resk Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Aberdeen have survived in this league on far flimsier pretexts. It’s time to throw the book at them.Hiding behind the fact Stranraer don’t have regulation shower heads and therefore can’t take their place in the top flight won’t save them this time.House! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Doesn't the match have to be cancelled now? As shite as it would be so early in the season. Is it the case that you don't necessarily test positive automatically when you get the virus, it might be a day or more before it shows up in a test? Happy to be corrected on the science here. But if that is the case, why on earth would they risk infection spreading to another club when it can hopefully be contained to just the one. I'd be amazed if something doesn't come out on the back of this in terms of the Scottish government jumping on it. They've hinted a few times at how folk socialising are being complacent and risk starting a second wave, so feel this might the ideal opportunity for them to make an example of public figures/ the club, or football in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two players being positive either means its either spreading through the squad, which means the game will have to be cancelled (a negative test doesn't prove you don't have the virus if its too early since exposure), or that both players (maybe more) breached protocol, which means they should be named and shamed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. Could be 3-5 day it seems before you can test positive, and you're contagious before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Can we please stop saying that the game will be cancelled. It won't be cancelled. Cancelled means called off permanently, never to be rearranged.The match will be postponed if there are too many positive cases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to come down to that level of pedantry, there's no guarantee the season will play to a finish. Maybe fixtures will have to be cancelled! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 RandomGuy was on the Falkirk thread a couple of weeks ago saying this was literally impossible, so I'm not surprised to see he wants people put in stocks in the High Street for contracting a highly contagious virus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our game against St Mirren was literally cancelled for that reason just weeks ago. A Twitter search shows folk from Aberdeen talking about a group of their players being at the Soul bar on Saturday night, they've tweeted this before news of the first positive test came out. Not a good look for the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like us to play a weakened Aberdeen team, we've waited long enough for football to restart without having games put off already. But if theres potentially Aberdeen players carrying the virus that haven't yet tested positive, is it worth the risk of it spreading to another club? Then Saints play rangers and Hibs and we get a chain of cases throughout the league. Possibly they are expecting this to happen, and the leagues attitude is get on with it and field a team of non-affected players, but I'd be surprised if the government were okay with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I will be watching Sky Sports football at 12.30 on Saturday and there’s absolutely nothing that the SPFL, Aberdeen or the Scottish Government can do to stop me. I'm envisaging some kind of Estonia v Scotland scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
