M-m-m-my Corona…

1, 2, 3, & 4) don't see what pre season has to do with it. Not relevant. It is about behaviours meant to reduce the spread of the virus. Pre or in season makes no difference. This happened to be a mistake in season, still that, a mistake.
5) she didn't get sacked, she resigned days after the event.
6) Griffiths behaviour highlighted only to show most clubs seem to be affected by mistakes.

I shall never ever be liberal minded about anything the cheating huns do. I will though note that they were one of the clubs slapped on the wrist for doing what they usually do and ignore the rules/ protocols in place.

Did they have their league games postponed?

You are making excuses. Not relevant ones either.

The players didn't have their game postponed, the Scottish Government did. Yet they didn't postpone the Motherwell game. We don't know the criteria the government used for these decisions. Pre-season games were postponed due to findings of the virus. Who knows what impact the Aberdeen spike in numbers had on their decision. I seem to recall a quote from Nicola along the lines of it would be unfair to Perth to inflict the Aberdeen spike on that city despite no fans and all in the Aberdeen travelling team party would have been tested negative. Point is that in new circumstances changing all the time the powers that be are trying to take into account the circumstances and find appropriate solutions.

I'm not making excuses. I've already said that the players made a mistake and must face the consequences. Unlike you however, I've tried to understand the context of what is happening and put our players mistake into that context. It is only from there that you can formulate and justify any consequence proposed.

I'm not asking them to be taking out the back and shot. I'm just stating that it's embarrassing. What other team has been in this position? Two of our players were tested positive and 6 others were in their company that night. That's the players fault not the Scottish governments or anyone elses.

They didn't have to go out. We all know if it were another club, in particular the Huns then we'd all be calling for them to be thrown out the league.

The other clubs I thought would keep their powder dry in case they have the same issues but since no other club in Europe has then it looks even more embarrassing for us.

The other clubs are probably glad we've made a chunt of it to make sure they don't.

Shambles.

I'm still more pissed off we have more time without football.

I totally agree that this has been an embarrassment. The players were wrong. But the suggestion that no other club has not had issues is just wrong. Plenty of clubs with positive tests. Three clubs in our country slapped over the wrist for not following protocols/ rules. We have no idea whether the other positive tests followed "nights out" or not or how the players caught the virus. The Scottish Government have not been consistent in their comments. To suggest that our club stands out on it's own for misbehaviour is a suggestion too far. We don't have the evidence to support that suggestion. Doesn't mean that the players didn't make a mistake but it was a mistake amongst others.

This happening now is probably the best thing for Scottish football.

No doubt there would have been multiple times were players would have tested positive and games would have had to be rescheduled, whether that was caught from a pub visit or not, but now everyone is going to be extra careful ensuring their players aren't as stupid as ours.

Celtic fans still want to take the moral high ground?

He’s a pish, reserve left back
They can probably afford to say “sack him”.
