They're just trying to avoid giving the teams a financial penalty and trying to keep the league table looking neat.

    Would i be right in thinking that Sevco had players on the park v us in that friendly but never even got a slap on the wrist, or am I imagining this?
    I think you are well right Stokie. Wish I had the details, does anyone? Could be interesting...

    Crock o **** the way this has been handled!

    Sevco failed to follow protocols v us and never got anything!
    Septic player has a day out the country and got fined!
    8 Aberdeen players hit the pubs and i cant remember what they got.

    So St Mirren and Killie players used a bus, had a meal and shared cars, something that people have to do every day and are hit with punishments like this that end up punishing other clubs. A precedent had already been set by re-arranging covid postponed matches already this season, and i dont think this is over yet. I doubt either club has the financial means to do the right thing and appeal this!

    This is ridiculous

    Why does this happen now when Celtic and Aberdeen had no such punishment

    The league and matches wherever possible should be decided on the pitch

    Honestly if this was any of the Glasgow sides there is no FN way the same rules would be applied.To lose or to win 10 in a row with a 3-0 walkover thrown in would never be accepted by the other side.
    Celtic and Aberdeen players breached the rules to a much greater extent than ST Mirren or Killie but their matches were postponed,the Sheep should have been FN hammered,honest to phuck this is all wrong.

    Let's remember what the Sheep got up to as ST Mirren and Killie are docked points for players sitting too close to each other on a bus and for their pre-match meal.

    FN shocking Doncaster you useless barsteward.Eight players made to isolate and the punishment was to not force them to play or forfeit the game but grant them a postponement until they were all out of quarantine.

    very good point James, why the 3 goals, nae need for that at all, actually why any goals? are points not enough?

    The clubs need to move Doncaster & his executive board on. Bunch of wallpapers and Septic/Newco sycophants.
