No incentive whatsoever for Sky to give up any part of something they’ve paid £125m for. You think our FM should be doing 'free advertising' for TV companies ? Let's face it it doesn't matter what she does haters will hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said could not should Her suggestion that a private company that has paid substantial sums for the rights to show the game and also incur substantial production costs should then give that away for free because she feels people may not abide by the rule of law is a joke, it is the governments place to control law and order not the place of of a broadcaster.

ritchies75 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Cowdenbeath FC @CowdenbeathFC We are now able to confirm that one of our players has tested positive for Covid-19. The player in question has been self-isolating since last Friday and will continue to do so until 20 October. We of course all hope that he will soon be restored to good health. In addition, another player who had been in close contact tested negative - he now is self-isolating for the requisite 14 days. Following consultation key parties, it was established that the club had operated within the agreed Covid-19 protocols and thus no other players/staff were required to test or self-isolate.

ritchies75 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 CLUB STATEMENT: ST MIRREN V MOTHERWELL SMFC Webteam Saints News 17 October 2020 St Mirren Football Club can confirm that a further first-team player have returned a positive COVID-19 test and is now self-isolating. In line with Public Health and Scottish Government guidelines, a number of additional players are now required to self-isolate. Chief Executive, Tony Fitzpatrick stated: "It is very disappointing that we are faced with this situation despite the numerous precautions and safeguards that are in place within the Club. "As a result we regret this has caused our game against Motherwell to be postponed. "This is hugely frustrating for our fans, the players and staff, and for everyone connected with the club. We will be working with the SPFL and relevant health authorities on this matter and will provide an appropriate update when more information is available. "This once again underlines the absolute necessity of maintaining vigilance to ensure that players, officials and their families minimise the risk of infection to keep everyone safe."
