Celtic banter 52131

Yes Dannyh14, it was a risk worth taking from a footballing point of view, as in previous years it proved to be a game changer. Losing against them, totally against the run of play, on the day we were flying out to a training camp is not a reason to cancel something that was planned months in advance. And I for one hadn't, and never will stop believing in our ability to still push this all the way. Given the year we have all had, I suspect that this season will not yet pan out as some seem certain that it will, whether we catch them or not.

And while we are all suffering from this C.V., blaming Celtic or our Manager/ CEO for trying everything they can to give us an edge is not fair. And while it has back fired for now, it doesn't mean it wasn't worth the risk, as I am confident will become clear as the season goes forward. Celtic have the most stringent C.V. protocols in the SPL, and a couple of photos taken in Dubai have been used to sow dissent amongst our fans by people who have no love for our club. Their outrage is nothing to do with the health crisis, but everything to do with damaging our club, and in particular our CEO whose influence here and in Europe they fear most of all. I for one won't be playing their game, and slagging our club off in public, even when our best efforts don't work out as planned.

Well the risk on the football point of view worked out bloody marvellous didn’t it! 13 first team players self isolating for 3 games and no strikers at all to play in the mean time! Well worth the risk of flying out in the middle of a C.V. to do training they could have easily done at lennoxtown where we have recorded zero C.V. positive tests all season! So you keep thinking taking risks with people’s health is ok and al live in the real world 👍🏼👍🏼.

Belfast Tim i was at first ok with club going to Dubai as I was led to believe it was one of the safest places in the world regarding c. v and look what happened.

It was a risk that should of been avoided by club and had board acted back in November to remove Lennon as manager then maybe club wouldn't of needed dubai trip to turn things around.

Been on this site a few times and there’s a lot I agree on and a lot I don’t! But for me after the season we have had 21 points behind that lot and bn beating by them twice
There’s no way they should have went away
And because of that we are missing 13 first team players
What a joke 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Also Lennon should have never got the job in the first place come on! I mean at Bolton he did nothing
Hibs the same so why the board thought to get him I don’t know 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Yes we won the league but they were crap after jan also we had big frazer in net and we had a settled team.

If with you Belfast Celt, it was the right decision to go away. Unfortunately, one of our players got CV and it has impacted on the team.

However, when we went Dubai was a safer place to be than Scotland.

Whose to say the Jullien wasn’t positive before the team flew out, incubation of CV is, at a guess, up to 14 days. Negative tests are not 100% . Getting fed up reading crap about the Dubai trip. Any group of people who are in constant close proximity, are at risk, so Lennoxtown and Parkhead would present the same potential. We are having a rubbish time but it has nothing to do with going abroad, unless, of course, anyone can prove 100% that Jullien picked up CV there.

Chasa obviously it can’t be proved but the fact he’s injured and had no place at a training camp should’ve made this a hell of a lot easier. He doesn’t travel and there’s no cv issues.

15 Jan 2021 16:27:54
Back to my original point, he may have been positive before he travelled. So unless he caught it there, Dubai may be completely irrelevant.

But if he stays here and has it then the rest of the players isolating now would’ve been available.
