Covid-19 Club Statement


Recommended Posts


Gilmour given a bit of a rough time.  There are three parts to the Covid issue.

The Government decision was simply based on number of cases, risks to other players etc.  They are not worried who is infected, simply number of cases, exposure, risk etc.  They do not look at individual players etc

The UEFA situation only dictates the number of players you need to field.  It does state that it is 13 players INCLUDING a goalkeeper.

The situation of losing 3 goalkeepers very late in the day is a football issue.  The emergency rule is there but what would be the outcome if St Mirren had conscientiously endeavoured to get an emergency goalkeeper and given the difficulty such as player needs to be Covid tested,  failed through no fault of themselves.  Hearts having a goalkeeper in training and tested was pure luck.

Outfield players have gone in goals but seldom from the start.  To me insisting they put an outfield player in goals is the wrong part.

Ross County boss throws his hat into the ring with a wee bit of late support. Won't be surprised if they bring in a new rule now that we've been shafted

Shut up Kettlewell.

We were not disadvantaged.

We had 11 players including a keeper in both matches so not an issue.

A farce is Kettlewell condoning Ross Stewart diving and cheating all over the pitch.

A farce is Kettlewell, Goodwin and others allowing their players to bend the knee for BLM terrorists.

 

We were disadvantaged.We had to field a keeper who had only met his new team mates 2 hours before kick off.

" A girly breakdown " ? So you're not just a racist. 

Careful now, he'll hound you all over the website if you call him a racist.

Not sure if being called out on misogyny or discrimination against those with mental health problems will get him so irate.

Let them field their reserves then. We were told there will be no games postponed because of covid when we couldn't delay the hibs game due to the goalkeeping issues..let's see how this pans out, or will it be overshadowed by the draw in Europe for rangers and celtic..[emoji849]

Exactly.

Isn’t the point here that our goalies hadn’t mixed with the rest of the squad so no other players had to isolate. If the Killie players in question have had exposure to the whole squad, that’s a completely different thing. 

Yes.

However, 1 Celtic player sneaks abroad - cancelled ( as precaution no test involved )

Aberdeen players head to pub - cancelled

Kilmarnock have a squad vast majority tested clear - cancelled

That will be the argument im sure, but the league and clubs have said there is no room for this and games will have to be played. The Czech Republic game where they fielded a whole team of reserves, under 23s etc against Scotland was used as an example by league representatives and pundits alike...its a nonsense..

People will whine, doesn't really affect us but we're desperate. 😂
