translategate hasn't been very edifying

I did wonder when I saw Celtic's statement today, particularly the bit about Morelos being owed an apology by Sky, why the Ibrox PR machine were being so reticent and why it seemed incumbent on Celtic to seek justice for Morelos. And now I know. What a mess.

Kenny Misser, you was always shit but i'll never forget that goal against Man U

that spell at wolves alongside his first spell at rangers were surely the best of his career, which was definitely at least journeymanesque

second spell at rangers i should say

that seems entirely believable

2nd most capped Scottish footballer in the 21st century, what a world

Looks bad for Jackie McNamara - bleed on the brain :(

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51452028

Tragic. Loved Jackie as a player ;_;

aye, very sad about jackie mac. he's ten years older than me and moved to celtic when i was about 12, so a favourite of mine in the squad during my youth. apparently he regained consciousness and was talking etc. so fingers-crossed for a good recovery.

in less important news rangers lost 2-1 to killie away and the celts hammered hearts 5-0 lol

Rangers lost to Killie 2-1, courtesy of an 88th minute goal scored by a guy called... Eamonn Brophy. Poor old Teddy Bears, that's got to smart.

having a wee trawl on the rangers forums the now. they've either turned on gerrard or it's all the referees and the sfa's fault.

"fenianism has killed scottish football"

12 points clear, some buzz

Minute's applause in the 8th minute at Ibrox tonight in honour of Slippy's Liverpool shirt number. What in the actual fuck?

5 minute's booing at the end, natch

Celtic shite and still shellshocked after the Copenhagen but, Jeez-o, the Gers! They want Gerrard's head on a pole by tomorrow morning.

(xp) Impeccable timing there.

christ, a weird midweek.

rangers can't stop dropping points to folk in the bottom half of the league. losing to accies at home is madness.

They've lost their last two games to the bottom team in the table... which must be some kind of record for Rangers.

was trying to have a wee gloat on the follow follow forum's "bear pit" but they seem to be having technical difficulties (overloaded by gloating Tims)

If you don’t know how the Nations League works... Scotland put out Israel last season and were rewarded with a playoff against Israel. They then got promoted to a higher league and got drawn against Israel 🧐

Sounds about right.

Quality finishing...

Haha! I alerted some Sassenach pals to that David Weir article a couple of months back. That and the one about Stevie G making bigger strides in 2019 than Neil Armstrong had managed on the moon 50 years earlier. Comedy gold.

SPFL voting to call every league except the Prem is a new level of Don't Upset Ra Peepul bullshit.
If it's OK to call Dundee United champions it's OK to do the same for Celtic.

It'll be interesting if league expansion is dangled to protect Hearts - incentivising them to call it for Celtic.

apparently dons and hearts are going to vote against. rangers obviously will too. how many voting against is required/

sea apparently awaiting word from UEFA also?

oops, brain far. wonder how many voting against would mean that the season is just abandoned. could see it happening

If it's abandoned there's no prize money and a whole bunch of awkward questions about refunds and sponsorship of non events. The season either needs to be called or played out post-lockdown.

It's hysterical that the Huns want their 2nd place money but don't want to accept 2nd place.

I’ve not been following closely but it needs 75% to go through - I think all 42 clubs are voting together.

We're going to get stitched up like a kipper here.

If they want their second place money, they need to give us the title, and accept that the league's done. Because otherwise, if they think they can still win, they have to accept that they might also be overtaken by Aberdeen or Motherwell.

Wonder if Bazza will be expressing delight when the SPFL declares Celtic as champions.

Dundee vote for proposal

an even sweeter title because they're pissing their pants about it

Not sure why the premier league isn't being called with the rest when all 4 leagues had enough votes to carry

Isn’t it because UEFA have threatened to deny entry to European competitions for countries that declare their top leagues over? I dunno why UEFA can’t see football is not happening in any way to allow seasons to complete before next year starts.

I think it’s the UEFA thing. Or that’s my best guess.

I’m going to assume Dundee will be in next season’s expanded top flight, then.

I’m fine with 14 (7/7 split) then 10/10/10 with Kelty and Brora joining.

it's nothing to do with the UEFA thing, the clubs that voted against aren't happy with their current league position, either in relegation positions or not at the top of the table. it's as simple as that. this vote only gives the spfl the power to conclude the season. they're not actually going to formerly donor that top-flight until they get the go-ahead

donor should be "do that"

Genuinely had to Google this "ace" - turns out he's been in Scotland since last January and played 7 games.
Decent ilx name though - we've had our fair share of Matts and we seem to love a poll.

The Dutch have just chucked it, no promotion, no relegation and no champions, though tbf Ajax & AZ Alkmaar are only separated at the top by goal difference.

Ligue 1 wound up. Paris St. Germain awarded the title, 12 points ahead with 11 games to play. I don't think I need to remind anyone here that Celtic are 13 points ahead with 8 games to play.

Nine in a row getting closer.

rangers up to their usual nonsense

did they ever publish their smoking gun dossier or whatever it was?
Jags got stitched up, my da's fuming.

too boring for me to get into but SPFL have issued a rebuttal, seems like a huge damp squib, and while they need 75% to have their resolution go through they're unlikely to clear 10%.

9

Roll on 10... whenever that might be.

As tournament denouements go, finding out we won 9iar via Twitter an hour after everyone else did is right up there with that time I watched us lose the League cup final to Raith on penalties via teletext updates.

Title party!

You got the 2007 winner via text from me. I think it went something like NAKA OMG
