Oldfellow Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 13 minutes ago, Oldfellow said: Agreed. There was ,in my view, no logical reason to postpone last weekends games . Given that the games actually were postponed it would be illogical for next weekends games to go ahead much as I want them to. No games on the day of the funeral would have been perfectly respectful and adequate . SFA and SPFL have screwed up and they probably know it. On reflection the Hearts game on Sunday probably couldn't have gone ahead due to policing and other logistical difficulties in Edinburgh. There was nothing to stop the Saturday games though.

guinness Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Celtic game allowed on Sunday unless the police have operational issues. Would bet on operational issues being quoted before Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Well , after all my moaning about games being cancelled, we get the news , and rightly so , that the game is going ahead. And I’ll not be going 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleySaint Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 In the interest of balance should that not then be followed by the Sex Pistols - God SaveThe Queen? Seriously though it could backfire horribly to insist on the national anthem at that match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a “suggestion” from the SPFL . Clubs are asked to consider a minutes silence and / or play the national anthem before kick off . I won’t be at the game anyway but if I was, I’d do the silence as a mark of respect . As for the anthem ? Not a f**king hope in hell 👎. I didn’t sing for Liz , there’s no f**king chance I’m gonna belt it out for her boy 😡 On the flip side however , can you imagine the scene in the North Stand ? 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People outside the country know less about the behaviour of celtic fans and St Mirren will be wrongly highlighted as the only club not playing it purely because it is on the telly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 As much as I fancied us to take Hearts, Celtic are a different kettle of elephants, and the bookies are seeing us as rank outsiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chelsea game is off on Sunday after the clubs and authorities consulted with Police ,local authorities and presumably other emergency services yet the Brentford V Arsenal London derby goes ahead ?

StanleySaint Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm sure you know what I meant by that, the worry would be that because the game is at home our town, club and supporters would be tarred by the same brush as the neanderthals of the away support.
