The tests are organised by the NHS as compared to the football club tests which are carried out by either the clubs medical department or a private company. I think the private company being used by the teams have a number of other contracts including European golf etc. You and random can dress it up aw you want, Serco and there associates have the contracts and it is dressed up as NHS test and trace and nothing to do wae the NHS apart from having to treat patients Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hear the programme but was he answering a question or was he shooting his mouth off? If the latter he should be told to keep his mouth zipped until the investigation has been completed and made public. Does he already know that Killie or one or two of their players have put their size 10s in the dooda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 It’s getting complicated! My understanding is they will forfeit the league games only if they are found to be at fault, but will forfeit the league cup games whether they were at fault or not, because of greater time constraints. Whatever they do to wee teams, will they do the same to the Bigot Brothers? Answers on a postcard. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy1949 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I know they will but they can’t go on making the rules up as it goes on. They set the precedent by only fining Celtic and Aberdeen but only suspending the player(s) found guilty. They can’t change that rule now and deduct points in the league but they might to be able to in the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do all the lower league players with part time jobs turn up at the likes of McDiarmid for tests & is it not to be two tests a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Celtics Christie now got it along with a few others in Scotland squad. Eduard & Christie were not on field too long so hopefully they have not infected Saints players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Edouard and Christie look unavailable for the OF game next week as a result of international duty. McGregor and Taylor could be at a similar risk and there may be others. Will the SPFL force them to play the blue half with a weakened team when arguably they are not at fault given that the players have not been under the green brother's control? Could be interesting!

Both Bigots have huge squads. They could each lose a dozen players and still have a team we could only dream of. If the SPFFLPLpLFL call this game off for a few absences, it would be a disgrace.

Normally I like alphabet soup but you have me beat this time. However, the rest of your post is clear enough for me to agree with you 100%. Another thought, leading from the complaints about Tierney's isolation coming from Arsenal, Scotland might find an awful lot of injuries springing up if Israel are disposed of and we try to raise a squad to play Serbia or Norway away in the final playoff.

Cagey Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Scotland v England under 19 friendly stopped at half time due to a member of Scotland's back room staff being tested positive. 2 Scotland back room staff previously positive. Not looking good as I would assume the back room staff come from various clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
