When this is all over do you think remembrance day should include ALL the front line NHS staff (not just docs and nurses) who without PPE continued to turn up in the face of an invisible enemy without question, I always see Fire brigade, Police, and Paramedics each year at remembrance, perhaps the NHS should be represented as a whole rather than paramedics (not criticizing the paramedics at all) just a thought to ensure we include all. I would like to see a red/ blue poppy this year when we get through this.

11 Apr 2020 01:24:11
No mate. As much as rememberence is for all the past n present soldiers of war.

I do think ( as an NHS front line worker) there could be a diff day for this. Your idea is bang on but as I say just a separate event. ( i also think it shouldn't be an NHS event. An essential worker event ( cleaners, deliveries, shoo workers etc)

11 Apr 2020 09:17:48
A Remembrance Day for doing their job?

I may be a cynic but when you sign up for a profession you sign up for the hard bits as well as the good bits.

A soldier knows that he may be killed, a teacher knows that it is a vocation as much as a job, a fireman knows that they will have to walk into an inferno and a healthcare professional should know that they are there to save lives no matter the situation.

There will be some who stand out from the others for exceptional work but mostly they are doing their day job with a bit of extra stress.

11 Apr 2020 08:36:07
TJBB. I agree with you mate. This IS a war, just an invisible enemy. With around 9000 deaths already it is a major emergency the like we will (hopefully) never see again peacetime. Why shouldn't a delegation of nurses, doctors and paramedics march along Whitehall along with the military and others? We owe them so much.

11 Apr 2020 10:01:27
"a bit of extra stress" even by your own standards DK that posts well off the mark. What about the delivery drivers and supermarket workers? Did they sign up to being exposed to the risks too? They all just a bit moany mate?

11 Apr 2020 10:10:19
What a lovely, caring person you seem to be DK19. Dear me, get a grip. Perhaps you'd like to do their job? You must be a Timmy.

11 Apr 2020 10:38:14
Also the fact there was national service for ww2 kind of throws a spanner in your argument.

11 Apr 2020 10:56:58
Morning Bears, sorry, wasnt trying to start an argument it was just a thought. We all ave different perspectives and opinions.

11 Apr 2020 11:07:22
As far as I have seen there is always a representative from the Medical profession at my local rememberance day parades, I have seen ambulance/ paramedic staff lay wreaths with the police, fire service representatives etc, Also I think there are nurses/ medicalstaff marching at the main parade at the cenotaph in London?

11 Apr 2020 11:41:46
tjbb no mate nothing wrong with showing a bit of compassion.

11 Apr 2020 12:09:48
TJBB. Your point was very well made, no need for an apology. People like DK must be the sort who go to the beach or park anyway despite warnings not to do so as it could cost lives.

11 Apr 2020 17:52:40
DK are you on drugs mate. Nurses and any key worker are not just doing there job. There going to work knowing there's a chance they will get that virus while trying to keep people alive. You are the only person I've seen that has undervalued what they do.

12 Apr 2020 08:27:57
Southend, I’m not undervaluing what they are doing but having been in hospital twice in the last few weeks I have seen that it is a calm and quiet place.

My cousin is a nurse and she says that work is much quieter than normal because most other things have been cancelled - lots of standing around waiting.

The media are great at sensationalism and jumping on bandwagons (our club knows all about that) but from what I have seen there is a lot of exaggeration.

No one is asking how many deaths in the U.K. last few weeks and doing a comparison against the average over the same period for the last five years.

10 Apr 2020 22:29:38
The most tainted 9 in a row ever, 3 titles when Rangers weren't in the LGE, then another title where the season didn't even finish lol.

11 Apr 2020 03:12:35
Never a truer word Shug🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

11 Apr 2020 09:13:08
Actually 4 when you weren't in the league, remember Motherwell beat you 6-1 in a play off? SHUG can you explain how it's Celtic's fault Rangers weren't in the top division?

11 Apr 2020 10:34:52
Shug,

Nobody and I mean NOBODY says the mahnks tainted titles was the Mhanks fault.

