Aberdeen Eight

[Lencarl]

The eight Aberdeen players who broke quarantine rules have been "publicly humiliated" after being guilty only of "naivety" says manager Derek McInnes.My players have been publicly humiliated by far too many people making comment on them, having their say and not letting it go. They've been fined by the club. We'll take what comes."

 

I will go for a 3 game ban for them all.

[RUL]

2 game ban is my guess.

The club shouldn't comment on it afterwards.

I think I saw a conservative councillor in the media in Aberdeen at pub reopening not following social distancing. I wonder if he will be castigated in the way the players were.

[Ten Caat]

Still sticking to my position...they won't be banned, or if they do it will  be suspended for a year with a net effect of no ban providing no repeat transgressions

[aberdeen1970]

Hope you're right TC.  When do we think we'll find out?  Afternoon? 

[Sheepo]

SPFL/SFA as usual will make a complete arse of this.I have a feeling it will be 3 match bans which will be poor considering the raft of players coming back from Holiday to English clubs either with the virus or having to isolate due to destinations with very little being said in comparison to the pure abuse give to our 8

[styrofoamplates]

Agree, I think it'll be a two game ban

[ericblack4boss]

I'm going for 4 games, witj bolingoli getting the maximum.

A cyber pint says they’ll get a ban. 

[Tord31]

I predict 2 game ban (4 game ban with 2 suspended for 12 months).

I predict Bolingoli will get 4 game ban (8 game ban with 4 suspended for 12 months).

[King Street Loon]

I reckon it'll be a 2 game ban with another 2 suspended.

Boligoli should get the max.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

I’ll say a 4 game ban.

We are an easy target for the SPFL & they’ll want to show the Government they want to clamp down on this.

They’ll not want to appear weak. 

You can 100% guarantee if it was either of the arse cheeks, with all this tedious 10IAR shite, there would be leniency all round to avoid flak.

 

[ELLON RED]

Have SEVCO been charged as well for when they played a friendly including players whose results were not back before game?

 

Or has that been swept under the establishment carpet as usual?

I still think Celtic knew he was away. They're going to get off lightly because it's a player who they don't plan on keeping long term. We, on the other hand, have several key players in our Idiot 8. At the end of the day, the bans won't affect them. 

 

[Guest the shepherd]

I fear our players will end up with a 6 game ban each, with the Bolingoli only getting a 2 game suspension. 

The beaks at the SFA and SPFL will factor in some nonsensical shite that "8 Aberdeen players collectively went out socialising, therefore putting other revellers and the general public at a more heightened risk of contracting Covid-19 rather than the individual misdemeanour of Bolingoli."

They will also take into consideration the media coverage of events, the unnecessary lockdown of the city of Aberdeen, and the spiteful vitriol of Nicola Sturgeon on this matter when considering and making judgement, although this is wholly prejudicial, unlawful and wrong.

Surely not.

Bolingoli not only broke the SPFL rules, but the guidelines put in by the government. He also put at risk the whole Kilmarnock team as well, and could well have gotten that game abandoned and Killie awarded the 3 points.

You answered your own question.

the SEVCO carpet must the largest in the world.

Fuck the SFA & fuck the SPFL.

I’d like to see the club come out swinging if it’s more than 2 games, citing the SFA ignoring SEVCO’s breach of testing in pre-season. 
I don’t think we will though 

[Fridge]

Actually I think we will WW. We have accepted we have fucked up but if they totally screw us I think we will come out swinging.

What would be to lose.

[Betty Swallicks]

I presume any bam will be immediate?

Seems harsh just being able to plan the side 48hrs before a game.

Dunno. We're fairly certain they won't be available for Hibs, so would be remiss of us not to plan for the game without them.

It’s the norm now for decisions to be made on a Friday for red card appeals etc & disciplinary hearings.

The SPFL won’t give a damn if it’s one player or eight.

I’m sure deep down privately DM has his team picked minus the 8 anyway knowing a ban is coming, he’ll just be hoping it’s the low end

Absolutely spot on min, but unfortunately we live in a country where prejudice and hearsay are given precedence above and beyond fact and evidence in the eyes of law and society.

From DM's post match interview last night, you could tell he was itching to publically name the other clubs who also had players breaking the rules, in the exact same way our Soul Boys did. But to do that, Wee Nicola would piss her already pished stained puntz, and the game would be a bogey for everyone.

Its pretty obvious we have planned Hibs without them. All 4 who started yesterday got the full 90 mins to get them much needed mins (keep them ticking over for the next euro game) and I'd suspect Hedges being on the bench, Taylor being "rested" and McLennan not in the squad is because we knew we'd need them for Sunday. Got quite lucky Ojo was banned last night as he's the McGeough replacement. 

Only thing I'd say is I'd have liked Hoban to maybe get 25 mins last night as with Considine clearly having to move to left back, in the absence of Hayes, he'll either be starting alongside Taylor, or first reserve CH if he goes with McCrorie alongside Taylor.

Whether he does or doesn’t mention them shouldn’t be relevant.

It’s in the public domain & common knowledge about the huns playing a game a not waiting for test results. 
It’s not as if he’s “grassing”.

I’d publicly mention it, if nothing else it makes it awkward for those corrupt cunts at the SFA & SPFL. 

[thurso]

Altho I don’t think they should be banned I think they will get a 4 game ban. I’m still not sure what sfa rules they actually broke tho, the out for dinner with max of 3 households was government guidelines not law and nothing to do with the sfa.

Actully I’d give them a one game ban for playing so shit against the rangers and loosing and then going out in public for dinner

Aye, 1 game ban for the shite performance.

3 game ban for having the sheer idiocy and blatant temerity to show their fucking faces up the toon after it.

Particularly given how gutless and subservient the manner of the capitulation.

The corrupt arseholes will say it falls under the wishy washy “bringing the game into disrepute” offence.

Probably but it’s like saying that sliding tackle you did was good at the time but we’ve changed the rules since so it’s now a red card and we are going to ban you
