I can’t find any report that gives any detail on where he went or the purpose of his trip. All seems nicely choreographed.

Strangely enough .All very like the Hearts /Partick scenario .Where everything  went away quietly

However if he didn't tell them and he just decided to fuck off to Spain on his day off, they can't really be held accountable. Footballers might be high profile but they are still entitled to freedom from their place of work. It's simply not reasonable to expect clubs to treat players like they are under house arrest or wearing tags.

 

In a normal world, yes.

 

during a pandemic whilst under strict conditions from your governing body, no it isn’t unreasonable to know the whereabouts of your players.

He's not even got it? Why is this a league problem now yet when Aberdeen broke rules and ended up with players testing positive it only affected them? 

If they're gonna suspend the league, BOTH clubs should be absolutely hammered for bringing the game into disrepute with their own stupidity.

SPORTING INTEGRITY!

Postponement is not punishment. There has to be some sort of punishment to Aberdeen and the scum or once again, the spfl will be seen as a joke by everyone else.

Surely there is airport cameras of Boli returning. Would love it if an employee picked him up upon returning and the footage is found.😃

Someone tried to ask that stooge mouthpiece that stands beside Nippy every day whether these postponements were simply postponements or were they punishments?

Still none the wiser.

You would have thought any such rulings for failure to comply would already be in place. I mean, it must have crossed someone's mind there may be a breach, no! Yet another failing from those in charge.

That was one of their pathetic reasons for calling an end to last season. They wanted to move on and concentrate on getting things in place to be ready for the start of the new season. More bullshit cause they’re still a total clusterfuck

All centered on punishing individual players rather than their clubs and in line the narrative being spun that this is  all down to the actions of Juan Guy, a separate entity so to speak,

Still its 3m down the pan for them. hope he chooses to sit on his hands for 3 years.

Simon Jordan, the former Crystal Palace owner has said he ‘would wager’ that celtic share a portion of the blame for Bolingoli’s actions, assuming the Scottish champions didn’t issue clear enough guidelines to their players.
“I’ll be very interested to see how clear, concise and how professional celtic were in communicated to their playing squad exactly their responsibilities and ensuring that these young man understand clearly where they can go, where they can’t go, what they can’t do and how the football club should know,” he added.

“They’re talking about a disciplinary procedure, so I’m assuming they were unequivocal to all of their players that they cannot go to certain places and they can go to other places, and in the event that do go away they want to know where to.

“But I’m willing to wager you that that communication might not have been as succinct as you think it would be.”

Of course they as a club are to blame, either Bolingoli ignored their instructions, in which case he should be punted or they didn’t give any.

Absolutely, considering how bad they apparently were on Sunday it might have been in our interest for them to have to go to St Mirren tomorrow . Also they will probably have Aberdeen visit them when they have a crowd back.  If the sheep were going to take anything off them it would be more likely at an empty stadium.

Maybe agree on St Mirren, no way the sheep were getting anything with 8 first steamers out though. Tannadice will be a tough place to go IF we do our part and win the next three games.

I agree regarding the Sheep. I was meaning if neither of the incidents had happened. ie Sheep at full strength

The sheep have won (1-0) and drawn (0-0) at the piggery in two of their last 4 visits, losing 1-0 and 2-1 in the other 2.

3-2 withe 5 points dropped over the last 4 isn't great form and we should all remember that prior to the Bolingoli story broke the sheep were being sent to Glasgow with a reserve team, such is the way justice works in the SPFL

Bolingoli had previous on a return trip .celtic were fully aware of that fact.

 

They knew the guy was a particular  risk  and needed appropriate monitoring but failed abysmally to show due process with regard to checking his movements.

Bolingoli was seen at Glasgow airport and in Malaga by celtic fans who themselves self isolated on return to Scotland.These same fans would have noted that he was in the squad for the game against Killie,a telephone call to the Police,Media or the Club   questioning his inclusion could have been made  by them.

It was not a 'secret' trip  in any shape or form.He was brazen about it.

An' apology'  from celtic does not repair the damage and the  threat his actions and their inaction has posed to other clubs and the game generally.

But the Footbal Authorities up here will give them a slap on the wrist  at most.

The player was  taken aside after the first incident  and told his behaviour  was unacceptable.

This fact  was stated publicly  by  Neil Lennon.It is beyond refute.

The fact that he went unpunished and that celtic, fully aware of his previous Covid breach did not assess him as a higher risk and one to watch,  smacks of negligence,failure in risk assessment and dereliction of duty by the Club  given the  seriousness of COVid for not only celtic but the game as a whole in Scotland.

One has to question  whether the club's attitude to Covid   was not fit for purpose leaving plenty of room for doubt in their playing staff.

Already the language being used by Liewell's useful idiots  with influence,notably  highly placed deputy Petrie, is carefully spun  along the Juan Guy routine  uttered repeatedly by celtic's PR machine when they get any negative heat for clear misdemeanours.

I have absolutely no doubt that  Petrie  ran his carefully crafted  statement ,appropriately spinned, praising  celtic ( astonishing  ) past big Peter for approval before issuing it for public consumption.

On another topic ,lets see what happens about the elbow in the face incident caught on camera..over to you Compliance Officer....sweep sweep....

Scottish Football ,corrupt at its very core... as seen ,time and time again, by precedent and practice.

The 1-0 win was last game of the season  after league was won and stopped us getting second in the league so was predictable, was their first win there for 15 years.

Somebody made a good point on the confession line that clubs are often punished by the behaviour of their own fans so should receive the same when it comes to their own employees. 

Kicked out the CL, points deduction for the games not played and Killie awarded a 3-0 win as Bolingoli shouldn't have been playing. 

After all we were nearly dead and buried because of the actions of one man so it's only fair :sarcasm:

The narrative has shifted full circle from any blame on that rancid club to 100% blame on Bolingoli and now celtic are the victims.

Shows how they control the media in this rancid country!

Imagine the difference if it was us? We’d be getting punished, blamed  and questioned about what we knew.
