I don’t know if Scotland have ever worn a poppy but I suspect the SFA have been landed in this issue against their will by association with the FA in England. Fifa have indicated it is a political symbol and prohibited its attachment to football shirts. The FA and SFA plan to disregard that ruling and wear the poppy anyway.
Deliberately defying the rules is laced with Moral Hazard for the SFA, which will not be lost on the decision makers at Hampden. For years to come this act will be cited as evidence of double standards. It provides evidence for those who object to its very recent inclusion in football ceremony on the basis that politics should have no place in football.
Of course, declining to follow the FA’s lead would be a political act in itself, but one which fell within the rules.
I’m firmly of the belief that politics (as opposed to values) should have no place in football. I know this is a utopian aspiration, as sport and politics are inextricably linked, but only because trumpets continually insist on making them so.

We are playing Dundee on Sat 17th Dec at 3pm.
Still I take your point about lack of Saturday homes games though some of that is due to cup success!
Well connected HamiltonTim has been subjected to the Celtic team leak.

I blame the SFA computer he’s called Campbell Baxter – sometimes known as Billy Two Soups.

I’ve heard his stock is high within Hampden.
Some of these soup puns are a bit con- veloutéd
The Battered Bunnet
A load of mumbo gumbo…
Quonno @ 3:27. I think.
In politics you pick your poison.
Why would Sir Robert protest a Catholic socialist uprising.
Now I’m no expert on the Portuguese political front
(If truth be told, I’m not an expert in any field :-) )
but my vague memories of the revolution was that it was bloodless and enabled the withdrawal of Portuguese troops from its colonies.

Regardless of his views of the reasons for armoured vehicles being on the streets, he should not have put Celtic in potential danger.

Just waiting Pho the right moment?
Politics in football.
I see the OBAF vote was a very narrow 1 vote win for its abolition.
So where do we go from here?
Is the act still going to be enforced?
Will it be reworded, repealed immediately or just ignored?
Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan
Hate to borscht your bubble but there are more than that…
It will be retained in a watered down form.
And we still never know what Ally said to Neil.

I don’t remember the specifics, sorry, but wasn’t the coup the previous year?
I had two new responsibilities taking up all my time and attention around the mid 70s.
boringsouprecipe
30g butter
2 shallots, finely sliced

2 large Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and diced finely
1.5l light vegetable stock

1tbsp chives, finely chopped

Regarding my last post.
There are two subjects that are totally verboten in the Scottish media.
1. What Ally said to Neil.
2. How can a new club retain old club’s trophies but be exempt from old club’s debts.
If you don’t believe me, try getting a letter on the above published.

It’s the conundrum of the unwritten British Constitution that leaves all of this open to debate, interpretation and question.
No-one voted for Brexit, the vote was to leave the EU. Possibly the elected representatives and Civil Servants should have made more of an effort and negotiated potential deals with Europe and then gone to the country. It was a throw-away promise by Cameron because he thought he would win it hands-down. He bet his political future and lost! Hee, Hee.
The most sensible thing you have said in weeks is that we should go for a pint!

Nigel Farage might not now get a peerage.
Find it impossible to understand anyone’s passion for baseball. More boring than cricket and that’s saying something.
Between that and brexit…. think i’ll look for somewhere the chat is about Celtic as i’m losing the will to live with the chat in here!
