Gordon EF Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 2 minutes ago, Jaggy Snake said: Jumping to conclusions here but, if Clyde have a positive test, can't complete any more games (and aren't made to forfeit them) then we'd finish with 20 points from 19 games ie 1.053 points per game. I'm assuming having played so many games we'll have too many close contacts to a positive test to play on. If Dumbarton finish tonight's game against Forfar and, assuming the rest of the fixtures (excepts Clyde's) are played they will play 21 games in total. That would mean they need 23 points ie at least 4 points from the Forfar & Peterhead games to better out points per game. As I say, I'm jumping to conclusions here and someone can check my maths too. Given that it seems pretty unlikely Clyde haven't breached some rule in some way, I wouldn't be too confident you won't be getting a deluge of 3-0 defeats for the rest of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team has been left with that punishment yet. The decisions in the Premiership to give 3-0 defeats were reversed and we never seemed to get any outcome from our previous Covid postponements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 It would be some ending to what has been an utterly shite, depressing season if we were relegated due to a positive Covid test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clydeside Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I'd keep Danny away from any microphones this eveing in case he thinks we competed well for long periods. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
As Easterly as it gets! Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 With the SPFL at the helm, who would even hazard a guess at what the outcome may be? Time restraints to consider too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolfo Rios Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 If it has been the lateral flow tests with a positive does it not need confirmed by PCR test? Clutching at straws here I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue here might be the tests not being returned in time. I can't believe there isn't a cut off of more than mere minutes before a game kicks off. Maybe the rules just say before kick off, which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest given it's the SPFL. All previous games were called off because positive tests came back well ahead of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I can’t get my head around how this would even play out the way it seems to have. Do the clubs not need to provide the league with negative test results a couple of days prior to each game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Did we definitely have 11 players out on the pitch? Thinking if anyone seen who was potentially missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replays Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Can you imagine the utter scenes if we were relegated (well, in part anyway) because of this. What a laugh that would be! A fitting end to an omnishambles of a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it’s definitely 48 hours before the game the results need to be with the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happened in the Scotland U19 game earlier in the season during the first half. The players had tested fine to play that game but extra tests for the following game came back positive while the game was in play so it was quickly abandoned. It was that incident that meant we lost Henderson for an isolation period too. Edited April 27, 2021 by Jaggy Snake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All previous games were called off because positive tests came back well ahead of time. I’m sure that the protocol agreed was for twice weekly testing, not a test before every game. Given we’ve been playing 3 games a week, there would be the risk that one of the 2 tests could come back just before it even during a game. That might have changed though. Given our track record however, I’m expecting that’s it’ll be us who’ve screwed it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's the farcical nature of what happened just made it seem like there must have been some kind of f**k up. We'll see I suppose. No skin off East Fife's nose either way whether we're awarded a 3-0 win or the game's never played and we use PPG. Good chance there'll be toys out the pram from someone at some point no matter what happens. Looking forward to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
