Well, they won’t present the trophy today, it’s probably still at Celtic Park, and the safest thing to do would be to get Scott Brown and Neil Lennon to stand next to it for a couple of photographs for now, but at a meeting this afternoon on their computers, the SPFL will call an end to season 2019-20, and it will be agreed that Celtic will deservedly be crowned champions.
As the Westminster government now allows for the participation of sport with one person from outside your household, the Lennon CSC will pair off and compete in the Staffordshire Binge Drinking Championship, a new sport created by, er, the Lennon CSC.
It is hoped that other CSCs will announce their own tournaments, and we could form a sort of breakaway league, and even seek sponsorship from breweries and other outlets as early start up costs could be quite high, but the new sport does have the advantage that if it is forced to be played behind closed doors, it won’t affect attendances.
But, there you have it.
For the second time in my lifetime, Celtic have won nine successive titles.
And they did it by playing football, pure football.
Well, some of the time.
For those of you that will inevitably be faced by the hordes that claim we didn;t deserve it, and it wasnt a proper league season, remind them that at this point we could…and should… have been celebrating a fourth consecutive treble, and that isn;t going to happen now, which is actually quite heartbreaking.
But in these strange times, we must take what we can.
Which is exactly what the new club over at ibrox have been doing as the bills drop through the letterbox at a rate far exceeding the money to pay them.
We discussed the somewhat bizarre episode of their support having the money taken out of their accounts to pay for season books, which were subsequently cancelled with no refunds, hinting at an unexpected bill that had to be paid, or perhaps at a cash reserve that needed to be there to apply for a government loan, and that saga has deepened with the revelation that the company -or club-behind that particular fiasco is a new one, although the faces behind it are sort of recognisable..
Whatever else we may say about that lot , they sure know how to fiddle figures within the law.
So it’s all above board then ?
Perhaps with a certain degree of moral flexibility, but legally, it’s fine.
For an in depth look at some of their, er, arrangements, read this, from regular reader and contributor, CarlJungleBhoy…
But tell that to the hordes….there’s some angry bears out there, going Gerrrr …thats why they called the Gers , you know, at least according to one of our chaps in the Lennon CSC. Incidentally, another chap in the CSC thought that Hoopy the huddle hound was actually called Lenny the Lisbon Lion, whilst another mistook Derek Roirdan for Evander Sno.
We’ll win the world binge drinking championships with a few rounds to spare…..
Anyway, back to the angry bears….
The short answer is they probably won’t, at least not yet, and whats more, the club/company are going to ask for even more of their hard earned…..

Thats four pages worth, and still no mention of cost…or what you actually get for your money.
It’s actually fifty quid for adults and twenty five for under 16s.
Did the old Celtic board not try something similar back in the days before they finally revealed they’d forgotten where all the money was ?
I vaguely remember something involving a man dressed as a parrot.
One wonders of the SFA have asked for their accounts, prior to an application for a European licence….whether they will go through on the nod largely depends on how annoyed with the club/company the SFA are, having seen the Ibrox club fail to shift the balance of power in the game away from the SPFL.
Especially if the other clubs decide they are no longer afraid of losing the mythical blue pound….
Meanwhile, there are all sorts of rumours going around about new sponsorship…especially as Castore haven’t confirmed the kit deal yet….
Elsewhere, and the Covid 19 crisis continues unabated…people can now go back to work and all sorts of other things.
The house breaking industry got back on the rails much quicker than the house building sector…