IT WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD NO SERIOUS COMPETITION FOR ALL THOSE YEARS.

Remember it was nearly always a two horse race wi Gers and the mhanks and that is the reason every club (the mhanks especially) bar one voted to make us extinct.

KARMA for them EH.

11 Apr 2020 10:51:38
My reply was meant for Gazo not Shug.

11 Apr 2020 14:06:38
Bluebilly we were third or worse in your nine in a row on 7 of the 9 titles, does that mean you had no competition and that those titles were tainted? We couldn't even get second in a two horse race.

Nobody voted to make you extinct, your debt and a failed CVA nearly made that happen however. The league followed the precedent set by Livingston's demotion a few years earlier.

And as for the actual vote, the lower league clubs knew you would have to follow Livi's path and travel through the divisions, a nice wee earner for all of them on the journey.

In other words they looked out for themselves first and last, something every club does, especially one who endlessly gets in debt to win some silverware.

10 Apr 2020 21:32:36
Hoping Kenny Dalglish gets well soon.

10 Apr 2020 22:26:55
Does football mean that much? this epidemic is a lot more serious than winning the league. Get well Kenny 🙏🙏🙏.

11 Apr 2020 08:48:28
John25, hear, hear, mate, a player,

11 Apr 2020 10:48:42
Kenny was a legend for Scotland (and Celtic and Liverpool) . Get well soon mate.

10 Apr 2020 20:23:39
Kenny dalglish tested positive for covid19 and is showing no symptoms that's scary.

10 Apr 2020 20:55:10
Saw that mate. Get well soon King Kenny!

10 Apr 2020 21:29:11
Finishing the league now, voiding the league. Not sure football is really that important just now with people dying every day, more and more folk catching the disease.
Hope king Kenny gets better 🤞.

10 Apr 2020 22:16:40
Coronavirus doesn't pick or choose, whether your Boris Johnson, King Kenny, medical staff or you and I. Let's still adhere to the government rules and not get complacent. Keep safe everyone.

10 Apr 2020 17:54:37
The Silence is deafening. Surely something going on behind the scenes, if the vote had gone through no probs surely the media would be all over it. Has Ann Budge turned up with a baseball bat. Any 'Heart supporters on here, would be absolutely fizzing if you get relegated.

10 Apr 2020 19:25:36
You can really see how the SFA have tried to force this through. Deadline of 5pm today was just what they requested and all the clubs actually have 28 days to think about it. Why would the SFA not want clubs to use the 28 days to scrutinise the plans.

10 Apr 2020 20:02:43
Nothing to scrutinise its a pretty straightforward vote. Some clubs might not be around in 28 days and your team is one of them. So time is not on everyone's side here.

Accept the 9 and stay safe.

10 Apr 2020 20:25:14
Your an expert on rangers finances as well as what's best for Scottish football Briggs?

10 Apr 2020 20:37:57
Well Rangers proposal was to release the cash just now and have more time to see how the situation unfolds before deciding the league.

Never mentioned anything about the 9 mate. I accept it's won but the consequences on those to be relegated or miss the chance of promotion/ playoffs based on thi, where the point margins are much closer deserves more scrutiny and consultation before decisions are made.

Everyone accepts football won't be played until end June at earliest and with Uefa due to make decisions then it makes sense to hold off.

10 Apr 2020 20:59:55
@grumpy i don't need to be an expert on your clubs finances, a blind man can see how much your club needs the cash. Beg beg begging for money to be paid out.

@hoey I. don't think this will get better any time soon things need wrapped up quickly for clubs to survive.

10 Apr 2020 21:09:08
Who said we where begging? . Rangers had the interests of the scottish game in mind not just our own club. Sick of supporters of other clubs thinking they know ours better. At least we stood up to be counted and gave another option.

10 Apr 2020 21:23:33
So that's a yes then?

10 Apr 2020 22:07:26
briggs desperate for a lay down so you don't get caught blackmailing clubs for survival money. Too Late!

