CELTIC TRAINING CAMP IN DUBAI

I agree but the govt are trying to cover their own backs here

 

Oh yes no question about that

 

* the SNP, but the point is that all of this could have been avoided with common sense. We deserve everything we get.

 

Exactly

If the huns did this, 99% of people would be screaming for a punishment including me

Would be hypocritical to not accept any form of punishment we get. Blame who we want all we like, ultimately it was our decision to go.

The board are too * arrogant though

 

And why would we get a punishment? Explain to me. We asked in November and the goverment said yes. We then asked on the 30th of december and they said yes. Infact the guidelines still say yes today. So why should we be punished? You cannot tell someone the speed limits 30 and fine them for going 30 and not 20 because Nancy down the road believes it should be 20.

 

The day before we returned a positive test our assistant manager stated in a press conference the guidance wasn't followed the issue isn't with the going to Dubai it's with what happened whilst we were there.

 

Is it *. Even before he said that your all rabid and foaming wanting your own team punished because they lost a game and went to dubai. You want them punished to somehow ease the pain we all feel of how the seasons went.

 

It's really like some folk don't even bother reading what has happened/is happening before they spout * tbh.

 

By punished I meant be forced to play more youth players if more have to isolate.

Were we following all protocols? Who knows. Certainly didn't look like it.

Should Injured players be going to a training camp?

Blaming everyone else for our own misgivings is something the huns would do/have done.

Tell me this truthfully, if the huns had gone to Dubai and were due to play Aberdeen tonight in the same circumstances, woukd you be blaming the goverment or wanting them to be punished or field a weakened team?

If hibs had done this to us tonight, what would your response be?

If you would totally blame the goverment for both then fair enough

 

Is what * ?

Kennedy said in his press conference the guidance wasn't followed the photos we have all seen prove that we made a rod for our own back then the following day returned a positive test that's not even opinion it's facts.

Going to Dubai in the first place was stupid when there is no winter break and we're in the midst of a pandemic granted it was allowed and the government granted permission for it.

 

Celtic have been rocked ahead of their clash with Hibs as 13 players and three staff have been forced to self-isolate. Taken from a response by the Scot Gov

 

DR reporting this

 

* sake. Stupid, stupid, stupid *. Heads need to roll for this.

Hibs have every right to want the game to be off.

 

Hope not. Looking forward to see what our under 21 side can do. Weve said for years it would win the spl

 

13 players by the looks of it need to self isolate.

* shambles.

On the other hand give some of the youth players a chance to shine?

 

I actually * hate the * running my club more than the football governing bodies and the * running the country.

Parasitic, out of touch, slimy * toads.

We deserve everything we get, * brainless *.

 

No one to blame but ourselves. Should never have travelled in the midst of a pandemic which appears to be at its height. Lawell and Desmond asleep at the wheel, they allowed this to go ahead.

 

Celtic Football Club confirmed today that Christopher Jullien has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating at home. We wish Christopher a speedy recovery.

While all of the other members of the squad and backroom team have tested negative, we have been informed by the authorities that, having been deemed ‘close contacts’, Celtic manager Neil Lennon, assistant John Kennedy and 13 first-team players will be required to self-isolate on a precautionary basis as required by the current regulations.

The Club would like to thank the Scottish FA, JRG and the Scottish Government for their assistance in managing this case. Celtic will, of course, fulfill its fixture against Hibernian this evening.

Clearly we are hugely disappointed, as we know our supporters will be. The contacts were identified during the period from Wednesday last week, primarily around flight and team coach travel, during which time Celtic applied the same rigorous protocols used for pre-season training camps, UEFA match travel and for all domestic match arrangements in Scotland.

These protocols have served us well in the past, as the Club has not had one positive case in our own ‘bubble’ until now. As we have already stated, Celtic’s decision to travel to Dubai for a training camp was for performance reasons. Whilst we were in Dubai, the announcements made on January 4 significantly changed the COVID landscape.

The reality is that a case could well have occurred had the team remained in Scotland, as other cases have done in Scottish football and across UK sport in the past week.

Celtic has done everything it can to ensure we have in place the very best procedures and protocols. From the outset of the pandemic, Celtic has worked closely with the Scottish Government and Scottish football and we will continue to do so.

 

Lennon and Kennedy self isolating

Stephen McManus part of coaching team for tonight...

 

Where to even begin with this.

* embarrassment of a football club.
