Weepy incompetent Newco, belligerent Hearts, be Good to each other

808

The SFA’s statement last night clarifies the immediate future of the game, or lack thereof.  No training will be permitted until at least the 10 June and the professional game can start 6 weeks after training.  Without the lockdown being extended, the earliest behind closed doors football game can take place on 22 July.

It would be possible to complete the Premiership by 19 August.  Today’s proposal by the SPFL keeps this option on the table.

The new league season would need to start immediately thereafter, games would almost certainly be played behind closed doors and Uefa would need to delay the start of Champions and Europa League qualification competitions until the last week in August.  I think this is unlikely, but it remains possible.

I understand that Hearts, four points adrift at the bottom, are lashing out in every direction, but they would be better advised to try to win support for league reconstruction than go down the belligerent route.  Maybe Ann Budge should have retained the bonus scheme and avoided all this stress.

Newco’s anger is a pale shadow of what we saw during the Traynor statement years.  It’s all a bit limp for my palette. I like my Newco statements frothing with anger, typed while standing in fermenting urine-soaked shoes with flute music blaring in the background.  Don’t judge me.

Today’s “legal advisor did not deem our Members Resolution as competent” is so weepy all I feel is pity.

This afternoon’s SPFL vote can change only details for Celtic.  The real battle was to make this season Null and Void and our incompetent friends across the city were chased out of town for that suggestion.  Celtic will be champions; nine-in-a-row is ours, whether achieved on the field or after Uefa issue advice to national associations.

It’s also interesting to watch the paranoia triggers.  Our own sufferers’ gas will be at a peep for a while, whereas Newco’s conspiracy theorists were born for these times.  Do not be like any of them, just because the tide goes against you, doesn’t mean The Man is out to get you!  You’re just a little anxious.

I know this is a Terrible Good Friday, but be Good to each other today – and stay indoors all weekend.

    Just catching up with today’s SPFL farrago.

     

     

    If the vote was 10 to 1 in the top division, then who of rangers* or Hearts rejected the proposal and who abstained?

  6. Melbourne Mick on

    Was catching up ( again ) with the quiz, Oz is usually sleeping when

     

    it’s live, and really enjoying some of the questions, and it brings some

     

    memories back.

     

    Was doing o.k then inevitably cancelled because of the ads etc.

     

    So good try Marc, maybe next week.

  10. fairhill bhoy on

    THELURKINTIM-it will never happen. But you could ask BADA or philbhoy for their opinion or a few others .What do you think 🤔

  11. Macjay congratulations on your promotion to role of PA to HT and your Traynor-esque reply at 7:24 yesterday

     

    Not sure why ‘muslim deities’ were mentioned, but that was the high point of my morning and made me laugh, although I’m not 100% certain that was the reaction you had hoped for

  12. “ only Hearts and Rangers of the 12 clubs rejecting the resolution”

     

     

    This is from The Scotsman report on the vote among premiership clubs.

     

     

    You have to question the intelligence of Scottish journalism when something as demonstrably untrue as this gets printed.

  13. DUNDEE ?

     

    Apparently Dundee Chairman “Helms” ( I think) had planned to vote against the SPFL Proposal, and at the last minute was unsure what to do ?

     

    So it may not be such a bad thing that he has hesitated for now, as he later MAY decide that the SPFL Proposal makes more sense for all club after all, despite it giving Dundee Utd the League Title Now ?

     

    I hope that I have this right ?

     

    As for the 28 Days “scenario” for Clubs to vote…..I fully expect The Huns to destroy at least One Rainforest with their “Proposals and Statements” each and every day ?

     

    LOL.

     

     

    The SPFL more or less accused the Huns of “Lying” with their statement that they had sent SEVERAL Emails to the SPFL before Thursday night…and The SPFL Claiming that they in fact only received ONE….at 10.18pm on Thursday night…have they Huns PRODUCED ANY Evidence to back up their claim…and do they INTEND to prove that the SPFL are lying ?

  14. Good morning CQN from a rain soaked Garngad

     

     

    No prizes no prize money, simples.

     

     

    D. :)

  15. Henriks last league game that I watched last night…Yes, he did have a bit of mare…but as he said in his interview afterwards ” I was SWINGING at everything”….in his desperation to score in his last appearance at Celtic park in The Hoops.

     

     

    That Bawbag gordon Smith claiming before the game in the studio that “The Hype over Larsson is over the Top etc”…..

     

     

    Not only was Henrik superb/Legend for the Hoops etc….but he didnt do too badly playing for Manure…and Barcelona…almost single handily winning Barca a Champions League Cup..and completely turning his teams fortune around that night against Arsenal when coming on as a Sub !

     

     

    IF Morelos is worth £20/£30/£40 MILLION….What price would Henrik be in Todays Transfer Market ?…..if we leave aside the problems that this Virus may be causing to any Transfer dealings .

     

     

    I STILL get shivers whenever I hear the music “The Magnificent seven” being played….16 YEARS on !

     

    What a Player…What a Pro…What a Bhoy….he had “EVERYTHING”….Skill on the ground, and in the air where he could “Hover”…Pace, Great Attitude…. and Bravery in abundance….You couldnt ask for more in ANY Player…and we had this Legend for 7 Years…all you can do is enjoy looking back at those fantastic 7 years that he gave to Celtic.

     

    HH to Henke..The King of Kings.

     

     

    HH
