Yes, they should be penalised but prior to that they were unfairly demoted a place.

Yeah,I know what you mean.

Guy on Radio Scotland came up with rather than gifting points to opponents you should deduct the points from the “guilty” party.

[Desperately Seeking Susans]

There should just have been a fine rather than all the stupid point distribution.

in that case, we have been punished twice for one occurrence 

Strangely, that's the way I looked at it. 

Hypothetically speaking, if players had to self isolate for 14 days, possibly missing three Saturdays and had two midweek games.  Season over.

If they suspended the fine why could the not suspended the forfatures

I'm disgusted again by the level of punishment meted out to our beloved diddy club in this pandemic..

 

That's what happens when the fans are not in charge.

Waiting patiently on one of two outcomes:-

- our club comes out and defends our position & refutes the OTT punishment handed out.

- our club apologies whole heartedly for letting the club and fans down given their privileged position during this pandemic.

I don’t think one of the above is too much to ask.

What's really galling is that we were given a warning with the 3 keepers situation and yet passed up the opportunity to tighten procedures.

What we should really have done is copied Celtic and bought our own machine, meaning no-one else sees their test results. They've been an examplar of how to handle this - not one positive test. Until their players go on international duty......

A suspended points deduction of 6 points would have been an appropriate punishment.  If we f**ked up again before the end of the season then it’s 6 points off, this would ensure that the games actually got played.

That's exactly my thoughts above a much better solution in my opinion. You can bet your last dollar if it had been one of the arse cheeks that's what would have happened.

Instead of waiting you could check the website and read part one of the defence and refute.

Read it on Thursday and like most still waiting on the further response [emoji6]...
The club operated honestly throughout the whole process and will review its position before issuing a further response.

Let's see in the beaks do anything about Dundee United or Celtic. Our punishment related to breaching Covid rules, so isn't that what those two clubs have done?

No matches postponed.

No big deal.

And who will they award the 3-0 victories to?

Motherwell of course. With a penalty to Rangers just to rub the salt in. [emoji6]

Having read the article it really would be a waste of time appealing it, club knew about the car sharing, etc and postponed games because they couldn't get a squad together. Seems a pointless exercise.

In the case of dundee utd, theirs is staggeringly stupid given circumstances  but they are fulfilling fixtures as they must have a larger squad.

 

We got caught out through stupidity and smaller squad.
