blairdin Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 2 hours ago, Footballfirst said: I think that the SPFL may have been warned by Skiy that they will have to refund money if games cannot be shown/played. If the contract covers 48 games for £25m per season, then that would work out at £521k a game. That would explain why the SPFL/SFA were hell bent on playing. There is no way RanTic would've been expected to fulfil a fixture without 8 players. No chance. Devils advocate, and in fairness to the players involed, we don't know what rules they're supposed to follow. As I understand it, a group of players went out for a bite to eat - is that wrong? Not all of them then went on to make a night of it - that's a different thing entirely and they should be carpeted by their club accordingly. The big loser here is Doncaster, and his robust plans for the new season to be played during an ongoing pandemic. One step closer to the whole shitshow falling to bits. It's Aberdeen. It could've been any of them, but it's pleasing nonetheless. Burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour M Hersh Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 52 minutes ago, Brown1982 said: Some pubs down south have already had to close though just because 1 or 2 people have tested positive. We are talking 8 confirmed cases here. How many more do you need for them to be shutdown for a couple of weeks let alone travel outside a quarantine zone for a game of football??? it just comes across as being totally at odds with the incredibly careful approach the Scottish government has taken throughout this whole thing. We are saying that a team who is in a region that has just been put back into lockdown and has also has EIGHT first team players test positive are allowed to travel out with that region to play a game of football. I’m sure there are cases of the virus not showing up in tests instantly as well. The chairman said himself they were only made aware of the situation yesterday half an hour before it went public. I don't think we are. Two confirmed and 6 in close proximity so self isolating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I wonder what the actual reason was for calling the game off. Was it because of government intervention to prevent a serious public health problem getting worse, or was it because the league did not want Aberdeen to play with such a depleted squad? And what happens to the next sheep match? I assume their game at home to Hamilton is off for the same reason (whatever that reason is). I am sure our journalistic talent will be all over this. Oh, and...Aberdeen!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone haven't had an outbreak, so have obviously been following the rules. Aberdeen have not, and their player's complete lack of professionalism has let the League down. 3-0 win for St Johnstone, and a £100,000 fine for Aberdeen for bringing the game into disrepute.
