Explained there were three of us but they wouldn't budge, so bought two then Mrs Canary had to go in to get another. Bit of common sense required methinks. Why restrict sandwiches? Who on earth would want to horde them?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CELTIC1CALEY3 644 Report post Posted March 21 The Good News is fantastic. If I had a dream about really Good News on top of this Good News it would be that Scotland's riches club by far, Celtic, donated a matching £1.5m to the SFA for distribution amongst other clubs. They are a great family club but putting a small sum back into the Scottish game would be absolutely honourable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is, we'd only be getting about £31k, and it's been said it wouldn't be distributed evenly, so we could either be handed a blessing or what feels like a middle finger in the face Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert 718 Report post Posted March 24 Some great reminders of games on the club’s twitter feed. Also the full cup final and a great one liner from Captain Carl “great to see the last 15 minutes for the first time”. Stay safe all and follow the guidance strictly.

Yngwie 3,755 Report post Posted March 24 Does anyone know what’s happening at the club just now? Can they make our players furloughed employees in order to claim government funding for most of the wage bill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buster 154 Report post Posted March 26 Hopefully the Football Manager, CEO, Operations Manager, Stadium Manager, Commercial Manager, Safety Manager and any of the other growing number of managers at the club are leading by example and being the first to take a cut.

Robert 718 Report post Posted March 27 Heard on radio earlier that a lot of clubs are furloughing players and the SFA have given advice. Don’t know if we are or how many of ours earn more than the £2500 per month limit. Article said it could help to keep a lot of smaller clubs alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert 718 Report post Posted March 28 I can’t work out how to copy a post I’ve made on the serious discussion thread but today my best man is in isolation in Raigmore waiting for his test results. It just brings it home how close to all of us this virus is. Take care all and follow the advice. Don’t be complacent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buster 154 Report post Posted March 29 There's a few people on here need to wake upnto just how nice and loyal most footballers are. Guys like Tremarco, Warren, Raven etc. where/are the exception and it wasn't that long ago that we were being told that a sizeable number of the squad were refusing to extend contracts which would have offered them and the club a bit of security going forward. Nowthere's an expectation that clubs keep players on in order to protect their income beyond the contract expiry dates? Tell them all to do one and perhaps they'll learn the lesson that you reap what you sow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsmills 5,387 Report post Posted March 29 A bit off topic but it is heartening to note the change of tone on this site in the last couple of weeks with posters, at least the great majority of them, being far more polite and respectful of one another with sarcastic, dismissive or aggressive responses to posts very much reduced and 'red dotting' almost non existent whilst healthy debate and polite disagreement is still able to continue. It would be fantastic to think that we could continue in this vein once normal life is resumed. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
