Just heard, skysport news .
Ross mcrorrie tests positive for coronavirus.



24 Mar 2020 19:05:30
Sports direct worker leaked that that fat sleaze Ashley was profiteering if his shops got too stay open he sent the stores price changing ranging from sticking another £10 on a dartboard etc.



25 Mar 2020 07:05:17
Wouldn’t mind if the dartboard came with a picture of his face on it 🎯.



25 Mar 2020 10:15:46
Was also on the news last night and he has upped his prices on everything by up to £20 .

He says the prices are still lower than the MRRP .

The MRRP is a fake valuation and is only used to make the current selling price look better than it is. (not just by him tho) .



25 Mar 2020 17:31:23
nearly as bad as that Pratt from weatherspoons, nearly,



24 Mar 2020 19:03:03
Ross McCrorie has tested positive best wishes to the big man n to all those affected.



24 Mar 2020 22:46:16
All the best to young Ross, the stat's that came out today are actually showing that a higher % of under 40's are getting this damn virus, stay safe everybody.



24 Mar 2020 18:36:07
I have an idea re the awarding of the Scottish leagues. Why don't the SFA award this seasons leagues champions, premiership, league 1, 2, 3, etc to all fans and donate the various prize money to all the families that have lost love ones to this horrible virus. Help families meet funeral costs ect. Fans give so much to their individual clubs, maybe the best time for all the clubs to give back.
Also rename the league cup to the fans cup and donate the prize money every season to a children charity.



25 Mar 2020 09:15:52
great idea but possibly be redistributed to the clubs who may not be around next season to compete.



25 Mar 2020 13:24:56
Here is a brief history of Rangers in the past 30 or so years and yes you are the same club to save the salivating masses getting excited by that revelation.

Under Murray you spent a fortune and got massively into debt to win "The big cup". It never materialised. Then when Celtic finally got themselves sorted out on the park (O'Neill onwards in the most part), Rangers embraced EBT's because the banks were no longer giving them blank cheques. The club goes into liquidation in 2012 and spends an absolute fortune in the lower divisions. Division 3 prize money £30,000 - McCoist's wage £825,000 as the perfect case in point.

Another huge loss in Division 1, followed by two huge losses in the Championship followed by four seasons in the SPL where the club were 3rd, 3rd, 2nd and most likely 2nd again. Oh and for the record the financials of those seasons were loss, loss, loss and needing £10m to see the season out.

I'd say you have overspent the guts of £60m to £70m in the past 8 years, not to mention the huge debts under Murray and the financial doping that was EBT's. For what in the past 8 seasons? Not one SPL title, Scottish Cup or League Cup, admittedly there was a Division 3 title, a Division 1 Title, a Championship title and one solitary, glorious, Petrofac Training Cup victory. Now maybe I'm cynical but I don't think that's great for a £60m to £70m overspend in Scottish football.

And here is the rub, this club spends to win, overspends to win, Murray with Laudrup's and Gascoigne's. Celtic's emergence prompting the signing of Flo etc then when the banks bailed EBT's were used on Ferguson, Numan, Boumsong to name a few of the 80 employees. Division 3 saw a ludicrous £700,000 spent on David Templeton. £500,000 on O'Halloran in the Championship, Barton in the SPL wasn't cheap and the not so well spent £7m on Ryan Kent in the past season.

This was and is all done for silverware, let's not kid ourselves on that, is its only reason, so please save me the magnanimous claptrap Stewartyblue and others, there is no way in the world that a club who overspends to that degree for success would happily forego a 13 (potentially 10 point) lead for "the fans" to get the titles, utter garbage. Save it, you are your club's fiscal actions suggest you are talking nonsense and you would never in a million years give up a league title with that type of lead.



25 Mar 2020 20:24:23
Gazo, maybe the club has spent a bit much on players, but your club will spend more on compensation for the poor souls that lost ther souls and more at your club, fact.



25 Mar 2020 20:27:34
Gazo, i was reading todays news, a priest lying in his dying bed has confessed that they used to use the deaf and dumb kids for sex games, what's your thoughts on that mate, i think that's news that should be spoken about, not our last 30 year history, as we already know that, but nobody new the news about sex games at the vatican, with those poor kids, that's a good subject, in my opinion, not some rubbish about our history, do you agree?



