kfc_superteam Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Apparently due to Bolingoli and The McInnes 8 the government are considering pausing the season THE Scottish Government say they could put football back into cold storage as they attempt to get to the bottom of the Boli Bolingoli affair and what appears to be another 'serious' breach of coronavirus protocols. We told you earlier tonight how the Celtic star was under investigation by raging club chiefs after sneaking off on holiday to Spain in defiance of strict Covid-19 quarantine rules. The 25-year-old didn’t tell Hoops bosses he’d been to the high-risk country, failed to isolate when he returned — then played in Sunday’s game against Kilmarnock. The affair comes just a week after two Aberdeen stars tested positive for the virus and six others were forced to quarantine for 14 days after visiting a pub after the Dons' match against Rangers. Celtic ace Leigh Griffiths was also reminded of his conduct after pictures showed him at a party in his own house which breached social distancing protocols. Government patience is clearly wearing thin - a point re-inforced by national clinical director Jason Leitch on a 5pm Zoom call with managers and captains of all Scottish Premiership club this evening. And now a Scottish Government spokesman has told the Scottish Sun that they were aware of the Bolingoli incident and were attempting to establish the full facts of the affair. If confirmed, a spokesman said the authorities would have little choice but to consider PAUSING the Scottish game. The spokesman said: “The Scottish Government is aware of reports of a Celtic FC player having broken quarantine rules last week. Dons' match with Hamilton NOT confirmed, says clinical director Leitch "We are currently in discussion with the club and football governing bodies to establish the facts. “If confirmed as another serious incident within Scottish football, where protocols have been breached at the risk of wider public health, then the Scottish Government will have little choice but to consider whether a pause is now needed in the resumption of the game in Scotland.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-premiership/5913371/coronavirus-scotland-government-pause-football-bolingoli-aberdeen-breaches Edited August 10, 2020 by kfc_superteam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride_of_ayrshire Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) the correct action must be taken by Thelic, the sheep and the spfl board. After a breach in the agreement made between clubs and the government. Folk calling for dons to forfeit 3 games. And some others claiming that 3 points should be deducted from thelic Edited August 10, 2020 by Pride_of_ayrshire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffer Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Both Celtic and Aberdeen should be punished by points deduction and financial penalties also. There players lack of discipline and both Club's inability too manage them have jeopardised the whole season and put others at risk, not least our own players and staff. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cass316 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 This could absolutely put our game on Wednesday in jeopardy. He played against us and all our players came into contact with him. Our entire team might have to self isolate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he returned 2 negative tests prior to the match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just check we as a club and our players have been squeaky clean before we demand punishment on others. I have a feeling they’ll be more to come out in the newspapers in the next few days. No suggestion we have done anything wrong. Just a likely witch hunt will ensue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? If the others are worthy of punishment wouldn't our players be too? Or is our not being sanctioned more important than stopping the spread of the virus? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrwmorton Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I suspect the severity of the government action will depend on when it was known that he had been to Spain. If the Tic knew before selecting him for Sunday's game, then they should face points deduction and fine as it leaves the Government no choice but to intervene, as game has shown it impossible to self regulate due to the stupidity of a handful of players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be the case however sg guidelines are clear 2 weeks self isolation on return. Book should be thrown at him and if ceptic knew about this before playing him yesterday he should have been illegible and therefore we should be awarde 3-0 victory. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wee_Eck1979 Posted August 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 If he has broken the law By not quarantining on return from Spain then surely Celtic have to be deemed to have selected an illegible player and we should be given the points? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andy Posted August 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Baws burst, that will be the footy by, and to be fair rightly so. This is gonna be massive and huge backlash against football totally deserved. Scunnert to be honest after just spending £500+ of my hard earned cash, and these wanks swan about as bulletproof.

KillieDIV Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 What are the government guidelines about coming into contact with someone who should be isolating after returning from abroad? Is there a chance that our team will need to isolate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 If they pause the restart there won't be enough dates left to complete the season unless we go with a reduced round of fixtures like the lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
