Stolen from an Aberdeen fans forum, not sure if this is genuine or not?

What does it say? I can only read parts of it.

Aberdeen fans seem to think the St J is cancelled and the game against Hamilton is in doubt? Not sure how they shoe-horn these fixtures in?

Their training was cancelled today so there must be doubt about Saturday's game, even if for no reason other than the disruption it will have caused to their preparation.

Anyone who has been in close contact with this player must self isolate for 14 days, that is the instruction given by the track and trace people.

In the first 2-3 days of becoming infected you could still produce a negative result as the virus incubates then you show signs so there could be several other players yet it depends when the tests were done if yesterday Saturday could be too soon to assume he has not passed it on

We don't know how or with who he travels to training.

Not when it comes to football they don’t. Whether rightly or wrongly, that’s the rules set. We’ve had positive tests already and no whole teams had to isolate.

The original image was put up by a Rangers twitter page. Make of that what you will.

[Gatecrasher]

you would have thought cases of the virus would be a given and as long as its one or two and not a large chunk of the squad games would go ahead as planned. As long as everyone is tested as their supposed to.

Does appear genuine. Leaked by someone at Scottish Govt.

If protocols have all been followed, only the player affected isolates. If protocols haven’t been followed, entire team do is what I’d take from that.

If Aberdeen/any players have broken the protocols, and can’t fulfil fixtures as a result, we shouldn’t need to worry about rescheduling anything IMO.

Yeah, if players have broken the protocols then St Johnstone should get the 3 points if Aberdeen can’t play on Saturday. Would also be the best way to try and ensure that it doesn’t happen anywhere else

STV news saying allegedly up to 8 Aberdeen players were out on the town on Saturday
Dear me, if this is true,

What are the protocols? Are the players allowed to go to the pub etc?

I’m not entirely sure which is why I said ‘if’ they’ve broken them.

But given players all need to turn up to training on their own, I presume they’re no meant to sit together in a pub. Wouldn’t really fit with the whole ‘bubble’ thing.

Points deduction is the way to go here.

If it was only the players sitting together in a pub then that wouldn't be a problem. It's everyone else that's in the place at the same time.

Players shouldn't be out in bars, restaurants or any other indoor public place where masks aren't obligatory.

Under what rule? You can't just deduct a team points for players going out together, as much as it seems a daft thing to do.

If they can’t fulfil their fixture then I think the potential punishments are pretty strong.

Of course. If they can't fulfill fixtures they can be penalised.

If Aberdeen say they can put out a team for Saturday you can't simply deduct them points because players have tested positive (as stupid as their actions might have been).

Yes you can if they haven’t followed protocol.

What’s stopping Celtic or rangers players going out there way to get a positive test right before an old firm match that’s going to be behind closed doors to get it cancelled to a later date? Punishment will be needed. Could earn St Johnstone a good few quid mind you.

There is a rule in the SPFL regulations that allows for points deductions in this circumstance? Id be very surprised if so.

I imagine the whole squad will need to self isolate so I can't see how they can possibly fullfil their fixture

Maybe I'm wrong though

In any case the players should and will be heavily punished of the story turns out true

I just assumed the other poster would be talking about a points deduction if they couldn’t fulfil their fixture. Which, of reports are true, they won’t be I don’t think.

You seriously think football players are going to go out and catch a potentially deadly disease to avoid playing a game? Deary me.

[1van Sprou7e]

Also, this makes me glad we don't have so many fannies in our squad anymore

Can imagine if we still had the likes of Stokes or Cummings this would probably end up being an issue at some point but it feels a bit less likely now

I didn’t suggest they would do it. I suggested the potential opportunity is there and also accusations.
