60% about covid. Why not ask questions about football.

Edit - even his questioning of Murphy, you’ve had a lot of injuries, are you fit? He’s been on loan down south since the injury, who the hell is the interviewer?

Do we know for sure that it's 2 goalkeepers that are out?

STV now saying three of their most experienced goalies are out. The third is due to the risk they are incubating the virus.

So do they play a youth goalkeeper or is that them with no keeper at all

CLUB STATEMENT
SMFC Webteam
Saints News
11 September 2020
St Mirren Football Club can confirm that tomorrow’s match against Hibernian will go ahead.

The club received very late confirmation from the SPFL this evening following a meeting between the Scottish Government and Joint Response Group.

The club have been informed that due to positive test results and track and trace protocols, our goalkeepers, Jak Alnwick, Dean Lyness and Peter Urminsky are all ineligible for tomorrow’s match. With less than 24 hours’ notice our only option is to attempt to bring in an eligible goalkeeper on loan and the club are working hard to do so and we will update fans as soon as possible once a deal is complete.

The club has rigorously followed all protocols put in place by the Scottish Government and the SPFL/SFA Joint Response Group and we will continue to do so. This is a very difficult situation for all concerned and we will continue to discuss with the SPFL how cases like this are dealt with in the future but we can assure St Mirren fans that we are doing all we can to make sure that we have a strong team for tomorrow’s match.

The club will not be issuing any other statement on this matter.

If anyone thinks there is facility to call games off for this, they are deluded. As the season goes, more & more players will be lost, hopefully we can get through the season in full. Which makes it all the more unfair that certain teams got away with having players wilfully flout, with no consequence.

There is going to be loads of unfairness this year, like Gogic missing a game when he didn’t have the virus. Players are going to miss games all over the place. Just need to try and take advantage when it goes for you I suppose, because it’ll probably be our turn to suffer again in a few weeks.

It’s good that this shows people that games don’t need called off every time there is a positive test though!

The issue here is that the Aberdeen and Celtic games were postponed, when they should have been played. A precedent has been set and now St Mirren and ourselves have been hard done by in missing players who appear to have stuck to the guidelines. There is obviously not the time to postpone every time a player tests positive now, but some acknowledgement and apology needs to be made over this debacle.

So they sign Zlamal and then when he goes back to Hearts he interacts with the whole squad and he tests positive (but it's symptomless so he's okay). Then the whole team has to isolate and they miss more training. Cue another Anne Budge statement, Hearts outrage and hilarity ensuing. 😂😂😂

But they’d have to postpone their next 2 as wellThey'd have more than 24hrs to find a keeper and allow him to have at least one training session with the squad.

Any unsigned keepers are unlikely to have been tested over the past couple of days so would be ineligible, therefore they'll be relying on a friendly club helping them out.

They will get an experienced goalie on loan and I doubt it will affect the outcome. I think they are allowed an emergency loan in this case.

They have had two players who have tested positive. If every game was cancelled this season because of two failed tests the season will never be finished.

Agree, but the issue is the precedent set with Aberdeen and Celtic. Some acknowledgement needs to be made to that and the rules set out for future positive tests. As it stands Aberdeen (and to a lesser extent Celtic) have gained by their players breaking the rules while Hibs and St Mirren have suffered despite, as far as we know, following the guidelines.

In terms of games being on/off I think a precedent has been set today. Celtic and Aberdeen games were called off due to government involvement.

SPFL have shown that games won’t be off for one or two positive (or false positive) results. They need to be consistent in that now. They can’t decide to change their mind if Lennon or Gerrard have a few players missing when the Old Firm game comes round.

Whether the football season gets finished or not is a minor issue when set against the battle to try and keep on top of this virus and return our wider lives to some sort of normality.

I'm just looking for some sort of consistency when it comes to what happens in these sort of situations. The lack of clarity seems crazy bearing in mind we're six weeks into the season.

Get used to it.

If you can explain the rules to me I'd be grateful. So far we've had several games called off because two Aberdeen players have tested positive and because one Celtic player broke quarantine rules. We've also had a Hibs player who ultimately tested negative forced to quarantine and miss a game in which he would almost certainly have played a key role. Now we've got two St Mirren players testing positive and quarantined and a third who has been in close contact with them also ruled out of action. Yet the game goes ahead.

