The Dude 20,027 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Just now, BlueThunder said: So what is the thinking behind stopping all of Scottish football? Wouldn’t simply having any affected clubs (Killie and celtic) postpone there matches of the next 14 days not be sufficient? Why would our match against St Johnstone have to be stopped? Because football was only given the go ahead to restart on the basis that everyone adhered to the guidelines. Its pretty clear that players (and not just at celtic and Aberdeen) think they are somehow above it. It was always the case that the actions of a few could seriously hurt everyone else and that's coming home to roost now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to think of another situation in football where a rule breach by one club or player results in the whole league being punished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is an employer not responsible for the actions of their employees while doing his job, ie training and playing? Again, you’re trying to see it only from their side.

That may be the case but it punishes everybody and further adds to fixture congestion. I really don’t see why stopping the game for a month (yet probably allowing them to play their CL qualifier) benefits anyone. Surely punishing those who breach and reward those who don’t is the way to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
