Games called off - Ross County & Livi now postponed

[007]

I suspect it won’t happen, but we should come out with a really strong statement indicating our anger and why we think this is a ridiculous decision. We need to stop weakly accepting these decisions, the Celtic game was bad enough.

"We realise this is not ideal at all for our supporters, and for the team due to the positive tests, we have voiced our concerns and made our thoughts clear to the SPFL, but unfortunately this was to no avail."

I think that was it.

[Hibees1973]

So the SPFL allowed the game to be cancelled when Hibs had 2 confirmed covid cases, then order the game to go ahead 4 days later when I have heard we now have at least 10 confirmed positive cases in the squad/backroom staff. It is likely we will have more confirmed cases in the following days.

Hibs, as well as other clubs will be doing their best, but the covid infection rate is higher now than it has ever been in the last 18 months.

I must admit the covid rules are a joke. My daughter is at uni and they are not allowing any more than 15 people in a lecture hall - tonight the uni are allowing 750 people to congregate indoors for a halloween function. :aok:

I can't make any sense of it all.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of our younger players on Wednesday. I've seen them a fair amount of times and to be honest I would rather to pay to see them rather than some of the clowns we have, such at Gogic.

[lord bunberry]

How dignified of you. Take a dig at my post and then walk away claiming you don't want to sidetrack the thread, stay classy.

See you next time, inevitably when you chase me down on another thread.
Look forward to it.

[Sir David Gray]

Fair enough, I don’t want to sidetrack the thread so I’ll leave it there.

Possibly, I think that used to be the case not sure if that's still the rule.

[wookie70]

Ridiculous decision. I drove all the way there on Saturday. Must have cost the best part of 40 quid on fuel and then a few stops for food. Regardless of Covid the authorities really need to think about the expense to fans, time to arrange time of work and just the effort of travelling so far twice in a week. Fans simply don't matter in Scottish football which is bizarre given we are the only thing keeping it going

[lord bunberry]

"We realise this is not ideal at all for our supporters, and for the team due to the positive tests, we have voiced our concerns and made our thoughts clear to the SPFL, but unfortunately this was to no avail."

I think that was it.
It’s not enough imo.

[lord bunberry]

Possibly, I think that used to be the case not sure if that's still the rule.
That makes it even worse, there’s no way I can make it up there for a midweek game and we won’t even be allowed to watch it online.

[MWHIBBIES]

It’s not enough imo.

What more do you expect?

[lord bunberry]

What more do you expect?
A statement saying it’s a disgrace that a club going through an outbreak of an infectious disease is being forced to put the lives of its players and staff at risk to play a game that could be played at a later date. The Celtic game should be mentioned as well.

[Jones28]

Mental decision.

So if the close contacts get negative PCR tests back and they’re double vaxxed can they play?

[Billy Whizz]

Wonder how we choose who travels on the 2 buses the squad travel to games
Goalie in each bus, defender in each bus, striker in each bus, or is this just too simple

[KanyeWestLower]

Is it pay at the gate? Couldn’t make Saturday so don’t have a ticket

Think some fans bought direct from County, so will probably be the same option for Wednesday available

[007]

Did we not refuse to play Aberdeen on a Friday night at Pittodrie or am I mistaken ?

Cormack wanted to move the kick off back a few hours on a Saturday from 3pm to 6pm or 7pm and gave a crap reason for it. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/donsnews/aberdeen-want-to-trial-saturday-evening-premiership-game-against-hibs-with-kick-off-potentially-after-7pm/

I read on Twitter at the time an Aberdeen fan saying it had been mentioned at a meeting (maybe their AGM) that Cormack was talking about having matches broadcast in the US, some sort of tie-in with Atlanta, I reckon that was the real reason he wanted the kick off put back.

Yeah but any not fully vaccinated close contacts are in isolation for 10 days.

[hibbyfraelibby]

...and come back covid ridden, breaking the rules taking an injured player who then tested positive. Joke

The players union should take up the issue as a breach of Health and Safety duty of care the SPFL have.

I think that’s why their game against Dundee a few weeks ago was moved, for a US audience.

[Dashing Bob S]

Is it Hibs

Yes the whole team has had severe covid for a few weeks. It explains the performances.

