Guest Flash Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 22 minutes ago, Mr Waldo said: I can't remember the figures but I am sure HAFC got docked the exact number of points to keep a certain club safe. That certain club was above them in league and whose chairman was partly responsible for the punishment. They were deducted 15 points that put them 4 points behind Queens with 3 games to play. I don’t think we had anybody from the club involved with the SFL at the time. We did have a chairman who was President of the SFA in the late 70s but that was more than 20 years before this event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any details of either mate - assume meal could have been in a location that allows for easier social distancing than a boozer, but given infection is still apparent then avoiding all unnecessary public gatherings for a wee bit longer wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to do for either set of players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Sky would be delighted to have it on the 19th, but UEFA rules mean it can't be on TV up against the CL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those in isolation would be allowed out on the 19th. They need a days training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions League semi final on the 19th. Fair enough, albeit that's an 8pm kick off, nothing to suggest the game couldn't have been played at 5.30pm. Either way whilst Aberdeen are at a disadvantage for the Hamilton and Celtic games as a result, the one team that's been inconvenienced other than Aberdeen get no advantage at all, other than the 8 players having not trained for a fortnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the restaurant you basically don't need to move at all unless you need a pish. At Soul they were cramming strangers in to tables to get more folk in along with no social distancing whatsoever in the queue. I'd also imagine you've got drunk lassies trying to get in amongst the players along with dafties giving them grief for the result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying that the Aberdeen players were 'provoked' into getting the coronavirus? Hibs fans at it again no doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
