Dear Humza
Why did you make no furore over the Celtic fans when they gathered en masse in violet protests ?
Is that a real photo?

YesIs that a real photo?
ah but he does it fluentlyHe talks shite everywhere . not just twitter
They really are shameless.
I reckon the Scottish Government are quietly fearful that these gatherings have no impact on the numbers, and they continue their downward trend.
If they have no impact, the clamber for removing lockdown restrictions quicker will only increase.
Kick of at 6am is about the best they could do.It’s about the old firm game. Given the poets are talking about going to “protect” their dump I wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of measure to try to stop people gathering. Change of kick off or something I don’t know what though.
It was hardly a secret, in fact the police we were told were on alert for this happening.A blind man living on the moon could see that after 10 years of frustration the Bears were gonnae explode when this title win came. If it caused such problems then why didn't they make provisions and organize something official AHEAD OF TIME.
Could it be because they found the thought to unbearable to contemplate.
Common sense doesn't get you clicks nowadays.Rangers didn’t breach any rules. There is nothing the SFA can or will do.
It’s all just noise.
or even making youth teams to play lolIt’s about the old firm game. Given the poets are talking about going to “protect” their dump I wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of measure to try to stop people gathering. Change of kick off or something I don’t know what though.
Did anything happen on Rangers property,no,so unless we suddenly own Edmiston Drive,or George Square, no case to answerWhat were Rangers as a club meant to do ? The Gaffer & Gary Mac to don Batman & Robin suits and force folk off the streets ? lol
100% thisAs someone on twitter summed it up perfectly:
This (us winning the league again) wasn't supposed to happen.
Rangers didn’t breach any rules. There is nothing the SFA can or will do.

I wouldn’t put anything past them.or even making youth teams to play lol

Post of the fùcking year. I've been driving at this for weeks.Jackson, of course. How many times is this now he's making reference to "pulling the plug" on the season.
I swear it's ONLY in Scotland where you could have a widely recognised sports writer making noises about cancelling the season.
He did it with Jones and Edmundson. Then he was saying that the SPFL "won't rule out null & void" when cases were spiking. Then Dubai. Then Patterson, Zungu, Bassey. Now this.
The guy has more or less spent the season farming clicks on the basis that "the season might be cancelled". Meanwhile the rest of Europe is just getting on with it. Only in Scotland.
I get that it's supposed to wind us up but continually pushing the government on this supposed "red card" that's coming is just weird when clubs futures most likely depend on the income coming in from getting matches played.
Not to mention the fact that Sturgeon isn't even a football fan and the "yellow card" thing was a daft analogy from someone who maybe doesn't understand the implication of what a "red card" might be. She might be thinking of a "red card" as suspending football for a month or something.
Literally no idea what she ACTUALLY meant but you have d!ckheads like this basically agitating since the season kicked off to have football shut down again.
In any sensible country what happens is the media goes "tut tut" for a day and then football carries on because NOBODY who works in the game and it's associated industries wants to see the game come under too much scrutiny or pressure. Plenty of countries have had big fan gatherings to celebrate victories etc. No discussion about "giving football a red card".
Only in this f*cking backwater where a successful Rangers season has put the entire country into one big collective huff. Look at how Gary Neville dealt with Liverpool winning the Premier League. He's able to have a joke at his own expense and then everyone moves on. In Scotland it's just moaning and whining and asking "can we not just get the season cancelled?"
Two sections of the article where Jackson gives his own take:
Swinney stopped short of threatening to pull the plug on what is left of the season but stressed that he could ‘rule nothing out’
Maxwell could even come under pressure to make an example of Rangers by throwing the disciplinary book at them ahead of the derby showdown at Parkhead a week on Sunday.
It's so bloody tiresome and predictable but it illustrates very clearly the kind of issues we have inside Scottish Football. Probably why we don't have a f*cking sponsor for the league and why things like the player/manager of the month awards are sponsored by crap like "Glen's Vodka". Grim.
It should be as simple as saying "fans broke restrictions but let's not let that distract from a great weekend in Scottish Football and let's hope that Police Scotland and the government can work together to make sure the rest of the season can be completed safely and peacefully".
Not in Scotland.
Why not just say "we're so raging right now because our football team lost so let's see if there's some way we can sabotage the good vibes and enjoyments of others".
How bitter. How snide. How petty. How perfectly Scottish.
The guy is a pr!ck.
That’s one beautiful photograph

He is ADDICTED to the crisis narrative. A 'football reporter' that actively seems to hate football.
If tabloid was a person.
No interest or clue in the actual sport on the pitch. Just desperate for faux outrage, crisis and of course clicks.
Pitiful.
...and the following week, and the following week, and so on.Should deduct us 3 points, so we can win it again next week
Should deduct us 3 points, so we can win it again next week
In all seriousness where does this "points deduction" thing in Scottish football come from?
A friend of mine who is 100% one of us and 100% wasn't joking was concerned that there might be a points deduction over our daft covid breach in February.
On what grounds would anyone even think it's a possibility?
Going as far back as "The Famine Song" drama there has been talk of "points deductions" but as far as I know the only deductions ever handed out in Scottish football have been related to administration and/or tax payment issues?
People will say "ah but the SFA/SPFL make it up as they go along" as if that's a convincing argument.
It seems like every time there is a bit of drama in Scottish football someone is shouting for "points deduction".
(Obviously I know you are joking but it's a common cry around the Scottish game.)
Because folk are mental
Or indeed a team to go abroad on holiday, and ignore current pandemic guidelines, then introduce further incidences of the pandemicWhat's the potential punishment for telling fans to stay at home several times but not enough times to make the police or SNP happy?
As of late February, Daily Record is down to 85,769, Sunday Mail 88,819 and the Sunday Post 67,530. Double digit annual declines for years. In paper form they are surely only a handful of years at most away from going away. They will be no loss.Arf Arf.
I agree Keith.
There will be some seriously difficult discussions taking place when the next round of circulation figures come through.
You’ll be able to work from home permanently after that.
You and Delahunt rattling the Skybet specials.
Like I posted yesterday on another thread, Sturgeon and her team are ticking two massive boxes here.I’d be wary. The Nationalists will want to keep this story going as long as they can and for it to dominate the news. We’re and easy target for them. I wouldn’t be dismissing the threat of this so quickly.... we may need to be ready to fight.
I was thinking that yesterday . Now we have a vaccine we will eventually need test events for mass gatherings . We may have just had a couple of pilot ones at the weekend .since I would guess most people at the events were likely unvaccinated due to the age demographic case numbers for a couple days may rise slightly but I can’t see it effecting deathsI reckon the Scottish Government are quietly fearful that these gatherings have no impact on the numbers, and they continue their downward trend.

Everytime I see that photo of that weasel I could throw up.
