Test & Trace does not add up if you are Celtic

325

When Stuart Armstrong tested positive while on Scotland duty, Ryan Christie and two others in the squad were forced to isolate, missing important club games.  Christopher Jullien’s diagnosis led to the most extraordinary day in a Test and Trace lab in Scotland, resulting in 13 players forced to remain at home during the decisive stage of the season.

John Fleck’s diagnosis on Scotland duty resulted in no one being told to isolate.

I heard what happened in the lab when Jullien came in positive – the extraordinary focus on interpreting potential exposure.  I have seen photos from inside the plane journeys there and back – the extraordinary distances some forced to isolate were from source.

With media chat full of ‘Fergal Harkin for Celtic director of football’ speculation for months, you (and I) would be forgiven for thinking Man City’s Partnerships and Pathways (don’t ask me) manager was a serious candidate for the job.

Not so, I was assured last night.  And yes, I did let it be known that while getting the cream of the world’s talent to pitch up in sunny Glasgow can be a challenge, staying ahead of the game on persistent stories like this is easier.

  1. See if we had an approval rating (percentage) for Celtic CEOs and we limited it to, just say, season ticket holders and Celtic TV subscribers, what does anyone think Peter Lawwell would score right now based on his entire employment?

     

    I have a figure in my head that I think but would genuinely love to know what others think.

  2. S.O.A.L

     

     

    good to see you on? you ever heard tell of that BT fella?

    He is still a doormat but still a great guy

     

     

    Love

    Burnley 78- the football review was announced in December, we are now 100 days with no manager…….sheer incompetence from Lawwell, and arrogance. Move it to Desmond, he should have sacked the both of them,and you’re quite happy to back Lawwell?

    ‘Your mission against PL will fail…’

     

    ‘The thing is your attempt to “hate him up” isnt working’

    Have a peek onto the huddleboard, kerrydale st and sentinel celts sites.

     

    The first 2 have lots of contributors.

     

    You will soon see the opinions of Lawwell.

     

    What I say about him is as mild as you can get compared to the comments on those sites.

     

    He has a small number of Lawwellites who are willfully blind to everything he’s done, mostly on this site.

     

    The old board of the Kellys, Grants and Whites had the same, no matter what they done a few diehards backed them too.

    Steve Clark looks like Ming the merciless

    in my locality i said😊.the area,the schools,the parish.same as he grew up in.same as our accountant currently.your grabbin wind attempting to portray him as a hun.it is funny but untrue.

    ===========================

     

    Have to agree.

     

    Even today on the huddleboard people were still in an unforgiving mood about Judas Johnston, Desmond White and Michael Kelly all these years later and when more comes out, as it always eventually does, about Lawwell’s devious part in RES12 and 5WA then I can see him never being forgotten too.

    Lambo … Brendan legged it without looking back , nothing to do with the Board

     

    ——————————————–

     

    The relationship between Lawwell and Rodgers had broken down completely.

     

    The accountant Lawwell making himself unofficial director of football caused it.

    cheers

     

    i can imagine opinion varies.

     

    i know plenty on Hb kds and Sc

     

    they are all Celts i dont need to question

     

     

    the numbers of contributors does not matter.

     

    its quality of output

     

    that for me is with other posters and their differing views(if you want all to think the same look at the hun).it is a brilliant forum given by Paul for us to debate Celtic.

     

     

    As i say i have heard locals tare into him better than anyone sitting with thethimbles on typing out their view.i look for quality of post not quantity of numbers

     

     

    “lawellites” – geeza break! tragic stuff.thats Celtic fans.

     

     

    You err if you think those who defend our Ceo are in any way shape or form like those who took our club to within minutes of bank foreclosure in 1994.

     

    The strength of our capital base is slightly° different.°night and day.

  20. Big Craig Gordon must go home at night and thank god that Roy Keane had a brainstorn and signed him for millions otherwise he’s Henry Smith.

     

    A terrible player… 3 shots on target- 2 goals

     

    Not as bad as the PSG v Celtic game where they had 8 shots on target and scored 7.

     

    Poor goalkeeper.

     

    Surely Nisbett and Ferguson and Fraser should be signed for around £10m? …less of a gamble than Shved, Klimalla etc

  21. Laxalt – we saw a familiar Gordon tonight. Absolutely brilliant reflex save then flapping at crosses and rooted to spot at free kick.
