August 11, 20205 yr 3 hours ago, MorayJaggie said: The spfl have been relatively quiet that two of the largest clubs in the country have been involved yet no sanctions and even tried to play games until ordered by the government to stop. Yet Partick and hearts both fighting to save jobs etc handed 2500 fines for the gall of questioning their authority. Double standards. That's not a surprise Jaggie!
August 11, 20205 yr I don’t think the games have been postponed yet, but a clear message from the FM: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-53736447
August 11, 20205 yr The games have been postponed. https://spfl.co.uk/news/coronavirus-joint-response-group-10-august-2020
August 11, 20205 yr On a brighter note, the Championship league placing for 19/20 have been reviewed by the SQA and ICT are being upgraded to the Premiership, in accordance with our manager‘s initial recommendation.
August 11, 20205 yr 3 hours ago, RiG said: The games have been postponed. https://spfl.co.uk/news/coronavirus-joint-response-group-10-august-2020 No surprise and the right decision. I heard the FM’s comments at lunchtime and she was scathing. All players and clubs must heed this or the game will be shut down again. The players involved should be sacked by their clubs and the clubs heavily fined if points cannot be deducted. They have shamed the word professional and do not deserve the inflated salaries they earn. Clubs like ours may suffer greatly by their selfish and petulant stupidity. There is a list on the BBC website of the “Aberdeen 8” which includes Jonny Hayes.
August 11, 20205 yr I hope Peter lawell put that jumped up wee krankie back in her box sure he did just getting the FM side of it wee boot probs left there shaking in her tartan trackies

If they have one more breach the government will stop the whole 20/21 season. These So called professionals are jumped up, spoil, self Indulgent idiots. I've spent the past 4 months at work 12+ hour shifts wearing masks and other PPE to try and keep everyone safe. Fearing I'd take the virus home to my family and isolating from my oldest son who had asthma until recently. I'm fuming these idiots feel its ok to risk everything everyone had fought So hard to accomplish to date. Their apathy is beyond belief. Heavy fines should be imposed by the spfl or sfa.

Sod all being points deduction and whatnot not happening, and prime income bringer being Celtic. By all means, they've caused the league problems (as have the Dons) but no doubt, nothing will happen cos they love sucking each other off...
August 11, 20205 yr Celtic player been given a fixed penalty notice for breaching covid restrictions by police Scotland. Not exactly a punishment for someone on 15000 a week.
August 11, 20205 yr Anyone else hear about the premiership players drinking in the Heathmount whilst watching Aberdeen v Rangers on TV on the opening day of the season?

I watched the game in the Corriegarth. The Heathmount looked dead when I walked past. Do they even show football? There were some ICT connected folk in the Corrie (not present players) but didnt see any players premiership or otherwise in there.
January 11, 20215 yr Extremely concerning. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/scottish-fa-board-confirms-three-week-suspension-of-professional-football-beneath-spfl-championship/?rid=13929 Scottish Cup games suspended, all leagues below the Championship on hold and the Championship will only continue if weekly PCR testing is carried out which, IIRC, is very expensive for teams at this level.
January 11, 20215 yr Author I'm sure this story will grow arms and legs pretty quickly. From BBC Sport Scottish football below Championship level has been suspended for three weeks due to the rising number of coronavirus cases. The impacted leagues are: SPFL League One, SPFL League Two, Scottish Women's Football Premier Leagues 1 & 2, Highland League, Lowland League, East, West & South of Scotland Leagues, Scottish Junior FA Leagues and the North Caledonian League. The second tier Championship will continue provided it starts weekly PCR testing for players and staff. Regular testing has been in place for Scottish Premiership clubs since the season started in August. Scottish Cup matches will also be suspended, with any ties scheduled to be played prior to 1 February to be rescheduled. (from midnight tonight, at the moment, Camelon v Brora is on tonight) The temporary pause will be reviewed on a rolling basis by the Scottish FA Board in partnership with Scottish Government. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55616399
January 11, 20215 yr Call it as is across the board, play the playoffs, expand the leagues and incorporate the Highland and Lowland Leagues into the pyramid.
January 11, 20215 yr Easy to imagine that our season could be over. We’ve seen before how 3 weeks becomes 3 months and so on.
January 11, 20215 yr 4 minutes ago, Yngwie said: Easy to imagine that our season could be over. We’ve seen before how 3 weeks becomes 3 months and so on. As it stands, our league season continues. I fear that you may well be right about Leagues One and Two and below.
January 11, 20215 yr 8 minutes ago, Kingsmills said: As it stands, our league season continues. I fear that you may well be right about Leagues One and Two and below. Thought our season only continues if every club tests players weekly?

Only if we adhere to the weekly testing which we have said in the past we can't really afford. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/2503558/caley-thistle-boss-john-robertson-outlines-covid-19-testing-concerns/ Hopefully we have received this £500,000 (?) grant from the Scottish Government which I surmise will need to be spent on this PCR testing. What a season this is turning into!

What a season this is turning into! I think the grant will be closer to £300,000 than £500,000 but should still help with completing the league season.
January 11, 20215 yr 3 hours ago, Jack Waddington said: Call it as is across the board, play the playoffs, expand the leagues and incorporate the Highland and Lowland Leagues into the pyramid. The LL is already in the pyramid Jack, and has several leagues below it. 20-odd years ago the HL could afford to be smug about being of a better standard, but apart from maybe half a dozen clubs at the top it’s a pretty stagnant situation. When you’ve got Brora or Buckie meeting Fort or Lossie regularly in league fixtures, you’ve got problems. (slightly off- topic, but hey, if you’re a member of the junta, sorry I mean a mod, you can take liberties).
