SFA take correct decision

278

Based on the estimates of the Chief Scientific Advisor of the actual (not confirmed) number of carriers in the country right now, and allowing for the current daily increase, we could expect between 10 and 20 carriers at Ibrox on Sunday.

Those carriers shout and sing, projecting their breath particles several meters into the vicinity of dozens of people each.  When goals are scored, fans embrace, heartily.  Everyone touches their face.  Football games on this scale, where goals are celebrated, would rattle coronavirus through the population quicker than any other gathering.  More people would die as a result.

The SFA made the right decision.  They acted ahead of two hesitant governments, both of whom wanted this game to go ahead.

Let’s look after each other.

………..I had a piece prepared on the Adidas deal; maybe tomorrow.

  1. Watched the movie Contagion tonight, amusing how much it matches the last month or so. There were bats and toilet rolls.

  2. Hi CQN, it’s been a while, although I have no issues with Paul67s headline, I just do not ever trust the SFA.

     

     

    With the suspension of Scottish fitba and the unending financial woes of the Sevco, this would be a great time for an administration event. Minus points in a league that is going to be awarded to Celtic, lose the debt as another financial group buys the bricks n mortars, access debt free money to the max and beyond.

  3. David17 – re the possible good news from China…

     

    I saw footage this week of Xi Jinping visiting Wuhan, on walkabout meeting health workers. No way he would risk that unless it was on the wane. Also read that their basketball season will start up again in 2 weeks.

     

    So that’s roughly 4 months from initial outbreak to green shoots of recovery. And they had no prior warning or time to plan & prepare!

     

    So if we follow a similar timeline, we could expect good news by the end of June.

  4. I’d give up our title if it meant Liverpool losing it

     

     

    I work in Dublin do most people won’t understand how awful these pdeudo scousers are

  5. CONEYBHOY

     

     

    What?

     

     

    So not a Celtic fan then? That’s mental patter.

     

     

    Your desire to see Liverpool lose is stronger than your desire to see us win? You would give up 9IAR to see Liverpool lose the EPL?

     

     

    I don’t get that comment.

     

     

    Assume that was sarcasm?

  6. Canamalar – It just so happens to be the 40th anniversary of the erection of the Georgia Guidestones next week as well. Just a coincidence no doubt. o_O

  7. Good morning CQN from a dull, damp and overcast Garngad

     

     

    When are we getting announced 9IAR champions.

     

     

    SFA, for once be feckin brave and say if nothing has improved in say 4 weeks the season is over and league placings stand. European places stand etc. etc. and we can all move on.

     

     

    SC semis can be played before season starts or as soon as the beginning of the new season allows.

     

     

    Anything else is corruption of industrial scale.

     

     

    D. :)

  8. Nothing will be said until the 55 members of UEFA have their video conference next Tuesday so that they are all singing off the same hymn sheet. Most leagues will have completed >70% of their fixtures so Lenny’s formula of dividing points by games played is the correct formula and might throw up a couple of surprises for those with legendary ‘games in hand.’ 😉

  9. Tim Malone Will Tell on

    On another topic, just saw a headline in The Guardian – “Woman claims First Minister acted like a zombie”.

     

     

    Can we deduce from this that Alex Salmond’s idea of foreplay is to put on his Rangers scarf and sing The Billy Boys?

  10. Well,going by the outcome of the latest meetings of the clubs in England,it seems they have adopted the exact ideas I posted yesterday at 3.03.Ideas,that no one on here thought worth a mention.

     

    Anyway,good news for Celtic.

    This years Scottish Cup semi and final,played end of May if improvement in Covid.

     

     

    CJ NOVO hun wi a phone wants season declared void.

     

     

    MORE or less did not fail again to score against CELTIC.

     

    NO one tried to bomb his HONDa.

     

    NO huns players were thrown under any buses.

     

    NO criminal activities in DUBAI.

     

    GARY MAC did not bet his lights punched oot in LEEDS.

     

    ALL losing football bets are void.

     

    BROONY is not a year older.

     

    NO pistols pete did not get that bonus

  12. Shortie manage to do a piece on “Dire Financial Consequences”………..without mentioning thems……………………..

    Bye Bye Shortie Fitba Dept.

  13. Favorite Uncle,

     

    Many thanks for posting my wonderful,insightful,well thought out,hit the nail on the head,work of genius,article from yesterday.

  14. I would not compare the outbreak here to China. China used methods that no EU country will or could, that’s if you can trust their stats. I don’t think we’ll see football again for many months.

     

     

    We’re fortunate that Liverpool are runaway leaders in the prem, the EPL will not deny them their title. Scotland will find it difficult to not follow the English precedent.

  16. My take on what will happen at the UEFA video conference next Tuesday:

     

    UEFA will want its showpiece European competitions completed before the summer so that the money spinning competitions of Champions League and to a lesser extent Europa League are ready to go for season 20/21. This probably means leagues will not be extended. Will they declare the leagues null and void? I doubt it. Present league positions will have to be accepted and any team taking its national association to court will result in that national association’s teams being excluded from European competitions.

     

    The Euros will be sacrificed on the altar of Mammon and moved to next year when COVID-19 will have no affect the attendances and money spun.

    Don`t get the impression that this health issue is going to disappear any time soon .

    I work in Dublin do most people won’t understand how awful these pdeudo scouse

     

     

     

    That’s the most ridiculous statement I have heard from a while. Celtic fan? You must be joking.

  19. No football, no CQN coupon, no POTY emails to collate, but apparently bucket loads of housework.

  20. So with no football for the foreseeable future I thought I’d talk to the wife. Just found out she’s been made redundant from Woolworths.

  21. Has Slippy had anything to say about whether Liverpool should be denied the League championship?

  22. Ernie

     

    Maybe he’s in coneybhoy’s camp that he’d rather stop us than see Liverpool win. 😨

    In terms of precedents i.e. legal minds having to make a decision based solely on what information they have to hand ——- Alexander Tonev – GUILTY – based on the……the “BALANCE of PROBABILITIES”

     

     

    (Alexander Tonev on loan from Villa, was found guilty and given a 7 game ban – because Shay Logan complained to the ref he made a racist comment toward him – no one else heard any racist remark – just Shay Logan)

     

     

    Well on the BALANCE OF PROBABILITIES we were without a shadow of doubt all set to win league title number 9.

     

     

    I’m sure the rest of Scottish football will agree …

    Lol ! A very good question !

  25. On a brighter not the flowers are starting to bloom as I look out my front window to the garden and communal space and all the little flowers are coming through and some purple thingy is out.🌱🌿🌾

     

     

    Feck sake……….I’m away to watch re runs of the wins against Sevco to cheer me up.

     

     

    D. :)

  26. If at all possible :- I would prefer to delay, rather than cancel the outstanding games for as long as it takes , even if it means indefinitely postponing the start of next season.

     

    I want to see us win 9 then 10, fairly, squarely and on the park.

     

    I do not want to see season 2019 / 20 with an asterisk against it. The huns will love that and the ambiguity it will bring.

     

     

    Our club is in good shape to withstand even the most severe financial consequences, even Sidney Tim would have to concede that point.

     

    That’s without any new cash injections from sponsorship or from next year’s ST sales.

     

    I renewed last Thursday and if circa 20,000 supporters did likewise that’s about £10 m coming into the club.

     

     

    Given the huns may have a similar ST scinerio, talk of impending financial Armageddon is premature.

     

     

    HH to all, the journey has presently stalled.