25 Mar 2020 20:29:47
Exactly what I would expect from one of u lot. As far as looking at overspending in the past. Short memory or selective. I'm sure that your club where 24 hours away from going out the game but for wee fergus intervention but we just brush that one under the carpet. This season I'm sure your board have spent double what we have spent 20 plus million.

I, for one would not want a title with only 3 quarters of the games played.

Personally I hope they do award u lot the title because it will always forever more have that wee asterisk next to it.

The bigger picture in all this is fans Celtic, rangers etc are suffering and losing family members and a lot have been told to reframe from working, so no income = no money to pay for funerals etc.

As I explained in earlier post regarding history of our club. We have a history of giving up titles 5 war years. As I said b4 Celtic fc are the only club in uk that include the goals scored in the war years as part of their official history.



25 Mar 2020 20:31:20
Gazo, I would also like you to do a wee pole on your own web site ask them to name there best 11 in the last 35 years. I'm sure the likes of sutton Hartson Larsson ect will get a wee mention. Do you seriously think any of those players would have been anywhere near your club, had they not been playing against the likes of Gazza, de Beor ect. No chance.



26 Mar 2020 09:45:16
Paulellen, I don't care about the Vatican, catholicism or any religion.

Stewartyblue Celtic under the White's, McGinn's etc were pathetically ran, we weren't spending a fortune to win silverware, does the term "biscuit tin" ring a bell? So Celtic's debt of the time was hardly due to an overspend in the pursuit of trophies.



26 Mar 2020 11:45:06
Gazo I see u never responded to players like sutton ect coming to your club due 2 our overspending. Did u enjoy watching players of that caliber.

So when u fully admit the biscuit tin culture are you now admitting that your team cheated by gaining an unfair advantage by not reporting funds coming into your club. Thus not paying tax on those funds and allowing your team to invest in better players, higher wages and in cup games robbing lower level teams of much need finances.

Regarding overspending in the pursuit of trophies. When we won 9 in a row your club were doing what rangers were doing just buying 100s of players and also went through a bout 7 managers over that 9 year period.



26 Mar 2020 12:30:33
Do you really think Dembele came to play against the masterful Andy Halliday? We didn't spend a fortune back then. For every fiver Celtic spend, you have overspent massively from Souness to the present day.



26 Mar 2020 19:31:12
Really dembele surely your not serious. Dembele came to celtic at start of his career with a guarantee of first team football and double his wages and to use celtic as a springboard to a better league. Sutton ect came to celtic because the standard of football they where playing against world cup and CL winners.

I see no response to the cheating biscuit tin.



26 Mar 2020 20:31:07
Gazo, my point being, that was the first news i seen today, was rangers history the first thing you seen when you opened your eyes, mate, lol.



24 Mar 2020 16:08:24
If we don't sign Hagi we're nuts. Kent will come good. I'm tired of Morelos and hope he goes. Never seen a Ranger like him and fed up.



24 Mar 2020 21:14:17
Look if you are tired, have ah wee lie doon, as for Alfie he will come good.
If your going to give Ryan Kent ah break, for ah 3/ 4 season of under achievement, well Alfie is still the only player to keep us even close to stopping the great unwashed of 9iar.
Look mr Fraser we need to support all are players not just are favourites, we win and lose as ah team.
So keep follow following the Famous Glasgow Rangers.



25 Mar 2020 07:06:50
Well said Charlie boy.



25 Mar 2020 07:53:39
Guys, kfraser is entitled to an opinion without being ridiculed, the facts are that since January our beloved Alfie couldn't hit a cows a--e with a banjo, and his attitude stinks, he doesn't look fit either, and, I am getting the opinion that Steven has had enough of him also, he's not committed to Rangers in my opinion.



26 Mar 2020 09:01:51
Irvger if you call that ridiculing then the world definitely has become far too sensitive. Whilst I agree with your post I am also well aware of the mess we would be in without alfredos goals this season. Stay say auld yin.



