    That was my thought, the other 6 who haven't tested positive need to do the full 14 day isolation, if any of them are back training then that's a breach of the guidance again! Surely Aberdeen haven't made that mistake though, they'll have asked a million times for clarification.

    Thought Bruce Anderson was one of the confirmed cases anyway?

    The 6 non-positives went back today. It was 14 days isolation from the night out. The 2 positives are not back yet.

    Seen a few suggest he may have deleted it as it could have indicated they were the two who contracted COVID. Not sure on the ins and outs of the return to work guidance so can’t comment on how reliable this is.
     

    Though, if this was the case, I don’t know if he would be bound by any type of rules regarding patient confidentiality, bar wanting to stay on good terms with the club etc.

    Neither of them were the positive cases anyway.

    The 6 who had to self-isolate returned today, the positive cases return later in the week. 

  3. Might look like an odd position to be going for now but he'll be needed once the 8 are sorted out. 

    McKenna - Selling this transfer window
    Cosgrove - Selling this transfer window
    McGeouch - for sale/loan this transfer window, possible mutual release
    Bryson - available for free/released end of season
    Anderson - available for free/released end of season
    Devlin - available for free/released end of season
    Kennedy - may survive
    Hayes - will survive

  4. These are scottish government guidelines being flouted - not footballing ones. The scottish government should be enforcing these for everyone - including footballers. I don't see why any punishments should include the footballing authorities or clubs. If the SPFL really need to be seen by the government to do something then give suspensions to the individual players. Caught breaching the Scottish government guidelines? 14 days self isolation & a 3 game suspension beyond those 14 days. Will soon see players fall in line and if not they are just harming their own team. 

    Remember this "2nd incident" took place before or at least as the Aberdeen story was coming out. Not as if Bolongoli saw the Aberdeen stuff and through "im away to Spain for a jolly". 

  5. Still comes across as excuse making. Claiming ignorance of the rules is beyond belief considering the level of procedures they go through every day in order to train together. They're not allowed to give each other lifts to work, changing rooms are restricted to 4 players max and it's one person to a table when eating at the training ground but he claims they thought because they worked together they were one big household?

    Liar.

  6. The "bubble" exists only on the training field and pitch. They go through procedures before entering the field which give them the allowance to then ignore social distancing for the duration of training/the game.

    As soon as they come off the field they are strictly distanced again - to the extent of 3/4 people to a changing room, 1 person to a table if eating on site and not giving eachother lifts to training. 

    The notion that these 8 thought they could go out for a meal/drinks in a group of 8 and this would be within the rules is moronic and they are a bunch of cowards for hiding behind ignorance as an excuse.

    No language like that but does say there is a chance all players and staff will have to isolate and that it's likely return to training protocols were broken.

    The second half of the email says:

    "Suggested actions at this stage may be to:

    • Cancel Aberdeen's upcoming fixture this weekend against St Johnstone in Perth

    .....

    If the rules have been broken then all test and protect protocols will need to be followed, which may in turn result in the cancellation of further Aberdeen Fixtures"

    Not a ball kicked in anger for almost five months and both our main strikers injured - this is very AFC.

    I remember McInnes singing the praises of the medical staff during a relatively injury free season a few years back - presumably this is all just down to bad luck?

    It's because a main tactic with our signings under McInnes has been to get players who would otherwise have been beyond our reach but who have suffered with injuries and so come back down into our bracket financially and in terms of ambition. Fine to get some of those guys in but when it seems to be the main strategy the manager then bemoaning "luck" when most of them suffer recurrences of their injures is moronic.

    It wouldn't surprise me if he starts McGinn or Kennedy as striker. This situation reminds me of last season against Motherwell. Going into the game with Campbell as the only fit centre mid, only for Leigh and Vynner to play. 

    I think one of them (probably McGinn) will play off of Anderson. Plan seems to have been to go for a back 3/5 and 2 up front but that might be scrapped/delayed now.
