It's what we were all hoping for. Tommy Sheridan has come out in support of Neil Lennon.
More evidence that he and @wastecoatwilly are one and the same.
Where do you start with that? He should stick to "exotic" nightclubs for his hobby than making videos like this!

His every touch on his debut at dens was booed by the home support, doubt it was due to him being a horrible, fat, cheating w****r, as he had never played in Scotland before, just my opinion btw.
To be fair was that straight from kick off or after he'd made a few tackles or complained to the ref or other players?
I've heard this before, but both Dundee clubs have had Irish players, have both Protestant and Catholic fans (amongst others). Besides if they were like that there would have been plenty of Celtic players to boo in addition to all the Irish players on their own team and other clubs.
If someone is getting booed, it is because they are a threat to their team, or their behaviour is unacceptable on the pitch. In Dundee it is sod all to do with "the divide".

This argument has been attempted already but apparently the Scotland players stayed in their secure squad bubble, areas, and didn’t mix with other hotel guests.
It has and they did, BUT according to the protocols they shouldn't have been doing what they did as they were not playing so.it falls under the same expected behaviour as when travelling to games, subs bench etc, masked, no touching, 2m distance. What is the difference between that in a bubble and sitting to close on a private coach with the bubble or sharing a car in a bubble or playing a games console while staying in a bubble?
Not trying to admonish Celtic or anyone else, its maybe a more consistent approach that may help minor slips etc.and keep minds more focused.

The whataboutery is in your original post.
Whataboutery - when presented with wrong doing exclaim "what about them?" or "but so did others".
If you can show me where I have done that in the post you are referring to I'd be most impressed.

Fixed that post for you.
You are welcome.
Where have you fixed it? I see plenty whataboutery and point missing. But then again that's normal for you.

I'm enjoying the desperation here of posters trying to twist the rules.
The "aye, but..." Clause very rarely works.
Not sure there is anyone twisting the rules.
All arrivals into Scotland from Dubai from Monday the 11th must isolate for 10 days, all arrivals from 3rd must isolate for 10 days from their arrival date.
Have Celtic been to Dubai and arrived back in Scotland since the 3rd?
YES
Has John Kennedy admitted to protocol breaches in a news conference, all be it in his words "minor"?
YES
Have Celtic just announced had a positive COVID -19 test?
YES
Have the initial reports of the Dubai arrival isolation applying to "elite sports" now changed to a decision will be made sometime Monday as to whether it will apply to Celtic or not?
YES
Not seeing much twisting of these facts, just discussion of them.

4 minutes ago, Mr Positive, sometimes. said:
Will depend if NHS Scotland follow same principles.
Can't see it happening. The risk assessment wouldn't let them travel if one person on the plane being positive on return would result in everyone on it having to isolate.
Your right not everyone on the plane will need to isolate, just those close enough, although depending on who has been close to the individual prior to the plane journey may bring a lot more.into the equation.
Although on a related subject, how good is the filtration on aircon systems with regard COVID-19 airborne particles? It has been raised at my work, and when on a plane the air is recirculated which you would think would help potential infection. Its not like you can open a window for fresh air like in an office, home, car, coach etc. The filtration can weed out some airborne particles but its something that comes up in H&S meetings at work.

Yeah but Sellick are going to get en exemption under the "Elite Sport" regs even though it wasn't an elite competition they were playing but a jolly boys outing.
Maybe, maybe not. Discussions are ongoing and a decision being made tomorrow, so commonsense* may prevail.

Which is where the elite sports rule kicks in. It's all being reviewed apparently with a statement lunch time tomorrow.
That's a completely separate issue.
All arrivals from Dubai must isolate for 10 days from Monday. All arrivals that arrived in Scotland from 3rd January must isolate for 10 days from arrival date.
The "elite sport" is irrelevant when looking at your previous posts, although I will concede it may just have been how you were putting that point over, it read that you were not seeing the "3rd January" details.
There is discussions as you correctly stated regarding the fact that Celtic's trip may not be covered by the Elite Sporting rule with regards the isolation due.
Should also mention that some folk are saying that it takes 7 days to show a positive test so therefore it cannot have been the Dubai trip. That's not true. These players are tested very regularly so therefore it is more likely that their infection would be picked up quicker than you or I. Also from a personal point of view my partner, a nurse, unknown to the ward had a positive patient admitted to her non COVID ward. She dealt with the patient from the Saturday. By Tuesday symptoms had started and confirmed by test next day.

No, Dubai has (as of now) been defined as a high risk area. Anyone coming from Dubai as of tomorrow morning must isolate for 10 days.
Wrong!
Anyone who has arrived in Scotland from Dubai and arrived in from the 3rd of January ALSO must isolate for 10 days from the day they arrived.
its quite clearly spelt out in the released statement.

Take yourself back to your relegation season where you were just desperate for the season to be over as quick as it could possibly be.
Going back to that season, if I thought I could have prevented more suffering I' have been hiring an ice machine to freeze the pitch for every home game I could have including March to May!!

