I’m not sure the posters of P&B are discouraging people to say stuff. Maybe overestimating the power of this forum

Why was it not good publicity? I thought both the FM and Professor Leach made the position clear.

Genuine question, are your team considering stopping playing, or have they approached the league with their concerns?

A lot of assumptions there, however, happy to agree to disagree.

It’s not just non league football though is it? So I don’t buy your argument that the government just don’t care or don’t have the time to look at it. I would imagine that there is a fair bit of dialogue between the government and the SFA over this.

Do you not think that Government, who have been pretty strict with rules so far, would allow this to continue if they had any doubts whatsoever?

If the Government deemed this to be a contributing factor to the outbreak, they would have no hesitation in stopping it. I get your point re the stakes, so maybe at this level, then it should be looked at.

Given the government’s stance so far on this virus, then surely if they thought playing football was an exceptional risk then they would stop it? They are obviously looking at the evidence and listening to actual experts, not Monday morning quarterbacks. If they had any doubt then they would stop it.

When these “thousands” gallivant all over the country, what do you think they do? As far as I am aware they go to the opposition ground, play the game, back in their mode of transport and go home. They don’t go to the local town and mix and hang about with the locals.

There was never a chance anyway imo.

He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.

Was there no way to clear the Ainslie Park pitch of snow?

I expect the LL fixture secretary will be working overtime this week.

Forecast for rest of week isn’t much better, you may be looking at next midweek before this is played.

Interesting, what is a “pretend team”? Are you insinuating that Shire fall in that category?

Not sure to be honest. I’m not even sure the correct player has been named by the poster who named him?

If that is the boys name then he was only suspended from the clubs next league match, according to the suspension list that is anyway.

He has made it up

It’s the other way about, only a certain amount of times a first team overage player can play for dev team.

Chris Strain has hit the nail on the head on Twitter tonight, it’s all about the money.

It would go to a SFA tribunal to decide first mate, I wouldn’t imagine it would need to get as far as the law courts.

Final word on this, as I don’t want to ruin Archie’s dinner. Clubs will sign a player during close season, as soon they register that contract with the SFA, and he appears in the system as your player, it becomes active. It’s irrelevant if you have a clause in saying that you will not pay them until the season starts. By the letter of the law you should be paying him from the first day of the contract. I realise this is not the done deal in lower level football, however it is the correct legal procedure. would you sign an employment contract at work with the conditions mentioned by Archie?

That’s up those clubs Archie my man.

Just a glory hunter mate, still have a soft spot for the Shire, but I think Darvel have a better chance of winning things.

Of course it is, imagine having to go in front of a tribunal with your defence, ffs.
