In four days the player never said a word about his trip to anyone? This stinks of shit. Big time. Yet they had cause to test him twice..... Presumably one of which would have been at the time when he wasn't even in the country. Hmmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one it’s against anti doping rules where days where the players are not training or match days they have to report where they will be for an hour each day. Or have they broke anti doping rules aswell as government guidelines and sfa Covid protocol? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6superbarry6 14,109 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 If this was us, we’d 100% either have fixtures postponed or forced to play a reserve team until our players were available, whole thing fucking stinks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,029 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The correct thing to do is ban the nonces for 14 days from Sunday and all games are forfeited including the CL. Other clubs shouldn’t be punished due to these cunts not following the rules. Border Force and Police Scotland need involved also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic 4,654 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 They should be fucking hammered for this. What a collective of utter fucking scum. There's no sense in punishing everyone else following the rules just to fucking suit these cunts. Aberdeen missing most their team? Lol, get fucked, you're playing your games. Fenians royally fuck it up? Ok, let's stop everything til they're ready to continue Get so far to fuck with this shit. If this was us we'd already have the result overturned and been put into isolation as a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidermansGaffer 2,552 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 celtic Football Club unreservedly condemns and apologises for the behaviour of the player Boli Bolingoli in travelling to Spain without informing the club and in failing to observe quarantine restrictions. It is difficult to imagine a more irresponsible action in current circumstances and we find it beyond explanation. The Club will take immediate action through our own disciplinary procedures. celtic are in touch with every SPFL club today, and with all relevant authorities, to apologise for the fact that one of our employees has created so much additional difficulty through his actions. All of our playing and backroom staff have been tested twice for Covid-19 since this incident and all, including the player in question, have tested negative. While this comes as a relief to all concerned, it in no way diminishes the seriousness or stupidity of the player’s actions. Since the Covid -19 crisis began, we have had a safe and healthy squad of players, recording not one positive test. As a club, we have worked tirelessly to ensure a sustained, safe environment for all. We have led the way in working with the football authorities and Scottish Government to establish the most rigorous, effective protocols and working practices, which ultimately led to the resumption of football. We could have done no more in this area. It is a matter of the deepest regret to us that the behaviour of one individual has jeopardised that reputation and reflected discredit on football more generally.

Guaranteed that they've only issued that statement because they now know a league-wide 'pause' is about to hit everyone. More sponsor/tv fines ahoy, share the misery! If that is the case and it magically doesn't impact their CL qualifier, their years of cherry picking people for the right places has just paid off massively for them.

This is where the real issue is for me. Player going is a monumental fuck up but celtic NEED to confirm he was tested along with the rest of the squad and submitted on time.