24 Mar 2020 10:12:01
Can anyone on here really see this season being finished fairly? because i can't . don't understand why we can't all come together and come up with the only real fair outcome for all clubs no matter what league it is. spl, epl, la liga, serie a, bundesliga etc. just call them all off and restart again next season when this pandemic is over.

might not be the choice some teams want but surely its the fairest? Ok liverpool are 2 games away and celtic are 13 clear but its been proven in the past a double digit lead means nothing in football and until maths tells you its impossible then nothins won or lost. pretty sure rangers one season blew a 15 point lead, so nothing is impossible.

Hartson trying to take the moral high ground by telling rangers would be respected more if we just handed celtic the league. well hartson. take off the green goggles and put away your bitterness for one second and think about it. surely you should be backing your own team and saying "celtic would gain much more respect if we put forward this season be null and void "?

Works both ways. and celtic can again go for their 9iar next season. unless the league structure gets changed. then obviously itl start back at heehaw.

On another note. morelos to atletico madrid? Hope so.

Tav and goldson to whoever will take them fc.? Hope so

Hagi and kamberi to sign deals with rangers? Kinda hope so

New kit deal with do it yourself, Hope not

Gerrard will definitely be managing rangers for the 20 21 season. that's a fact.



24 Mar 2020 10:43:23
To be ho est were never gonay come back the fair way to do it is finish were league is make it the result at current positions.



24 Mar 2020 11:43:51
Its not just about the top of the leagues tho mate. Partick thistle are bottom of the championship by 1 point and have a game in hand. How can they possibly accept current standings?



24 Mar 2020 11:45:08
So it's fair to award teams titles or relegate others without a season being completed DSGERSFAN?
And what about European places? Do you think UEFA will accept individual associations following their own plans?
In Holland the top 2 are separated by goal difference - so you would be happy if you're team lost the title with 10 games to go?
Do you think Real will roll over and award Barcelona the title?
Titles are won - not awarded👍.



24 Mar 2020 12:51:58
The only other way is nuĺ n void or complete season when all this is over n done way its a puzzel.



24 Mar 2020 12:55:08
Think you'll find, regardless of league reconstruction, If Celtic win the next one it will still be nine in a row.



24 Mar 2020 12:58:16
Do you think if league is null and void you will get expected prize money. I don't think so. also of it is deemed the league didn't happen the sponsors and tv guys will want compensated for the money they have plowed in and this is where the club's ( all clubs ) would suffer. do you want the CL and EL Null and void too. so percentage of monies returned and coefficient points all voided as well. this may not happen bit no one can say it won't happen.



24 Mar 2020 13:49:28
Davbeg, no it wouldnt.



24 Mar 2020 13:52:29
Have the people demanding that the league be declared null and void really thought it through.

If they declare the season null and void, there will be no prize money.

As there will be no champions or runners-up, there will be NO European Champions League place or Europa League places for 2020-2021.

How do we generate the income we receive from that?



24 Mar 2020 14:57:11
What TV company has demanded a return of their money?
What sponsorship company has demanded a return of their money? Have UEFA said coefficient points will be deducted?
This is all Tim talk.
If we unfortunately have to null and void the season, and this is a last resort for everyone, I believe UEFA will award European places on last season's standings.



24 Mar 2020 16:12:37
you forget that a cellic employee runs the spfl. any slackening of the lockdown and the league will be played behind closed doors by the end of june. nobody wins except them. the fans nor the laid off players not training. that's always their solution. its about them.



24 Mar 2020 17:34:19
Tupacman. to answer your question with a question has any official announcement regarding null and void been made yet?
Well when it does or if it does then you may have those scenarios coming to fruition. only playing devils advocate. null and void COULD mean 1, no prize money
2, refund required to sponsors and tv/ media
3, European null and void . European prize money withheld.

What you have to remember is null and void means it didn't happen.
Be Careful what you wish for
And this could be the reason by spfl and sea has no appetite for null and void scenario.



25 Mar 2020 07:57:39
Eric, didn't Lawell come off the SFA and SPFL Boards this season, hence Robertson is now on the Board, it's in my mind that he did.



25 Mar 2020 09:20:27
ir not before he placed doncaster on spl board, drove the unification and redistributed rangers tv money with him. did you not see the pictures. those were the days it was a three man board with partick thistle taking orders. no influence left behind? naïve.