10 Apr 2020 22:41:54
if its such a straightforward vote why is the spfl scuttering about like snakes, changing rules etc, 5pm then 28 days, releasing votes when vote has not concluded, releasing names to the press to put pressure on said teams, sutton in papers saying whoever votes this down their heads are on the chopping blocks, what a muppet.

10 Apr 2020 22:44:09
Briggs, we are sound financially.

10 Apr 2020 13:17:34
It doesn't really matter if they get the league title because it's tainted FUN FACT.

10 Apr 2020 13:56:03
Here is a TRUE Fact. Best team won the league and worst team will get relegated. Can't win 4 games and claim anything else.

10 Apr 2020 13:56:51
These tears are delicious. Happy Easter.

10 Apr 2020 14:39:22
Please tell us when you won the league.

10 Apr 2020 14:46:09
Fun fact is celtic haven't said a word about anything. It's your club that are bumping their gums. Sounds desperate to be honest.

10 Apr 2020 15:16:45
Desperate to do what? Finish the season, that's what we want c*lt*c haven't said a word about anything? Don't make me laugh.

10 Apr 2020 15:17:21
Fun fact- popcorn teeth was the first to come out and stake claim to the title as soon as lockdown began. About the same time other more classy managers refused to discuss it and focused on people's wellbeing during the pandemic. So your club have spoken plenty.

10 Apr 2020 15:23:34
Celtic haven't said anything. I know you lot like to ignore things like it never happened but come on to france mate.

10 Apr 2020 15:31:01
Show me a statement they have made then.

10 Apr 2020 15:32:23
A think yer man Lenny was first to come out and say they should be GIVING the trophy tae rahoops did he not you can have it if you win it but I don’t remember ra hoops winning it do you if so when was it 🤷.

10 Apr 2020 15:32:50
Your club haven't said anything Martinbhoy? You've been in self isolation for too long son! 😂
Lawwell, Lennon and Brown have all said they would stop the season now and take the tainted title. 👍
We've had the usual Tim cheerleaders in the media all say Celtic should be awarded an unearned tainted title. 👍
We've had the usual Tim apologists have their say on Celtic being awarded an unearned tainted title. 👍
Desperate? Only one club is coming across as desperate to get their hands on a tainted unearned title and it isn't Rangers. 👍
Hollicom are certainly earning their corn from their Celtic paymasters. 👍.

10 Apr 2020 15:55:19
No they didn't you have trouble reading, show us the quote saying stop the league now.

10 Apr 2020 15:56:10
True fact Briggs. You haven't actually won the league! 👍.

10 Apr 2020 15:56:39
Because lennon said 3 weeks ago. Is that all you have. What have they said. Nothing. Sick of hearing celtic this celtic that. They haven't said a thing. No statement no nothing. Statement o'clock at ibrox nearly every day. Its shambolic and embarrassing. I'd be worried at the desperation.

10 Apr 2020 16:27:18
Just about everybody in a B. O stinking Celtic shirt has had their say. Back in your box Martin. You've got an empire biscuit Martin, there was no snowballs Martin!

10 Apr 2020 16:32:56
"NEIL Lennon last night insisted Celtic will deserve to be crowned Scottish champions for a record-equalling ninth consecutive occasion if this season’s Ladbrokes Premiership is abandoned due to the coronavirus pandemic. " The full article is in the Herald dated 14th March.
Make sure you get back to me bhoys.

10 Apr 2020 17:21:25
Yes come on lads it’s very easy to copy and paste from your phone etc. Let’s see this Celtic statement. or Scott browns or Peter Lawwells! When games got cancelled in March NL was asked what would he want if no more league games were to be played and he quite rightly said Celtic should get the title.

10 Apr 2020 18:20:07
See that word IF.

10 Apr 2020 18:52:38
Will I copy liewells statement too? You said yous havn' t said a word no statements? Yous are actually and embarrassment.

10 Apr 2020 17:31:43
Celtic statement

10 Apr 2020 19:33:50
Best quote from it Lawell "With regard to the present domestic Premiership League situation, our strong preference is, of course, to complete all remaining matches".

