surely his “Slump” cant continue ?
HH
Looking forward to watching tonight’s match.
Think Neil will go,
Barkas
Ajer Duffy Elhamed
Frimpong Brown McGregor Christie Elyounoussi
Ajeti Edouard.
Hope that is the team, and I fancy us to win 2-0.

first frost of winter in south lanarkshire
brrrrr
DD…I’m sorry to say to you, wee Greg will play and play well tonight…
‘Mon the wee man…
Mornin all
Big Jimmy – I don’t know specifically about this Riga team but Basketball is huge in all the Baltic nations and their sport men tend to be tall in general.
A long time ago I left part of my liver in Riga😀🥃🥃🥃
WBC
I really pray he doesn’t play. Think we will struggle if he does. The weak link in our team, and the opposition know it.
I read somewhere that Riga have 5 or 6 Brazilians playing for them, if true their height at least will not be influenced by Baltic Basketball,
Read back a bit there I’m really disappointed to see the way this site is going, full of conspiracy theory loonies, religious nutcases and raving unionists including the host.
Used to be a great site for all things Celtic now I think there are more fake Celtic fans who seem to idolise Trump.
Not flouncing because there are still a few decent posters around but reading this site is no longer a daily pleasure its depressingly becoming more like twitter than a football discussion site.
Visits will be rationed to game days.
Good morning and happy match day from a damp but brightening North Staffs.

If you think the blog is going the wrong way then post more 👍
Foodbank duty calls.
Good Morning, Grand Day To Be A Celt…
Didn’t get a reply to my little conundrum last night…
MMMMmmmmmmm
Let’s try another one…
If Celtic can’t properly inform and persuade their own footballer’s to follow Covid rules, how can they be trusted to do it with fans in the stadium? If Celtic won’t take responsibility for said footballer, who would expect them to take responsibility for fans in the stadium?
Looking forward to the game in Riga… for me big Shane is immense… he can make the difference.

Conspiracy theory loonies : How many so called conspiracy theories have been proven true.?
Religious nutcases : Freedom of speech, do you decide what religion is for nutcases. ?
Raving unionists including the host : The host has originated this blog, it’s his right to post what he thinks. He spends a great deal of time and effort for you to ” enjoy”.
Note : For every ” raving” unionist there is an equally” raving ” Scottish Nationalist.
Or does the equation only apply to your thought train.?
Instead of moaning, post more. We would all love to share your views on Celtic and beyond.

Replace Celtic with any employer e.g Tesco and ask the same question.
Got to dash will look back after lunch.
DD…well, whomever you are praying to re young mister Taylor, I hope he/she cocks you a deaf ‘un…
You can give me a thumbs up just before 8 o’clock tonight…enjoy the game! ✌️😊
At what stage in the history of Celtic did it become de rigeuer for the Clubs’s Scottish fans to support Scottish nationalism?
There must be generations of fans spinning in their graves or at least shaking their heads in bemusement at the assumption.
Was 2 weeks ago on Wednesday Ernie. Keep up 😂

Fantastic news re your wife, and family. Hope all goes well with the recuperation.

I think it’s the north Brit diatribe that we’re ‘too small, too poor and too lacking in talent’ and should rely upon our Westminster overlords, that riles so many.
And I know you know that. You’re the veritable Daniel Defoe of CQN
Stay safe.

GENE @ 9:31 AM,
Don’t want to seem obtuse but didn’t get your point, will make a couple of observations…
In reality Corporates aren’t going to be volunteering to take responsibility when they can… deny! Deny!! DENY!!! It is a well proven strategy of theirs. So they must not be trusted.
The Charity I work for have a very different approach it seems to me.
We need to go to Supermarkets, we understand the risks, yet we must eat and have essentials. We don’t need to go to football games, not buying into, it stops us going mental. In fact, the domestic violence figures in Glasgow would suggest the opposite.
Popped in to a “local” Tesco after work last night, wee girl came in still wearing her school uniform, the shop supervisor asked where was her mask, she said because of her age she didn’t have to wear one, the supervisor said there’s an outbreak at you school – we’re asking everyone to wear one. She was firm but fair with the girl.
Keep up the great work in the foodbank, we need more ghuys like you. I’m sure I’ve gone off on the wrong tangent, so if you clarify I’ll endeavour to get back.
Hail Hail

‘I think it’s the north Brit diatribe that we’re ‘too small, too poor and too lacking in talent’ and should rely upon our Westminster overlords, that riles so many.’

That’s a narrative promulgated by the SNP and their fellow travellers and useful idiots.
It’s just part of their strategy of fomenting grievance and resentment and shouting down any questioning or criticism rather than providing answers.
It’s pathetic that so many Celtic fans have been conned into supporting them.
Ernie
It’s your narrative. Delivered most recently as yesterday to DD, as a pithy but pretty condescending one liner.

Remind me. I have so many pithy one liners I can’t recall them all.

You’re a caution.
I know you’ve have it stored in an album somewhere!

‘At what stage in the history of Celtic did it become de rigeuer for the Clubs’s Scottish fans to support British nationalism?’
###
If by supporting British nationalism you mean solely Scotland remaining as part of the UK then it would be 1888 when the Club was founded.
Of course thats not what you mean by supporting British nationalism though is it? You mean something different, but rather than be explicit you leave it as innuendo.
The problem with that though is that some of us are old enough to remember The Troubles and how the SNP’s involvement was restricted to supporting Scottish squadies who’d got a bit too enthusiastic in having a crack at the Mick.
Nothing but a shower of reactionary, duplicitous charlatans.
As I read that post I found myself humming along to rule brittania, weird.
Never had that experience on a Celtic site before. It wasn’t pleasant.
