jm86 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Was the Raith v ICT game at Starks not postponed last January as Raith said they couldn't field a team. If you have 11 players, anywhere in the pecking order, who can play, I assume you have to fulfil the fixture or Is there a minimum size for the bench? Can anyone enlighten me? Playing ICT with a weakened team wasn't great, but our full strength team might well have lost anyway. Playing Raith under-strength is more serious, as this is a game we would normally be more likely to get a result in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to have at least 13 players available and one of them needs to be a goalkeeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a massive boost for the team. Pretty poor to wish Covid on anyone if you ask me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Very interested to see how this pans out now that Rangers have cases. I can see both games being postponed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I've only seen rumours of who's supposed to be out for rangers, just found it odd as I'm fairly certain the men, b team and women all train at the same ground. I saw the women are playing there tomorrow. Surely if we're not allowed to train then theirs should be out of bounds too if players are either testing postive/close contacts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The SPFL won't care if you train or not, if you have 11 players without Covid the game will get played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I’m assuming if the playing staff do go into a ten day quarantine, that any signings could be completed by non playing staff at the club before Monday’s deadline... assuming there are some in the pipeline of course! Im going to guess we will be playing on Saturday! Edited August 25, 2021 by No_Problemo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