The football 'bubble' guff makes no sense to me. Who's to say more St Mirren players won't register positive tests over the next few days on the back of this? Meantime, Hibs will have played a fixture in a part of the country which is showing by far the highest rates of infection (and where I'd guess the majority of the St Mirren squad live) and there's a very reasonable of that infection being brought back along the M8 with them.

Comparisons with Europe don't really hold water either. They are presumably operating under different (more consistent?) protocols bearing in mind there are also limited crowds back in place. Neil Lennon's comments today about watching sports events in the USA and Europe with crowds struck me as ignorant and irresponsible and designed solely to put pressure on the authorities to allow fans back for the Old Firm game - as though that fixture was somehow more important than suppressing the continued rise in infections across the UK.

Just because we want football back to normal doesn't mean it should happen any time soon.

The football 'bubble' guff makes no sense to me. Who's to say more St Mirren players won't register positive tests over the next few days on the back of this? Meantime, Hibs will have played a fixture in a part of the country which is showing by far the highest rates of infection (and where I'd guess the majority of the St Mirren squad live) and there's a very reasonable of that infection being brought back along the M8 with them.

Comparisons with Europe don't really hold water either. They are presumably operating under different (more consistent?) protocols bearing in mind there are also limited crowds back in place. Neil Lennon's comments today about watching sports events in the USA and Europe with crowds struck me as ignorant and irresponsible and designed solely to put pressure on the authorities to allow fans back for the Old Firm game - as though that fixture was somehow more important than suppressing the continued rise in infections across the UK.

Just because we want football back to normal doesn't mean it should happen any time soon.

You know fine well that the Aberdeen games weren’t off because two players tested positive. Eight players had to isolate and rules were broken. The government stepped in and called it off. I’m not sure why you’re consistently trying compare today to that? It’s a completely different scenario. Celtic got caught up in that due to the actions of a single player. But again, it was the government stepping in to ‘give football a yellow card’ in Sturgeon’s words that caused that postponement.

The SPFL can be criticised for their lack of sanction in dealing with Celtic and Aberdeen. But not (yet) in terms of consistency in calling games off. The only games called off were down to the government, not the football authorities. I don’t think today was ever really under threat. The only reason there might have been a slight doubt was due to them missing all their goalies. But, like everywhere else, the positive players sit out and the negative ones get on with things.

If you can explain the rules to me I'd be grateful. So far we've had several games called off because two Aberdeen players have tested positive and because one Celtic player broke quarantine rules. We've also had a Hibs player who ultimately tested negative forced to quarantine and miss a game in which he would almost certainly have played a key role. Now we've got two St Mirren players testing positive and quarantined and a third who has been in close contact with them also ruled out of action. Yet the game goes ahead.

It's potentially to our benefit so I'm not overly upset but, assuming St Mirren can't get a keeper signed on loan, it's verging on the farcical that a team could be lining up with an outfield player in goals.

Goalkeeper is a specialised position, that's why there are rules in place for special dispensation to sign a keeper in certain circumstances.

This is something that I think should be considered, not just now but more generally.

There are a few European leagues that have the standard three subs, but allow for a fourth to be made if you lose your keeper. It's the only truly specialised position on a football pitch and it absolutely should be protected.

Don't get me wrong, I love the drama of an outfielder having to stick some gloves on, but from a sporting perspective it shouldn't really have to happen.

RE this match, I wonder if St Mirren will be forced into making a 4/5 month loan in order to secure their cover for these games. Pretty brutal for them if so, money they'd want to put elsewhere for sure.

Can they not just play Jamie Langfield or does he have to isolate too.

Also why do they need special treatment? The transfer window is still open. They could sign 100 goalkeepers if they wanted :confused:

If it happened early in the week then I'd agree they could sign a keeper. It's a fluid situation that has come to a head on a Friday about 24 hours before a game though. Making a signing, registering the paperwork and potentially requiring and gaining international clearance in that time frame is a trickier prospect.

And I wasn't suggesting we create a new rule to give a team special treatment. There are already rules in place around signing a goalkeeper that don't apply to outfield players , I was alluding to them to illustrate the point that there is generally an understanding that an element of special treatment is already required around the position.

At the end of the day if St Mirren play a striker in goals and we hammer 4 or 5 past them then I'm not going to complain. It sets a precedent though and we won't be happy if it happens to us, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

I’ll have a go at making things up too.

