    I'm still astonished WhatsApp groups are a thing for member clubs to "chat" in let alone be used as some sort of official communication, if that was the case.

    Not really posted much as I'm totally scunnered with the whole thing. It's been a laugh having a giggle at the mutants but I'm fed up of it now. Not been arsed about football at the minute either and this shambles has contributed to my apathy.

    We live in such a backwater at times its embarrassing

    I think this is the way it will go and I've been trying to estimate if this will work out for us.

    I feel like each season we are seeded if we get to the Play-offs, but I think we always depend on a team or two being knocked out for that to be the case.

    The BBC website is an actual disgrace.

    "ABERDEEN WILL VOTE FOR INVESTIGATION" & "PARTICK THISTLE CONSIDER LEGAL ACTION," whilst hidden away in the gossip column, "Inverness tried to null and void entire leage campaign claim 6 Championship clubs."

    So again it seems like Callie thistle (one of the Huns' gang angers) attempted to bully and coerce.

    What is apparent is that every club that has been involved in this debacle, with the possible exception of Aberdeen who just appear confused, are doing it out of complete self-interest and going in a huff anytime it doesn't go their way.

    At least we have 9IAR to look forward to and have stayed out of this nonsense like others with half a brain.

    Just cancelled my tv licence as I no longer have faith in their ability to give a true reflection of news ,they are agenda driven and have heavily biased views ,I dont tend to watch BBC, but reports from many online news feeds show just how diabolical their coverage is , it's not something I want to subscribe to , and it should be my choice , not forced upon you to pay because it's a channel on your tv .

    Good.

    Sensible and simple enough.
    Acknowledge the * show was just that, a * show.
    State our position on the pandemic, the position of the egm and that we are not to be blamed for the reconstruction either.
    Nothing more needed.

    in short:

    We aren't to blame for * - but please shut the * up and get on with the real issues.

    CELTIC Football Club welcomes the decisive vote by SPFL clubs to reject a lawyer-led inquiry into the processes relating to the resolution approved last month with support from the vast majority of clubs.

    We are satisfied that there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by the board or executive and do not consider that such an inquiry is necessary.

    We now appeal to all clubs to look to the future in the knowledge that the threats which exist to the fabric of Scottish football are grave and unprecedented. All of our energies should be applied to planning for the return of the game in season 2020-21 and to the financial survival of all our clubs.

    This current crisis is the fault of no individual or organisation and it would be irrational to suggest otherwise. It is the duty of everyone committed to the future of our game to make the best of this awful situation, and not the worst.

    We greatly regret the denigration of named individuals who have, on every occasion, acted upon decisions which were made by the board of the SPFL, representing all 42 clubs. The board and executive of the SPFL have operated under circumstances of unique difficulty in dealing with challenges of an unprecedented nature.

    Although Celtic are not directly involved in issues of promotion and relegation, we have great sympathy for clubs which will end up in a lower division. While we have been supportive of temporary reconstruction, Celtic also understands the position of clubs who do not support league reconstruction at this time.

    We recognise the hugely damaging effects that measures to counter the pandemic are inflicting on football clubs of all sizes across Scotland, Europe and beyond. It is the duty of everyone with the interests of football at heart to work for the greater good of securing the future of our sport.

    In that spirit, Celtic will play our part in ensuring the earliest possible safe return to something approaching normality. Our highest priority is the safety of our players and supporters and we are acutely aware that Scottish football’s current difficulties represent only a tiny part of the challenges faced by society as a whole.

    The statement says what it needs to, but I couldn't help laugh a little bit reading it (not in a negative way at all), but I can't quite explain why properly without, I expect, people taking it the wrong way.

    Season ticket date renewal put back until 30th of June. Bit of breathing space.
