MOTHERWELL manager Stephen Robinson has argued it would be wrong to heavily punish an industry for individual mistakes.
The Fir Park boss referred to Boli Bolingoli in his press conference this morning amid reports that the Scottish Premiership season could be cancelled after the Celtic defender ignored strict quarantine rules after travelling to Spain.
When asked what the consequences would be if the season was halted, Robinson said: “People will lose jobs, the industry will go to pieces, make no mistake about that.
“I just don’t think in any shape or form Scottish football should be closed down. It’s individual errors, if they are true.
“I see from every club and every person I speak to in Scottish football, we are doing more than any other industry, 10 times more, but it doesn’t sell papers.
“When one person makes a mistake it goes all over the place and gets exaggerated tenfold. I am not condoning anything that happened but it is being dealt with.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
