Shadwell Dog Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Surely the 48 hour rule is to prevent what happened last night happening. Your fecking this up if your receiving and looking at Thursday's tests results 5 mins before Tuesdays game starts though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got banned from here for either homophobic or racist comments. Always got the impression the guy had some issues rather than just being a windup merchant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Jockie Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Living in foreign climes, ie ingerland ,and not keeping my Eastfifeness under a hat, even from last night I am getting battered by comments about Pub teams league etc. Normally I’m on the front foot. Can’t see how with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolfo Rios Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Clyde Statement - "East Fife decided not to play the match"Darren Young - "we decided not to play the match" East Fife statement- "we decided not to play the match" Yes I am paraphrasing the statements but this seems to be why some players are clearly unhappy with us for, despite the exact same message being made by their own manager before we had released anything.Based on everything put out by all parties, our statement is factually correct. Anger should be directed at those that made the decision that the match should have been played. I agree with East Fife's decision for what it's worth and I hope the match is rearranged for a week on Thursday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastfifer Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I can only guess the outrage from some about the statement is the lack of context. I understand it being basic at that point though, with a more detailed response to come at some point. Unusual for a club not to mention the usual well-wishes for their own player testing positive but that’ll just be an over-site in their haste to get something out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 A lot of folk saying Clyde have done nothing wrong but they let a guy without a negative test turn up to play. I just can't fathom how that's not against protocols, regardless if the JRG gave the game the go ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have a medical background or a knowledge of pandemics ?.If i was at my work and was told the guy i was working with had tested covid positive i certainly would not be working with him and in the first place he would have been told to stay away from his work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in attendance had a negative test for last night's match. Testing already done covered us for Saturday and last night. This was testing for Thursday and the club can't control when we get the results of these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of things, testing for Thursday’s game took place on Saturday and this was where the positive test was returned. Don’t get me wrong, I’m confused as to why it took 72 hours to return results (even from a PCR test) and given some of the other shambles we’ve been involved in, I wouldn’t be surprised if we had made a cock up somewhere in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may well have gone to submit the tests last night so that they were with the SPFL 48 hours before Thursday’s game and realised there was a positive test. That kind of thing wouldn’t surprise me given it’s Clyde. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolfo Rios Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I would guess that they are done in batches and results released the same. If the protocols put in place meant players were allowed to attend then that is were the fault is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually take months to answer anything in their day jobs. And I would question a medical professional going against the advice that has been promoted since March 2020 on what to do in the event of a positive test. Test track and ISOLATE. Can I also suggest there is now walk in testing throughout Scotland where it takes 30 minutes for a result to be given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'm hearing the Clyde players were tested last night and are isolating until results are received, which makes the JRG's decision to allow the game to go ahead last night seem a bit stupid. Were the JRG expecting Clyde to play the fixture then isolate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 There's been a few folk making the argument that it's almost impossible for footballers to transmit the virus to each other through playing, training, etc. Didn't Clyde have an 'outbreak' where four players tested positive in November. Surely the assumption was there was transmission between the players in that case? Why would anyone assume that couldn't happen again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Carrigan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I honestly think we should all leave the finer points of viral transmission to the experts and deal with football matters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably these guys go home to wives , kids/ girlfriends. Some will have other jobs and contact with the outside world. Nonsense to think the football 'bubble' is going to eradicate transmission of any virus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
