Blaze Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hearts player has tested positive. Nobody else has been in contact with him so nobody else has to isolate. Amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Off topic, but I see Sunderland have just announced they're postponing their fourth game this season in the name of player safety. It's almost as if there's an out-of-control global, viral, airborne pandemic happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I think everyone should appreciate that football can only continue if the risk of spreading the virus is somewhat mitigated. I’d imagine player safety is the exact reason why the SPFL appear to be coming down hard on clubs that breach covid protocols. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I'm a bit annoyed seeing pictures of crowds at English Non-League Boxing Day fixtures that are the equivalent of East of Scotland games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If player safety was that important, then they'd punish all the breaches, and not just the ones that led to postponements. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent, but I am assuming that the reason the St Mirren and Killie breaches are being punished is because they led to the postponements which forced the SPFL to get involved. Had the games gone ahead, I’d imagine the SPFL wouldn’t have the power to open disciplinary proceedings against the clubs which is likely why nobody else has been investigated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I see that the Everton/Man City game has been called off. You have to wonder, with all the resources at Man City's disposal both financial and squad pool, how they managed to convince the league to pull the fixture at the last moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) With further restrictions to everyday life coming down the chute in the days to come, is the SG going to give 'elite' football a free pass to hold games up and down the country between brickies and fishermen next week? Is Celtic swanning out of the country to go to Dubai and return without going into an effective quarantine an acceptable decision when the public are being told to stay in their house whenever possible? It's time for a shutdown and if that means following Ann Budge's advice in scrapping all relegation then so be it. I'm sure she'll understand that a second season in the Championship is only fair given the circumstances.

bennett Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Rather than trying to play some of their games in hand, they're increasing their pile up. Saving the games for a new manager or players to come in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
