allystrachan Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Wow! Do they have an outbreak? so let me get this right... they will want to postpone the game at tyncastle but be ready just in time for the game over there?

HMFC01 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Squad size of 26. Have to field 13 or more in match day squad. So that means there's 14+ out with covid. That's alot alright! I am calling bullshit. Although, most of them might be close contacts. Marvelous 👐 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CJGJ Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It will depend on the numbers who actually have a positive test as well as those who then need to self isolate but do not seemingly have the virus Even then a secondary test will now follow for those who were given a positive indication (if it has not already been done) It's difficult to be exact unless you know the dates of the tests and any follow ups but certainly 23rd January looks in doubt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hungry hippo Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 If the issue is that they have lots of positive cases then fair enough allowing a postponement and thankfully it's been identified. It would allow them time to sort and there is little they can do now although it's probably their fault it spread so much. If there are only 2 or 3 cases but lots need to self isolate because they haven't been following the guidelines that have been in place since the start of the season then they should be made to play or forfeit. The result of the appeal in the Premiership will have a big impact though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
copa-mundial Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 If they have 14 players available. It's game on. Wonder if they will get the same threat Hibs got the other night 🙄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamboinglasgow Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Seen some reports that it is 6 players positive and 10 isolating. From wikipedia there are 27 first team players, so it all depends if they have any reserves or U18 players. Though if that number is correct you have to imagine that if its (I think) 10 days players isolate, then no way Raith can player on Saturday. Our first game against them would be impossible if the inverness game is postponed (unless they started isolating on Tuesday) the following game can be played but you will have players lacking fitness.

martoon Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Two 3-0 wins would be fun. The Lochend seethe would be a joy to behold. I'd rather Hearts played and beat Raith the traditional way but medicine must be taken. It's the Scottish football way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Footballfirst Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) If Raith is allowed to postpone the ICT game, then Hearts should seek confirmation of the players who are either positive or isolating as contacts to ensure that, if next week's game goes ahead, those players remain unavailable if they are still within their isolation period. Edit: They should not be allowed to train either during their isolation. Edited January 14 by Footballfirst Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamboozy Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I just get a picture of chickens 🐓 heading off to their bo-bo’s I don’t want people to be victims of this horrible virus but our senior management could see what was coming at Scottish football like an express train, they didn’t want to listen, all they could see was £ signs in their tiny, short sighted minds. It just makes me sad tbh, Scottish football = amateur hour 🐓 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it is true that 10 are isolating as close contacts then they will be lucky to get a postponement. That can only happen if the protocols have been significantly breached and this was the reason the 3-0s were given in the Premiership (pending appeal). I assume they will need to receive the same outcome as the Premiership clubs which I think is decided tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well in terms of the full stadium being open. Whilst everything is a mess the SPFL/SFA should be drawing up and implementing plans for the future but they won’t be. I still can’t believe that [email protected] at Aberdeen said we shouldn’t be implementing change at a time like this - this is exactly the time you should be implementing positive and forward thinking change.
