Joint Response Group holding statement

393

Scottish football’s Joint Response Group’s comments yesterday were little more than a holding statement.  Daily testing will move the dial little from every second day.  It was a demonstration to show they are still active and capable of responding, should the occasion arise.  My main concern this last week has been that the League Cup Final goes ahead with fans tomorrow.  Unlike earlier periods, any escalation this time looks like fixtures will be postponed, instead of games played behind closed doors.  As a season ticket holding fan, that would be my preference.

Let’s hope protocols hold up between now and the winter break, when everyone in the game can rest for a period.

    If you wish to take issue with the substance of the argument feel free to do so.

    Any evidence to back your exaggerated assumptions ? Or is it just the guesswork of Boris and friends.

     

     

    There is no where near the 250 omnicron hospitalizations needed for any robust information to be drawn last I checked.

  3. Buzzing for tomorrow.

     

     

    Including the Old Dryburgh Cup and Seville it will be the fiftieth time I have attended a Celtic Cup Final in my life. 8 of these cup finals have been against Hibs !

    I didn’t suggest that we play a weakened team.

     

    But only players who are 100% fit should be selected

  5. Hopefully tomorrow is more like the 6-1 1972 Scottish cup Final and not the Dryborough Cup final 3-5 a couple of years later.

    The thing about dealing with a Pandemic is you don’t have the luxury of waiting for evidence before deciding what action to take.

     

     

    By the time the evidence is available it’s too late to take action.

     

     

    So you draw inferences from what you know at the time.

     

     

    And at the moment the numbers are progressing as forecast.

    The difference though is that Johnson has opponents and dissenters within the Tory party.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I see no evidence of that within the cult

     

    ……………….

     

     

    Looks like I may have to live thru 3 lifetimes, BEFORE I ever read a Post on here from You and your Tory Cult pals on here to EVER Slag off Boris, Brexit and the Tory Cult DESPITE ALL the CORRUPTION AND SLEAZE that Boris and his quisling mates are exposed for.

  8. Imagine a poor elderly suspected cancer patent having to wait until well into 2022 to get an appointment.

     

    Then contrast that with a healthy 18 year old getting an immediate appointment for a booster jag that may give out mild symptoms.

     

     

    We are creating a timebomb here.

  9. The problem with lying and corrupt politicians like Boris and

     

    Nicola is that they investigate themeslves with always

     

    an outcome in their favour

     

     

    Its like me or you doing Highers in Mathematics and getting to

     

    mark the paper yourself

  10. 67 European Cup Winners on

    CELTICFOREVER on 18TH DECEMBER 2021 1:48 PM

     

    Higher mathematics !!

     

    Even if I marked it myself I would still fail

  11. Sounds like wee Ernie has information that Judith is an independence supporter. Thanks Ernie. Good to know.

  12. “Bridget Jones’s Dairy”

     

    A story of one woman’s struggle to teach her employees on the fine arts of properly milking a coo

  13. lets all do the huddle on

    just because the governments havent announced a lockdown or a closure of stadiums and the hospitality industry doesnt mean you are not perfectly within your rights not to go to these places

     

     

    in fact you are perfectly entitled to not leave your house at all until the virus goes away.completely

     

     

    just dont drag the rest of us down with you

  14. Big Jimmy,

     

     

    Everyone on here knows Boris Johnson is named after a hurricane ( Bawbag ) .

     

    There is no point in repeating the blatantly obvious. He has broken promise and promise, has been economical with the truth and is not fit to lead.

     

     

    But all is not bad for the Tory party Nearly 100 of them revolted. Revolt would never be tolerated by Nicola’s SNP government ( Ref,despicable OB act )

     

     

    Imagine ring fencing £350 m for a hypothetical independence referendum when you have just decimated our hospitality industry with your grandstanding.

     

    Where is the missing £600,000 of donations that the police are investigating. The catalogue of failure is frightening.

     

     

    Boris and Nicola, two cheeks of the same ar$e.

     

     

    Collectively the people deserve better.

     

     

    HH.

  15. Burnley78 wasn’t there a 6-3 cup final against Hibs at around the same time?

     

    Dixie and Joe Harper both scored hat-tricks. Iirc.

  16. Dundee Utd decimated for today’s game due to Covid.

     

     

    On another matter, when does the campaign officially start to have the St Mirren game on Wednesday cancelled due to the Paisley side’s Covid outbreak?

  17. I thought that Police Scotland had dismissed the accusation of missing £600,000 on the grounds that there is no such thing as ‘ring-fence’ money in business law. Once money is in a company it is up to the board how its spent.

     

    I maybe wrong.

  18. And so it begins…6 United players out…..odds on st mirren will have enough players out to be cancelled and not having to play half a youth team !!!!…….

  19. So Dundde Utd dont consider asking for a postponment but are proud to play academy graduates today, utter fix.

  20. Gene

     

    Watch Sevco get a postponement if their 3 Nigerian players aren’t available, Covid rules not required

  21. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    Tomorrow we will forget all our “differences”. We will stand united, support , team and club and we will send a collective GIRFUY to all and sundry when we lift the trophy.

     

     

    HH to all.

    Although we are very diversified it is good that we all come together as one on occasion.

     

     

    Tomorrow is such an occasion.

     

     

    HH.

  24. Weejoe

     

     

    Yup. I remember that well. Less quoted than the 6-1. It was a league cup final. Around the same time. I remember being treated to the luxury of being in the old hampden north stand for that game.

    Not exactly, though I believe that at one time she had a similar orientation to that of your cult leader. I’ve no idea about her political orientation, then or now.

  26. GENE on 18TH DECEMBER 2021 3:11 PM

     

    Players out due to COVID

     

     

     

     

    What is the level after which a game is postponed.

    Is it not more to with the number of eligible players still available to play?

  27. Ernie Lynch. 18TH DECEMBER 2021 3:40 PM.

     

     

    Of course he would say that, wouldn’t he ?

     

     

    You are aware that sooooooo many doom laden predictions have been way off the mark.

     

     

    Aren’t you ?

  28. How would an `eligible player ` be defined?

     

     

    Any player on the books who is not out through injury or illness?

     

     

    Would that stretch to Youth team players?

  29. lets all do the huddle on

    they have said in england if you have 14 fit players including a keeper you are expected to play the game

     

     

    not sure if that was epl or efl though
