It’s the age of information and there’s no excuse unless you’re about 14 and have no good role models. They thought they were fly and knew better but got caught and will now face the consequences as men.

Agreed, but in this age of information,were they not aware of the rules in law and within the club?

Do they not "get it" with regard to the fans and the 9 years of shite we have had to suffer?

There are plenty of role models within the club both on the playing side and the coaching staff.

Not entirely accurate. Her uncle, thankfully and hopefully horribly, died from lung cancer, he got diagnosed well before covid. His death was officially 'covid' though. 

I'm going to stick my neck out and say covid didn't play a part there. Plenty others have had similar experience. My maw's auntie watched her man die of a heart attack in front of her very eyes, also went down as covid. Considering he already had heart disease I don't see any reason why that would go down as covid either. 

It likely won't have gone down as the main cause of death but as a contributory factor. Both my aunts were the same.

People seem to be confused in this thread.

The vast majority couldn’t care less if a few young people break covid guidelines and visit friends. It’s when the young people doing it have an impact on Rangers.

Imagine if Gazza had been playing for us during all this? Would you have him nowhere near the first team squad?? 

OK I'll repeat it again..Gerrard has made the rules for our club clear regarding COVID.

If they, or you, can't get these rules then, aye... just daft wee boys... that shouldn't be near our team goingb for 55!

They were daft and will pay the price but its hardly a shocker kids at 18 are gonna do daft shit like this is it.

Suicide rates are up 145% during this lockdown, its no fucking joke what we're expecting our youth to do, and what will they get back? fuck all. education fucked, life chances fucked .

My sympathy isnt necessarily with these dafties its with all young people who are paying heavily for this.

Only reason this isn’t a total fucking shocker is that they were caught before they could integrate with the rest of the squad, who had actually followed the regulations.

I’m a huge advocate for mental health and have been affected by suicide personally. I know that rates are through the roof and I totally understand how hard it is. However, these ‘young boys’ are in an extremely privileged position, they’re not sitting in a 2 bedroom house with two parents and siblings.

I have the utmost sympathy for anyone struggling with ‘the new normal’. Football players, however, are way down that list.

Nobody knows what happened apart from you then?

Never says that but wanting people sacked or found guilty before knowing what has went on is a joke. 
 

I am sure they have broke the rules and do deserve fines etc but wanting them sacked is tarrier behaviour

Yeah of course they are fucking retards. The restrictions and noise about people slightly breaking them are pathetic though

[NorthernLights 2,526]

We’d have to pay them if we sacked them. They have contracts. If the manager decides he wants to stick them in the reserves and punt them in the summer then won’t have any complaints

Still more to come from this I think so we'll see how people's attitudes change if/when the full story comes out

3-0 defeat to Antwerp

Playing Dundee United with a weak team

They wouldn't be daft wee boys anymore put it that way

None of the players are first team regulars. Players weren't in yesterday. 

[mus 1,378]

See regardless of how long the restrictions have been in place or that they are only young lads, it is all immaterial, they are part of the first team squad not youths, they need to be able to keep to the rules age is no excuse, they would have seen what happened to Edmunson and jones and yet they still thought it was a good idea, nobody with any sense can or should try to justify what they have done, and if baffles me that people are!

And that was more important to them than our league campaign and getting to last 16 of Europa and ultimately being club legends.

 

Leagues won and Europe is something they would not have touched unless Borna and Tav Got injured

People are over complicating it. 
 

Their stupidity could have cost us in our title run in. Points, players etc
 

They deserve everything that’s coming to them for that alone. 
 

fuck all else matters

I agree.

Its not rocket science. They are 19 to 21 not 15 and 16.

This could potentially have been devastating for our European Campaign and 55.

Really disappointed in Patterson. 

However, I do accept I don't have the full story yet.

Thankfully the Tims messed up in Dubai so that will mitigate any potential impact.

I await the Clubs response with trepidation.

Or if they'd appeared at training today and forced other players into isolation.

Anyone believing the government's pish about covid is a fucking fool. If your young and healthy, Get it, recover, all done. 

Young folk are the biggest carriers just now, You missed out pass it on to others.You know friends, family, even random folk you don't know. That would be just fucking foolish. But then again, you suggest you know more the rest of us. 

Folk who know most are the folk at the hospital who see people come in, know the symptoms, know the suffering and know how they die from it, including colleagues. And even those who recovered and got it again.

Not sure about their living arrangements, but is being in big flat on your own' and not being allowed to see anyone, any better for your mental health??

And now of Tav or Barasic get injured we can’t call on them as playing Monopoly with birds was more important to them.

I should be clearer, my posts are mostly about the affects of covid regs on young people generally, not necessarily just about these dafties who should and probably will be moved on.

I'll need to re-hear the details but I'm sure they did btw. 'Cause I remember being obviously shocked by it. 

Anyway......what a pair of dicks. Should both be punted in the summer for me.

See we dont know that for sure mate you are gathering evidence based on social media 👍 the monopoly photo was from the training ground and it was on tavs instagram then 👍

Nobody is saying you can control an employee 24 hours a day but if they break the law and it makes national headlines, they can expect to be fucked. Fuck, mind we sacked Fran Sandaza for disclosing business sensitive information after he got duped by some fuckwit online.

I hate to say it but I'm with the Dude on this one.

There's lots of examples of people posting something unsavoury on personal social media and because that same social media elsewhere mentions their employment, they are seen as bringing the employer into disrepute.

The club would entirely be within their rights to terminate their contracts. 

They won't though.

Except they’re not locked in a flat alone.

They’re at training nearly every single day mixing with other people.

Some people have been shielding for a fucking year man

[graeme_4 34,521]

Wish folk would shut the fuck up about points deductions. It isn’t happening. 

Bottom line is the players were selfish and could have fucked 55 (worst case scenario). Utter stupidity. 

I doubt they’ll play a game for the club again, which for me is a blow as Paterson looked a player. 

People talk about consistency, but we absolutely wouldn’t be saying sack them if it was Jack, Morelos and McGregor.

The reality is it’s a business and decisions are made accordingly. Haven’t seen many EPL players sacked for their indiscretions, or even Rangers players for a long list of wild antics over the years.

If they live on their own they can form an extended household with somebody else. 

However, most young players who aren’t married or with a partner tend to flat share with other players, so I doubt any of them are sitting in a big flat alone.

Whether Monopoly or not they’ve been issued fines for breaking Covid rules.
