They wouldn't know that particular bar was going to be hoaching with covid. If the players were told they could go out for a beer then the blame moves from the individuals to the club. If that's the case then Aberdeen should be punished severely. If we're dealing with imaginary scenarios i'd expect the SFA to expel St Johnstone if they were involved in an international sex trafficking racket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 That's crazy. Would you be raging because a work colleague went for a pint?If them going for a pint jeopardised my living I probably would aye. And this absolutely does jeopardise their living. If the league is called off clubs are going into administration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Barry Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Valentino Bolognese said: A comparable situation might be if a team goes out the night before a game night and gets into a mass brawl, so they're all in the cells and no team can be fielded. Now, should the club be penalised due to the actions of it's players? Some Accies players went on strike a few years back, so we could not field a team for a match against Stenhousemuir. We were docked 13 points and relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty offshore workers didn't isolate when asked and gave it to colleagues. Our guys were pretty furious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I thought my analogy was pretty accurate,, and not some spurious straw-man nonsense. But yeah, if it was sanctioned, bankrolled and run by the club, obviously. Do you have a point though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Talk that she'll enforce a lockdown on matches again, not just for Aberdeen but for everyone. She's been fucking desperate to make an example of Scottish football, she's hates the game. This is her chance and she won't miss.Haha she hates football?

Hope they finished the night off with a kebab. The English players couldn't have been in the same pub because pubs weren't open for most of the season. The English players were breaching the actual law by doing what they were doing, it's not entirely clear whether the Aberdeen players were - it depends how many (if any) of them live together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentino Bolognese Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 37 minutes ago, Marshmallo said: It certainly looks to be more likely than not baby It's absolutely immaterial where they contracted the virus TBH. Point is they seem to have been caught breaking the social distancing guidelines. That in itself should be dealt with by the club, forcefully in my opinion. The second matter at hand is that a fixture cannot be played due to an infection in one team's squad. The authorities will have to determine if the club is in any way institutionally responsible for that situation, and act accordingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes.

You could forgive them if they went round to each others house even if it was breaching the number of households socialising together rule as at least that's the same testing bubble etc and if they somehow contracted it from someone's significant other or something that would just unfortunate. It's the fact they just to the rules and hit a mobbed bar that put them at obvious risk.

Golden Gordon Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 We've gone from zero to Banter Years in less than a week. That in itself must be worthy of some sort of accolade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressball Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 57 minutes ago, The Real Saints said: The first post was Kyle’s rather than mine. But regardless, if we were to be ravaged by injuries for the rearranged date, would we be given the same treatment which Aberdeen have received for something which was entirely reckless and self-inflicted? I don’t think we would. The game would probably go ahead. It’s more a statement about the ethics of postponing the game rather than dishing out some form of punishment. It’s in the laws of the game that if you are missing a specific number of first team players you can request a game is postponed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 That’s Aberdeen off the list of clubs who have handled the Covid situation with class. Only Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Celtic left now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 A huge sigh of relief was clearly audible from Perth when this game got postponed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the Laws of the Game, more likely as part of specific competition rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
