Anderson and Ferguson allegedly the one's spotted out.

 

The list above, those who've been hit because of them.

 

The players are probably training in small pods for this exact eventuality. It means you can isolate an outbreak. Think that's what Hearts are doing. Means you have to not put all your good players in one pod. However that pod has a lot of their less shite players in it.

Tempted to tune in to that one if there's a stream. Be nice to see Aberdeen swilling some medicine after their actions the last few months.

The players will miss 3 games thats priceless. I just wish it was those rats over the road but Aberdeen will do for starters.

so has player 2 now had a positive NHS test?

government says he should isolate 14 days aberdeen say 10

 

The initial positive player will require to self-isolate for 10 days from yesterday, with the remaining seven players to self-isolate for 14 days from yesterday.

 

 

Aberdeen FC confirms that two first team players, who have tested positive for COVID-19 but are asymptomatic, are self-isolating for ten days.

 

In line with government guidance and procedures from the football authorities, six other players, who were in close proximity with the two positive cases, are also self-isolating for 14 days.

Cheers Barack.I thought when the said close contact they meant in the bar.

Maybe they knew about these two 4 days ago and they've been isolating?

Had it been Celtic first,  I have my doubts. 

 

They have Hamilton next Wednesday at home by which time,  feasible it could be more than 8.

 

3 defeats to start the season,  relegation favourites 

Their fourth game is away to Celtic as well 😂

[Nookie Bear]

As amusing as this is (and it’s ******* hilarious) I can see how this might pan out badly for us if we see things like this happening every week across the leagues. 
 

Just a feeling that it will be so disrupted that we end up with a call to abandon the leagues for 2020-21.

Nobody knows how any infected individual is going to respond!

There is a fair chance someone's squad will be decimated by an outbreak............I'm not even going to say it!

 

Play the U18s then. 

 

Who has long term lung damage - the whole Aberdeen squad? You got a link?

Game on. Aberdeen with a big injury list and now 8 players in quarantine. 

 

 

Take yur medicine

That’s exactly what I said 😁

[Anderson5]

Firstly, I sincerely hope both players who have tested positive make a full recovery. 
 

Secondly, I hope the other six who are self isolating continue to test negative. 
 

Thirdly, we’ll done on Aberdeen taking this on the chin and accepting that the next three fixtures must be played. There’s been no requests to postpone these fixtures. 
 

Finally, the blame for this must be shared by the SPFL. Their insistence that the league must start on August 1st and that there are only 2 free dates for rearranged fixtures before the Euros start next summer has created this perfect storm.

I find it hard to believe that 8 players would go to a busy bar in the city centre if they were told not  to  especially after the first game of the season.

Are there rules covering this or is it more of an advisory position.

 

We live in a country where a professional footballer nearly drowned after jumping into a freezing river after a night out - during the season.

Thats nuts, Aberdeen will be without 8 players for their game, if wikipedia is correct that they 26 first team players, thats almost a third of their squad. And if Cosgrove and Main are not part of the eight then they are down to 16 players for the game at the weekend (not counting any other injured players.) But the game is still going ahead.

 

They are holding Aberdeen responsible perhaps. 

 

But they may also be worried about setting a precedent that will totally disrupt the league - looks like the general direction is to play the games no matter what.

This isn't the time to congratulate Aberdeen. They should be hammered. They should be keeping their players on a very tight leash right now. I mean they've spent the last few months talking about how financially devastating this whole thing is for them and they can't even get their players - professional ****ing athletes - to follow the most basic of safety measures.

Let's be honest, the SPFL doesn't have a plan for this scenario. They're still winging it.

🤣🤣 It's a complete volte-face. Four months ago with no players having COVID - we can't possibly play games under these circumstances. The government says so. Now, with players testing positive - games must go ahead no matter what. Football's special don't you know..

if you test positive you isolate for 10 days, the 14 days is for those who were in close contact with the positive case

But surely they would be training as a team in preparation for the next game to work on tactics etc, can’t be training entirely in silos. In our case we are doing fitness training so quite easy to do silos I would think. Absolute farce that this game goes ahead full stop.

The thing is that six of the players have been forced to sit out the game because of the current protocols, not that they have tested positive.

 

I suspect that the group of players might not have gone out on the town together had the SFA chosen to sanction Rangers for playing the "B" game against Dundee United when nine players hadn't received a negative test in the correct timescales.

behave, you know that if aberdeen ever finish bottom some form of reconstruction or argument about the promoted side not meeting certain conditions always saves them

No. We have been told for months that football has to follow the Scottish Gov guidelines everyone else follows.

 

Now we're being told football is a special case in its own bubble. If true that means closed door games could have happened.

When could they have happened exactly?

I get what you’re saying but I’m currently of the mind that I’d rather see clubs dying and the game completely ripped apart up here, rather than us being guaranteed promotion at the first attempt.

 

Chaos like this is a decent start to matters. I wish 38 clubs nothing but the absolute worst.