Maybe he has been left out on purpose because of the recent COVID cases in the st Mirren team.
Just a precaution you know?

Everything should be ok but what if, and all we had to do to avoid the what if, was not playing Him.

I did not say he was leaving but a player usually when in transfer talks has a sudden mysterious injury and misses a game. I would say Allan not Ross's favourite player. Not starting many games or being subbed early. Made one contribution this season, his assist. If we are bringing somebody major in, then one has to go out. The old Allan is what we need not the current one.

Scott Allan hasn’t had a great start to the season but I believe he suffered more than most during lockdown which severely restricted him in what training he could do to keep him ticking over. He’ll come good again once his fitness increases. Transfer conspiracies are pure mischief making.

The same protocols didn’t apply because in the case of Aberdeen/Celtic the government stepped in and took it out of the hands of the football authorities. The football authorities should have been harsher in their punishments but they could do little about the postponements.

I don’t get the confusion because it’s not a like for like situation. The Aberdeen/Celtic situation blew up in to front page news for days because the players disregarded all protocols. That’s not happened in St Mirren’s case and it’s been left to the SPFL to decide what to do. What would be confusing is if the same thing happens to another team next week and they decide to postpone a game as a result.

Up until then there was no Incidents recorded therefore no precedents or protocols had been set. When the aber/Celtic incidents happened the SPFL didn’t know what to do so the Government got involved by cancelling the game. The spfl/SFA were warned to set up suitable protocols for future incidents otherwise the government would take the decision for them, therefore any incidents happening now are dealt with using SPFL/SFA protocols. All incidents after aber/Celtic should now be dealt with in the same consistent manner.

TBF in this case people means one person and even then it was a half hearted attempt at wild spewculation.

I've thought about Allan and his footballing future. Where else can he go from Hibs at this stage of his career? Last season wasn't exactly reputation enhancing (it wasn't all bad either) He's had numerous failed attempts at clubs down south and he clearly isn't equipped to battle it out in league 1 or 2 down there. I don't think there's much outside interest in him. He needs to stay at Hibs, convince Ross of his worth to the side and find some form.

I'm repeating myself here.

The first minister's briefing where it was said that Aberdeen should not play St Johnstone was to reduce the risk of the virus being transmitted to another area around Perth. The SPFL agreed with the government to postpone the next 3 games.

I was always under the impression that a game can be played with 7 players, less than that you have problems, but the rules state that a game has to have a min of 7 players or over in each team to a max of 11.

He usually gets subbed as he's diabetes - always around 60 / 65 mins - When was the last time he played a full 90 mins??

He's probably missing today's game as he doesn't want to risk himself as he was high risk.

Would rather have Allan at the club than not - but the manager needs a midfield to support him - the player needs to be more involved.

Don't forget his stats last season - similar to Mallan the season before.

Bottom line is if we had energy players around both these guys (don't play them at same time together) we would be an improved team.

Because you are generally not out of game because of a knock in training. It looks like a cover for something else which is commonly used for an imminent transfer. In this case it may be because of the risk of him being infected.

Surely depends what that “knock” was?

Will Zamal have been tested? Thought teams before Premiership level weren’t required to do a test

You would assume he must have been to make the move. Mentioned on Jack Ross interview I think that lower league teams had to be tested prior to playing premier league teams assume the same with players moving.

I’m not sure what news sources you use but a lot of players miss games due to things that happen during training. I think you’re knocking on the wrong door with your original theory.

I suppose it all depends on where the knock is and how hard it was?

Top flight - ex Jambo Neil McCann decided he didn't like him so rather than play a quality keeper who gave them the best chance for them to stay up, he ended up festering out of the team. Bizarre Jambo behaviour.

If a player is in the middle of a transfer it is common for the player not be played with the selling club and the excuse used he took a knock in training. As for the reference to Nisbet he missed two games so more than a mere knock and of course Hibs would not be selling a young new investment. As I said unlikely Allan is go to go given his wages and current form. More likely because of his medical condition and the risk of Covid 19 infection. Yes he may be indeed be injured but from JR's body language that did not look to be the case. We will see next week that he will likely be back in the squad for the Rangers game.

No read them but JR says he’s injured so that’ll do for me until something is confirmed. Tbh he’s been off pace of late and not his usual standards so maybe a wee change might help the team.