Thank you very much!
Been listening to some podcasts lately. Interesting one on ones with ex players. Le tissier, John Hughes, Barry Ferguson. These guys either have no character (Ferguson, Le Tissier) or are fucking loonies(Hughes). Baz has got stating the obvious wita monotone of a voice reminiscent of sufferers of heavy depression , down to a tee. Le Tissier well for such a brilliant player he wouldn’t be my choice of celebrities to spend the night with, and Hughes who is an over excited self indulgent twat who sounds perpetually drunk.
Have to disagree. Yogi’s mangling of pronunciation is an aural delicacy but yes he’s bonkers.
“Been listening to some podcasts lately. Interesting one on ones with ex players. Le tissier, John Hughes, Barry Ferguson.”
That’s plenty.
Can you imagine if the buns were 1pt clear at the top of the league and Corona virus had struck in Dec that they’d want the season voided?
Congratulations to Peter regarding his statement about The Famine….you have certainly behaved in a totally professional manner,together with all at Celtic throughout,unlike certain other clubs who have behaved in a manner which is utterly unsurprising…..

Ralph,
Can I suggest we have a minutes clapping ( nearly said clap!!) for sevco fans on Monday. It is so tempting to simply mock and disparage them. However, our role as committed citizens, is to care for the less fortunate in our society in all circumstances. Some sections of the community are exceptionally vulnerable because they are unable to look after themselves at all and are very likely to continually self-harm than to seek assistance and advice. I am aware that these people may have already caused immense damage to their communities but one has to allow for extremely extenuating circumstances. Let us remember these people are of a species that may not have fully exited the fauna stage of evolution. It seems to me in this instance that, biologically speaking, one must either recognise the intellectual status of bears or decry Bears as sub human. I am not prepared to judge either way. However, the older I get and the more I hear from Ibroxonians, I am tempted to request a full investigation by anthropologists and a complete dossier of their findings in order to determine once and for all if the species I refer to as Ibroxonians are even of this world. I do believe that somehow the world will be a better place once they know themselves they are not the people but a unique species attempting to resurrect a lifestyle, completely annihilated several years ago with absolutely no hope of return, that has become alien to everyone else. I await the findings and the inevitable backlash that is in the genes of this species. So, please give them space. They really do not know what they do and even less what they say.

Logic. With apologies to The Jesuits! If play resumes (closed doors) each team will have 18 players, 2 physios, 4 coaching staff=48 persons. 4 match officials which means 52 people minimum will be in close proxiity for nearly two hours. Each of these must be Corona tested after each match and throughout the next week? Only one positive test means all 52 persons must go into quarantine for a fortnight! Same for all the league matches. How long would this take to complete 8 fixtures? Minimum 8 fixtures would take 4 months to complete! Minimum but possibly as much as a year. Any match spreading the disease would (and should) put a halt to the season. I predict the results in England will be disastrous, from the get-go! Impossible! Football, if played properly, is a close contact sport by its nature. We have more chance of telling five year olds in primary one to keep a safe distance than telling the average footballer not to spit on the pitch!
From memory in EPL 250 people to host a game, 3 million in testing fees to end the season.
3 million per club!
It’s closer to 100 people that are going to be pitchside, according to plans in Germany etc.
I don’t think there’s a need for quarantine if a player tests positive, as that happens when there’s no testing and ensures any others can’t pass it on.
Players will only need to be taking out, if they personally test positive and this won’t affect any others, if they test negative.
If any players test positive after the initial testing then this is a failure of the whole process, which should ensure that players are “shielded” from infection for the duration.

Let’s look at the record!
Goals: Celtic 89 Sevco 64
Goal difference: Celtic 70 Sevco 45!
The Huns lost twice as often as we did, drew twice as often as we did.
Wins: we won 5 more matches.
Our average points per game=2.67
Huns average points per game=2.31
At this rate our final 8 matches would give us a total of 101 points. The Huns have 9 games left so they would finish with 88 points! We thus win the league by….13 points. I also don’t believe the Huns would even win their game in hand with St. Johnstone at Ibrox. I would have bet on a draw. Anyway, Celtic win the league by 13 points, on the pitch due to tainted performances by Stevie and his over-hyped crew.Bring on ten in a row.
Newco? Try and stop us—on the pitch, like we did in 1998. Numbers don’t lie.
