Games called off - Ross County & Livi now postponed

[Allant1981]

As it says, due to covid

[LustForLeith]

At least we never got beat

[Northernhibee]

Hope those affected in squad are OK.

[Diclonius]

Another week with no points. ****ing disgrace. Jack Ross out.

Seriously though, hope all concerned are ok.

[JimBHibees]

Is it Hibs

[Unseen work]

Surprised it got called off when Aberdeen and Celtic were forced to play, suppose it depends how many were in close contact and what the rules are.

Also find it weird we would just know the results at 12 on the Saturday of a game.

Regardless, hope whoever is effected is ok.

[Bishop Hibee]

Rotten for the fans on their way. All we need but inevitable in the current climate with Covid still rife.

[Bishop Hibee]

Is it Hibs

Yes https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/article/club-statement-ross-county-a

[Rumble de Thump]

Will this mean we forfeit the points or will the game be replayed?

Edit: The SPFL said it has been postponed. Hopefully Doidge will be back for it :wink:

Probably not possible for us to field a team because of travelling time.

[Hiber-nation]

Is it Hibs

Has to be going by the way the article was worded.

[Diclonius]

Does this mean the Livingston game next week will be off too?

[jws1875]

Definitely hibs. Heard this morning it was 3 first team players and 1 coaching staff but article says different.

[oconnors_strip]

I wonder if the effected players will isolate where they were staying last night or are allowed to potentially spread it by travelling home?

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Does this mean the Livingston game next week will be off too?

Depends when they started isolating I guess. If Wednesday then it’ll be on. If today, it’ll be ten from now.

Hopefully their symptoms are minimal though. My wife had it last month, she’s a keen runner and relatively fit. She’s been unable to run more than 200m without being shattered.

Bugger for folk already travelling

[hibee62]

Anybody who tested positive will be out of that game, unless they started showing symptoms a few days ago but that seems unlikely.

Anyone who is a close contact will be available once they return a negative test, unless they test positive/show symptoms, assuming football is going by the government rules.

In isolation I’d be saying we have to forfeit the game, but the accepted course of action last season was to replay the game so that’s surely what should happen unless new guidelines were agreed over the summer?

[Libby Hibby]

Does this mean the AST can now purchase their semi final tickets?

Only kidding, hope all concerned are ok.

[Bristolhibby]

What’s the protocol? Im surprised why I don’t know this. Especially as we’ve been at this for going on two years.

3-0 win to RC or is it game rearranged.

Also, this could mean no games for two weeks if everyone is positive.

[B.H.F.C]

How can they only figure out that it needed to be called off at this time of day. We were up near Aviemore when we found out. ****ing ridiculous.

As a matter of interest why would you find it weird?

[1875Sean]

If the close contacts had there vaccine and get another negative test then they will be fine, would only be the 2 missing positive players so I would imagine it will be on

Think it’s only a forfeit if in the league cup.

[HH81]

Hibs should have all these results back and in place by 9am especially considering fans are travelling hours to get to the game.

[LancashireHibby]

You’d have thought they’d have been testing earlier in the week. Unlikely they’d have suddenly picked it up last night.

The rules do seem a little archaic to me too. Rules for games down here are that close contacts are irrelevant now I think so the game would have still gone ahead.

[Allant1981]

Hibs need to come out and be very specific on what they’ve done here and why it’s only come out at such a late hour.

Loads of people have invested a lot of time and money in to travelling to this.

Got the whole season to rearrange the fixture, only a 3-0 in cups when the tournament needs to move on.

Is there a rule that they need to test on the day of the game though?

Or have we just decided to.

Offt, of all the weekends for 6 of us to book to go to see Salford City, this happens. Gutted for any fans on route.

There is daily testing-how do you think they've managed to keep on top of it so long?

[hibee62]

Would also depend if it is PCRs or LFDs, a PCR takes a number of hours to process and has to be transported to a lab to do so. If it’s a PCR they were probably tested yesterday at the latest. If it’s LFDs then it does seem a little odd to do it so late, but that could be the regulations: rapid tests as close to kick off as possible/on game day?

I’m not blaming the club. I’d like to know why testing only happens on the morning of the game though. And if that’s our decision or not.

I thought they were! Players tested positive which resulted in the game being off. If they were only tested this morning, which seems to be the consensus in previous posts, then I don't think they can pre-empt the results.

I would also imagine they may well have stayed overnight, which would have made cobbling a further squad together virtually impossible. It's a crap situation, but covid is still here and this is part of our lives!

