Ktid1869 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Call me a cynic but I just wonder what half arsed kind of "investigation" the spfl are capable of carrying out. Absolutely no confidence in Doncaster or his merry men. Total amateurs. Shambolic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCM Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Nothing happened to Rangers when they broke protocol at the start of the season. Minor breach but still a breach of protocol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that’s the difference. Two Aberdeen players were tested positive on 6th August! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the distinction is if too many players were injured then it wouldn't be as a direct result of the club (theoretically) failing to comply with regulations, so the game would be re-scheduled? This is the reason I'm not worried about the pictures of Tish in the supermarket because that is down to the individual player's actions away from the club and the stadium. As others have said, the whole thing is a shambles, all clubs should be feeling supported by the governing bodies just now, not pointlessly attacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKX16 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 From the start of the season you could see these problems arising it was a given. The powers that be and I use the word running the game loosely should have had the foresight in seeing this coming. No matter how careful players are there will always be a chance of testing positive. We will find out what proof they have of wrongdoing and hopefully Killie can make a case that will exonerate the club from breaking the rules. As for Doncaster mouthing off recently and his unprofessional way he has conducted himself nobody can be surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn’t both of them have to forfeit their games where it was clear their players had breached the rules? Why is our situation any different? Why can’t we just pay £30k like they did? The only explanation that I can suggest is that the Aberdeen players and Bolingoli acted by themselves (if you believe Celtic didn't know where he was), but we are being charged because the club is suspected of not following protocol. Our club can't really be held responsible if players do stupid things, but we can be held responsible if the outbreak was our fault. I'm not saying we did anything wrong just suggesting what the difference is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powers that be and I use the word running the game loosely should have had the foresight in seeing this coming. They tried to get the clubs to give the board the power to call the season and it was knocked back. There's no way the clubs would vote to give the SPFL the power to impose forfeitures for a set amount of positive covid tests, why would they. The "powers that be" are pretty powerless in this situation, hence why they went down this investigation route, but ironically the best way round this would be to give them more power, and the thought of giving Doncaster and his pals more power would scare every fan in this country. Or give them no powers to impose forfeits and you could end up with situations like Maurice Ross was suggesting could happen Edited October 24, 2020 by Nigel4 -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he’ll want to be there for the Sevco game. “No non essential travel” is a term we see used a lot. It’s not essential that he is at the game or any game for that matter. On top of that it wouldn’t be proper for him to enjoy Killie's hospitality(however limited it is with Covid) when he is on the opposing side of a disciplinary case. That’ll show him! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hunter Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 We just knew that, any chance the powers that be have to flex their bias muscles, a wee club such as ours would get hammered. I’d rather spend 50k on a top QC and batter the hell out of Doncaster et al, than pay a suspended fine! For too long they have gotten away with a blatant disregard for anyone outwith Glasgow. The Scottish game is on its arse and financially devoid, so their answer is to slaughter clubs in the press, prior to their kangaroo court, and kick us when we’re down, rather than help the clubs in need. It’s almost as if they’ve never forgiven us for having the cheek to finish 3rd two seasons ago! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the power to sanction clubs up to suspension from the SFA. And holding an investigation is a really strange way of going about establishing the facts, isn’t it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
