Ya Bezzer! 1,526 Report post Posted October 22, 2020 Only St Mirren have scored less goals than Ross County and ourselves. And Ross County and Motherwell have the worst shots on target record in the league. Based on the contrarian nature of football expect a 6-5 victory for one of the two.

I assume they’d be tested as a matter of course. If it’s not this then I’m with you on wondering how it’s possible. Edit: I see Ropy beat me to it.

Brazilian 744 Report post Posted October 23, 2020 Possibly, I just thought even an injured player, could be interacting, with staff, e.g Physio, covid testing staff, and to a lesser risk the likes of dining staff, hopefully a quick recovery and no lasting effects on whoever it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lobey_Dosser 783 Report post Posted October 23, 2020 Given that Lanarkshire has been reporting the highest rate of infection recently, a positive case was almost inevitable this week. Like others, I struggle to see how 1 positive case doesn’t lead to others isolating unless the individual hasn’t been been around the squad. There have been numerous examples of this though across the UK though. Fingers crossed we get the all clear from today’s testing and the game can go ahead.

Mo Ross's comments could come back to bite us if we ended up in a more serious scenario Why? He's still right. If we have a more serious scenario it just adds more fuel to the argument the league needs a way to deal with this now. Otherwise we will have half a season left to play in April. And if we breached any protocols, that should be dealt with too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dennyc 279 Report post Posted October 23, 2020 If we have followed the laid down protocol and that has resulted in nobody else requiring to isolate then surely that justifies the protocols being in place. Hopefully any investigation confirms that we are not at fault. If Clubs don't follow protocols and games are postponed as a result, then they deserve to lose the points. And that includes us if we are in breach. So it's not falling foul to CoVid that's the issue, it's how Clubs deal with it and mitigate impact. Kilmarnock appear to have been unable to evidence following the procedures and I suspect St Mirren might be in the same boat. That said, in St Mirren's case it might be all about the timing. We will have had time to have everybody checked and cleared twice before matchday, after the positive test was returned. Finding a positive on matchday does not provide that leeway. But I agree with Brazillian. How nobody else is regarded as a close contact who needs to isolate is a mystery. Even an injured player would likely have contact with medical and physio staff. Maybe we just got lucky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His point was correct, clubs know the rules at the start of the season, the SPFL signed up to the UEFA guidelines re 13 available players, but seem to have forgotten all about it. Yes we have a positive test for 1 player, will the game go ahead tomorrow probably, will we take advantage as other clubs have done , no. If the comments start a debate to get the SPFL off the fence to start taking control, then its worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brazilian 744 Report post Posted October 23, 2020 Again , spidering , on the information available you have just made all of that up based on your opinion, non- controversial opinion - ? See my response, you agreeing with it doesn’t make it non- controversial his point was correct- ? Your opinion , shame his bosses are having to deal with his comments SPFL have forgotten rules - ? Keep shouting it , as it’s only remotely believable if all the other made up scenarios are proven, and I’d back any breach hopefully game goes ahead , other clubs have taken advantage- ? So you say edit - this is the one that amazes me, who took advantage, St.Mirren? The club due to play us , but had a concerning positive result and isolated players to protect public and our entire club? Yeah that St.Mirren who you and others shout foul play at , but only a few days later have another 4 positive cases ? Imagine they hadn’t took those preventative measures, his comments start debate , SPFL - they had already instigated need to take control Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kmcalpin 1,040 Report post Posted October 23, 2020 2 hours ago, weeyin said: Why? He's still right. Agreed. He never said that clubs should not have coronavirus cases. It was about cancelling games which is an entirely different matter. Now, should we ask for a cancellation thats more concerning, but as far as I know we have not.
