Cagey Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Not off yet but will be within the next hour. Two players now positive & 8 reportedly in the pub on Saturday night.Out celebrating not kicking a ball against Rangers. Aberdeen will have to get the book thrown at them.

RandomGuy Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Yeah second positive test has likely ****ed this game now. No idea how you can guarantee the rest aren't carrying the virus despite the testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the only reason SG allowed season to start. I don't think they will pause the season but more like this & they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not in Europe as well ?. Can't see Uefa mucking about ,they will just throw them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 There are midweek games on Wednesday so that would have to be cancelled as well. This is going to be messy. The only way SPFL can sort this is for the club causing the cancellation is deemed to lose the game 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cristo Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 If Aberdeen make the decision not to play then they have to forfeit the game and Saints get awarded a walk over. I've a feeling that the odd occasion this happens a 3-0 win is awarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south inch Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 We could perhaps play St Mirren instead as Rangers* could be playing a Europa tie on Monday if they win tonight.Ā Oh wait - maybe forget that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Game will surely be cancelled now. Probably just a slap on the wrist for the club. Inevitable this was going to happen. St Mirren friendly with us was cancelled, this will be too. Aberdeens next gameĀ will be as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastsaintee Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) My mate works at SFA and thinks they willĀ fulfil the fixture this weekend, but causes major problems if they can't next week....depends if it's players or staff, or both. And if the positive people have been immediately quarantined, who they've had contact with etc. Ā Edited August 6, 2020 by belfastsaintee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Andy Considine also suspended, so Aberdeen are potentially 9 first team players down (assuming all 8 told to isolate are senior players) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's one of them. Nope, Shinnie isn't an Aberdeen player, and the SFA have forced 8 Aberdeen players into isolation. Four are definitely McKenna, Bryson, McGeouch and Cosgrove, theres photos that prove they were out with a 5th, unidentified, player. Cosgrove was injured anyway but the other 3 will all miss out.

Aberdeen fans saying McKenna, Devlin, Ojo, Bryson, McGeouch, Ferguson, Kennedy and Anderson are the 8 who'll be missing. Plus Considine who was suspended.
