Would assume it's either when they keep getting positive cases and can't be certain there are no players with Covid playing the match; or when there are too many cases and the team don't have 13 available players for a squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 This 13 players thing is a UEFA rule for their competitions, I haven't seen anything credible to suggest that's the SPFL's position. Clearly missing a handful of players is not going to be enough though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if the death toll goes up even if players are in this pretend bubble it wouldn't seem right playing football. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 11 minutes ago, wastecoatwilly said: It will interesting to see at what point a game will be cancelled. I presume it'll be based on if the clubs can't confirm the spread is contained. IE there's X number of positive cases and then if it's deemed nearly all the squad need to self isolate as a precaution due to being in close proximity with the confirmed positives then surely they'd have to call it off? Just guessing though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Also if the death toll goes up even if players are in this pretend bubble it wouldn't seem right playing football. Lol wut, will we just stop all the kids going back to school if it keeps going up as well? And put half the country back on the soon to be non-existent furlough if it keeps going up? Or it should maybe just be accepted that as restrictions are lifted the death toll will probably rise slightly along with them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way games will be cancelled, especially not for just 3 players testing positive. I'm sure Willy will still debate it with himself for the next 3 or 4 pages though. Bless him.

Having a slightly disrupted season is better that having no season at all. The fact that players are being tested twice a week puts them in an unique position. Granted the show must stay open even if teams are left playing their u20's. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see what price Accies are later, if they half the Killie price to 2/5, you'd be looking at Accies roughly 7/4 double chance. As you say, might be worth a punt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