I see Ross County have a rep. on the management board . He’s sure to have been bending ears to get the game on ASAP. After their first win.

I know we’ve got Ron Johnston on the board as well, be he won’t have the contacts or know the politics of that lot .

I hope Dundee only agreed to it if they got half of the US tv money.

That Cormack's a sly bassa trying to make out the move for our game against them was so fans who play football on a Saturday could go.

Ross County are a fantastic example of a genuine community club. Looks like they are pretty good at football politics as well. I’m not really surprised at this decision. We just need to get on with it, we shouldn’t be scared of Ross County away under any circumstances.

We should refuse to travel and play. God knows what kind of team we can put out nevermind not many supporters going to travel on a Wednesday evening.

Typical SPFL nonsense decision that flies in the face of common sense.

[Col2]

SPFL final decision but Ross County as home team would have influenced this heavily (remember when Celtic decided to move a game we had against them in Glasgow and we didn’t have a leg to stand on).

No thought for the fans and zero thought for the club/players by RC.

I hope this galvanizes is and we go up to Dingwall and hammer them.👍

Could we not stick 2 fingers up to the authorities and take the 3pt loss.

I think we would also face a fine.

Definitely not. This has the potential to be quite damaging for us if we’re looking at playing the kids in our next couple of games. There’s also every chance that some players take a bit longer to get over it than others and we’ve not exactly coped well when missing a few as it is.

Who are the players that have already had Covid, Nisbet and Doyle-Hayes? I've wondered if they've been suffering from slight after effects.

[J-C]

Better to play it and then win it.


I was joking of course :greengrin Should've put a smiley at the end.

Makes no sense at all. Astounding decision given we have players ill and the clear possibility of more in the next few days. Sounds like the league trying to punish us for some reason. We should kick up big time imo.

Has got Mackays grubby hands all over this decision imo.

It's a bit of a worry. As B.H.F.C. said some will take longer to get over it than others. Even if they've been asymptomatic their recovery/return might still be affected, as has happened with some U.S. sportsmen.

Smacks of the time when the club questioned Craig Thomson being assigned the 2012 Cup Final and being invited through to Glasgow to discuss the matter only for the decision to be public when they beaks knew the Hibs officials were on route. Snides.

Vaguely remember that Thomson one thanks for reminding me that is incredible and the subsequent events of the day shouldn't really have been a surprise. I think we all knew that Thomson had it in for us however I remember that season where we were fighting to avoid relegation that he ridiculously booked Griffiths which just happened to rule him out of a vital final game with Dunfermline. Corrupt as anything him.

[GreenCastle]

Anyone know what the players have been doing since the game was off?

Surely Hibs could have similar issues as the weekend if they test morning of the game ?

Won’t be cheap either for more buses and over night stay - unless they go up on the same day and play.

[number9dream]

So who will be available? Only players who have been double vaccinated and returned a negative test - and those that did not travel on Saturday?

[Sir David Gray]

I may be wrong but the way I've read Hibs' statement is that the close contacts will be those who travelled up on the same bus as the two players who initially tested positive. They'll all need to isolate for 10 days unless they're fully vaccinated and return a negative result.

I think everyone on the other bus will be fine unless that's where the other positive tests have now come from, although I could be wrong.

I had a look earlier. Only Skybet currently offering markets and surprisingly they've pretty much replicated the original prices from the weekend. Ross County 2/1 to win the game. Hibs 5/6.

Value for me looks like Ross County to score 2+ goals at 7/4. Surely won't last.

Appreciate some people aren't keen to bet against Hibs. Never bothers me as I view it as a bit of a win/win.

It’s almost as if the SPFL feel we need to be punished for some of our staff contracting a contagious virus. It’s like they’ve pushed for the fixture to be fulfilled this early, to the detriment of us while we have a depleted squad, and indeed our fans. Racist Malky Mackay calling in favours.

His Facebook does though 😉

Sure you can guess.

[Northernhibee]

If someone has been staying in a hotel and other guests who happen to be reasonably high profile are breaking rules and risking the spread to others, then if true it’s a newsworthy story.

Hopefully it’s not true but if this was Hearts or Aberdeen players the tone on here would be very different

As I say hopefully not true but similarly hounding the guy isn’t a good look for us either until the story is proven true or false.

