Gordon, Boyce & Naismith on loan.

 

Because "they can't go to any other club for emergency loans".

 

Am I doing this right?

The only surprise is that they're not Hibs' next opponents, given the luck that Hubz have had this season.

Seems fair enough. Only right we help out clubs in their hour of need.

It would show class. And Scottish football would resound with praise for us. Ann’s probably on the phone right now.

We'll probably be forced into it by the SPFL.

 

Also, gets them off the books for a week and "gives them game time".  What's not to like?

South Lanarkshire is in lockdown.   Hamilton Accies are up shit creek without a substitute.

Has our training been stopped yet ?

Maybe we can supply the half-time oranges as well. Be the bigger man. Doncaster is keeping a note of all our good deeds in a ledger. Our reward will come. 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

The SPFL should create an exceptional rule for us to play on any teams behalf. 

[WDJ87]

We aren't going to get to start our league are we, still 3 weeks to go and it's heading downhill already.

[SectionN]

If the Scottish Championship/League1&2 are not testing for Covid apart from Hearts I’m led to believe. Not a chance our league will even kick off. 
 

Another SPFL error.

[leginten]

Are they due to be playing the arse cheeks any time soon? 

[Rick Sanchez]

We'll be in the championship for two years.

[jambo89]

Precedent set. No postponing of games (unless the 3 players were caught breaking the rules)

Another opportunity for us to occupy the moral high ground, we're going to have to build a skyscraper there at this rate!!

Don't think so, we've built up so much goodwill with our soft diplomacy that teams are going to be demanding we are promoted.

Could we fight it?

 

Being relegated to a league which has zero chance of being completed surely is restriction of trade?

I don't think it's  an error, very carefully thought through to save these shitty little teams paying any wages while no fans are allowed in. We're just collateral damage, of course league reconstruction would've helped but hey ho no one wanted that!

Not sure why they don’t need to.  I thought that was what JA’s money was for, and why we are starting later with only 27 games, as clubs said they could not afford to test and play with no crowds.

We're not allowed to play in the big league as a club - individuals, yes - no problem.

 

SPFL Article 99 refers.

[JamboAl]

We can play their opponents in a friendly behind closed doors.

 

Oh no, that would give us an advantage over other clubs in the Championship.

Only way that happens is if there's no football, if there's no football then what difference does it make?

Don’t think any crowds will be at games anytime soon.

[Cruyff]

Don't give them any fecking players Hearts ffs

Good point.

 

SPFL putting the boot in again.

That ship has sailed.

 

The club / FoH  had the opportunity to down that road but chose the Company Law route instead. Presumably on legal advice received.

Naismith especially could do with the game time 😃

There’s amateur and kids football being played up and down the country since last weekend so can’t see how that would be allowed and they’d stop pro football playing. No crowds allowed at either so it’s surely the same thing.

This seems to be the way it's done.

Your players caught Covid but didn't break any rules - then you have to play

Your players caught Covid by breaking the rules - we'll postpone your game until you are back at full strength

It's an absolute shambles.

 

It will get shut down through sheer incompetence, and Scotland will watch on as the rest of the world plays on!

Doncaster’s probably got his bonus for the Sky deal and as long as Celtic are at top of league Job done.

Can Hamilton please just shut down permanently?

Aye, that’s the precedent set. I really, really hope some Sellick players get Covid, through no fault of their own, the week of the OF game. I’d pay good money to watch Doncaster try and squirm his way out of that one. 

[busby1985]

Another step towards us not playing a single game this season. As funny as it is to watch, if the top flight clubs can’t deal and live with covid, what chance does the lower leagues have. We will play the betfred due to its TV commitments and then the game will be mothballed.

Closed door friendlies only, no leagues have started.

Totally. We knew this would happen. Screwed over big style.