What's changed, why is this position which is exactly the same as what Rangers are saying now so awful and unsporting?

10 Apr 2020 19:19:32
Jyf. You have not shown us any statement. just soundbites. c'mon copy and paste or post a link for all to read. This can be in a newspaper or on celtic fc website, not what's in your head.

10 Apr 2020 19:26:24
Everyone connected with Celtic have been desperate to get their grubby hands on a tainted unearned title since the virus started, all the expense of the people of Scotland’s misery. 👍 No shame! 😷.

10 Apr 2020 19:58:22
Mr Lawell said: “With regard to the present domestic Premiership League situation, our strong preference is, of course, to complete all remaining matches. To date, we have had a magnificent campaign, undefeated in this calendar year, completing 30 league matches already to create a commanding lead and we are now on the cusp of winning our ninth successive title.

“As many have already said, the season cannot be voided as the consequences of that are so severe. In the event that the matches cannot be completed, then the responsibility to find a fair and reasonable solution for the finalisation of all domestic leagues will be with the Scottish football governing bodies.

Nopedon't read anywhere in that statement of anybegging or demanding of a title. This only belongs in the heads of The Rangers International fans. Totaly deluded and make stuff yp to suit their agendas. Very very sad indeed. Here comes the 10👍.

10 Apr 2020 20:02:43
Briggs can you not read?

10 Apr 2020 20:08:26
Going by that STATEMENT Celtic will have voted no today. After all their "preference" is to finish the league?

10 Apr 2020 20:09:48
You're denying that lemmon made that statement brigs? You really are in denial.

10 Apr 2020 21:03:00
Yes I can read. Where does it say the league should be given to celtic

10 Apr 2020 11:36:22
I can’t see 8 championship clubs voting to end the season and the Spfl motion will be declined. Which wouldn’t be a bad thing.

I wouldn’t have a problem with giving all the clubs their prize money now on their current positions and if the season does get to finish on the playing field, then the Spfl would need to sort out the difference in money if league positions change. The league positions shouldn’t change too much in 8 games.

It means all 4 leagues can wait as long as possible to get the games played.
It would only take 4 weeks maximum to finish the leagues. Cancel this seasons playoffs and the Scottish cup can be played to a finish as a curtain raiser for the new season later on.

UEFA want the leagues to be finished by August the 3rd. The Scottish league needs to be finished by the end of July because the new 5 year Sky deal starts in August.
Taking into account the clubs would have received their prize money to help them survive, the vote should be if football in Scotland has not started by July then the league positions stand as they are.

It would mean the Spfl have done everything in their power to both help all clubs financially and it also gave all the clubs the best possible chance of finishing the season off.

The Spfl and the Sfa must think it is not possible for football to start up again before August if they are trying to push this motion through in April.

10 Apr 2020 13:09:47
Easy answer . cancel it no winners no losers . split the money . give the TVs a reduction fir next season . what’s the problem . A horse race gets cancelled during race . no winners . losers . why are we fumbling about just to please the east end .? Shocking.

10 Apr 2020 13:40:30
Why would you get money if there are no winners and no losers. Money is paid by sponsors etc for a competition with. Wait for it winners and losers. Stop being so thick.

10 Apr 2020 14:30:58
Buzz I agree with most of what u say, null in void should never be an option.
I’d aggregate the money per division and divide it equally between teams in that league.
Award leagues 22 July no relegation
Some people on here wanted to sack SG as gers had lost league.

10 Apr 2020 14:37:13
The point being they'll be no winners as no one has won anything.

10 Apr 2020 14:38:32
Molsgoals, hear, hear mate, this is how it will be until other clubs stand up to this cabal.

10 Apr 2020 14:41:34
The problem is there is no easy answer. Its not just to please Celtic because there will be countries all over Europe declaring Champions early.
It is easy to name horse racing to back up your argument but the same could be said about the Grand Prix or golf to go against your argument.
Giving the tv’s a reduction is not an option because the BT contract runs out this season. You also can’t split the money if it’s null and void so once again that is not an option.
Everything you have demanded in your comment is to suit your own club and your demands are extremely unrealistic.

