M-m-m-my Corona…

Will any more of them have to isolate. Wouldn't the 2 infected ones have come into contact with all the other players?

The 2 infected players could be back playing before the other six self isolators.

Under no circumstances whatsoever should AFC send a team to play in Perth.

Any attempt to do so should be seen by the fans as crawling to the Hun supporting SFA and be treated with the contempt it deserves.

I see where you're coming from - however I think the players have to take responsibility here. I don't know what the club rules are around this, but if you let players go out to crowded areas when you know the risks and the rigorous testing we have to comply with... then the club have noone to blame but themselves. If the players have gone against club rules in doing this, then it's their own fault. Either way, I'm not sure there's much of an argument we can make.

In a strange way I'm looking forward to the game more now as we'll not have 6 central midfielders shoehorned into the team playing deadly boring hoofball (which in itself is a great irony - McInnes' love for midfielders, but a style of play that doesn't really require a midfield).

Stuff me, I don't think I've credited McInnes with foresight before, but clearly his midfield recruitment over the last 12 months was because he saw this coming. Well done Derek!

Aye... it’s just a pity that McGeouch, Ojo, Ferguson & Bryson are four of the eight unavailable

It's really not that bad, most of the numpties who played against Sevco deserve to be dropped anyway.

Could be a blessing in disguise. Bryson was like the invisible man last weekend and Ojo was worse than a man down. The fact McGeouch didn't even get on when we were so shambolic in midfield suggests to me that he wasn't really fit. When Campbell came on he looked better than any of the others.

I’ll remind you of that after we’ve been to Parkhead.

[mondo_notion]

I guess it could be the old McInnes mis-information and deception tactic being taken to another level. They were all probably tucked up in bed early doors after the hun game.

[InversneckieDob]

Seems to be a suggestion that Ojo and Ferguson wernae there but Hayes and Cosgrove were.
A birthday celebration for Shinnie?

[Don_Corleone]

I’ll remind you of that after we’ve been to Parkhead.

I think we'll still do okay against St Johnstone and Hamilton (unless there's further injuries). We're never going to get anything at Parkhead anyway with McInnes' usual approach to those games, so won't make much difference (other than maybe an extra goal or two).

I wonder if we'll have another emergency loan or two lined up in the next week (bring one of Edmonson's pals up from Leeds to keep him company) - even if it's just a 1,2 or 3 month loan deal or something (I assume that kind of thing is allowed?!)

[The_Moog]

Even if there wasn’t a pandemic going around it’s embarrassing these players were out on Saturday night after the performance against the Huns.

None of them looked like they were anywhere near being match fit so the last thing they should have been doing is going out on the piss.

Pretty much sums the club up though if true though.

They don’t give a fuuck so not sure why were expected to do so either?
