Detournement Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 1 minute ago, G51 said: The Scottish Government were explicit that they leave the discipline side of things to the SPFL/SFA. If the Scottish Government have postponed the games (which they have), then it's been done on public health grounds. Not one person in the Celtic squad has Covid or is suspected of having Covid. Celtic have been sent to bed without their dinner because that's the standard of discourse in Scottish public life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't pretend to be an expert on this, but my understanding is that it can take up to 2 weeks for coronavirus to manifest itself in such a way that it becomes a) transmittable and b) detectable by a test. The only thing we know for sure is that he didn't give it to Killie players on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've literally just had a game moved to a different date. Do you consider it a punishment every time a game gets postponed for the weather? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthelie' Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 4 minutes ago, Arch Stanton said: In what way have they been punished? They haven't. The 8 Aberdeen players should get a lengthy ban, and Celtic should be forced to play Bolingoli. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkthebigclub Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 6 minutes ago, Arch Stanton said: In what way have they been punished? By being a football team, unable to play scheduled fixtures. Note: I'm not saying I agree with it and I don't see the action as particularly punitive, merely my interpretation of the events. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iminavest Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Forfeiting games/points deductions would set a dangerous precedent. What happens when a player tests positive after contracting in the supermarket, are his club forced to give up 3/6 points? Could Hamilton win the league by bolting their players into their homes?

They need to prove their players are on task. Ah, I haven't seen anything apart from that both clubs games were off. 19 minutes ago, craigkillie said: Why wouldn't we be? Our players have spent 6 minutes (including stoppage time) on a pitch with a player who doesn't even have coronavirus. Aye, I understand now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Celtic and Aberdeen have in effect been punished with fixture congestion and extra pressure to catch up with their rivals who have the very realistic chance to get points on the board. Its a bit shit for the teams they are playing that are caught up in it through no fault of their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retired Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 IMO the Celtic and Aberdeen games are being postponed as a punishment rather than to limit the risk. If they’ve all tested negative then it’s not really a hightened risk If the game is rescheduled after fans are let in , which seems possible, then it’s not much of a punishment when you get the added income through the gate and hospitality. And tv revenue as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
