But to then call off the game again, after fans may have then taken that day off to find out they didn’t need it - a joke of an organisation. Celtic were without 13 players. Didnt St mirren have to draft in Zlamal? It’s double standards really. It was St Johnstone Bobby come and helped out. Week Before our Scottish cup final we had to play Celtic at parkhead with a team of kids and reserves, one sub and a goalie who just signed that day and had not met any team mates until the warm up. We got scudded 6 nil but just had to get on with it. Double standards are horrendous Edited November 2, 2021 by perthsaint1977 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I would have thought both County and Livi would be demanding we forfeit the games. But the lure of the Leith pound is hard to turn down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Given 2 chances to play the game. Time for Hibs to forfeit the tie and 3 points awarded to Ross County. Same should apply to their game on Saturday too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Celtic side that played was actually still a very strong team, and St Mirren still had more than the required number of players needed in a matchday squad. You need 13 players, 10 need to be over 18. Hibs obviously don't have that so the games been postponed. Hopefully all the players are well and recover but the fact some of our fans are trying to cloak this as some kind of conspiracy is just stupid That's exactly the kind of balanced, sensible, objective point that has no place on P&B, or the entire internet for that matter. You should be ashamed of yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Sincerely hope all those infected are ok and that they recover fully. Truly a shite situation for any team. On a completely separate note, hopefully the few weeks off helps them find form and they totally romp their postponed games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully all the players are well and recover but the fact some of our fans are trying to cloak this as some kind of conspiracy is just stupidNo don’t get me wrong I completely understand that it’s different circumstances to the other games - and I certainly don’t think the SPFL have a vandetta against County. The health of the Hibs players comes first and foremost obviously.My point was more why did the SPFL think that it was plausible to rearrange one game in the hope that the Hibs players would miraculously recover in 3 days. It shows that they’re incompetent and stupid but I guess that’s no news to anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 So just to be clear, Hibs can't bring in other players in the same way we were forced to bring in a keeper? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 If they're found to have breached covid protocols then the games should be forfeited, if not then I don't see the problem rescheduling them. Hope all players involved aren't too seriously affected and make a full recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Can’t Hibs just bring in 10 emergency loans and get on with things? I thought that was protocol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most likely explanation is that the entire Scottish football system is permeated with an anti-St Mirren agenda aimed at destroying your club. Either that or people are just trying to administer the game as best they can, keep players safe, get games on and apply the league rules. But that's a pretty unlikely scenario IYAM. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 So just to be clear, Hibs can't bring in other players in the same way we were forced to bring in a keeper? St Mirren were not forced to bring in a keeper. St Mirren had enough players available to play the game under the SPFL rules (which they presumably voted for). They chose to bring in a keeper.Had St Mirren only had 12 registered players available, or only 9 players over 18 available, they would not have been forced to sign anyone to get the game one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
