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.

Sickening how they are always the victims. Absolute bullshit, they need punished.

No one better than celtic at turning  misdemeanours and guilt into victimhood. Plenty of sympaticos up here to play the spin game to their advantage.

Not just blame being shifted. They are being praised for their way of throwing him under the bus.

Hollicom are like a media mafioso.

At the end of the day the beasts need to take some sort of responsibility here just like they should be doing with the abuse scandal.

Not in their DnA,  I'm afraid

Am I reading this correctly?  The SPFL are set to ratify a range of punishments for players, including fines, suspensions and possibly community service for breaching covid regulation ?? So the SPFHell have come up with a plan to punish players who havent kept to their protected bubble by sending them outside of their protective bubble into the community ???? seriously

   They would almost certainly wait till after the isolation period before making them do community service.

Yes, but are these players not meant to be in some kind of bubble to keep them away from the general public? 

What we do know is any rules they come up with will be absolute shite and only apply to teams not called Sellick.

I can see the tramps getting an award the way they handled this pandemic crisis.

THE JOINT RESPONSE GROUP TODAY OUTLINES A WIDE RANGE OF MEASURES AGREED WITH THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT TO REINFORCE SCOTTISH FOOTBALL’S COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND ADHERENCE TO PROTOCOLS.

These measures have been approved by the JRG and follow extensive discussions with Scottish Government Ministers and health advisers.  
 
They are as follows: 
 
ENFORCEMENT - The JRG has worked to ensure that existing rules will be strengthened to include the provision of sanctions for players who do not adhere to COVID-specific football protocols or government public health guidelines. This will encompass recent breaches and  further details will be provided tomorrow.  
 
EVALUATION - In order to provide government health officials with the necessary confidence that Scottish football can return safely and in accordance with relevant government guidelines and football protocols, the Scottish FA has agreed that the return to training for clubs outwith the SPFL Premiership – which includes all organised adult football over-18 - will be delayed until at least 24 August, pending updated government guidance on the 20th. This is to ensure that:

• All club facilities comply with the current JRG Protocols, social distancing and hygiene measures.

• All club policies and procedures comply with the current protocols and government guidance.

• Club testing regimes in the professional game comply with the protocols.

• Players and staff at all levels of the game have been reminded of the latest government guidance. 
 
EDUCATION - Professor Jason Leitch, the National Clinical Director for Scotland, has produced a video message outlining, in the clearest terms, what professional footballers can and cannot do within the existing government guidelines. This message with be reinforced on a regular basis via digital communication.  
 
ENGAGEMENT - The SPFL and Scottish FA have gifted Scottish Government advertising space to promote public health messaging on matchdays in-stadia, using LED advertising and via other owned assets for all SPFL competitions and the William Hill Scottish Cup semifinals and final. 
 
Rod Petrie, Joint Response Group Chair: “The message from First Minister could not have been clearer. The JRG must now ensure that the planned resumption of football beyond the Scottish Premiership is done in a controlled manner with the strictest adherence to protocols and guidelines.  
 
“The pause on the return to training for the professional game outwith the Scottish Premiership will not impact on the proposed start dates of the respective league competitions but will give sufficient time to reinforce protocols, educate players and make sure of the ability of clubs in the lower divisions to conform.” 
 
Neil Doncaster, SPFL Chief Executive: “Today’s measures underline the fact that Scottish football is doing everything it possibly can to protect our game. The recent, high-profile breaches must be used as further motivation for all those with our game’s best interests at heart to comply absolutely with these necessary restrictions and safeguards.” 

 

So, the players and not the clubs will be held responsible?  Not sure I can agree with that.

Lawwell ain't going to punish himself is he? Just hammer the player his manager doesn't want anymore some more.

[the blue plumber 744]

If that mhob weren’t involved it would be the clubs responsibility which is why Bolingoli will fall on his sword

This is essentially a Health and Safety issue.  The employer carries at least some liability unless they can demonstrate that they took all reasonable steps to make sure their employee understands and complies with any safety systems they put in place.

[Essandoh 21,208]

Not as if they’ve had 5 months to have already put provisions in place. Amateur. As always.

I work with an ex pro footballer who is a sellic fan,he’s played in all divisions and says there is no way sellic didn’t know about Bolingoli being in Spain as each club has a person or persons dealing with the players affairs eg passports are kept by the clubs so mr x says I’m off to wherever and need my passport so the club can keep tabs on him, also that the media knew about this before the game but sat on it to make it a better story.

[GersInCanada 7,775]

That's a terrible statement from that group. Clubs are held responsible for fan actions. But clubs are not responsible for their players (employee) actions. 

Just another stitch up.

[Dave Hedgehog 10,673]

So if an individual fan runs on the pitch the club gets fined?

If an individual player breaks the law and endangers other players health then the club  has nothing to do with it?

You would never guess the Nappy rippers had done wrong. 

Fucking corrupt shithole. 

[BlueThunder 8,454]

What currently happens if a player comes out and says “the spfl is corrupt, referees are bent” etc? Is it the player or the club that is punished? Just trying to find out where the distinction lies. If they punch a referee in the face isn’t the club punished too?

Decent statement from hearts
