If you don't complete before mobilising you don't get offshore? We were told that at Aberdeen training there is only three players allowed in the dressing room at a time. Yeah thats what I was meaning by disclosing, at the start of lockdown however they werent allowed to come offshore before the covid testing got implemented. I must add though some rigs still aren’t testing and are allowing folk from abroad to come offshore without isolation as they have been given ‘dispensation’. As you could imagine its really pissed off others working on there, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact remains Falkirk, among others, are back in training already. If that's banned again, potentially for a month, it completely screws up preparation for a new season. It's just not true to say nothing is happening at lower league clubs at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you could imagine its really pissed off others working on there, The company I work with has been really good with the testing. There's a worry now that they look like slowing things down. Before testing we had a list of something like 15 countries that meant isolation from work if you were returning from any of them. 1 minute ago, Robbo63 said: Obviously, if they are not even training yet I was taking the piss out of Willy's response, mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobby Dossar Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Think this is a Cummings moment for the Scottish Government If they do nothing people are just going to say if footballers don’t need to follow the rules why should I follow them Going to be an interesting day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn’t be able to retrospectively Punish what has already gone on either. I do think something needs to be drawn up though. The problem with that is it changes week by week, putting things in place wouldn't last long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track and Trace is being flouted as the game changer if Bolingoli’s contacts are not traced and isolated why should anyone else adhere to the rules Or like Cummings is it one rule for them and another for the rest of us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually make a splash about it online and in the Herald and I haven't seen anything. We certainly don't treat them as pre-season bounce games but even if we did it doesn't change the fact clubs would never seriously go into them on 2 weeks training or less, especially after a 5 month lock down. The idea that a "pause" in football return won't affect lower division clubs is a nonsense. Those who aren't already back will be back within the next fortnight. Falkirk were certainly training last week. I know someone who was there. Whether they are "officially" training and complying with the required regime I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the shenanigans about ending the season, league construction etc. And Premiership clubs couldn't run a raffle draw. Hopefully Wee Nick shuts you down. You do realise if Sturgeon orders a shut down, it will f*ck your club up before it does any of the premiership clubs....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It deflects away from any talk of celtic playing an ineligible player and any possible punishments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
