Now not that I disagree in anyway with East Fife’s decision but watching a good, old mass heads-gone is always funny. May I suggest the replies to the Clyde 1 SSB tweet as a starting point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Only the fuckwits at the SPFL could actually be looking to punish East Fife for this (whilst simultaneously trying to save Brechin from relegation). An organisation completely unfit for purpose. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well without knowing the facts how can you rush to such a judgement - invariably if a club says it can’t or won’t fulfil a fixture there is such a hearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyweehutch Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 May I suggest the replies to the Clyde 1 SSB tweet as a starting point. All that shows to me is that only the old firm could make a postponement between Clyde and East Fife about them. Absolute cess pit of fans they are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect an investigation into exactly what happened and some clarification from the SPFL before jumping straight to disciplinary proceedings, given the fairly exceptional circumstances. I might not know all the facts but I'd be fairly confident the SPFL have done neither of these things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Seriously, this is for debate I’m not trying to criticise any of the 2 clubs here: What if evidence shows that the player involved had no close contact with the rest of the squad and again proven that Clyde’s protocol were 100% squeaky clean. If East Fife were informed of all this and was therefore obviously no threat to their health then still refused to play. Would that give grounds for the authorities to investigate this and potentially “punish “ them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire season has been a trial for everyone and any blame should be directed at the architects of the additional four games which left hee-haw margin for what happened last night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If later evidence showed that the player had no close contact, other than during the Peterhead game, and no other players were infected, great. East Fife didn't even know there had been a positive test until the players took to the pitch and had minutes to make a decision. You can't damn East Fife for not knowing facts that are only established days later. The positive player apparently played against Peterhead whilst positive. He has categorically been in close contact with other Clyde players. We'll only know if he infected any of them when their tests from yesterday get the results back.

I mean, if East Fife refused to play then yes, it is a forfeit but apply common sense for once. Do the right thing and relegate Brechin. They'll do anything to cover their own arses. I hope this is the start of something big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see, there's no evidence that Clyde or East Fife have broken any protocols, been dishonest or have made any decisions that weren't entirely focussed on players health first and footballing 'fairness' (if you want to call it that) second. Exactly as it should be. It's up to the SPFL to resolve the issue and if they make a mess of it, they'll be the only ones to blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 4 minutes ago, BullyWeeStonehouse said: Aye, pretty much. If the SPFL give East Fife a fine and award the game to Clyde there's nothing East Fife, Dumbarton or anyone else can realistically do. They're judge and jury here. They won't give a f**k. There's basically one solution that doesn't ensure a total heads gone from at least one club - play the game next Thursday. Odds on the SPFL getting there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
