That isn’t an apology it’s an excuse. I think St Mirren could possibly give them a run for their money on that front. One thing that did surprise me was that 5 of the 16 that are isolating have all previously had and recovered from Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, unfortunately the jury is still out on whether you can catch it twice. My daughter who caught Covid in the line of duty as a nurse is nonetheless waiting for the vaccine.

The latest article I saw said those that had it and recovered could possibly still catch it and carry it but not become ill from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 One of the isolating 13 players at Celtic now tested positive. Given that 5 have already had it within the last 5 months probably cuts it down to 1 of 8 and can't see the goalie catching it.

I just saw it whilst I agree with his comments about the government knowing about it and not doing anything beforehand. The comments about Saints and Hamilton seem a bit out of the blue and iam sure saints will have something to say about it. I thought from seeing the games on TV that saints had moved away teams into the astro turf changing rooms which from memory are big enough areas.

Linky Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I would suggest that Lennon's comments should get him the sack. "I'm not convinced they're a public health issue." He's effectively saying that the rules put in place around isolating are not based on public health, but on punishing Celtic. "The whole squad is negative bar two players." That's like saying: 'I had a BBQ with all the neighbours, but only 2 of us on the street got Covid'. It takes up to 10 days for symptoms to appear, so there could be others about to come down with it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been there for 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Celtic squad decimated by 13 players out. Well since another one of those has now tested positive it was totally justified for them all to have to isolate. It could have been any one of them. Remarkable that it was just 2 that tested positive, well thats not exactly a ringing endorsement for it being a good idea going to Dubai. What were the comments about Saints?

How many videos are there? I've seen 2 in which he raves on and mentions several teams but heard no mention of Saints. I presume he picked his jotters up on the way out, he can't expect to get away with this his own fans want to lynch him. Wonder what Nicola and John Swinney thought about being referred to as "some government officials"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Lawwell had apologised & admitted in hindsight it was a poor decision to go. Lennon should have let it lie but that's not Lennon style. Its us against the world but I don't think the fans will be with him this time. Lennon said the government should have stopped us. Not my fault gov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Football authorities in Scotland need to view Lennon's comments and decide whether by accusing other Member Clubs of Covid breaches, there are cases to answer, OR he has brought the game into disrepute and should face punishment accordingly. Strange that it has taken Lennon over 3 months to complain about the McDiarmid Park set-up, since the game on 4th Oct. 2020.

Templar Saint Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 GIRUY Neil Lennon You tell him Kirsten Statement from Kirsten Robertson, Head of Football Operations, St Johnstone FC. St. Johnstone Football Club is extremely disappointed with the completely inaccurate and unfounded comments about our facilities made yesterday by Neil Lennon, the Celtic FC manager, in a media conference. We provide one of the largest away team changing areas in the league. Every team, including Celtic, is also provided with a large area for team meetings. We follow all protocols and guidance to ensure the health and safety of all players, staff and officials. When Celtic FC visited McDiarmid Park on October 4th for an SPFL Premiership match, we made sure their every request and requirement was met. Celtic viewed all of our facilities before the game and no issues were raised. No issues were raised with us after the game. All during this challenging period of the past nine months, our Football Club has maintained adherence to the highest of standards. Indeed, the SPFL delegates have commended us on our work during this campaign. Cagerf, south inch, Saintdunc and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