[Northernhibee]

I’m not blaming the club. I’d like to know why testing only happens on the morning of the game though. And if that’s our decision or not.

From what I think I know, testing is regular but I think a test must be taken on the morning of a game. I’m happy to be corrected on that.

If we travelled up the night before and nobody had tested positive midweek then we’re not in breach of protocol with our two coaches. However because of this, if the tests come through this morning with a different result then it’s likely that other players would count as close contacts and it’s unlikely we could get youth players up in time to bridge the gaps in the team.

[ancient hibee]

Who are you blaming then if it's ridiculous? Sample testing is done every day.

[007]

This happened last year when Ross County were on the way to ER for a preseason bounce game. They'll be extremely pee'd off at Hibs for it happening again.

[Magpie]

Not ideal going up there midweek between fixtures over the winter period.

[Sean1875]

Why would they be? What could Hibs have done differently? It’s very unfortunate, but Hibs aren’t at fault here.

Terrible news for the fans travelling. Hibs should refund their ticket purchase costs as a goodwill gesture.

[lord bunberry]

If the close contacts are vaccinated they can return after a negative test, if they’re unvaccinated does that still apply or do they have to isolate for 10 days?

[Frazerbob]

They have come out and said that the testing was this morning as normal. Why are so many supporters ready to blame the club?

Because Hibs fans love to slag the club and don’t know the meaning if the word ‘supporter’.

They can be pee’d off all they want, it’s out with hibs’ control.

I’m expressing my frustration because I’m a hundred odd miles up the road and out of pocket. The protocols are a joke. They say they’re following protocol, doesn’t say whether it’s their own or the leagues though.

[Centre Hawf]

From Hibs Twitter -
“The team travelled yesterday and have been testing every day as a protocol.

It was only after this morning’s testing that positive tests were returned, with the squad already north as we prepared for the game.

Safe travels to the Hibees currently heading back down the road“

[scoopyboy]

unvaccinated have to isolate for 10 days still

[Stuart93]

But why does that matter even if it was hibs’ protocol and not the leagues? It would’ve meant players playing today who were positive if we hadn’t tested this morning

I would’ve thought communication would’ve came out before now though

[lord bunberry]

Let’s hope they’re vaccinated then or we’ll be playing the laddies against Livingston.

[B.H.F.C]

Aye good one that when I was sitting away up the A9 when I found out. None of my posts actually blamed Hibs either, simply stated that it’s a ridiculous situation to only find out at that point of the day.

Not the clubs fault here - folk are catching this all over the place. Shame for those that had started travelling but it’s just the chance you take in the world of covid.

The way I read the statement is that they have tested both days in relation to this trip. I’d highly doubt the players/staff test every single day.

Gutted for everyone who has travelled, I've been caught out by late callouts several times after travelling a fair distance. Although I took it as a plus in that my day out to the pub wasn't interrupted and ruined by the fitba. :greengrin

Makes if three players and a coach. Funny thing was kev and Matt spent time getting photos taken with kids in the FFL ON wednesday. But then again outside in contact for a short period of time

It's difficult to blame Hibs for this, they seem to have given notification pretty promptly, but of course I totally sympathize with supporters who are on ther way there and just finding out.

Hope everyone involved is ok. We could effectively be down to 8th tonight.

[Power]

The club made sure we were informed as soon as possible of the postponement. We apologise for any inconvenience caused for those travelling. Thanks for understanding.

The club has been testing every day and not until today two first team players have tested positive this morning. Those two have been in close contact to a number of other players in the squad that travelled to Dingwall. We have taken all precautions, however in-line with SPFL regulations and guidance, we have no other alternative than to postpone the fixture due to the number of players out.

We will contact supporters who have tickets for the match at Ross County in due course.

Have they always been testing every day Kieran, or just on the back of this outbreak?

We’ve done quite well with it so it’s fairly bloody typical it would occur when we’re up there.

[nelson10.]

Gogic and hanlon apparently

[Moulin Yarns]

There is no point speculating on who it is. The club statement says that they won't name the players.

Best tactic Ross has employed since hes been here... fakes a few covid tests and give the squad a chance to get some players back 🤪🤪🤪🤣

Black Isle Brewery have an excellent bar in Inverness if anyone is making a day of it.

Can't really see what Hibs have done wrong here. ***** for the fans who have travelled of course but had there been a torrential downpour or a power cut at the ground they would be in the same situation.

Hopefully the players who are close contacts are vaccinated and go on to test negative. If they have to isolate for 10 days then we will be down to the bare bones.

