I don’t think any sensible person on here agrees with the outcome here for Killie and St Mirren. But that doesn’t mean that you have to twist the facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Noticed a number of Covid violations on that Inside Tynecastle documentary. I think it will be worth my time to go through each episode with a fine-tooth comb and send a report to the SPFL. Unlucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were Celtic and Aberdeen unable to fulfill fixtures due to non availability of players due to club breaches of Covid protocols? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it would be worth your while given that Hearts haven't been unable to fulfil fixtures due to club breaches of Covid protocols. But you knock yourself out champ if it makes you feel better.

Yes, I was doing 150 in a 20 zone but I didn't hit anyone so the rules don't apply to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspections like these would have revealed red flags of protocols likely to be most at risk of being broken, and they could have informed clubs of this and helped them find ways to ensure the protocols would be followed. They did. St Mirren and Kilmarnock both passed their "test", but between then and now have decided to breach them. Are you expecting the authorities to have someone sitting in at every team meal, travel on every team bus, and keep an eye on every single players travelling arrangements, every day, for every club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By happy coincidence 2 certain teams will be more at risk of this & Accies have found yet another way to stave off relegation. Would they have to celebrate for 15mimutes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to keep the Lanarkshire Two in the top flight, as we all know. Happenstance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was this "test" carried out? Email? Other leagues, eg the EPL, had a team of inspectors that went out. The SPFL/SFA has done nothing like that. No inspections at all. If they had done them, we'd know as they'd be bragging about it to the government and press. The JRG return to football strategy doc has nothing about how they plan to get clubs to adhere to the guidelines and protocols. How Scottish football fans can continue to defend these muppets is beyond me. Edited December 3, 2020 by 8GamesToGo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagenham Dave Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Any old Filth teams fans on here gloating or justifying the Leagues punishment on this needs to take a good look at themselves ! this could happen to any one of us yet Doncaster has came down hard on Killie and Saints. a bloody outrageous ruling which could have bearing on final placings in the League . Integrity totally wiped out . here . Expect this from some South American Tinpot league , not a National Professional Football League like the SPFL ! -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each club had a visit by an inspector arranged by the SFA/SPFL based on each club's proposed covid protocols - the checklist assisted in highlighting aspects to be considered and what would be examined 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they banned Hearts from training for a week. Well it’s clear that whatever they did, it wasn’t enough. So Hearts should clearly have been banned for longer. It’s science. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santheman Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It would have been very interesting if it had been Rangers and not Motherwell who were due to play Killie and St Mirren. Would they have been awarded the 6 points (and probably the League title). Imagine the seethe from Sellic fans alone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambieBud Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I think Brian Rice has proved to be a tactical genius this season. His defence has social distanced from opposition forwards all season and have been rewarded with bonus points by the league. Well played Hamilton! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
