Just wondering what precedent it sets though. Do they want to play or are they being forced to? Is the fact its their own doing relevant or would it not matter either if they weren't at fault? As much as I don't give a fuck about the sheep I think its right we know more about the background to why this division has been made. Next time it could be us involved, our main rivals already are to their benefit in facing a depleted opponent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine Aberdeen will want to be playing with 8 players missing so they’re probably being told to, which is right if players have broken protocol imo, would be different if no rules had been broken though.

Colin Traive 22,843 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The fact that the scum are pretty much guaranteed three points every time they play Aberdeen is completely irrelevant. Similarly, the stupidity of the Aberdeen players isn’t the point either. Their club will discipline them, as they should. If fixtures can be cancelled because an ex-player has died, then there has to be scope to recognise the impact of a global pandemic and the fact that forcing a team to complete three fixtures with most of their first team unavailable brings the competition into disrepute. It is as if the people running our game are actively looking for ways to make football in this country a laughing stock. The only absolute certainty is that, had they been scum players, these games would not be going ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 They’ve set a precedent with this, it doesn’t matter how the Aberdeen players got Covid. If we have eight 1st team players from our team out and we had the cunts the following week the game now must go on. Probably wouldn’t work vice versa with the cunts mind you, this year is fucked already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. But its just as possible the spfl would insist the show must go on regardless of fault. For me it needs clarification. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Honestly have no sympathy for them whatsoever and will affect them more v St.J than it ever would've v tarriers. It's the players fault that they will be missing 8 of them as they would've been well aware of guidelines given to clubs....will bet your bottom dollar though if one other club had this issue the games would be postponed.

Unless, of course, Aberdeen need to win to pip Rangers to second place. In which case they'll win. 1-0 or something. Miracles do happen. People will think I'm a sad cunt, but I NEVER bet. It's just something I'm not interested in really. I was abroad when that game was getting played and I put a lot of money on the sheep winning, can't remember if it was 300 or 500 euros. That's the one bet I've put on and the one bet I won, I was that convinced the taigs would be cunts.

They are fuming - although tbh, I've little sympathy for them. Players knowingly breached protocols (with some suggestions senior club staff were very much aware of planned night out) so there's been a really dim view taken of it. When it was St. Mirren last week, there was an expectation that if any more than one or two were confirmed after second round of tests that the game would be postponed as the club had fully complied with all the guidelines and was therefore outwith their control. Since Aberdeen's players were out on the piss, it's up the the club to figure out how to deal with the consequences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I’m wrong that that’s a thing No, the testing is in place to catch it if players pick it up without knowing they've been in contact with someone who has it. If the players are in contact with someone who has it, they have to isolate regardless of the club's testing regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenv 2,125 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It's not exactly a level playing field though if we have teams being fielded with major numbers of first-teamers missing. Goal different can and does have a difference to those at the top, so if clubs are able to clock up cricket scores against weakened teams that's not exactly balanced.

coopsleftboot 5,512 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 If you can get a game cancelled because you're feeling a wee bit sad because a player (that used to play with your club, but before your time and you never really knew him anyway) died, then surely you can have a game cancelled when your players are affected by a worldwide pandemic?

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,765 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I've little sympathy for the sheep in general let alone these circumstances, but it does seem against the integrity 🤔 of the game to play it as their punishment rather than some other form of censure. If we were to be one of the teams they faced I'd take it as an advantage against a typically difficult opponent of ours but wouldn't think it right.

ElBufalo20 7,906 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 One game in and we’re creating threads about tarrier conspiracy theories. This is going to be one long season. its Aberdeen’s fault. Why should the opposition be inconvenienced with a postponement of a game due to the sheep players stupidity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
