    The JRG statement only mentioned one male club by name. A little bit rich of Broadfoot to go down the all about Hearts route to denigrate the argument when a statement, I assume he helped craft, specifically singled out Hearts.

    Personally, I'm not foaming at the mouth on the decision, just don't understand why they couldn't have let Hearts carry on training and avoid more tedious arguments.

    Because Hearts are outwith the top flight and other Championship clubs wanted to resume?

    I said at the time anyone training should be done for industrial manslaughter. And I stand by that.

    As much as there's a health implication, just seems a bit pointless if they come back in Jan or whatever feeling like they've played half a season! I get clubs cutting pitches to stop them turning into hayfields but the training beyond what is required seems counter-productive. Especially now. Anyone anticipating an 'as you were' on the 24th?

    i love some guys thinking that our level will be starting soon but i just cant see it , professional players are only getting in dressing rooms for training 4 at a time so how part time players can meet testing and bubble demands i really dont know 

    Why have Darvel been training since May or whatever then?

    People need to wake up. Things aren't relaxing, people are, and that's the huge difference - complacency will only see the R number shoot up, just as it's doing nearly all over Europe now. It'll happen here too, and large parts of the north of England are in basic lockdown again, and they'll have been travelling all over the place, just as others will have travelled there.

    There's an inevitability about it all. At the moment, the sheer stupidity of Aberdeen and Celtic has given the Scottish track and trace system seems to be working much better than anything down south, because it's done with the cooperation of local authorities and Health Boards. If they can track and trace and keep the R number at a managebale number, that's a whole different ball game, but I don't envisage a starting dat of October at all.

    Maybe Lanarkshire in its own wee world but on top of the small supermarket with a clientele not wearing masks, I was in the cafe of a bigger supermarket earlier on and was not asked for any track and trace details , they were serving entire families not wearing masks and they were allowing people to sit at tables that had not been cleaned. Plates stacked on some tables, the table we were to be sitting at was cleared of dishes but was unwiped, covered in crumbs and a couple of torn sugar sachets. It was not even busy - maybe 50% of tables in use? Track and trace is utterly flawed if what I have seen today is anything to go by. At least in Argyll people are a bit more switched on about it.

    The point I am making what is the difference between 22 players playing at say Ibrox and 22 players playing at Auchinleck 

    I don’t see any,  so what goes at Ibrox will go at Auchinleck until they change the rules

    We have that spelled out by the Stenny chairman up the thread - the p/t teams are getting treated same as full-timers.

    Airdrie announced they weren't ready to go back the other day - wonder if they'll be reconsidering 20-21?? It's happened high enough up the pyramid in England, Droylsden for one.

    Was down the Palace grounds in Hamilton yesterday and counted 4 adult teams doing pre season with absolutely no sign of social distancing, players drinking out of the same bottle and car sharing to go home. Expect that’s happening all over the place and won’t go unnoticed by the powers that be I suspect 

    Was in a small supermarket less than a few miles away today as the crow flies and the only customer (among pushing double figures) wearing a mask was me. Some people just do not get it.

    Not all clubs could take part, but if they have pubs or clubs in or adjacent, are they allowed to open? I'm thinking of Cumbernauld or Cambuslang who have beer gardens. What's to stop them opening the bar when an officially closed door game is taking place in the background?

    Can you take booze outside on matchday usually? I don't recall pints on the terrace last time I was at GM (2 seasons back?).

    God bless the SPFL / SPL and in particular Aberdeen and Celtic. The two teams, who have done more than anyone else to endanger the game in Scotland by the reckless action of some of their players get away scott free, whilst everyone else has their training cancelled until August 24th. Bring back Tom Johnston ffs....

    Why? Juniors cancelled too!

    A bit of a technicality there.

    Clubs have hardly been selling tickets for the games have they? 

    There is clearly a view clubs are getting ahead of themselves. And now training cancelled for at least 11 days.

    People know all of this. They don't need to be treated like weans and given a slap on the wrist when all they are doing is working around the provisional dates that have already been provided. 

    When Government guidance comes out, and they say you can only play a game if you do X, Y & Z, clubs will know their provisional game can/can't go ahead based on the guidance given. Don't arrange provisional friendlies early, then you could end up without a game IF we get the green light for the provisional dates already provided and most of the other clubs already have games lined up. 

    Football just wants something to look forward to. Or we could just continue to tip toe around the Scottish Government and be scared to annoy then and continue to be depressed....

    They weren't saying don't arrange  - they were saying don't announce.

    They are only provisional friendlies, what's the problem with trying to be organised? They are treating adults like naughty schoolboys. 

    They have asked clubs to stop advertising and publishing dates for games which may not take place.

    Any details or evidence of these protocols which restrict footballers outside work more than you or I? The eight Dons players broke the law (no more than three households in group indoors) and so did Bolingoli (isolation after being in Spain).

    Alex Dyer (I think) said he had told his players they could go to restaurants and not pubs. So assuming Killie are acting within the protocols, and the protocols do what you say they do, does that mean that the protocols say that its okay to go to restaurants but not to pubs?

    Jason Leitch said today that one more breach means he will have to recommend to Scottish Government that 'sporting bubbles' don't work. It is a non-essential industry allowed to reduce social distancing between employees.

    He also made quite a telling remark, saying that as a result of the meeting (yesterday, and I paraphase slightly) he is confident clubs know what they're doing now, fairly confident managers do but much less so about players.
