Dons79 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yes it will, all teams in the Europa league should be in sporting bubbles unless it’s a Belarusian team?, and I don’t think sturgeon will gamble on the wrath of the voting public if she were to just ban it as eufa would chuck out any team that couldn’t fulfill there fixtures. that would effectively damage the SNP as they know how much the population love the game and they wouldn’t recover not just from us as fans but by other fans of the other clubs as the precedent would be set to happen again to them possibly!, would be political suicide Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I think as long as Celtic play tomorrow night we are safe for our four games before the international break Link to comment

It all depends on what sturgeon thinks really but Leicester played a few games in EPL while the city was in lockdown for example. Really don’t want to be chartering a flight to anywhere.

Aberdeen will have to create its own Parliament (maybe within the confines of Marschial College) before it is allowed out of lockdown ever again. What a fucking example the city has been made of by mini Grotbags. Link to comment
Fridge Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Should have been done a long time ago. Everyone would be happy with Aberdeen being independent. We could do what we want and the Weegies would not have to deal with us sheep shaggers. 2 Link to comment

Daily positive cases are still increasing in the area although the rate of new cases appears to be declining. Almost 400 people have now contracted the disease in NHS Grampian since July 27th.

To put in perspective, Grampian had been in single case new cases for 9 weeks (64 days to be exact) prior to this outbreak. In that period there were 77 cases. In the last 16 days (between 02nd and 17th August), there were 382 positive cases in NHS Grampian. so its great if we are getting back down to single figures, but this needs to be verified as stable, so I'd expect at least another week lockdown, then as was suggested in today's discussions, potentially they will ease some aspects i.e. cafes before they unlock the pubs again. Expect it to be another week or two after that before we are fully unlocked (in my opinion). All that said, I expect the game will go ahead, at Pittodrie and as also mentioned, at worst case the game could be relocated Link to comment

Donnet Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 The game will go ahead at Pittodrie. The Hamilton game being off "because of the local outbreak" was a red herring. The government wanted to punish the clubs/SPFL by cancelling all that midweeks and this past weekends games. The SPFL/SFA managed to talk them down to just ours and Celtic games being off. If we hadn't had the Soul8 situation none of our games would have been off - local outbreaks or not. 1 Link to comment

I would expect a few photographs being put out if they've gone out for a meal with their wife / partner, but hope to fcuk they know better now than to go to the pub. Link to comment
