And here come the voices of the people that didn’t want the season to go ahead and now rather than disappear and take their negativity to some other forum or some where else they are determine to moan about it going ahead! I genuinely believe some people would get satisfaction with the season getting cancelled even though they are not involved either way! if you don't like difference of opinion it's probably you who needs to go elsewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE63 exile Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 There again you may be aware of loads of cases brought about by the outdoor sporting and leisure activities ....... Well, examples? Interesting to see that in England the lower levels of football i.e. semi-pro and amateur have been allowed to play. There must have been many thousands of matches so far, some with attendances in the 100's so where are the examples? In the circumstances how is this not targeting by SG? Having said that SG is better than the Wales Government which has blocked all league football except for the "Anglos" and the top division, the Cymru Premier. I have read that the blocked clubs are up in arms about it (see Welsh Football Magazine). I guess the SG and WG see lower levels of football (below SPFL and CP) as easy targets. Meanwhile covid soared away in both places, hardly different to parts of England. Figure it out for yourself.Nothing been played in England during this current lockdown below the National League North or South. All levels of football were operating prior to that although restrictions were in place where games were played to restricted crowd levels in Northumberland & Durham in Northern League games while games in the Northern Alliance and Wearside League’s were behind closed doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out a matter of interest how many tier 4 areas do your players and coaching staff have to pass through to get to Darvel for a game ??? To class teams in the WoSFL as professional while the majority of society has to stay within their council areas is a joke of the highest order So if you are say, an electrician and you stay in Glasgow, but work in Edinburgh... As it's paid employment, are you allowed to go to work ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Unnecessary travel causing a spike ? More like the schools, shops, pubs and work places id guess - along with people not wearing masks or distancing. Seemed strange to give professional status to something which clearly ISNT . Unless there's a boom in football related cases, just let em keep playing.Good luck to everyone North of the Border anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holsten Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I am surprised that that West of Scotland get to keep playing .I do get why SPFL teams are playing to generate some sort of normality and football to watch .These teams get tested about 4 times a week Our League no one is tested and there will have been players who have played 90 mins for their clubs on a Saturday and tested positive during the following week ....how the f**k does that work when you have been in close contact with 22 players as the games are not cancelled the next week Any one who has being contacted by Track and Trace after being tested positive can tell them what ever they want and that's the info they collate and then they contact the people in question I know the NHS protect app is different in regards to tracking movement s once tested positive but I don't trust it myself but I am a bit of an old technophobe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WOSFL teams are only taking advantage of the status they have been given to them so you can hardly blame the players and clubs for taking advantage of this. You should be moaning to the SFA and Scottish Government with regards to the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 For those in doubt the SFA provided guidance for what was permissable at Level/Tier 4 when the system was put in place. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football-development/return-to-football-hub/covid-protection-levels-guidance/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelman Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 No …… What I expect is for players and clubs to follow the guidelines that have been put in place.So if the teams are classed as professional and that allows them to be exempt from the restrictions then technically they are not breaking any rules, so what is the problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools,colleges and Universities with thousands of pupils/students inside them with no masks or social distancing is more madness than that but for some reason they must stay open. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
