Before anyone says "đ» den" - this seriously affects our title push. 8 Aberdeen players miss 3 matches: St Johnstone, Hamilton and celtic. Only St Johnstone cancelled. "Scottish football's joint response group" insist the other 2 matches must go ahead. I don't understand the logic of why that 1 game is different?? Hopefully aberdeen's wee team gives them a better game than their first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiverpoolBlue 1,394 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Just read then Duncaster has said - regarding possible the possible postponement of Aberdeen's games against Accies and the scum - that there was no 'wriggle room' for re-arranged games! So those teams will have to just get on with it, as we had to do in 2008Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season gets stopped again then points on the board and games played will be crucial if they use average points per game again hence the imbalance of away games for us in the opening 3 rounds of fixtures.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In such a blatant disregard of the rules Aberdeen should have been forfeited the game. Anything thereafter they should play with whatever team they can field regardless. I also think that youâre sceptical side is correct and any reason to see us loose pace in this title will be jumped on, hopefully wonât happen but I honestly couldnât see the same course of events taking place if it was Aberdeen v celtic this weekend...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It should all have been sorted by making sheep forfeit all games until the players come out of isolation. They cannot be expected to play with 8 first team players out. That way the club are punished, no fixture congestion, and the club can take internal action against the wrongdoers.

Ross-Gazza genius 1,890 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Not sure if it was mentioned but I see of note Johnny Hayes, Scott mckenna, Craig bryson, Dylan mcgeoch, michael devlin, matt Kennedy and Bruce Anderson were the players who will miss they games against the scum. Also with considines suspension and the injuries to main and Cosgrove I can now understand why the spfl want that game to go ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting that we are all meant to have 19 home and 19 away games and at the split we will have played 16 home games and will therefore post split have three home games but more crucially we will have to go away for a third time to two of them. celtic off course have the opposite IE a third home game to two of them.

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I think the SPFL pushed for the restart of Scottish football too soon, they should have waited until October to start season 20/21 but they were too concerned about saving the 10iar tv deal and the big money pot. The agreement with the government was that football was given the go-ahead to restart on the strict condition that clubs and players abide by the guidance.  The SPFL would be as well making sure all players wore ankle bracelets 24/7 to track their movements, as that is the environment the SPFL have created for players with this restrictive unrealistic bubble the SPFL talk about. I can't see how this season's competition will be classed as fair when Aberdeen will be made to play against cfc with a weakened team. This will give cfc a big GD advantage, which will determine the end of the season on PPG should the competition be called again. If Aberdeen does not have the players to play this game, then they will be forced to forfeit the game, giving cfc a 3pt advantage as the SPFL said there was no wiggle room to reschedule matches. Also last season the SPFL said if one player tested positive in the SPFL league then the season would be postponed. why can't they do that now and restart in October?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 We all know it is a matter of time before some other dumplings at another football club go down the pub and this senario repeats. The consequenses will be utter chaos and the SPFL have show their lack of ability time after time to deal with problems. Wee Nippy will shut the season down at some point.

Resilience planning is a standard protocol for any well run organisation, However, when in actuality fact you have a perpetually incompetent, untrustworthy and arguably corrupt organisation who has an overpaid puppet at its helm, yet again we find things will be âplayed by earâ with favour being directed at those who wield the most influence (no prizes for guessing who, should a scenario present itself)... As for Sturgeon, she will interfere with any âhigh profileâ issue that she thinks will give her positive headlines and Aberdeenâs faux pas with no set punishments in place was an ideal in road for her...
