Seriously though, that is massively stupid. Is it just because Florida have allowed other sporting events to go ahead?

The entire operation will take place at Disney/ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex. Just ESPN and MLS working together to make some money I guess.

Air quotes over the word champions for the team that just won nine leagues in a row and when the Scottish cup resumes late summer will be in a good position to win it's fourth treble in a row.

I don't think people realise how sweeter this neckbeard whining makes the victory, at least for Celtic fans. Some great celebrations here in Glasgow and the booze has only been on sale for four hours.

During the 9IAR seasons?

Beat clubs in bigger money leagues all over Europe through the years. Ajax, Barcelona, and obviously Lazio last year. Drew twice with a Man City that had a 100% record in England at the time. Of course our worst results came under the manager who loving romped the English league with a mid-tier team and took them to 3rd this year. van Dijk, Dembele, Tierney obviosuly went for peanuts and made little of themselves or show no potential. Bayern not about to break the Scottish transfer record and pay £30m+ for our current star. Pure Mickey Mouse stuff, I guess.

Not that it matters. The competitive games with Scandinavian teams through the years have meant just as much. You can only kick the ball that's in front of you, Celtic have been phenomenal and any FIFA game player OVR 99 obsessed dweebs who can't see and enjoy the game without a bit of perspective just don't matter. The enjoyment we get out of winning titles is probably not as strong as theirs when they went to a barber and got a Vidal haircut in 2013 but heyho.

Aye we're all out in the streets spitting in each others mouths and swearing only to wash our hands for 9 seconds in honour of the achievement. Absolute scenes.

Edit: To be fair to you it looks like a few dozen arseholes have decided to hang out at Celtic Park. About half the amount of people that showed for the 5G protests on Saturday.

Six players and / or staff have tested positive for the ol' roni.

quote:

The Premier League has confirmed on Tuesday there were six positives from three clubs for coronavirus after tests were carried out on 748 players and staff.

On Monday, the league announced that clubs would be allowed to restart training in small groups within the next 24 hours with no date set for league fixtures to restart.

Watford announced late Tuesday that three people, including one player, had tested positive for the virus and all three would self-isolate for seven days in line with league guidelines.

Burnley also confirmed in a statement earlier that day that assistant manager Ian Woan had tested positive.

"Ian is asymptomatic and is currently safe and well at home," the club said.

Each Premier League club has submitted 40 staff -- players, coaches, medical staff -- for testing prior to the start of group training.

But I'm sure this is fine and they haven't infected anyone else and there's absolutely no need to change the PL's iron clad plans for restarting the season!

Also, "self-isolate for seven days in line with league guidelines". Isn't the recommendation a full two weeks AFTER you're no longer symptomatic?

IIrc its 7 days after symptoms disappear and 14 days for anyone who has come into contact with you. At least thats what the NHS were saying.

Yeah it's completely loving stupid and I'll be shocked if it's not delayed again. Or just outright called off. The SPL just ended their season early so I bet they are discussing that too now.

I honestly can't understand their logic here. I mean I get why they're doing it: they care more about the money than any other factor such as the players' and staff's health. But I honestly don't get how they think this is OK, or maybe they just trust that nobody will call them out on their dumb bullshit.

Then again these are the "turn your head if you're getting tackled" idiots so
