Celtic away moved to Monday night/Celtic player tests positive

[Keith_M]

Why the reluctance to test again? Surely you'd agree that is in the best interests of everyone involved?


You'd think so.

The SPFL have taken Celtc's side with this, again.

[Barney McGrew]

I'm not defending them. Not for one second.

What I find incredible is that people think that we make up the rules as we go along. There are protocols in place and precedents that have been set (but could change on Thursday).

For me things appear to be being dealt with correctly. No amount of outrage on here will change the rules.

Celtic’s own assistant manager has admitted those protocols have not been followed though, and we have photographic evidence that strongly suggests that’s the case.

They've broken the rules here so they are the ones that need to be held to account.

State of this ****ing rocket. All hibs fault apparently

Jim's a betting man, someone ask him what the odds are of a Hibs player or member of staff getting Covid if they play tonight :cb

3 points for a game of football versus public health, mitigating spread of a deadly virus, and safeguarding players, staff, and families they come into contact with..........it's a very very easy decision Jim.......any reasonable person knows that and should be absolutely hanging Celtic out to dry for their immoral and selfish stance towards travelling to a training camp in a country that has spikes in Covid :aok: there's a reason his surname is always changed to a more rather apt and rude pseudonym :agree::aok:

[SteveHFC]

Celtic v Hibs goes ahead. Easter Road club expressed concerns over the safety of their players but SPFL refused Hibees request for Celtic players to be retested and insisted match must be played tonight or points docked.

SPFL can go **** theirselves.

[Peevemor]

Aye but what I think people are alluding to is you’re putting your trust in Celtic actually following the protocols correctly and to the best of their knowledge.

I’d hazard a guess that they absolutely haven’t done that both over there and whilst travellingWe could say that about any club, even Hibs.

Every single one of us is having to live with this and take the appropriate measures. How many of us haven't had the odd wee absence when it comes to distancing, etc.? I know I have.

Celtic were stupid to go to Dubai, nobody is questioning that, but you'd think they were all infected with the bubonic plague or something going by some of the over reaction on here.

[Peevemor]

Why the reluctance to test again? Surely you'd agree that is in the best interests of everyone involved?I've no idea.

Why the reluctance to test again? Surely you'd agree that is in the best interests of everyone involved?

You’d think it would be very much in Celtic’s interest.

They could potentially get a full-strength team out and strip us of any gripes we might have.

There is no good reason for them not to test - unless they believe we’re going to walk into the trap of forfeiting the game.

Aye, it’s just a different deadly global pandemic we’re wanting to safeguard our players from by getting them to do another round of testing. How silly of me.

Anyway, who’s in goals for us tonight?

[Gordy M]

But they ALL sat in a plane with someone who possibly had covid at that time. If that was a plane full of public, they would ALL have to isolate. Thats the difference between this situation and previous outbreaks at other teams.

I'm one who became complacent towards Covid until very recently when a good friend lost his wife to Covid before Christmas, and a family member of mine passed this month with Covid.............please don't take this lightly, it's a very serious virus and has tragic and distressing consequences for many. I'd now much rather safeguard anyone who could come into contact with it :aok:

[ScottB]

Begs the question as to when the Celtic players were last tested, if they are refusing a test today.

Sure we had Porteous sitting on a plane with people who tested positive but didn’t have to isolate on his return. No defending Celtic here, but just for a bit of balance.

Any players don’t want to play, that’s up to them. Hopefully the rest aren’t too distracted by it all.

[Pretty Boy]

Scottish Football is now officially a joke, the FM now looking at shutting down the game, easy move for them to make now and nothing to do wi Hibs this one is on a pandemic not helped by the covidiots around darkheid.
Walk away now.

The Scottish Govt need to take their share of the blame. They gave the go ahead for the trip to take place.

[Chorley Hibee]

So every possibility there are players taking to the field this evening who are incubating the virus, or even positive.

Celtic and the SPFL had opportunity to help allay those fears this afternoon, yet both refused.

Hibs shouldn't be there tonight.

[Centre Hawf]

To be honest if the club want to take a stand and just choose to forfeit the game and back the players who have expressed concern then I will stand with the club on this.

It's an absolute joke of a situation that has been handled poorly from the SPFL and Celtic. If this happened to anyone else or the teams were reversed there would be a far different circumstance being played out.

Celtic’s statement earlier on said, “Celtic will, of course, fulfill its fixture against Hibernian this evening”.

A very simple/obvious thing to say but as soon as I read it, in the context of what has happened, my first thought was that it was completely intended to push any decision about the game going ahead on to us or the league so they don’t end up in the **** for it.

Scottish Football is already on thin ice with Holyrood. In light of the fall out of Celtic’s trip away, a belt and braces approach with further testing prior to tonight’s game would at least show that footballing authorities and clubs are taking every precaution. This refusal proves they aren’t, and makes any decision for shutting down all the leagues that hit easier for the Scottish government.

