That is the flaw in the 'let them in, we'll socially distance, promise gov' idea. Edited October 11, 2020 by cmontheloknow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct but inside Red/Amber zone they are but in that picture there are 11between 18 yard line and halfway line so only another 7 can be inside amber zone aye right !!!! Perfect example that clubs will not follow the rules that are set out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we incapable of replicating this, why aren't clubs being given the chance?There are a multitude of inconsistencies, a major one being outdoors in the open air watching a game of fitba whilst you can be indoors at a pub, cafe or restaurant only 1m distanced, or in a gym or swimming pool where changing rooms can be used. In fact Leitch has already said it's safe.Whitehill Welfare tweeted last week about all the measures they have in place yet cant let anyone in. They hit the nail on the head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) ....the cases are climbing because schools, universities, workplaces, pubs and restaurants are open because we need to save the economy from crashing and continue with children's education. Life can't come to a complete standstill for what could be many years waiting for a vaccine for a virus with an IFR of only 0.2%. You have lost all sense of proportion.

Well done to the Talbot for puting the players, fans and wider community before football. For me it speaks volumes that the biggest club at our level have decided not to play under the current climate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeforchange Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I don’t think I have seen a single email from any Premier league club objecting to the promotion and relegation issue they all seem quite happy with what is happening . Fair play to Talbot , Kilbirnie and Cumnock with Pollok to probably follow suit and decide on their course of action. 2 years in the premier league with no relegation ? they have won a watch. The conferences have been shafted or mislead all along and it would appear that some delegates have miss understood what has been getting said at all these zoom call meetings and at Hampden and East Kilbride . What has happened apart from the change in the 4 leagues to a Premier and 3 conferences has been on the cards all along their is no mistake about it. Have been saying it for months and nobody has been taking it in now boom all emails floating about it only was ever going to take 1 team common knowledge to make it non competitive. To quote the saying from a man we all know Conquer and Divide 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchairfan Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 For the teams pulling out- will they retain their squads or will players move on to play for a team this season and then potentially move back at the start of next season whenever that is? I can totally understand teams pulling out but what will the knock on impact be to their squads? I would imagine a lot of boys will end up wanting to play if possible regardless of cash in the short term if it’s not available 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Wouldn't be a Scottish football statement without learning a new word: quixotic - "extremely idealistic; unrealistic and impractical." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieb Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Just now, LongTimeLurker said: Hard to see how contracts have not been broken by doing this, so players are almost certainly free to leave. Our players are not contracted to be paid until the first competitive match so their contracts have not been broken. Players, management and committee were all in agreement that it is unsafe to resume playing. As for any individual players deciding they want to leave - I expect there will be further developments across the WoSFL that will influence that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
