Dons_1988 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Tough for Hearts fans when they realise that their next couple of months will basically just consist of grasping at any COVID-related straw they can until their miserable lower league campaign gets up and running. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they need to clearly state the repercussions of what will happen if any player acts irresponsibly or unprofessionally especially given this ongoing pandemic. That clearly hasn't happened up to last Saturday... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I saw on Facebook was something along the lines of: "Do we think this is the players reacting to the defensive tactics we've been employing recently??? Makes you wonder...decision to make about Mcinnes now!!!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played absolutely dreadful on Saturday and the players looked unfit. Then a large group of these unfit players went into the city centre during a pandemic to celebrate the miserable defeat. There must be a culture at the club that makes this acceptable. That culture must be encouraged by McInnes and his management team. But you want us to relieve the 750k per annum McInnes of any responsibility for this state of affairs?

HopeStreetWalker Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Unclean ! Unclean ! The playing staff and management should be issued with brown cloaks and a bells and made to march up and down Union Street for a few hours. They have let themselves down, the club down and worse of all the support. These excuses for professional footballers deserve the ridicule and derision that is going to come their way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players fitness has nothing to do with whether the players made their own decision to go to a bar or not. I would doubt the manager has told them it's fine to go out. If he has then he should also be disciplined. I'm not going to get upset or angry about it while it's nothing but speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol has infested Scottish football for decades. Aberdeen are likely just the first club to have players doing this as the virus spreads around their city. If Perth had an outbreak last weekend I daresay it would be us being hammered just now. Hopefully gives players a kick up the arse to act more professionally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people all over the country aren't socially distancing as they should - in the current circumstances pro football players who have been allowed to play games should ken better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were also given the privilege (and it is very much a privilege just now) of being able to resume their profession and earn a living. Hundreds of thousands of others would love that opportunity just now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always cringe when politicians say people expect professional footballers to act as role models, I can't think of a demographic where that is less the case, but they broke specific rules put in place to allow football to go ahead, so they should be hammered and the points given to St Johnstone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I'm not sure Sturgeon could have ignored this - mainly for the reasons mentioned by The Marly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a few years ago now but the last game of the invincible season I was surprised how much Aberdeen players were out on their arses after an hour. Yes they would have been more tired with us having more possession but I would say on average our players had played a dozen more games that season. Then when we signed Hayes he looked well off the pace of our squad which is why he took so long to break through initially. I don't think the Aberdeen players are much worse than the average SPFL team but there paid a fair bit more than the rest so should be a fair bit fitter really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Surely the club must currently have rules in place regarding going to bars at present even with the apparent inability of scottish footballers to abstain from alcohol during a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