It beggars belief that in this day in age that a club with under soil heating cannot produce a playable pitch in time for kick off. If as being claimed the pitch would have been playable a couple of hours later WTF was the heating not turned on earlier..Can you imagine the outcry if this had been played in front of a crowd and the inconvenience it would have caused. Spin it any way you like but this is nothing more than a cash strapped, Tinpot Outfit, who do not appear to have the resources nessecerry to maintain a place in The country's premier Division....Shocking, Simply shocking.
Keep seeing this on here that the heating was not switched on until Saturday morning. Has this been confirmed or is it just internet guess work?
Genuine question as I haven't seen this anywhere else.

Just now, The Real Saints said:
This is absolute nonsense. Fake news.
Anyway, it comes as no surprise to me that Dundee United have tried to cheat the system in order to benefit themselves at our expense. It immediately brings April 2011 to the forefront of my mind, when Danny Swanson dived to get Steven Anderson sent off at Tannadice.
And what benefit is that?
Your not one of those clowns from Twitter saying it was because of injuries, when all the injuries put up had missed previous games and wouldn't be back for Tuesday anyway?

As far as I know, clubs are only allowed to be in the stadium a certain time before kick off.
Unless United gave a certain time (saying "1 or 2 hours" isnt that) Saints would be forced to leave Tannadice and just hang about somewhere outwith the stadium until given a kick off time. Then have to go through the sterilisation process all over again. Clearly they decided that was farcical as they'd already travelled through, got to the stadium and been through the whole process.
I've still no idea why it wasn't arranged for today.
Seemingly they did. They gave two times to kickoff either 4pm or 5pm depending on what was more suitable.
Agree with the option of today though, seems a sensible option.

I see one of the reasons given by St Johnstone for not playing at 4 or 5 was Coronavirus protocols. What difference in protocols would there be for a kickoff delayed by an hour or two?

I wonder if RG was just as angry with his own club when they've had the same issues?

When fans thought they were getting into grounds in October.
Some clubs also made promises , which I think they will forget about your ticket giving you 19 games in person. Thats just not going to be possible
Looking at your own club are you going to pay £500 for a ticket you cannot use but that gives you access to Rangers TV or £9.99 per game for exactly the same service? As the economy grinds to a halt a few will pick the later.
I bought my season ticket NOT expecting to be in the ground. I bought my season ticket to support the club and keep it in existence. No refunds expected nor wanted.
I'll be doing the same for next season. Not saying everyone else should, its their choice to do what they wish with their money depending on their own personal circumstances.

I don't want to see football stopped and I would argue that it shouldn't but shutting schools and asking people to remain in their house while allowing non-professional/part time football to continue doesn't match up. Every time you go down a level it makes less sense. Maybe play Championship but leagues 1 and 2? Lowland league? Juniors, really?
As you have said, the example of a teacher who can't go to work but can play and train for the likes of Bo'ness 2-3 times a week. When gyms and leisure activities are shut to all yet at that level where they are basically glorified amateurs really doesn't make sense in the new situation.
Whilst I may agree with the sentiment, just for clarity, schools ARE NOT closed. The teacher will STILL be going into work under the current situation. The teachers are doing the remote learning from the classrooms and children of key workers will still be going into school (like my son) along with kids from vulnerable backgrounds.

Speaking of the new stand at Tynecastle, the Hearts CEO at the time has invited the golf correspondent to a square go at the North's equivalent of Ruel Street.
Completely sane behaviour as always from Gardiner.
That is incredible, unless there is some sort of friendship between the two of them and its the sort of stuff that is sent between friends. If not ICT do need a wee chat with him, even if it is between friends the chat might still be a good idea. Doesn't look professional at all, but then again neither has any of his utterances since March/April.

GDS
Whilst an extreme example, he didn't really have a huge amount of decision-making power as far as i remember, he was mainly a media-whore gobshite. I've probably missed a few out but here's a quick run down of the more notable nutters during my time as a fan:
- Angus Cook - eventually done for fraud involving frozen chicken products. Also a massive Celtic fan.
- Andrew Drummond - notable for being punched in his office by the above. I also vaguely recall some cross-dressing/fight/drunk incident in the papers
- Ron Dixon - Lost interest. Built a greyhound track and wanted to build an 8000 seater stand where the Derry is, with a bridge over Dens Road to an ice rink.
- The Marrs - Took a massive gamble and almost completely finished the club. Basically set the club back 20+ years for 2 top six finishes and a shite cup final. See also aforementioned links to nutters like GDS, Arkan and various other dodgy individuals
- Calum Melville - See above. Been involved in various alleged frauds I believe
There are a few others, not to mention the various backstabbings when the fans group were in the boardroom.
Basically a near non-stop shambles for decades.
Add to that the Gellatly era. Dundee should have been the one.of the richest clubs in Scotland and much more difficult for United to have over taken. The amount of money that "allegedly" taken out of the club was substantial.
All rivalry aside, well run there is no reason Dundee shouldn't be Premiership regulars.

Exactly, as far as us opposition fans were concerned, he was a complete p***k, and we were damn sure he was going to made well aware!
It is the same for Scott Brown and for us Paul McGowan.
