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.

If it would mean you only having to plan 2 new rounds for next week I’d say we call it after round 2. I may have done OK in that round but SFTB’s lead is so big at the top that the league should be called based on the current positions. That’s what happens, isn’t it?
sorry bhoys, this is annoying the hell out of me. im out.
Sorry CRC
Aaaaaa forgot about the quiz….
Give Jobo his 2nd place money now :-)
Yes I agree, lets postpone the quiz and hopefully it will be better next week.

To whom it may concern…was the childhood game called Billy Goats Gruff…something about crossing a defended imaginary bridge you had to cross?

BT-my dad used to go up to the wee dram every night at 10oclock during the week.At the weekend it was the wee dram and bowling club .At the end of lent it was vigil mass so he could hit the wee dram.He could have a beer and hauf every night but could stop for lent no problem.Did it with fags to,easy.He stopped both before the 90s and now lectures me on drinking 😉
TTT, gotta admit I was more emotional 2nite than I was at the time…I blame the onions I was chopping for my Fajitas ;-))

Dundee confirm they have not voted on league proposals
GORDYBHOY 64-and one day soon I’ll get both right 😉
Wee question mate,if you have took bets on Celtic winning league by ten or more,what happens now
BT-is that Mick that did the boys fitba.
FB,
at the minute i guess we are guided by what the league does,
but i imagine all bets will be void if its not played to a conclusion.
GORDYBHOY 64-so you’re wanting void then😉Shocking 😉
GORDYBHOY 64-I have a bet with a Hun pal that we would canter it by 10 at least.😡

The adverts on here are getting ridiculous. It’s 5 mins scrolling down through thrash adverts to get to the comments.

turn off javascript on your browser
I use Firefox and open a private window,
never have any problems with adverts.
Oasis at the Barras was council telly channel 11…finishes in 8 mins
Honestly boys duckduck go has been a godsend to me, no adverts or having to continue to log in
Apple is my choice of weapon
I use Incognito browser with javascript off..zero ads…only downside is you need to c&p any links and go to chrome
BT-I played for Mick and Austin for about 5mins😉
Mick’s boys Mick and chic are pals of mine.Dont see them often,usually in the auldehoose.
The last time I seen chic was just after his mum had past away.
If you drank in the auld hoose you will know Joe

Let’s- you’re just guessing mate.

wasnt really my point
my point is that that situation will exist whether the next games that are played are the last games of this season or the first games of next season
Sky 252 ,on a +1 channel

Turkeybhoy was bang out of order that day.Although I usually agree with the nugget 😉