If the couple of Hibs reps not wearing masks have exemptions then its not even remotely newsworthy. It's a terrible look for Brian Trueman whatever the outcome is.

[007]

He acknowledged most were but 3 and a member of staff weren't. They could easily have forgotten on the occasion the guy saw them. It's very easy to do if you're sitting down at reception or the bar you don't need to and then you get up to go to your room you've to put a mask on. I bet most people have forgetten at one time or another to put one on, even if just briefly.

[CMurdoch]

He's gone to the Daily Record himself without waiting for official word from Hibs. Do you think he would have reported his beloved Rangers in the same circumstances?

Whether its right or not, the pile on is inevitable.

If it was Rangers players involved and a Hibs supporter was staying in the hotel you could easily have the same situation.
We saw it when some Hibs supporting idiots got themselves involved when Hearts were fighting for their lives.

[green day]

He acknowledged most were but 3 and a member of staff weren't. They could easily have forgotten on the occasion the guy saw them. It's very easy to do if you're sitting down at reception or the bar you don't need to and then you get up to go to your room you've to put a mask on. I bet most people have forgetten at one time or another to put one on, even if just briefly.


Exactly - total non story.

The other week I wandered halfway round Sainsburys doing the shopping without a mask til I remembered - so what? People make mistakes.

Imagine contacting the Record about this, what a complete minter................

[Stuart93]

It’s about time hibs were banning the daily record/the sun. Get them to ****.

[cabbageandribs1875]

The guy was staying in the hotel with his wife and he alleges some Hibs players were walking about the hotel not wearing masks contrary to signage at the hotel.
Subsequent to that he learns some of the players have covid and does his nut because he perceives the Hibs players not keeping to the rules put other guests at risk.
Don't know how much of a numpty the guy is but our players need to do the right thing and in my opinion that includes being vaccinated.


exactly, rather than be angry at some hun fud we should be more angry that some of our players think they can ignore rules, if of course that's the case, if it's not then name and shame the bitter hun :greengrin

[LaMotta]

Is it likely that professional footballers are going to have exemptions from mask wearing?

Everyone of us is exempt from wearing masks under certain circumstances. For example if you are walking through a hotel drinking a bottle of water or eating from a bag of pom bears then you are exempt.

[degenerated]

He's already been outed on Twitter as a Hun ( with people finding him on Facebook) , how surprising! Easy to find the company he works for as well.

I suspect he will considerably regret his Lee Wallace style grassing episode as the day unfolds.This is all the evidence I need :greengrin25253

That is the issue.
You and I forget to put our mask on in Sainsburys and the worst that will happen is folk might tut or think we are an idiot.
People in the public eye on the other hand end up in the tabloid press or folk slate them on social media.
Try going round the same Sainsburys store with an Andy Halliday mask on and someone would be bumping their gums about it on here with others piling on.

The guy's overeagerness to see Hibs get slagged off by the tabloids and punished by the football authorities means he, unfortunately, lacks credibility. The fact he's a Sevco fans suggests why he's so eager.

I'm amazed he didn't try and sneak into Ryan Porteous's room in the middle of the night to try and catch him without a mask on. They have an unhealthy obsession with him.

[Heisenberg]

Five positive covid tests according to the EEN and another five out due to injury. These next two games will be fun and doesn’t bode well for the remainder of the year given how long it can take for players to get back up to speed after having the virus.

I don’t think it’s that ridiculous to make us play with five missing because of Covid. When we’re trying to contain an outbreak which probably hasn’t been helped by sitting on buses travelling 200 miles together, I think it’s ridiculous to make us do that again a few days later though.

Setting aside the concerning medical issue I can see it from a Ross Co point of view.
Bottom of the league and off the back of a big win they get a go at us when we are down.
Also hunners of pies from Saturday to sell before they go off!

However, given we don't know if the outbreak is contained it seems madness to herd the rest onto buses.

If someone has been staying in a hotel and other guests who happen to be reasonably high profile are breaking rules and risking the spread to others, then if true it’s a newsworthy story.

