Football, racism and prevarication

411

All it takes to make you feel less like you live in a leper colony is to watch European football and realise that problems of racism are not confined to Scotland or England.  I don’t know if many care in Hungary how their fans looked against England, going by the standard M.O. here, you suspect some will blame the media for highlighting that hoary old lie, the “tiny minority”.

The media and politicians certainly have a role in publicising racism, or covering it up, as has often been the case around these parts.  Memories of the 2011 League Cup Final stand out in particular, a moment when political affirmation of racist conduct pivoted behaviour in the stands that remains to this day.

This problem has touched every club but seldom been an issue for Celtic, you would literally need to go back decades.  When an incident happened in the 80s, fans took responsibility, which drew a clear line of what was acceptable, observed ever since.  Prevarication does not work as well.

Football is set to return to our stands and TVs this weekend.  We will see the results of prevarication.

    Not got a clue what you are on about with your post. Sorry

     

     

    If you mean everyone should be double vaccinated then I agree if not then I do not agree.

     

     

    Hope that’s clear.

    AT – Great post.

     

     

    I know quite a few bhoys that have tested possitive after the St Mirren game and they are not going back just now.

     

     

    1 is in intensive care he didn’t take up the vaccine.

     

     

    I pray that he pulls through.

    Looks like there may be a few extra season tickets available from 1st October. For anyone on here willing to place their politics & posturing ahead of watching Celtic this season, I’d be happy to take your season book off your hands for a nominal sum, say £5? I’ll then link in with the ticket office and get these transferred over to the Kano Foundation. That way, your ticket isn’t wasted and you get the price of a pint to mull over your own stupidity…win/win!!

    Will all the children be double vaccinated?

  5. Gooooood morning cqn 1 day to go to we see the bhoys again.

     

     

    I know that TB had posted Kyogo out for 1 month I hope not. Bloody internationals.

     

     

    We will find out today for cert with Ange presser.

  6. GENUINE QUESTION…

     

    I was Double Vaccinated early this year.

     

    HOW do I get a NHS Double Vax Certificate, or HOW Do I get said Certificate on my Phone etc.

     

    I aint too great with modern Technology.

     

    I would be grateful for any advice, as I dont wish to be banned from anywhere simply because I dont have PROOF of being Double jabbed….IF it comes to that in the near future ?

     

    HH.

  7. Big Jimmy – We are fine but I manage 85 guys in work and 20 over last 2 weeks off with this Delta variant. Some possitive some away for a day or 2 and back as negative and double vaccinated some refusing to take the vaccine some only had 1 months ago and not bothered with the second, all the variables for me and the supervisors to try and keep ALL staff safe is a nightmare.

     

     

    To get your paper copy of double vaccination go onto nhs inform and type in double vaccination passport and follow instructions, once you register request a paper copy but go on your phone and repeat and download and you get QR codes.

  8. Big Jimmy…I asked TonyRome thst exact same question…as he’d just been back from Dublin…seems you don’t if within a certain travel area…but you do need for elsewhere. If you’ve been jabbed twice…you can log into the NHS website and request a copy of yer jab history. Additionally…it will cost us extra £80?pp to travel outwith this common travel area…TR can explain it better

    Hey Tom Mglaughlin.

     

    I remember years ago I posted a song on hrere asking you to shine bright like a diamond. You didnt get it.

     

    I,m glad you beat cancer. Your light is burning bright.

     

    Hail Hail

     

    ===========

     

    Many thanks.

     

    Much appreciated.

  10. DAVID66…

     

     

    Cheers mate.

     

    I am okay, but apart from hospital appointments and health centre appointments, I havent been out anywhere.

     

    No Beer since 2nd August.

     

    Thanks for the advice about Covid Passport. ive been trying ONLINE this morning, but for some reason it is NOT allowing me to Register…I may need to phone them this morning.

     

    Im glad you and the family are all well.

     

    Disappointed with the news on Kyogo…IF True ?

     

    HH.

    ………

     

    ive no immediate plans to travel, but I read somewhere that we ALL might need Vaccine Certificates in the near future to gain entry into a Pub etc…and Celtic Park etc ?

     

    HH.

  12. It’s Friday my dudes ;-))…hope to feck those worrying about child gender specific labels understand

     

     

    H.H.

  13. Big Jimmy…pubs I doubt as they can’t afford the infrastructure…Parkhead….remsins to b seen if it can be implemented

  14. Just read back wish I hadn’t bothered. A heady mix of religious fundamentalism, anti vaccine propaganda and just straight forward conspiracy theory nonsense.

     

     

    For those who are willing to give up your season tickets rather than have a vaccine but were willing to renew to support this board it just shows that its not about Celtic but all about posturing. I have zero sympathy.

    Got to https://www.nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine/after-your-vaccine/get-a-record-of-your-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccination-status

     

     

    go to the RECOVER option

     

     

    This allows you to register and pick your own password plus you will need to know the date of your first jag

     

     

    Once registered and in the site you can order a paper copy with qr codes and also download a pdf

     

    with qr codes

     

     

    as you are registered now you can log in and log out so then log in on iphone so you can download the pdf to your iphone

     

     

    hope that makes sense

    I have also just read back.

     

     

    If I ever doubt my own sanity, reading back the CQN nightshift reassures me that I’m actually still in pretty good shape.

    The thing that got me was the number of them.

     

     

    Did the Mrs kick them all oot their beds for snoring or something?

    …Cheers mate,

     

    ive tried numerous time this morning to register and/or Log In to the DOUBLE Vaccine Form etc…but I am being advised that my Unique USERNAME is NOT Valid ( Despite this username name being stated on my Vaccine appointment letters)…

     

    Ive tried the ” Recover”…?

    ive tried to Log In as a previous user /

     

    NONE of the above will allow me to Register and/or Log In.

     

    I need to wait til 10am to phone them.
