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.

logie green Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 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.

Anderson5 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 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.

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.

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.
