This morning’s CQN story on the discrepancy of how the SFA and Scottish Government treated Celtic, after Boli Bolingoli’s break of rules, and Newco, after their second breach, this one involving five of their players, illustrates what we are up against.
The SFA took 18 days to ban Bolingoli, whereas with Tavernier injured and a ban-awaiting Patterson the only remaining right back, the Association took 45 days to respond and issue their bans.
Nicola Sturgeon took to the podium to express her anger when postponing two Celtic games following the Bolingoli incident, whereas she had a Government spokesperson “commend” Newco for swiftly acting at their first incident. The second Newco incident saw the First Minister talk only about her ambivalence to “Celtic and Rangers [sic.]”.
If she does not see the disconnect between her words and actions it speaks volumes of what she is prepared to overlook. I am not a fan.

Don`t you think Paul`s point re a lack of even-handedness from both the Government and the SFA is fair?
I am, however, in agreement that this:
“Our next era can’t start without an open and honest admission on what happened.”
would help greatly.

‘Paul your relentless loyal crusade for the union is getting boring. I get that you are not a fan of independence.’

Surely even from the other side of the planet you can see that there has been a lack of consistency in the approach of the SNP government towards covid breaches by players of different clubs?
Obviously given your location you can afford to be fairly relaxed about the significance of that differential treatment and what it might mean for the future of public life in this country but those of us who live here and who have skin in the game might attach more importance to it.
Here’s the link to the programme BankieBhoy mentioned last night:

It’s about an eleven year old Limerick Bhoy, Pádraig, who does a weekly positivity ‘Paudcast’.
Very uplifting.
We have seen a taste of hun triumphalism over the last few weeks. I would hate to think they could be big fish in a wee pond.
Sleeping at the wheel seems very apt.

Stolen from twitter:
“What a quick year! April Fools Day already… or as rangers fans know it, the 55th of April”. por cierto

So if it’s to be Howe, I wonder what the delay was and why this couldn’t have been done in October when we were told Lennon was still in a job because there were no other candidates available…
