    I've read this a half dozen times now, thankfully without much evidence. Really hoping it's one of those things that's been posted on Facebook and grown arms and legs.

    Apparently it's Romanians who steal your dug at Braehead then leave a mark with chalk outside your house so they can raid your baby formula at night.

    Early 80’s at Love St always used to stand next the segregation fence, playing Morton and got hit just above the eye with a small object, turned out it was the little Scotty Dog from monopoly.

    Dirty Greenock f”ckers 😀

    My mate, who is sadly no longer with us, was a Morton fan and I went along with him to the St.Mirren game in 98/99 season, Saints won 4-1 iirc and they had a huge travelling support with them. Whole Dublin end was full. Think they got promoted that season actually.

    I'm not one for these things but at the end of this, I'd love a beer with the guys on this thread, Something to look forward to - doesn't even have to be before a Scotland game as we all have our pals that we go to games with.

    Can be a night/afternoon in Glasgow/Edinburgh or wherever and just chew the fat over a pint or 8.  This forum could be a place of refuge for many in the coming weeks when things at home etc get on top and folk just need 15 mins to chill!

    Sounds good mate

    Sadly, we've already lost one of the members on another forum I use to this virus, he posted last week to tell us he had been diagnosed with cancer and on the same thread his son announced he was dead just a few days later and confirmed it was the coronavirus that killed him, so we'll be having a beer for him when things get back to normal

    I got email from Ryanair about it this morning saying I could reschedule or refund.

    However, when I try to refund, I just get noweher on website. The button does bugger all.

    Same problem as me. I've since tried on desktop and there's a form to fill out, however when I put in my reservation number it tells me that it's wrong. I'm guessing they're having a large volume to work through and it's causing system issues so will hold off for now.

    Ryanair are offering me the chance to change my flights to Oslo to a different date free of charge.  You only pay any difference in flight costs.  Not interested in that particularly as you seemingly pay significantly more for the flights to rebook than if it was a new booking.

    My outbound flight is on the 28th. I am going to sit tight for a bit and wait for the flights to be cancelled.

    They're refunding me for the flight from London to Oslo on the 30th

  6. Keep the season suspended for now then play the conclusion when it can be played, regardless of how far away that is.

    This season has started so should be finished, future seasons haven't and can be amended to fit the necessary schedule. Nobody should be getting declared champions or relegated on the basis of current league places.

     

  7. Euro 2020, scheduled to take place at 12 venues across Europe this summer, could be postponed to give European leagues time to complete their domestic seasons
    A mini-tournament to decide the Champions League and Europa League will be one option put forward to ease fixture congestion caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

    European football's governing body, Uefa, is hosting a video conference with major stakeholders on Tuesday.

    Euro 2020 is set to be postponed to allow league seasons to be completed.

    A source close to the situation says all parties must be ready to sacrifice something to reach a solution.

    All 55 Uefa members, the boards of the European Club Association and the European Leagues, and a representative of world players' union Fifpro have been invited to Tuesday's meeting.

    The Uefa members will also hold an additional meeting to discuss their own reaction.

    As with the Premier League, who on Friday stressed their commitment to completing the season, Uefa wants the Champions League and Europa League to reach a conclusion because they also have major broadcasting contracts to satisfy.

    Both tournaments are at their last-16 stage, with six matchdays remaining, including the final. There are still 14 last-16 ties across the two competitions to be completed.

    Playing the quarter-finals and semi-finals as one-off games would cut two fixtures off the remaining schedule.

    Playing them over a handful of days as a mini-tournament - in Istanbul and Gdansk, host cities for this season's finals - would concentrate the matches even further, cutting down on travelling and cause the least disruption to the domestic leagues. Rangers would automatically be given a bye to the fnal, if Alex Rae has his way.

    It has not been ruled out these games could be played in conjunction with league matches - nor does the Champions League final have to mark the end of the club campaign as tradition dictates.

    Moving Euro 2020, due to take place at venues across Europe from 12 June to 12 July, to next summer would also free up more time to complete domestic and European fixtures.

    However, that would then impact on next year's calendar.

    Both the Women's European Championship, hosted by England, and the men's European Under-21 Championship, in Hungary and Slovenia, are scheduled for the summer of 2021. The Nations League, the draw for which was held earlier in March, is due to be completed next spring.

    In addition, the first edition of the expanded Fifa Club World Cup is set to be held in China in June.

    While the big domestic leagues have problems over television contracts to solve if games do not take place, most countries rely on the payments from Uefa that come out of major international tournaments to allow their own leagues to function properly. These would be at risk from any movement of the European Championship and are likely to form part of any agreement.

    Uefa has an estimated 400 staff working on the Euros. It is unknown what will happen to them if the tournament does not take place for another 12 months.

    The situation is not made any easier by not knowing when football will be able to resume.

    Uefa accepts it is impossible to know when current travel restrictions will be lifted, but it cannot wait until they are to draft a plan.

    27-10-99 - Celtic 0-1 Motherwell

    Barnes was the manager, Larrson had broke his leg the week before and we paraded Ian Wright at half-time.  We were dreadful and I've had a strong dislike for Motherwell ever since.  

    I went to the match a few days later against Killie -

    30-10-99 - Celtic 5-1 Kilmarnock

    We were 1-0 down at half-time but were excellent in the second half with Viduka getting a hat-trick and Wright scoring on his debut.

    I had the same seat for both games which was behind of of the goals.  All 7 goals were scored in the opposite net.  

    I remember that Motherwell game, Kevin twaddle with the goal midweek game?
