Reading the formal statements coming from Celtic and Rangers deterring fans from participating in any public celebrations or protests that are relative to the Glesca derby match next weekend. The comments were in line with COVID lockdown measures but how unimpressive these comments actually were with remarks referring to stuff like "how many games they have won" which are totally unrelated to the public health issue which they have been forced to participate in by the Scot govt and relative Scot footie authorities. A sincere message of intent was definitely not evident and I must say I've always liked footie but I've finally come to the conclusion there must be a national conversation to debate the status and importance of soccer in our society and the overall scheme of things esp during a challenging period of crisis when COVID has hurt and damaged many people in this country. IMO Scot footie and the attitude, comments, behaviour and actions of people representing the interests of Scot footie have been nothing short of being reprehensible, a disgrace that places the sport in disrepute. There will be an eventual "reckoning"/formal public inquiry that will cover various issues of contention that happened during this dreadful pandemic. There are too many people in Scot footie who think they are more important than they really are!!!
