I get that they didn’t comply with the rule on social distancing on the coaches, pre match meals and at training- but the car sharing thing was surely the individual players decision ? And if that is the case should Aberdeen and Celtic not be similarly disciplined for their players breaches at the start of the season. And probably a question for the lawyers, is it in the rules that a 3-0 win to the opposition for this or that they can just make up ?

No sympathy from me. I said at the time of our demotion other teams would fall foul of the authorities and they would not like being punished. They have set a precedent. Interesting to see if it would be dealt with the same way if either of the ugly sisters games get cancelled because they break covid protocol.

They make it up as they go along and seem to have a clause in the league setup that allows them to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Clyde now cancelling a second game in a row due to covid. I expect they will forfeit the 2 games 3-0. Some teams having to take their medicine and more to come i would think. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL will need to decide what is a breach of club protocol and what is down to just being unlucky to catch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lower leagues don’t have the same bubbles. How can a taxi driver who plays for Elgin avoid sharing a car with others ? Or a bar owner who plays for Stenhousemuir avoid being in his own bar ? The protocols have to be different, but need to be consistent within a league. It wouldn’t be fair if full time clubs like ourselves and Falkirk were treated differently to Clyde 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 One of my neighbours grandson plays for a championship club. Before covid the grandson visited him every week, but since football returned he has visited only once. I don't know if this is following club protocol,or just the covid rules in general.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 If the SPFL had been completely serious about restricting the spread of covid they'd have at least regionalised the lower leagues. OK, maybe that should strictly read the "SPFL clubs" but the governing body did nothing to facilitate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonehJags Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 We need to be careful what we wish for. We could just as easily be hit with a covid outbreak and find ourselves fall further behind if we cant fulfill a fixture or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
