Scottish FA Lost the Plot

An intriguing response to the lapses by both Aberdeen and Celtic players means punishment for all but the Scottish Premier League !

One would have expected punishment for both Aberdeen and Celtic for the misdemeaners of 8 players from Aberdeen and one player from Celtic.

No, don`t be silly, lets punish other people instead !

"The Scottish FA has agreed that the return to training for clubs outside the SPFL Premiership - which includes all organised adult football over-18 - will be delayed until at least 24 August, pending updated government guidance on the 20th".

How can this be possible ! In fact why not let an English Football Team train in Edinbugh instead. You just can`t make this up !

A comment from the DAFC.net fans forum sums it up:

It was 2 clubs from the premiership who screwed up. The result is they keep on training and playing but the diddy leagues have to stop???? You couldn`t make this nonsense up.

Another poster blames the Scottish Government:

This is nonsense and affects football at all levels throughout the country - can’t blame the football authorities though - this was imposed on them by Jason Leitch and Nicola Sturgeon - if they hadn’t accepted it they would have closed down the leagues again for a period.

The punishment so far for Aberdeen and Celtic are postponed games, but no punishemnt to the players directly responsible ?

In some way you can forgive the Aberdeen players, they overstepped a little bit but surely Boli Bolingoli the Celtic player who went to Spain for 1 night (Yes, one night!!) without telling his club must go. His tenure at Celtic must now be untenable.
