I’m just wondering if there would have been as much controversy over this if the game had been called on the Friday. The lateness of the call off is what seems to be causing the conspiracy theories all over social media. I take the view that we might have dodged a bullet here in that at least none of our players were put at risk. Imagine if we had lost the game then heard next week that half the squad had tested positive going into 2 very winnable games and having to play vastly weakened teams. I would like to think that if St Mirren have taken the piss it will all come out in the wash and action taken but I won’t hold my breath.

Probably not but he can also play at the back. Point is though he’s not getting a sniff with us however is highly rated by Scotland but maybe not as highly by Robbo (who tbf sees him every day). Maybe we just have an embarrassment of riches.

If he’s good enough to play for Scotland surely to feck he’s good enough for Motherwell

Both looked really comfortable in that formation. Robbo please take note

20% of those who tested positive and were contacted by tracers according to Govt figures although I believe it has now gone up to 23%

The reason the Govt know those figures is because track and trace is working in those circumstances. It’s the punters who cause the problems by giving false contact details so they could potentially be wandering about spreading the virus without even knowing they’ve been in contact with someone in the pub at the same time who has tested positive and might even be positive themselves Those are likely the same ones who don’t wear masks in shops and go to house parties every week. Its virtually impossible to prove whether someone has caught the virus through contact sports. The affected Accies/Killie/St Mirren players could have caught it in a shop or restaurant just as easily as at a training session All any Govt can do is try and stop people meeting in large numbers to slow down the spread and unfortunately for us football falls into that category. Anyway hope our 2 guys haven’t been anywhere near Stuart Armstrong.

Because going for your messages is an essential journey, going to a football match isn’t

Contact tracing has established that approx 1 in 5 people or 20% who tested positive had been in a cafe/bar/restaurant in the 14 days prior to being tested so think the 5% figure infection rate from those type of premises might be vastly underestimated.

Someone on P&B saying we’ve signed Jack Hamilton from Dundee now Suppose we’ll find out soon enough

Aaron Chapman. ex Peterborough goalie going by the rumour mill

The way I look at it is we’re replacing one player with a better one so that can’t be a bad thing

Who in the Sheva team hasn’t been booked?

This mob don’t half like hitting the turf.

Make sure you’re in PPV and not Live

I’m sure he will. There hasn’t been a Manager in history that hasn’t had to turn things around at some point. Some succeed and some don’t. The ones that do tend to have longer and more successful careers

Which is the sign of a good Manager

You could see the confidence levels rise as the game went on. Totally comfortable and never looked as if Aberdeen were going to stage any kind of comeback Hapoy days

Like every player we sign, I’ll reserve judgement until I actually see him play. Ayr Utd fans certainly rate him very highly.

Harry Robinson away on loan to QOS His granny is over on Well Boys3 wishing him good luck. Wonder if she tells Robbo what they’re saying about him on there.

Still have nightmares about those 2 games.

Funny enough I was out with a friend who is a Lawyer In one of those firms who specialise in no win no fee accident claims and he was saying that they had already had quite a few people contacting them to see if they would take on their case because they had caught Covid. Joked that his firm was opening up a new dept called Coronavirus Claims 4U. I hope he was joking but wouldn’t be surprised if something like that did happen eventually

tbh I quite enjoyed the odd few moments of Verizon advertising to take my mind off just how bad the game was.

All this chat about how we are heading for certain relegation got me thinking about what fans of other clubs are saying about their team so I took a couple of hours to scrawl through all the forums of RossCo,St Mirren et al and guess what? They are saying the same things about their teams that we’re saying about ours. Truth of the matter is that the quality of our League this season is crap and every team in the bottom 8 are as bad as each other. Whether that is down to the unusual circumstances with Covid or not I don’t know but not having the usual build up to games and the lack of match atmosphere might be having a negative effect on every team.

Maybe they’re on their way to blag someone’s house and don’t want to get caught on CCTV.

Any redevelopment of the Main stand would presumably need the land that the 2 houses at the South stand end sit on. The last 2 houses sold on Firpark St went for approx 260k each in 2018/2019 So even supposing you could convince the 2 householders to sell at that price (which they probably wouldn’t), when you add up demolition land clearance,fees etc you could be looking at up to 1m before you even start any redevelopment work.
