Hi folks / ED
people are posting that France is going into a FULL LOCKDOWN on friday
Should Celtic be travelling for the game on thursday?

{Ed002's Note - Although lots of players have been contracting the virus the authorities are happy to provide them an exemption.}

That is really worrying and I would think after what happened during and after the International Break, the players should not be risked.
Governments have tried several ways to control this and failed, while Football Associations are not receiving any protection or sensible advice from UEFA/ FIFA regarding travel risks and dangers.
I can see this country going into full-lockdown soon as well, because all these regional rules and restrictions are having zero benefit.

Not sure they are having zero effect as the rate of C.V. has slowed and i am sure it would be much better if everyone stuck to the guidelines.

Like many on here I have not seen any family members for over a month Now restrictions have been extended and even increased in some areas. Hospital admissions and tragically, mortality rates are climbing so I have yet to see any change for the better or proof of improvement.
However, I do agree that as long as people are still taking risks with disregard for others, it will be a long tough road.
Celtic getting back to winning ways (especially on Sunday) would give us all a much needed lift HH.

Europe and National games should of been written off this season. There will be more clubs being affected due to unnecessary travel.

29 Oct 2020 11:36:51
Belgium were locked down and 5 standard staff/ players had it and the h@ns got away with it. mmmmm.

There's a lot of suspicion around about their testing methods and results and obviously don't want to wish any ill health or worse on anyone, but it's astonishing that they have stayed clear for so long.

29 Oct 2020 13:19:26
Surely an outsider must be there when testing no doubt the sfa? 😂 testing for C.V. with an all blue pregnancy test.

{Ed007's Note - Official testing is carried out and monitored by an independent body.}

29 Oct 2020 13:21:23
To be fair all our positive tests came when our players have been away on International duty. I don't think we've had any cases at home.
I apologise in advance if I am wrong on that.

To reply to above, pretty sure it's hard to get round C.V. testing. Just had mine on Monday as had to come back to Western Australia for work. Had 14 days quarantine and tested on 11th day. The paperwork to get into the state was phenomenal and had police coming to where we are to check quarantine. Everyday temperature check had to get sent. Forgot on day 12 and got a phone call to do ASAP. So I'm pretty sure it will be more stringent for the people back there. First time I've had the test and although the nasal bit wasn't too bad when she stuck that cotton bud to swab my tonsils I almost boaked. But work is work.

This is a good press conference by Neil Lennon:

28 Oct 2020 13:43:06
Thanks Ed. That’s the first time I’ve watched his full interview.
What did you think of the interview Ed.?

{Ed007's Note - I think he spoke well and put paid to a lot of the nonsense being spouted about what goes on at the Club.}

28 Oct 2020 13:56:54
That’s what I want to hear from him. He’s backed the players now it’s time they done the same. That interview should put a few people in their place, media monkeys.

28 Oct 2020 14:01:08
Agree ed thought he was excellent and showed some backbone and shut a few rumours down.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

28 Oct 2020 14:08:41
He got his little dig in about Common’s not always producing when he played under Lennon.
Common’s scored his first league goal of the season in the last ever Old Firm match on April 29th.
A long time to wait for your first goal of the season.

28 Oct 2020 14:20:13
Real good interview. He made it very clear what the media are up to with him and players in the club. Also made it very clear the team are together.

28 Oct 2020 14:20:17
Take my hat off to him and applaud how he kept his calm and remained fluently positive in the vipers nest.
Slippy and Co banned certain media and journalists, that dared to criticise or question, but NL faced his foes and defied the lot.

28 Oct 2020 15:08:50
Well Done Lenny, shot the media and establishment to pieces, defended the club and players, showed his own personal integrity and commitment to the club and players. I thought his comments on a section of the fans behavior in regard to his, the club’s management and the players commitment were 100% correct. I think it’s time that the section of fans he addressed should now shut the ———— up and get behind the club, even though I’m sure he welcomes all comments I think it would be the proper time for a piece of quiet on the let’s shoot the manager front, there’s enough on the other side of the house who have been literally trying to do that for decades.

Malika a good interview. You’re right how he’s been treated here since day one is to Scotland’s shame. No doubt part of big Duffy’s crime is that he hails from the town I love so well. Welcome to the Slippy G MSSM, SLY and EPL love in. ☘️.

28 Oct 2020 18:41:32
Well he definitely gave a bit of perspective but if we don’t steady things at the back we’re not going to improve. Know he did well to restrain but would have loved him to call out Sevco in front of him as to their lack of scrutiny to other 😂😂😂 Scottish clubs.

28 Oct 2020 19:04:41
Honest Calm and composed. I've never seen a press conference that lasted 25 minutes with so many reporters firing question after question hoping Neil would lose the head. Compare that to a SG interview that lasts a few minutes with softball questions and no criticism of him as he throws the players under the bus everytime they hit a bad patch.

28 Oct 2020 21:27:23
Play lennon at CB instead of Duff man he will talk the opposition strikers to sleep, for sure. 😴.

28 Oct 2020 11:26:51
I am asking Hoops fans for advice, is there any decent newspapers out there because the record and the sun are not worth buying because of the usual anti Celtic bias, there must've something decent to read.

28 Oct 2020 12:09:20
You still give money to these outlets Glen, just read them online.

{Ed007's Note - That's still giving them money and they probably value the click more than you buying a printed version to help their figures for selling advertising.}

28 Oct 2020 12:45:53
Thanks Bhoys for your Advice.

{Ed007's Note - My mate gave me a lift up to the chemist the other day in his works van and had to drop off something on the way so I had a gander at the Record that was in the van and most of the stories were just stuff lifted off Twitter or had Twitter quotes in their "original" stories.}

You mean 'a source close to the star' isn't a real genuine thing ed. sure your not as ed33 in disguise with you wokish leanings. 🤣 Crazy world when you can't believe what you read.

{Ed007's Note - 😂😂

Not to mention the classic 'SLY Sports Understands. ' ha ha ha.
