Cagey Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I the situation with covid under control in Holland as I just tuned in to Holland game & loads of fans were sitting together without masks. Also a female ref. What's the world coming to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Rangers appealing the ban on 5 players for breaking covid rules. SFA have bent over backwards to allow their players to be available for Europe & then just gave them a 4 match ban. Hope the SFA bump it back up to the standard 7 match ban. What do they hope to achieve ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Gerrard says Patterson shouldn't be banned as he is a special talent. If the SFA bend over any further it will just confirm the SFA are all H UN's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he is more or less saying is that this is one of the best right backs ever to come out of Scotland, so instead of paying by the rules he should be given special treatment as banning him for 6 weeks will harms Scotland's European championship chances and also our world cup chances. Really think he has lost the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to that font of all knowledge, "The Bear's Den", they want Patterson available until Tavernier is fit again. To be fair even some of the posters on there think Gerrard has lost it on this one dishing out the ultimate insult "**** behaviour"!

south inch Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I see one of the standard Rangers* insults directed at Catholics beginning with T and ending in G is not allowed on here. Good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MSM do not seem to have noticed or chose to ignore it. Quite correct but he is still not fit and seemingly a major doubt for the Celtic cup match. By appealing the ban Patterson can still play until the hearing. I think Rangers* are telling the SFA that they are back in charge so please check with us before issuing even token bans to our players.

Cagey Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Covid 5 appeal not being heard until after the OF cup game. SFA are a joke. They can't even pretend to be even handed in Scottish football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I wonder how the SFA will manage to avoid banning the covid 5 & allow them to play until the end of season. Maybe tomorrow's meeting will be cancelled due to covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 SFA have eventually made a decision . Don't know why it couldn't be done on Tuesday. Maybe they had to wait to see if Taverner came through last night game unscathed. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 East Fife seem to have got a harsh decision today being fined £1,000 with a further £10k suspended for refusing to play Clyde when advised just before KO that a Clyde player had Covid from a Saturday test. I say "seem" because as usual the Media are a bit short on facts. Surely it mattered why the Clyde player had been tested on Saturday. If he had symptoms why was he even at the ground until the result of his test was known? If he had been tested with the Clyde team why had the results not been fast tracked? Just seems that officialdom can act very quickly when the OF are not involved and show no sympathy for players who have pregnant partners and/or are worried about their full time jobs.

Just seems that officialdom can act very quickly when the OF are not involved and show no sympathy for players who have pregnant partners and/or are worried about their full time jobs. The crux of this seems to be the JRG's advice on the night that the match could go ahead safely. The SPFL are even quoted as saying "There has been no recorded case, worldwide, of any on-pitch transmission of Covid-19" While I have no doubt those figures are correct the SPFL will only have data from a period where it's unlikely positive players would have mixed with teammates and/or been in and around a facility on match day. The situation this week does seem to be different. But if the advice was clear, even in this case, it does suggest there is now little risk from any adult, outdoor football. While I believe the JRG were correct and risk was low to non existent, the onus was on them and the SPFL to convince the players involved it was safe. We've all, quite rightly, been under the cloud of covid restrictions for so long it's not difficult to have sympathy for any player feeling nervous being in such close proximity to other players who have likely been in close contact with a positive case.

The players that tested positive was not only on the pitch with the rest of the clyde players but also in the dressing room, I recently has a whole 2011 squad isolated after an outdoor hour long training session because one kid tested positive. This was raised with the SFA and Sport Scotland as they followed the advice regarding training bubbles etc. The response its up to test and protect.

garydavidson Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I was wondering if Motherwell were going to go back on their word but this is quite the unexpected announcement. Fair play to them, a great set of values. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I note that Rangers have claimed £3.2 mil interest free SG loan due to the effects of Covid. All other premiership clubs have claimed except Celtic. You can only claim against Covid related losses so I presume that is why Rangers have received more than the average £2 mil per team. Will we ever see that £3.2 mil back in the government coffers as there is no way this club will avoid administration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