[Siralbertkidd]

OFCS the Scottish Government did not approve the trip...words from the FMs own mouth today at 12.35 in her briefing. She called Celtic out and pointed out Celtic were originally planning a training camp elsewhere not Dubai.

Any reasonable action should have been taken, an opportunity missed by the league. :agree:

[Barney McGrew]

The latest dig at Hibs is that we were happy to play St Mirren when they had players out.

Very conveniently forgetting that it was three keepers who trained separately from the rest of the squad, not a whole team and back room staff who’d been on the piss on a week long jolly in the sun.

The rules need to be revisited. Hibs made a reasonable request for the Celtic players to be tested again. Testing has come on a lot. Teams in the situation of Celtic should have to test immediately before a match. It needn't be the type of test that has to be sent to a lab, even just a self-test kit that gives a result in 30 minutes. That should be the bare minimum.

[neil7908]

Agreed. I drive down a motorway that has a 70 mile speed limit. A couple hours later it's dark and the fog comes in. Do I stick to 70 because that's what the sign said? Or do I use a modicum of common sense and change my behaviour based on the circumstances as they are now?

Yep. No way is tonight’s ref being balanced. Call me paranoid 🙄

[hibbytam]

There is no acceptable reason, and for the SPFL and Celtic to refuse the request is frankly beyond belief.

The governing body and Celtic FC have deliberately endangered Hibs players and staff this evening.

The only reason not to test is if you don't want to find out the result.

[Baader]

Ridiculous we are being forced to play this. Hibs haven't done anything wrong and to refuse what is a reasonable request by us to have Celtic players and staff re-tested is just farcical. Here's hoping for 3 points and no outbreak in our club.

So the league are willing to postpone the semi final if Hibs players get sick tonight, but not do anything about tonight’s game?!

If any of our players get sick in the next few days, who’s to say it was because of playing Celtic? This will be their claim and the semi final won’t be cancelled. Forked tongues as usual. Bending over backwards to accommodate and protect the Old Firm.

Broadfoot just shouting over everyone. Prick.

[Onion]

Pretty much Hibs have asked for extra reassurance thru further testing , league refuse and start issuing all sorts of threats and sanctions. League run for the benefit of Celtic and Rangers right enough in case anyone was in any doubt.

Id love Hibs to have called the leagues bluff here and refused to play...the league this year is a farce anyway so what difference would it make. Ron could pay any fines out his loose change!:greengrin

Can you ever imagine the situation in reverse ? Hibs force Celtic to move the game so we can swan off on a foreign holiday, then refuse to provide some reassurance to Celtic by having the players tested ? No chance.

[Iain G]

Totally - can't believe the nonsense he's coming out with.

What did he say?

[Northernhibee]

One of the BBC pundits claiming that the clinical advice was not to test the Celtic players.

Dollars to doughnuts that anyone in the medical profession was that it would be a bad idea to do some testing. They may have decided it wasn't necessary, but I'd bet that they never said not to test them.

I agree with your sentiments entirely, our team has had bouts of covid and another maybe upcoming passed on by the other teams players?
As for the SPFL/SFA to refuse further tests as an assurance to another team is terrible, but to compound it with draconian punishments if we don't carry out playing the game is dual standards!
Both Aberdeen and Celtic were caught out before and games were cancelled because of it, St Mirren and Kilmarnock are waiting to see if point deductions are to be overturned for missing games???
It seems to me that our governing body is fast making up rules as they go along, but it seems that its only really to protect the Old Firm????

[Paul1642]

Broadfoots point about the results possibly not being back in time for kick of is irrelevant. I would rather find out that the player that I was marking for 90 mins was Covid positive a few hours after kick off rather than a few days later.

Also starting to think that Tom English isn’t all that awful when not speaking about Heats.

United Arab Emirates, except Dubai (arrivals from Dubai will be required to self-isolate on arrival from 04:00 Monday 11 January 2021. Those passengers that have travelled back to Scotland from Dubai since 3 January 2021 are also being asked to isolate for 10 days, from the date they arrived back in the country)

I think this is what Dr. Bauld on the STV news was on about, Elite sportsmen/women getting different treatment from the rest of us!!!

'I’m baffled by Shane Duffy’s inclusion in Celtic team. John Kennedy told us categorically on Saturday that he’d miss Hibs game because he’d flown home early and independently from Dubai to see family, so had therefore ‘left the bubble’ and would have to self isolate. Bizarre...'

Kennedy was probably wrong when he spoke. There aren’t bubbles to protect sports people, they are just exempt from many of the isolation rules.

If he has tested negative and he was not identified as one of the contacts from the positive test then I don’t see why he shouldn’t be playing just because he came back on a different plane.

Bonnar was highly critical of Celtic in the portion of the programme I heard. He certainly gave Broadfoot both barrels when he spouted that they were within their rights not to agree to same day testing on the basis that the results might not be back in time.