Hopefully it’s not true but if this was Hearts or Aberdeen players the tone on here would be very different

As I say hopefully not true but similarly hounding the guy isn’t a good look for us either until the story is proven true or false.

:agree:

He's, presumably, following the rules whilst away with his wife and watching high profile footballers not follow the rules then subsequently find out there's an outbreak within the squad.

It would have been reported regardless of what squad were breaking the rules and who the witness supported. It's only an issue, on here, because it's Hibs (and additionally so because it's a rangers fan).

Assuming the whole thing wasn't made up of course, but that seems unlikely.

While I am not sure I would do what he did if he subsequently found out a group had Covid and potentially infecting guests he had every right to be annoyed about if said group weren't following proper protocol.

[Jim44]

We can moan and greet all we want but the fact of the matter is that COVID has depleted our squad and the SFA has ruled that the game goes ahead on Wednesday. We will also be severely affected in the game at the weekend and possibly even beyond that. How these games will pan out is anyone’s guess but it’s fair to assume that our (diminishing) progress in the league will probably falter even further. It might be that we have to write the season off in terms of a top four finish, regroup and consolidate a safe mid-table position.

I wouldn't even contemplate doing what he did. I would probably come on here and have a wee moan about it but you have to be a bit of a dick to report the matter to the authorities.

Can't believe there are no photos of the culprits these days. There is no proof apart from the word of one guest. Nothing from the staff, nothing from other guests. Suspect the hun just made it up.

I'm sure the 11 that line up for us on Wednesday can be good enough to win up there. Don't want to hear the usual sh*te from Ross about fine margins and all that cr*p he normally comes up with.

Well spotted, Sherlock. Just saying that this COVID situation could escalate ( in fact it has ) and could be problematic for weeks.

I get that, but we’re currently 6 points behind 3rd place with a game in hand after playing 11 games and you’re suggesting us having to write off the rest of the reason and settle for a mid table finish because of a bit of a Covid outbreak, tad dramatic.

Looking ahead this is just not just a problem for Wednesday ,it will also affect the team for Livingstone game on Saturday which as they have been better recently will not be easy .So heres a question. Would you basically give up Wednesday treating it as an experience for the youngsters and preserve/protect as many of the more senior players for Saturday .A fear would be to put out the strongest team on Wednesday and even more cases or injuries weaken us even more for Saturday.? So do you concentrate the best resources to get 1 result or spread them over 2 games and have less chance in both games to get points.

Sorry, but I really think some of the posts on here should stop playing the victim card.

I've not heard of many covid outbreaks in football team squads as bad as the one in the Hibs squad just now. If reports are correct that as many as 10 staff, including players have got covid, then it is clear there have been some serious breaches by people at Hibs.

I think Hibs have gone about this as quietly as possible. Objecting to the game being played, but now apparently just getting on with it.

I've read on here people complaining about us missing players such as Porteous and Newell, for example. Some of these players have been getting pelters on here over the last couple of weeks. Some even have specific threads titled against them.

There must be serious questions being asked within Hibs how this managed to occur, but none of us on here will ever know what is really going on.

Time now is to look forward to the game on Wednesday and look forward to seeing our younger players.

What are you on about? Who’s playing the victim card?

[Smartie]

Sorry, but I really think some of the posts on here should stop playing the victim card.

I've not heard of many covid outbreaks in football team squads as bad as the one in the Hibs squad just now. If reports are correct that as many as 10 staff, including players have got covid, then it is clear there have been some serious breaches by people at Hibs.

The problem is though - there are less restrictions now than ever. It’s not like a year and a bit ago when we were only allowed to leave the house for food or exercise.

We can go to the pub, go to nightclubs, and we’re entrusted with obeying pretty lax rules.

Hibs players can catch covid at home by kissing their own kid who has been slobbering all over other bairns all day at a nursery. If that player shares a car to training with another then it could take hold without anyone really doing anything wrong.

I’ll happily slaughter the club if they are found to have been negligent. As regards covid, I think Hibs’ standards have been pretty exemplary throughout the crisis.

It sounds to me like we’ve hit a bit of really bad luck (after what might be said to have been 18 months of pretty good luck compared to other clubs) and the protestations of a seething, purple faced hun who saw as many as 3 players not wearing masks and fancies his own 15 minutes of infamy ain’t going to be enough to make me change my mind on that.

