Glasgow and Edinburgh have four stadiums with a capacity of 50,000 people or more: Murrayfield, Hampden, Celtic Park and Ibrox. Hampden will be under lease to Uefa at the time of the Scottish Cup Final on 22 May. This arrangement permits games to take place but prohibits fans from attending.
The Scottish Government (I’m not a fan, but to their credit), would almost certainly permit fans to attend, as their example-setters in London have already indicated they would do the same before that date. Given this opportunity to have thousands of fans at a showpiece game, if you were in charge of the SFA you would move it from Hampden to Celtic Park, Ibrox, Murrayfield (my preference). If necessary, you would move it to Cliftonhill to permit “the lifeblood of the game” to be in attendance.
However, you are not in charge of the SFA. Given a choice between holding the Cup Final with fans at another venue, or holding it at an empty Hampden, the Association decided on the latter option. These people!
Five Newco players were caught, red handed, breaking restrictions on Valentine’s Day. They are free to face Celtic on Scottish Cup duty next weekend, nine weeks later. Thanks to the SFA, suspensions will kick in days later. Celtic broke zero restrictions in January, but rules were changed on-the-fly by the aforementioned Scottish Government, forcing Celtic to play two games at a critical time of the season without 16 players.
Don’t try to wreck your brain looking for fairness or consistency here, you’re in Scotland, wise up.

The amount of GUFF from so called ” intelligent” Expert Royal Pundits on the Death of an old Racist on TV is to be avoided at all costs.
ITV s news caster Mary Nightingale asks a So called Royal ” Expert ” about Phils health and life ?
The ” Expert” talks about his Polo playing days and his Love of ” Carriage Riding”…..which kept HIM….FIT ?
How does sitting in a Horse carriage and holding reins keep anyone ” FIT” ?
They really treat us ordinary folk as being ” SIMPLETONS”….
Utter Tripe.
All TV folk dressed in BLACK….even the Weather Girl and the ITV Racing Pundits…including SIR Anthony McCoy who is Irish who sent his condolences to ” Her Majesty” straight away…..
Whos paying for his State Funeral…I wonder ?
HH.
Why don’t we dump The Tribute act out the cup then withdraw
The funeral.
Will it look like this?

To be fair to aul’ Phil the Greek I doubt he was a paid up Nazi (do any Royals pay for anything?) he was a self entitled clown and ignorant sod. His sisters were all Nazis though (well they all married one) and his wife’s uncle was also a Nazi, him not so much

Sir AP McCoy as big a West Brit as you’ll find.
As I understand it, those under consideration for for Imperialist honours are invited to advise whether or not they would accept such an offer before it is made.
Nobody forced AP to take a knighthood.

Crowds gathering at the Palace, I’m sure the cops will disperse them…..no?
========================
Crystal Palace?/ Eddie Howe appearing?
Paul67 you are on a run – I agree (again) with everything you say
On a different note (same subject) I was trying to explain the Huns Covid appeal to 4 mates (all English 2 support Arsenal one Tottenham one Derby County )
None of them accepted the facts all said I was being paranoid
This is what you are dealing with
The SFA is so out of touch people simply don’t believe you
If we were ever in any doubt about fairness and equality – there’s your dinner !!!!!

Arlene just announced there will be two days of national rioting in respect of the Dukes passing.
Ha Ha brilliant!

No 2 is a belter :-)))
Decided to have a wee read about the Coronation Cup as for some reason, i dont know what, must be one of those subtle subjective things, I keep hearing in my head “said Philip to Lizze as they sat down to dine”
Hibs beat Newcastle 4-0 at the Edwardian toilet block in the semi final, in goals for Newcaste was one Ronnie Simpson, upfront Jackie Milburn, Faithers career is just incredible, 300 games for the Toon 2 FA cup wins, an Olympic games, 11 trophies at celtic, SFWA player of the year in 67.

Very funny!
I really hope the royals dont breach protocols at the funeral. Otherwise, loyalists may riot in about 8 months time.
Itv have confirmed that the Grand National goes ahead as planned after the death of the Greek exile. .
WTF..
one royal correspondent has just came away with this cracker
“he could walk and talk in any crowd, while making people feel as ease but always knowing his place was behind the queen”
walk and talk, ffs,
where can i apply for the job, surely it will be advertised for equality reasons
Grand National definitely goes ahead, Betty has already stuck her ITV 7 on…
Ernie,
Absolutely brilliant.What is the Nazi occasion?
Royal funerals usually on a Saturday, the game will be off next week.

…………
Spot on.
As much as I admired Tony McCoy as a great Jockey…I tend to steer clear of much of what he says on TV, including his ” Tips”.
HH.
Big Jimmy
I find McCoy very guarded in his comments.
I think Walsh is improving as a pundit – he gives more insight from his own experiences and undoubted horsemanship
Of all the ITV mob I like the Irish fella Blake.
And the lovely Francesca.
So many posters getting so much joy out of an old man’s death. Oh dear.
Big Jimmy,
There’s an auld widow wumman doon in London just about to recieve a fantastic “Widdows Pension” She likes the horses and a wee nip, get yersell doon therr
Spandau Ballet – Thru The Barricades – on Ultimate 80’s Radio – as they pay their respect to Phil The Greek – Ironic, topical
A song about love prevailing throughout the violence and sectarianism of the Troubles, the song was inspired by the murder of Thomas Reilly, who had worked for the band, by a British soldier in Belfast during the Troubles on 9 August 1983. In 2015, songwriter Gary Kemp spoke to the Belfast Telegraph about his inspiration for it:

por cierto…
Slippy G starting to take the piss now, he said ‘in Dubai social distancing rules were clearly broken & nothing was done’
Now did we not have half the team self isolate on return and missed two games?
Slippy is saying what he’s told to say.
Stupid sod.
Prestonpans Bhoys
Never ever knew this Great Britain determined social distancing laws in Dubai
Suppose you learn something new every day
Like Slippy G,
car sharing on numerous occasions whilst this Great Britain policy was NOT to do so

You should have seen me celebrate when the Mass Murderer Thatcher fell aff her Broomstick for the final time.
We would like to thank
@Arsenal
for great reception and a fair-play game. We could see from the very beginning how big, successful and noble club they are. We are looking forward to meeting Arsenal in Prague and we will do our best to repay this hearty welcome.

1)You really think he is ONLY an old man ?
2) Comments re the sycophancy which abounds can hardly be described as `joy`.
