Mantis Toboggan Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Might as well start this one as it’s game on... Need a win, any sort of win simple as that. Thought we were much better than Forfar in the last 2 games so would like to think we’ll have too much for them again. Hopefully Goodwillie can start to find the back of the net again too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Given our track record over the years with these type of games and the circus around the E Fife fixture I will extremely surprised if we win tonight. sorry for the negativity and will be delighted to be wrong but we very seldom get the desired result in this type of game... years of this has made made me like this sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Really hope the affected Clyde player is ok both physically and mentally. If it wasn't a false positive and even if they're mildly symptomatic - potentially having to isolate this close to the 'end', missing the end of the season, missing work - that can't be nice. I think that's something that's been lost amongst the anger from the other night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofixedability Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Will be a Clyde 3-0 win either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo71 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Are you sure this game is going ahead? Have players been tested? Its ludicrous if they haven't been and may be taking to the pitch while positive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Do we know the identity of the player who is positive yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not think I was being flippant...apologies to anyone who thought I was attempting humour. I was trying, somewhat clumsily it transpires that is there not a chance that the Forfar squad may not wish to risk playing a club that has had a covid positive test? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there is always the chance it could have been a false positive.....I am sure the player will have tested again since Tuesday.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we still use the original tests? Will those in charge have any idea and will communicated this to the clubs....probably not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be hilarious if Clyde travelled up to the game and got another positive test result back half an hour before kick off. I say hilarious, I obviously don't want anyone else catching the virus, but you get what I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernardblack Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Surely this cannot go ahead until all the test results have been returned? What a shambles Edited April 29, 2021 by bernardblack 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Surely this cannot go ahead until all the test results have been returned? What a shambles If the decision was Tuesday's match was to be played, tonight's game will be on. Unless there's an additional positive test before kickoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde4ever Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Still trying to get my head round the implications of all this testing. As I understood it - teams have to supply evidence of negative tests at least 48 hours before a match (In this case Dumbarton at 3pm on Saturday). So, all testing results for Saturday's game should be known long before kick-off tonight. Presumably, if any of them turn out to be positive, the player(s) in question would be sent home - but tonight's game would still go ahead. Am I right, or a meringue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replays Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 No Mitchell, Jack, Jamieson or a lesser spotted Ritchie-Hosler tonight. Seeing as Ritchie-Hosler wasn’t in the squad on Tuesday, our positive case could be one of the three above with the other two possibly close contacts. All the best to whomever it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
