Given that they clearly weren't the "patient zero" for Aberdeen, having all tested negative literally days earlier, why do you think that the footballers are the ones responsible for others catching the disease? Because others see them and think it’s alright, ken. Even heard folk outside a pub, very close to Aberdeen last night saying “if they can do it so can we” they were outside and distanced. You are correct about the folk moving about but they weren’t all standing on each other’s toes waiting to get in to an establishment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have picked it up somewhere else (possibly in the restaurant) and they may even have brought it to the pub. Are you an epidemiologist ? Major apologies from me if you have the facts at your fingertips. 11 hours ago, craigkillie said: I did do a PhD in mapping disease risk in Scotland and have spoken at epidemiology conferences, so yes I probably could describe myself as an epidemiologist.

Ooft, I dont know if I want this to be true or not. An absolute telt if it is. Part of me wants it to be a Pep/Supras type fantasy. Reminds me of that scrubs episode where Carla thinks her genetics aren’t being recognised in her baby when arguing with her husband so she asks a random to guess her baby’s ethnic origins and he just happens to be the hospital’s geneticist* and gets the baby’s heritage spot on. *or something like that.

craigkillie Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 What 'regulations'? Where did you get this information? It's possible these types of rules were in place when they returned to training back in mid-June, when there were much greater restrictions on all of Scotland.It certainly doesn't appear to be the case any more though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further to this, Alex Dyer had a press conference the other day (which I've only just seen) where he said he had told our players they could go out for a meal with their partners, but not to pubs and not with their teammates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Time to move on from this pish. Players have fucked up, they and the club have taken a national kicking. Cormack, Mcinnes, and the players have now apologised (albeit the players one was pretty dreadful). Two games coming up with severely depleted squad. Still a potential punishment to come. I was angry at them too but the moral indignation from all and sundry has become a bit nauseating. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
