    Christopher Jullien 'moved seats' on Celtic bus and forced more people into self isolation as close contacts

    The French defender tested positive with 13 players and three staff members deemed close contacts.

    By Mark McDougall

    ---------------------

    Celtic were forced to put more players into isolation than expected because Christopher Jullien didn't sit in the same seat on bus journeys, according to a report.

    Neil Lennon was fizzing about the amount of players and staff members who were forced to isolate for 10 days on their return from Dubai and accused the government of having an agenda against Celtic.

    He insisted Covid-19 protocols had changed which sparked the isolation periods and reckoned most clubs in Scotland will have been breaking them.

    But now the Daily Record report that Jullien moved seats on the bus and that's what led to more people being deemed close contacts after the Frenchman tested positive.

    After he returned the positive test, Celtic sent photographs of how the players were position on both the flight and their bus journeys in Dubai.

    And that small change of Jullien moving seats in different photographs meant more people had to isolate than they would have if the defender had stayed in one seat.

    In his incredible outburst, Lennon had said: “On the plane it was the guys that were closest to them. So all of a sudden it was two rows back, two rows forward, two rows to the side.

    “We were under the impression that with business class seats the distance from two seats back was pretty safe.

    “And some lads had to isolate because they were on buses with Christopher.

    “This is where I’m confused because all clubs in Scotland have been travelling up and down the country in two buses.

    “With these guidelines that we’re now having to adhere to it means that only three players can travel on a 52-seater bus.

    “So when we played Hibs last Monday we had to bus six players on two 52-seater buses. So that would mean every club in the country with say, you know, 30 people, would have to take 10 buses.

    “So for me the goalposts are completely moved.

    “And now all of sudden we adhere to all protocols, have taken photographs, adhered to every rule in place and we have 13 players, and three staff isolating for 10 days that, apart from one, are all negative. It’s absolutely preposterous.”

    Hes a convicted drug dealer ffs. 

    King was passed fit and proper despite having a chequered past to say the least.

    But these money men always skrit very close to the edge between legal and illegal.

    Being involved in the supply of class A's is a wee bit different :lol:

    He's still paid his debt to society. He must have turned a page to get the job at Livingston. I think the guy deserves a second chance before the key is thrown away.

    They’ll avoid anymore match covid test till following Wednesday, the bastards will take advantage of that. I’d be surprised if the games on tonight, they’ll have their authorities having it postponed already probably. 

    Surely if they're playing tonight the club will have to do a test after having another anonymous player test positive?

    Imagine breaking this story on the morning of a big game for livi. Scum media.

    He's paid his debt to society four years of a six-and-a-half-year sentence. If he fails his SFA 'fit and proper persons' test due to his past then surely Desmond and a few others should be reviewed.

    Yep it would but they'll end up just wheeling out Kennedy/Strachan tonight to do the basic interviews & wait for the apology

    Although I know Walker is a taig sympathiser, he's not one to back down very quickly so got a feeling they'll be waiting quite a while :lol:

    This could get interesting. :popcorn:

     I don't think Walker should apologize, what he said was true and most of their fans think so too otherwise they wouldn't be hanging banners outside of their club demanding Lawwell and Lennon are sacked.

    As others have said his comments weren't the rant of a crazy guy, he knew exactly who he wanted to involve in it & listening to the full thing last night, he was going to do it regardless of the media's line of question.

    The whole thing was just a smokescreen to take away from the taigs fuck up of Dubai & to drag as many people as possible into the mess. 

    Hopefully the government hammer them like you said but I seriously doubt they'll start going after individual football clubs & any backlash isn't coming from the league officials as they have been as quiet as we all expected they would be. 

    By the time it all calms down again, they'll either have won a few games & pulled some points back and they'll just want to discuss 'football matters' going forward or the league will be all but finished & he'll have been sacked.

    Agreed.

    Lennon also said he wants an apology from Andy Walker before he or any of his players talk to Sky Sports in the near future. Wouldn't that breach their basic media requirements under the terms of their membership?

  7. It's unbelievable that they took 60 people to Dubai 

     

    Celtic explain why they haven't revealed identity of second coronavirus case

    By Aidan Smith

    -----------------

    Neil Lennon has explained why Celtic have not revealed the identity of their second positive coronavirus case.

    The Hoops manager was alerted of the positive case yesterday during his press conference and he explained the situation to the media.

    He said: "Just to clarify we have had one other person who has been deemed positive.

    "We have had two out of the whole 60. I do know who it is but the person would rather remain private for now."

    Lennon did confirm that the positive test was a player and that he was part of the group who have been isolating due to Christopher Jullien's earlier positive result.

  8. 5 hours ago, the cry was no said:

    Already this year TLB has accused a ref of being too quick to get his red card out and having a poor game, broke Covid protocols at a pool in Dubai, accused the government of playing politics and pushing an agenda, threatened Sky, lashed out in an unprofessional manner at various journalists, wrongly accused two fellow clubs of failing to follow Covid protocols, wrongly claimed his club have broken no Covid rules, undermined his CEO and conducted the most outrageous press conference in living memory and still he remains untouchable.

    Our governing bodies are a disgrace.

    Where's Clare??????????

    Enough is enough, he should be up on multiple charges including bringing the game into disrepute

    Shambles

    Agreed. Where's is Clare?

    What annoyed me was Lennon saying ...

    “There seems to be some sort of agenda being driven here. We have been decimated by these rules. I’m not convinced they’re a public health issue. It seems political". 

    If they had followed the covid protocols to the letter then they wouldn't have been decimated.He seems oblivious to the health risk. His players have lives outside of football, they would have been spreading the virus to the general public, if the government health officials hadn't stepped in and made them isolate. 

    I don't believe the government as an agenda against cfc, they abused the protocols set out to keep everyone safe.  Now they are passing the buck by blaming the government for not stopping the trip. Do they need to be policed to follow protocols, because that's what they are saying by blaming the government.

    I hope the government now respond by doing the investigation that the SFA refused to do. The SFA would then be obliged to sanction their club, the same as other clubs.

    A part of me thinks this stand Lennon has taken is to try and get their fans onside before season tickets are due, as they have started to protest again. They are demanding Lawwell and Lennon are sacked before they will renew their season tickets. I think they'll find it hard to remove them.

    Get your point

    However they have just fucked off to Dubai for a 'training camp' in the middle of a pandemic which caused them to catch Covid, been caught lying at the pool having a swally the day they arrived, have said a player wasnt able to play who then plays, refused to get tested again on the day of the match, had their manager have a full on breakdown live on camera & then had a 2nd player who tested positive...

    That sounds as ridiculous as your post however that ones completely true 😂

     

     

    Agreed but would add they've picked a fight with the FM, they've basically said she has an agenda against them. When in reality they just don't know how to follow the rules like the rest of sport has.
