Popular Post SkylineBlue 7,692 Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 Noone has any idea what's going to happen. The only thing we know for sure is there is absolutely not a chance in hell they'll be made to forfeit a match. They'd allow them to postpone and humiliate themselves with a paper thin excuse that noone will buy before they'll make them forfeit a match.

rangersross 3,521 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I’d rather they had to play with a full squad (minus one player) than forfeit a match. There’s every chance Hibs or Livi take points off them and I don’t want them to have an excuse. Colin Traive, ritchieshearercaldow, BillyG91 and 1 other like this Link to post Share on other sites

Shuggy 1,204 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 24 minutes ago, Graham said: Right so done a bit of digging on this with reference to the situation at Kilmarnock and St Mirren (apparently, they have forums!) So first port of call is obviously the government, who will need to confirm if the trip falls under elite sports training (difficult due to the photographic evidence this wasn't the sole purpose). It looks likely that they will do so and the game will be okay to go ahead from their point of view. The next problem would then be the team they need to play. If the 10 player situation is true, then they would need to play the game, providing they meet the minimum criteria for a team, which is 8 players, including 1 goalkeeper. This would have to be within their first team playing bubble. They can only bring in youth players should they have time to be tested and brought into the bubble, which I don't think they will have. This is the reason St Mirren and Kilmarnock couldn't field youth players – no time to make the necessary arrangements. They also couldn't meet the minimum criteria and were forced to abandon the match. (St Mirren ended up getting a hearts goalie on emergency loan for the subsequent games due to the fact they had time) So c*ltics ability to play the game will be dependent on the number of players that need to isolate and if this takes them below the 8 players. I think with 10, they would be okay due to the size of their first team squad. Now, if they can't meet the 8 player criteria and can't bring in youth in time (assuming here they also can't field a full youth squad as they won't meet the testing criteria for the SPFL games) the game would have to be abandoned/postponed. Further to this, Killie and St Mirren were then given the losses and fined due to having breached guidelines after investigation. Again, it would be hard for c*ltic to argue against this as there is photographic evidence showing they have broken guidelines and their first team coach has openly admitted there were lapses – even if their trip was allowed, they should still be operating in accordance with guidelines. The only way they would get out of 3-0 loss is if there was a complete u-turn by the SPFL. Obviously the latter would be great, but based on what we’ve heard so far, I reckon they will field a depleted squad. How depleted is the question. If not enough first team players, the entire youth squad would have to play like Villa and Derby this week. scottyscott1963 likes this Link to post Share on other sites

If they are allowed to postpone, teams like Kilmarnock and St Mirren will have much stronger cases for thier appeals against forfeit. I think it's going to end up going ahead but scum fc having to put out a weakened side. jintybear and Sweetheart like this Link to post Share on other sites

mclovin9091 1,048 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Rapid swab tests bring back results in less than 2 hours, so no excuse there. Thats what we have been using for the lorry drivers that were stuck down in Kent trying to get home for that Christmas thing that was "cancelled" a couple of days before. Oh also the excuse "we were given the go ahead in Nov" is fucking bollocks. I was going to Glasgow for the New Year and then back to work but hey i'm still here in Kent.

Popular Post Colin Traive 11,473 Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 Let’s cut to the chase here. They say that got approval (albeit two months before they travelled) but say they were still in touch with Holyrood right up to boarding so there’s probably no mileage in hoping for any own goals there. Next there’s the question of whether the activities come under “elite sport” even though Lurgan Flopp says “warm weather and R&R”. As I understand it, they’ve got away with that SO FAR so let’s move on. Now you’ve got the question of compliance while they were away. Kennedy’s comments acknowledge “minor” breaches but there is no such thing. You either comply or you don’t comply. You can’t be slightly pregnant. Regardless of this positive test (do we know for sure it is definitely a player who made the trip?), they have failed on two counts imo. 1. their coach says they breached the guidelines 2. “elite sport” is competing in elite competition (eg Rangers going to Lisbon where they fly in, compete and are out again in less than 48 hours) and not a week long kickabout and a few beers. If this is not revisited and they are not punished, then the corruption will be laid bare for all to see and the game’s a bogey. ritchieshearercaldow, kelvd1873, WilliamMunny and 6 others like this Link to post Share on other sites