25 Mar 2020 10:25:23
Looks to me by reading the comments, only way out for all concerned is to restart where we left off whenever that is possible.

Football clubs are a business like any other and should be able to claim government assistance like any other surely.



25 Mar 2020 10:56:43
Dsg . can’t fir the life of me understand how you think that would be fair 🤔.



25 Mar 2020 19:02:08
play behind closed doors, 2 possiblily 3 games a week, no cup that's gone, then stagger start next season when ever that needs started be it November December and play catch up cancelling all cups, makes sense now the conundrum for the accountants etc in all the clubs when do they ask for season ticket money? /.



26 Mar 2020 20:34:40
Rubes12, if only it was that easy, there are contracts, insurence, tv deals, there are a million reasons its not that easy mate, well that's my thoughts on it.



24 Mar 2020 10:00:44
John Hartson saying we should concede the title and be "realistic" Celtic were never going to be caught.
lets be realistic:
1. Man utd will never score 2 goals in the last 2 minutes of the CL final
2. Leicester will never win the EPL
3. Liverpool will never comeback and score 3 goals and win the CL.
4. Denmark will never win the Euros.
5. Greece will never win the Euros.
6. We will never have a pandemic that could wipe us out.
Lest be realistic the leagues is NAV a bit like your opinion.



24 Mar 2020 10:42:56
TJBB,

in your last 3 games you lost 2 to the team who was bottom of the league. there was no way you were closing a 13 (10 after game in hand) lead.

voiding the league will have legal implications for the club as broadcasters can hold back TV revenue and fans can peruse refunds.

if the league cannot be finished then current standing will be final and Celtic will be champions.



24 Mar 2020 11:08:52
kaney you are on another planet mate if you can quantify rangers losing two games against lower opposition as your reply to tjbbs post, i find that ridiculous, if the league cannot be finished it will be null and void, so no champions, whether teams can pursue compensation or refunds is highly debatable, no right minded fan from any club would put their club in any more trouble than they are already in, they are more likely to dig into their own pockets to help out.



24 Mar 2020 11:49:41
The Tim mentality is to get their grubby hands on a tainted title no matter what - even at the cost of human life.
I expect the mhedia exposure ramped up over the next few weeks with the usual cheerleaders out in force.



24 Mar 2020 13:30:14
mr tupacman your mentality is to use this horrible virus as an excuse to stop celtic, your team and every other haven't been able to stop them, go hang your head in shame.



24 Mar 2020 13:57:40
Kaney, you want celtic to win the title without winning the title, now read my post back, how can you win without winning, Oh i think i will win the lottery tonight, how daft does that sound.



24 Mar 2020 14:48:42
the league will most likely be restarted at some point.



24 Mar 2020 15:03:11
dillits your post in reverse is your mentality to use this terrible virus as an excuse for celtic to be awarded the league, as you in your own mind conclude that nobody can stop them winning the league, to bring you back to reality the virus unfortunately has stopped them.



24 Mar 2020 15:57:40
Where have I said the season should be null and void Dillits?
And it's a bit pot calling the kettle black since you are using the virus to get awarded a title you haven't won!
Desperados - hang your head in shame! 😷👀.



24 Mar 2020 09:02:31
Ashley has backed down as he got embarrassed on tv fat person.



24 Mar 2020 07:54:48
Well Mike Ashley true to type, ignoring the government's orders to shut shops and has told all of his workers to carry on reporting to work as normal as Sports Direct is an 'essential' business. Yes, trainers and football tops are critical in the fight against coronavirus. Just shows what a greedy, horrible person he is, endangering the life of his staff and others.



24 Mar 2020 08:41:50
There should be a mass boycott of sports direct. The man is nothing but scum. Only interested in money and treats his staff like rubbish. Despicable human being.



24 Mar 2020 09:39:33
Nobody in their right mind would go to his shops anyway. ASDA maybe, a jumble sale? Nah.



24 Mar 2020 15:27:49
Everysatwefollow. Av said it heaps of times b4. if you wear any sort of half decent brand of clothing then there's a good chance ashley gets a slice of it.