[Tully]

Just home thank goodness we heard at dalwhinnie, these things happen

[Carheenlea]

Scott Allan contracting Covid would be a real concern given hie lives with Diabetes.

[GreenCastle]

Has it been confirmed Allan missed game on Wednesday due to a positive test ?

Would imagine since then Hibs were maybe worried this could happen for today’s game.

An already depleted squad will be interesting to see how we line up against Livi next week.

Scott Allan contracting Covid would be a real concern given hie lives with Diabetes.

And his heart issue. Best wishes to whoever has tested positive

I wouldn’t go as far to say Hibs did anything wrong but I would ask what consideration they had put into the timing of the COVID test results, the exchanges they would have to have with RC and SPFL and finally a cancellation message. These are the things you consider when you realise that the answer might not be everything is okay.

We know that there was an occasion at the start of last season where RC were at Perth when a friendly was called off because of late timing of Hibs results.

By timings, we picked up the Tweet at ten to 12 just short of Drumochter which feels like 60-90 minutes later than would be expected.

This is absolutely shocking news, and just hope that the players are going to be fine after getting over what is a horrible virus.
As for Hibernian Football Club being unable to control a pandemic, shocking and I blame Petrie.
As for the club being unable to release the full details of the private information on players, so they can satisfy the nosey gossip type washer women who would wish to spraff pisch about this all day, well that is just not on this is 2021.
This may just give us a wee chance to regroup more and perhaps have a shot at the 3 points when it does come around again.

Free bus to the rearranged fixture perhaps.

[Pretty Boy]

Is it really that big a deal IF a few players in the squad were playing poker last night?

If we are in a hotel before the game are they not allowed to socialise? Would it be more productive to lock them in their rooms at half 7?

They’ll need to offer refunds for tickets for the match and I’m sure they will.

I doubt if refunds will be down to Hibs anyway since ticket money goes to the home club.

This covid pish has gone on so long I’ve got no idea what is and isn’t allowed any more.

Given we can pretty much do anything we want (within reason) these days, I’d be surprised if a game of poker was an outrageous action.

They would be hard pushed to play poker without arms and legs mind.

Does anyone ever name their sources on here? Including on the transfer threads? Probably don't cause what they've been told is in good faith.

...or in this case bad faith.

Will that not be down to Ross County?

It’s pretty standard practise that if someone can’t make a rescheduled date for an event that they will be refunded the full cost of their ticket.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Jesus, the guys only passing on what he's been told? Could be right, could be wrong but doesn't deserve the reaction it's received in my opinion.

It's because we don't have a result or any player performances to have the Saturday night fight over.

[IWasThere2016]

Offt, of all the weekends for 6 of us to book to go to see Salford City, this happens. Gutted for any fans on route.

I was there. Decent game. Thought Shepherd (SC) and Carpice (EC) - looked decent. Latter is ex-St Midden.

Some way to lose a game though 😳

[Jonnyboy]

We got as far as Ralia before we heard the game was off. Reaction? Disappointed but just turned around and headed back down the road, deciding to take in the Raith v Ayr game which was good entertainment. Tait had a great first half but Rovers were under the cosh for most of the second.

I think that’s probably fair enough as it would have had to go through the SPFL and all that. Testing today was obviously something that Hibs decided to do (and we’re probably right in the circumstances). Think the testing today was obviously in response to outbreak earlier in the week and wouldn’t be normal protocol though.

I might be wrong, but I don’t think that’s the case.

Looked to me like Hibs were taking extra steps testing every day after being impacted (Allan missing due to being ill during the week and John Porter wasn’t there either). I’d be very surprised if it was normal to test every day though.

Living in the fleshpits of pitlochry I think that Dingwall has nothing going for it. Stayed there for a night in 2019 on a business trip. The mallard served decent food and drink but it was spoiled by a rowdy group of beaters who sang 'party songs' more usually heard at Ibrox.

Hibs have said everything they need to say in the statement, I'm not sure what else you expect.

Gutted for everyone who has travelled, I've been caught out by late callouts several times after travelling a fair distance. Although I took it as a plus in that my day out to the pub wasn't interrupted and ruined by the fitba. :greengrin

My attitude exactly


Covid is just a straight pain in the butt, enough to give you the runs and a flush face.


Unless, of course, it leaves you gasping for breath, on a ventilator, or dead.