10 Apr 2020 14:42:26
And your own point says it all briggs winners and losers of which there is none mathematically as yet so what's your next point going to be? The grass is green the sky is blue over to you?

10 Apr 2020 16:05:44
So buzz if the grand prix gets stopped the one in front wins? I don’t think so . The prize money is in place the sponsors sponsor football . what’s the prob splitting between all the teams helping the smaller clubs thru theses crazy times . I am sure with the same assumptions of your argument BT are due to payout for all the games surely they won’t be happy paying a full price for a 3/ 4 product . How can teams be relegated in an unfinished competition ? Absolute nonsense . if you cannot see that well fir me there’s the prob . shocking way to treat fellow professionals.

10 Apr 2020 17:31:06
what does the money get paid for if there is no winners or losers? This would mean a void campaign. so no money! And yes the grass is green unless it’s ibrox where it is brown and muddy.

10 Apr 2020 18:24:13
Sponsors sponsor for publicity. the publicity they would get for helping Scottish football would be immense .
Every club in the world has pitch prob at some point
That pitch was laid new Lonend if last season but because of the crazy weather didn’t settle simple
But if it floats your boat to beat us with that stick go for it, but it’s obvious who’s the 🤡lol.

10 Apr 2020 08:46:13
So the big vote is today to decide what we do with league titles! I am trying to get our side of it as we want Title played to a finish or nul and void but want the cash distribution now. But surely if the League is nul, there is no cash to lay out to the clubs! In my opinion all the Leagues should finish now with whoever is top given Title with an asterisk! What's your thoughts guys? ✌️🇬🇧🌈.

10 Apr 2020 10:18:49
Yately,

Let's wait an see, but if you insist, my opinion still is the mhanks control Scottish football so another tainted title gifted to them by them for them is guaranteed my friend.

10 Apr 2020 10:36:01
bigger issue is relegation and promotion imv. In all Fairness, you cannot relegate hearts or ather sides when they could very easily not be relegated. last pile of games are against the bottom sides and hearts have the strongest squad etc. Utd (like or hate) have a right to be promoted.

All this is much closer and more of an issue than the slim to very slim chance we would catch Celtic.
after saying that if they get it they won't have won it.

10 Apr 2020 11:57:08
See Budge has budged after all and won't take court action when mhanks get awarded tainted title.

Rangers should follow suite and save our cash as no judge in this land would overturn the decisionn to let them have the title .

I personally don't know any judges who are rangers supporters.

10 Apr 2020 14:31:55
Blue billy were u not one on here who wanted S.G. sacked as we had lost the league.

10 Apr 2020 18:44:35
No I always said he should be given till end his contract or if we won nothing on third season he would probably quit by himself John25.

10 Apr 2020 06:56:49
I'll say it as plainly as I can for them so they can understand. It's simple the league has been stopped early we all know why. Nothing has been won or decided officially. You can't hand out medals to teams and say there champions when they haven't won anything.

Same goes for relegating teams when there not officially mathematically down. I'm sorry but that's the way it is simple. I'll say this though if the shoe was on the other foot that lot would be going crazy if we were to be announced champs.

IMO, the only options are 1 play every game if possible. 2 if not then you have to void and start again that's only fair .3 I'm not against reconstruction but do it for the right reasons for the good of the game in Scotland and not for the reason just to make Celtic champions.

If for any reason they do make them champs then it will always and forever be the league you never won. In fact they should come out and say officially look we haven't won anything here we don't want to be announced champions under these circumstances . Yes?

10 Apr 2020 10:24:11
Of course you are correct Robbie, but we'd be just as well to accept the SFA is all about the mhanks (in my opinion that is) .

Is the Italian mafia run by the vatican? .

Is the day after Monday a Tuesday.

10 Apr 2020 16:07:06
Yeah celtic run scotish football, can we have pur paranoia back please,? 😁😁.
