Scottish Government, SFA and SPFL will find evidence to start playing in Aug

200

We live in a political world.  With most of Europe either already playing football, training or with dates set to resume, the Scottish Government will fall in line and grant football a return on 1 August.  They will be able to cite supporting medical evidence, but, more importantly, there is no appetite to plough a lone furrow on this issue.

Covid testing kits and processes are more readily available now than a month ago, this situation will hopefully significantly improve before contact training resumes several weeks from now.  Premiership clubs must and will find the money to test, train and play games.

While Peter Lawwell has been invited to the videoconference, it has been made clear to representatives from the Scottish Government, the SFA and the SFPL that the technology does not allow him to sign autographs.

Ann Budge relentless drive to win friends and influence people continues unabated.  Jim McInally, now manager at Peterhead, said of her reconstruction plan, “It’s just not true that no club has been disadvantaged. It just shows a total disregard for other clubs.”

In a statement that verges on presidential (US presidential, that is), Budge told Sky Sports News, “My understanding, although I could be wrong, is if the situation was deemed to be sufficient of an emergency, that the board can choose to implement a change. That’s what I have been told, but it’s hearsay, I’ve not read the rules to that level of detail.”

She’s not read the rules, it “could be hearsay” and she could be wrong.  It is unfathomable how Hearts have performed so poorly under her stewardship.  Still, at least she’s charming Hearts future opponents.

  1. Good luck to Jonny Hayes gave a good shift every time he played and loved the team.

     

     

    I would give Taylor some time i think he will come good.Just maybe he could get some help our defence gets exposed to often, in scotland not punished but europe against good teams is a different story.IMO

  2. Prof Jason Leitch on the Off the Ball this afternoon telling people not to count their chickens regarding any form of football starting up again on 1st August. So for those of us, Big G, who thought the SPFL acted prematurely in calling the leagues think again.

     

    He also pointed out that meeting relatives doesn’t mean you can rip the arse out of it and have a 6+ hour BBQ. He pointed out the last thing we need is to move too quickly into the next phase and end up in lockdown again almost immediately.

     

    Takes a good dental professional to tell it as it is. 😉

  3. Getting close to kick-off time.

     

    For those who haven’t already get your CQN Predictor choices for Round 5

  4. Tansbell & Big Wavy, from a bit earlier,

     

    Obviously it is a Blog & it’s all about opinions but Hickey is still only seventeen, the fact he has been playing top flight football since he was 16 & has 24 top flight games under his belt already is some achievement for a kid.

     

    I did see a post from BGFC a couple of days back saying neither him or Wee BGFC rated Hickey, I know the 2 Bhoys attend almost ever games and I tend to take notice of lhads like that,

     

    I simply don’t know enough about him to give an opinion but I would be very slow to write off a kid at that age.

  5. I think Earnies point is that the host should address the issues before the majority give up on the site
