Uefa need champions to be nominated

233
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

You and I have known for a while that the chances of football resuming to allow domestic and European seasons to conclude by the end of June are zero.  Uefa almost certainly knew this too before their videoconference meeting with the national associations last week, but they agreed to setup a working party to explore all options before issuing a decision.

As the virus spread, what was unthinkable only a few days earlier becomes the accepted norm.  By the time the working party reports, almost everyone in Europe will know football across the continent will be in lockdown until at least August.  Before then, transcontinental travel will be irresponsibly dangerous, so there is no chance of staging Champions and Europa Leagues finals in June.  These outstanding games, like the three remaining Scottish Cup ties, can take place anytime, even after the start of next season.

As we discussed two weeks ago, and today’s Daily Record reported “a source close to the discussions”, leagues and associations across Europe have asked Uefa to issue clear guidelines on what to do with their domestic competitions.  Whatever happens, many will be unhappy across Europe, but if Uefa guidelines are followed, outcomes will be transparent and free of interference.

What football needs now is money and the biggest pot available to much of the continent is from Uefa competition.  Heaven and earth will be moved to ensure the Champions and Europa Leagues will take place next season, ensuring TV and sponsorship income flows as usual.

For this to happen, Uefa will need champions to be nominated.  It is not how we wanted nine-in-a-row, but we all have more to worry about that football glory right now.

    Passing away these isolation days reminiscing old games with other bhoys. Like 27 November 1980, I’m totally pished and fall asleep once game begins. I wake up to see Charlie Nick score what I think is the winner, goes mental. Bhoy behind says something like…. we are four nil down ya arse😱😵

    sorry but i am for giving the other teams nothing

     

    many of them would rather have their ground sitting

     

    empty than sell us tickets when we play there,

     

    there was also no support for Celtic when it came to resolution 12,

     

    let them stew in their own juices.

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    Just started reading back , so condolences to Kickinthenakas, and

     

    Canamalar, so sad bhoys, stay strong for your family.

     

    Caught up with the hit list there, hopefully when this terrible crisis

     

    is over these evil companys and vile people will be long remembered

     

    by us all.

    I couldn’t agree more.

     

     

    If they all go bust we could apply to the english league. I’m sure they would see us as a cash cow to help recover their losses. As we would be a stand alone club with no excess baggage, if you take my meaning. I can see the welcome mat from here.

     

     

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

    The latest as I understand it the target is approximately €600 short…

     

    I realise these are tough times for us all. Celticrollercoaster is reaching out TET with a view to making a collective donation. So many of our lives are affected presently with Covid-19 and this is another sad story. So if any of you have not donated and are able to please get in touch with CRC.

     

    Until we meet again…

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

    kudos James ,you had my eyes dewing up with the aul times on CQN and

     

    remembering Wee Oscar and Kano.

     

    Just perhaps in this period of crisis we can get back to those halcyon days and

     

    respect one another.

     

    It’s what the Celtic family does.

    Canman & Kickinthenakas, sincere condolences to you both on the loss of your faithers. Wee candle lit in my kitchen, wee prayer said.

     

     

    SHUTDOWN

     

    No such thing happening in Glasgow. It’s been seen as a holiday by too many. Pisses me off to come off a train, cross footbridge over canal and along the canal, groups, couples, joggers, cyclists…out in force.

     

     

    City centre is relatively quiet, would be different if shops open.

     

     

    Police presence at Queen St station. Stopped. Asked if travel was business or personal. Low key now but was aware it was just me and 2 cops. Coroboration? No witnesses about. When it gets worse, and it will, I have no faith in Police Scotland behaving correctly. (They probably just read that on here).

     

     

    Just watched news, DWP getting it right for not being able to handle nearly half a million new applications to benefit. This on top of existing claimants means system at breaking point.

     

     

    All backroom staff being pulled in to help around the country. AOW been tasked with putting together traning for those called in. Liaising with big wigs down south.

     

     

    I want a wage rise. 😁

    Good morning CQN from a slightly damp and overcast but quite mild Garngad

     

     

    Reading back and we tend to think of the NHS as frontline services against this horrible virus and indeed they are, but to me it’s obvious that for some sort of society to perform there is an army of Civil servants working to get family’s cash to feed their family’s and pay for the roof over their head in this their darkest hour.

     

    There is loads more people trying to keep the country moving and an army of 405,000 volunteers for the UK. WOW. That’s probably more than we have in the actual army and reserves.

     

     

    In a nutshell thanks to the lorry drivers bringing our food and the shop staff working to keep us all fed.

     

    Thanks to the NHS

     

    Thanks to the Civil Servants

     

    Thanks to the Army of volunteers 405,000

     

     

    Humanity at its best