Our covid restrictions have obviously been good, considering how few cases we’ve had since the start of it

[Mikey_1875]

Going to be a tough week but looking forward to some of the young guys getting their opportunity and hopefully taking it.

Although beggars can’t be choosers I really hope JR sticks to his guns regarding James Scott and he isn’t anywhere near the team. Much rather have someone who is hungry in the youth team given a chance than someone who wasn’t fit enough last week.

There are plenty examples of teams being decimated. Only need to look as far as the team we’re playing tomorrow. We played Celtic minus about 14. It happens.

Folk should certainly stop attacking folk like Roy McGregor, Malky Mackay and Hotel man. Our predicament has nothing to do with them.
As for attacking Hibs or our players. Makes no sense as we don't know the facts.

So what do we know?

We know Saturdays game had to be postponed due to covid infections in the Hibs camp.
We know this is is 1st time Hibs have had to cancel a match due to covid in the 18 months of the pandemic. From that we know the club have good protocols in place and the players have complied with them.

Do we know which Hibs players have covid? No
Do we know if all Hibs players are vaccinated? No
We know it is reported in the media that 5 or 6 Hibs players have covid
Do we know if the media are guessing? No but probably. As we do, they fill in the knowledge blanks with educated guesses.

We know Hibs have to play the match on Wednesday night.
We know Hibs will put together the best team they can.
We know the players selected will do their best.

In conclusion neither the media nor the supporters know very much so no point in us criticising anyone until that changes.

[Jim44]

I get that, but we’re currently 6 points behind 3rd place with a game in hand after playing 11 games and you’re suggesting us having to write off the rest of the reason and settle for a mid table finish because of a bit of a Covid outbreak, tad dramatic.

Firstly, I hope you are right. Maybe ‘write off’ and ‘settle for mid-table’ is dramatic for some but I think the present difficulties might cause some folk to realistically lower expectations.

Of course it is!

Appears some serious questions need to be asked about how Hibs could possibly have let a global virus that has been known to have infected over a quarter of a billion people worldwide to ever to have been allowed to dare to infect our squad.

I mean it’s just ridiculous on the clubs part to have knowingly allowed this to happen.

It's not just the lost gate receipts, it's the costs of putting the game on in the first place. RC have lost out here, through no fault of their own.

Agreed, Ross County haven't done anything wrong and have suffered financially. If Hibs players have broken protocols and been caught then it will be difficult to defend our position. It has to be looked through the wider lens though. Social distancing and actually preventing the spread of the virus through non vaccine methods are pretty much gone. Teams and players will get the virus and Hibs have done a great job in completing all our games up to this point

That's what a pandemic does though - it takes things away from you without it necessarily being your own fault, from a few quid right through to your life.

If they can prove that their loss has been caused by anything Hibs have done negligently then they should be adequately recompensed in an appropriate way.

If it's "just one of things that happens during a pandemic" (as it might well be) then tough. I have sympathy for them, as I have sympathy for the Hibs fans who made the journey but ultimately these things happen. Society was a bit better when we didn't always have to find someone blame for unfortunate situations we find ourselves in.

The Hibs fans who travelled to the game moaned a bit, found other things to do on Saturday and moved on. Ross County need to do the same.

Is your source in the know?
Suspect all players and club officials are strictly instructed to tell no one what is going on.
However, logic would suggest that the original bus journey would have caused a spread to other players.
Hopefully the positive cases were on the same bus which will leave those travelling in the other relatively free of risk.

Things always get leaked. Players talk, tell their wives partners etc who then have to tell their close contacts. Impossible to keep it quiet. If test and trace phone you can't not tell them about who you've been in contact with.

We need a squad of 13 to play a match with 10 of them being over 18 (thats according to Sportsound last night), we must be on the cusp of that at the moment, another positive test will mean another call off. There was no agreement about forfeiting league games due to Covid, only cup games. We could essentially have tomorrows and saturdays games postponed but I think that will come down to who is double vaxed (no quarantine after negative test) or not (10 days quarantine). Interesting few days ahead. I wouldn't mind a postponement as I couldn't get tomorrow afternoon off.
