As far as i know the league cup and challenge cup is the only tournaments in Scotland with a sponsor. So although it would make sense, i don't see them scrapping it.

Jaggernaut Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 2 hours ago, Auld Jag said: I agree with all the comments regarding testing. When the talks about football returning started, there was a lot mentioned about players having to be careful and be in some sort of bubbles. Surely with the majority of teams Thistle will be playing being part time, this would at best be a very difficult thing to do ? Reminds me of when Sharon Osbourne suggested to Ozzie that they could cover the stage in bubbles during one of his performances. He replied something like: "Bubbles???!!! WTF!! I'm supposed to be the Prince of Darkness!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 What is the rule here? If testing gets done before a match and one player is positive. He gets hooked and that's it? Everybody else who tests negative at that point can play, in theory? How many positives would it take for a match to be called off, and what would happen if that happened?

I believe the rule in Scotland is ..... if old firm players fail a test and the game has to be postponed as a result, then they get a bye to the next round. If players from any other club fail a test and the game has to be postponed as a result, then they get kicked out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Kilmarnock forfeit their first league cup game v Falkirk. Falkirk are awarded a 3-0 victory. Kilmarnock wanted to reschedule the game, but this was refused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've now gone a step further, graduating from fake crowd noise to fake results. What next? Maybe Doncaster is at this moment extending an invitation to Melchester Rovers to replace Killie in the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) I can see the league season turning into a farce, with multiple call offs at short notice. Edited October 6, 2020 by Auld Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 So it looks like the only way that football stadia may be safe is if we dont let the players in. Looks like we are a long way from football games with fans present. If football squads cant be guaranteed to be Covid free, how can crowds?

Auld Jag Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 As far as i can remember, unless a premier league team is involved a test is not required. Was this player tested for some other reason ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenziejag Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Did the report say that the Forfar squad were all self isolating ? If not why the need to cancel the game ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
