I think the positive case is the game changer here, particularly as several more cases could well come in the next few days. Put that along with the poolside piss up and John Kennedy's press conference essentially admitting to COVID protocol breaches then they can't just be waved on in. Surely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I am concerned about this as well. This is the easiest chance they have of 'punishing' one of the OF when it doesn't really matter and Celtic won't really care as they are fucked anyway. And Killie and St Mirren will get dragged into the shitstorm just to prove a point about being tough on Celtic and letting the Government see they are taking action. I think this may hinder and not help our appeal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that belter’s calling for no promotion or relegation when the leagues are abandoned again this season. Him and Tom English competing over who could get the biggest hardon for Ann Budge last summer was vomit inducing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exemption was put in place to allow teams to travel for European competition not to go on a jaunt because you cant deal with the Scottish weather and you want to top up your tan. The rules aren't about elite sporting events, but about elite sportspeople. The rules were put in place for athletes in a variety of sports, not just football, and there are some sportspeople for whom warm weather training camps probably are essential for their preparation (eg athletes). That clearly doesn't apply to Celtic, but I am not convinced that the designation of the trip is the issue here, so much as the fact they have ended up with a positive test after it. If there was no positive test, I don't think there'd be any question of any of them being asked to isolate. Now that there has been one, it will likely be handled differently. 45 minutes ago, flood said: I see three points hibs here Doncaster knows league is gone for celtic and their fans know it. 3 points to hibs wont matter. will reinforce his defence at SFA appeal - look we apply to all teams with breaches... I think the game will be played tomorrow regardless of how many Celtic players have been asked to isolate - it is likely that they will be able to scramble together a youth team or something of the sort. Therefore I can't imagine a scenario where the match is awarded to Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibsFan Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) According to the British government's advice on close contact, plane travel is listed as one such example. Surely that's at least a few more of the squad in isolation regardless of future tests? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-contacts-of-people-with-possible-or-confirmed-coronavirus-covid-19-infection-who-do-not-live-with-the-person/guidance-for-contacts-of-people-with-possible-or-confirmed-coronavirus-covid-19-infection-who-do-not-live-with-the-person Edited January 11, 2021 by HibsFan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Will depend if NHS Scotland follow same principles. Can't see it happening. The risk assessment wouldn't let them travel if one person on the plane being positive on return would result in everyone on it having to isolate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) As mentioned before, the Scotland U21 squad flew back from Greece and only 8 players had to self-isolate in addition to the 3 who had covid.

Your right not everyone on the plane will need to isolate, just those close enough, although depending on who has been close to the individual prior to the plane journey may bring a lot more.into the equation. Although on a related subject, how good is the filtration on aircon systems with regard COVID-19 airborne particles? It has been raised at my work, and when on a plane the air is recirculated which you would think would help potential infection. Its not like you can open a window for fresh air like in an office, home, car, coach etc. The filtration can weed out some airborne particles but its something that comes up in H&S meetings at work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually on the same flight as Lewis Fiorini right as this happened as well as he was flying back to NAC Breda. Absolutely shit myself when I saw the news the next day about quite a lot of the U21 squad having to self isolate as they weren't named at first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