Edited highlights:

- was at the other end so couldn’t say for sure but looked as if Macey was a bit slow going down for County’s sixth goal

- not one of Hanlon’s better days

- Porto perhaps a little unfortunate to be sent off, but really has to screw the nut

- Newell passed forward in the 79th minute

- his brother said it looked like Nisbet broke into a half-sprint at one point, but he may just have lost his footing

- Wright had too little time to make an impact, apart from his pass direct to the opposition which led to County’s ninth goal

[SteveHFC]

HIBS had to call off their clash with Ross County after losing HALF of their squad and staff to Covid.

Jack Ross and his players travelled up to Dingwall yesterday on two buses, as per JRG regulations.


But when the group reported for lateral flow tests at their Highland base at 10am, two produced positive results.


And when it then emerged the pair had travelled up together the rest of those on their coach, which included players and coaches, were identified as close contacts, ruling them all out.


Boss Ross was also unable to call on the club’s under-18s, who played Hamilton on Friday night, with rules forbidding them playing two games inside 24 hours.


And at 11am Hibs had to regrettably inform the SPFL they did not have enough players to take on the Staggies.


A club statement said: “Two first team players have tested positive in the latest round of testing this morning. They have been in close contact to a number of other players in the squad that travelled to Dingwall.


“We have taken all appropriate precautions including transporting the squad on two coaches, however in-line with SPFL regulations and guidance, we have no other alternative than to postpone the fixture due to the number of players affected making us unable to field a team.

SunSport understands the Easter Road club, who had been testing every day in the lead up to the trip north, made special precautions to get those affected back down to Edinburgh today.

But there is an understandable concern that more players could test positive in the coming days.


And it remains to be seen how that will affect Ross’ squad in the build-up to next weekend’s league match with Livingston.


Both players are asymptomatic and those self-isolating will be able to return if they are double vaccinated and return a negative PCR test.

So the close contacts can only avoid isolating if they’re vaccinated. The team could be decimated next week.

[Sir David Gray]

Yes close contacts of a positive case will need to isolate for 10 days unless they're fully vaccinated and produce a negative PCR test.

There’s been quite a few reports regarding football players not been keen to get vaccinated, hopefully our players are a bit more sensible. I’d be pretty annoyed if we end up with half a team sitting at home with nothing wrong with them while we struggle to field a competitive team against Livingston. We could get by without Hanlon and Gogic, but if there’s another 5 or 6 then we’d be in big trouble.

[JimBHibees]

If it's in line with the national figures then the majority absolutely will be although more than 30% won't be which might be enough to cause major disruption.

Yep potentially we could be really short if some the players are not vaccinated and deemed close contacts. You would think the club would know and act accordingly when travelling.if that was the case. As you say alot of discussion particularly down south about players not getting vaccinated especially in the EPL also think it was reported 3 or 4 of England squad hadn't been vaccinated The case of Karl Darlow the Newcastle keeper who got very ill you would have thought would have been a wake up call. Wonder if there are any teams refusing to play players not vaccinated.

[18Craig75]

I think Ross said recently as a club they tried to give all the info possible on vaccines but ultimately it’s down to personal choice, but only a couple in the squad hadn’t had theirs.

That good to hear.

[wookie70]

Probably the best weekend for results we have had in a good while. The teams above and around us all beaten and we don't have to play a game when we are out of form. Only Aberdeen creeping up to our points was a negative but that came with a huge plus and also proved you can climb this league very quickly with a decent run of results. Of course we now have to win the game in hand but if we do our horrific spell will only see Hearts gaining 3 points on us and we will still be well in the race for 3rd

[lord bunberry]

Why would they arrange a game for Wednesday when we are likely to be dealing with a covid outbreak in the squad? Are they trying to punish us for having an outbreak of a deadly disease during a global pandemic? There will potentially be more players testing positive and there may end up being players testing positive after Wednesday night potentially putting Ross County players and staff at risk. This has got to be a new low from the idiots running our game.

Talks between our CEO Ben Kensell and the SPFL have been ongoing for over 24 hours, with our stance being to not play the fixture on Wednesday.

Right now hibs can’t possibly know how many players are likely to end up testing positive, but the spfl are insisting that they all go into training then return to their families so they can play a game on Wednesday, it’s stupidity of the highest order. The whole training centre should be closed down and deep cleaned and the players and staff should be kept away until Wednesday at the earliest.

Typical spfl. I suppose in fairness the game has to be played shortly as we've got international breaks all over the place. Doesn't actually feel like the season has started because of all these breaks.

A game that involves this much travelling for fans should never be rearranged for 4 days later when people travelled up at least a fair chunk of the way on Saturday. County’s support isn’t made up of many people who are local to Dingwall either so will probably be a very low crowd on Wednesday.
