Michael W Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 How long has this been known about and when did we request the postponement? I know Thursday is media day and all that but seems it might've been put out sooner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more that rumours seem to appear on this very forum which are quickly found to he correct*. For something with this degree of seriousness, that's quite annoying. As long as we've followed the protocols then hopefully it'll be OK. If we are found not to have done so, then we'll deserve the book that's thrown at us. It was inevitable a game would be put in doubt for covid at some point, just wish it wasn't us so we could test the reaction. *Thankfully with the exception of us signing Gary Glen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't unless you've breached any protocols, and given all that has happened, especially recently, surely no clubs who are still permitted to play will be that stupid and arrogant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Why would we be allowed to postpone? Haven’t clubs in the premiership who have experienced outbreaks simply had to forfeit the game?Are there different circumstances between us and some of those premier teams?Are there teams who have already had a postponement agreed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there teams who have already had a postponement agreed? The forfeits awarded against the teams have subsequently been appealed and are soon to be heard. The behaviour of the players/club is important here. If we've breached the protocols then I agree a forfeit is in order.

You have to really hope we've followed protocol on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two clubs in the Premiership were punished because they failed to follow protocols and admitted to those failures An outbreak can still happen even if a club follows all protocols though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there are many clubs who have failed many protocols and just not admitted to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Assuming we heard yesterday or today. 10 days for isolation means we face Hearts on the back of no games in four weeks and half the squad not having trained for 10 days... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly, but after the punishments given to St Mirren and Kilmarnock you'd imagine clubs would wisen up. After the Celtic debacle and Leagues 1 and 2 being suspended, clubs not adhering to protocols are even more insanely stupid to not stick to the protocols, unless they actually want football cancelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 This is why there is testing. It's unfortunate and obviously wish everyone well health wise, but this is how it's going to be. If it stops cross club transmission and then the virus being brought to other parts of the country, that's the point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 How long has this been known about and when did we request the postponement? I know Thursday is media day and all that but seems it might've been put out sooner. Might have been waiting for the confirmation of tests. I don't think we'll be the first club this will happen to over the next few weeks with the way the government have been talking. Its really a question of whether we've followed protocols. There'll be an element of pressure on the SPFL to accept this given the rhetoric from the Scottish govt. You'd imagine Caley players wouldn't be too comfy risking their own health playing against a team who are undergoing an outbreak. If the game goes ahead, it sets a dangerous precedent: it could be us this week but another team down the line. It was inevitable really. Fans and players were asking questions back in October about how part time players could combine jobs without risking outbreaks. Most importantly, I hope everyone impacted is in good health and that there's no lasting damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
