ABERDEENROWIE1903 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Good outcome for the club Lesson learnt, never ever go out especially after a home loss on the town I am sure the club gave them good advice what to do during Covid about mixing outside the club bubble What they do out of hours is difficult to control if your staff are as thick as shit Let's now close this off 1 Link to comment
Woodside Don Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Really thought the SFA would hammer us but we now go with a really strong squad on Sunday, Hibs 0 - 3 Dons, very confident we will win this. Link to comment
KentishDon Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Really pleased these are suspended bans. Fuck knows what we’d have done not having Craig Bryson for 3 games 3 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Tbf they couldn’t really hammer them that hard as there was no rules about not going out, just that they exceeded the ‘household numbers’ congregating together when out. They fkd up indeed but not to the extreme of the celtic twat. He was clearly going to get hammered. still. Very pleasantly surprised all things considered, just hope a couple of them can have a very positive contribution to beating hibs on Sunday now. Link to comment

Sad fact is, a significant number of pro footballers are twats. And at least some of those twats will interpret suspended bans as meaning, "It's OK to break the lockdown rules once, as long as you don't do it twice in six months." I'd say the chances of this season being suspended for COVID reasons just rose about 300%. My feeling is that those footballers who went out and got away with it are thanking their lucky stars and are grateful that they weren't crucified in the press like our players were. Link to comment
leftside Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Dave Cormack has played this very well. It looks like every word and act on this subject since the event has been made with the hearing in mind and how to influence the outcome. 3 Link to comment

Its all right going out for a pint..just go with one mate and do the distancing thing. We have strict distancing/mask orders here..but i still get out to the brewpub 3 times a week Link to comment
Lencarl Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Nothing to do with Aberdeen Eight but: SFA and SPFL confirm three supporter test events could be held on weekend of September 12. Celtic and The Rangers will be two of them but no mention of the 3rd. Aberdeen play Kilmarnock at home that day. Would be good if 1000 Don fans get a seat at Pittodrie. Link to comment

It would be good, but I'd guess the test would be far lower in numbers. The Rugby test had something like 700 in a 65,000. So if Aberdeen were selected, I'd imagin it would only be a couple of hundred Link to comment

I'd say the chances of this season being suspended for COVID reasons just rose about 300%. I'm not so sure. The two players catching the virus were extremely unlucky with regards to Aberdeen being a Covid cluster hotspot, with no-one knowing at the time. Had they tested negative, the club would have been unlikely to know and the rest of the footballing society wouldn't have had the Managers & Captains meeting, which would have spelled out in no uncertain terms what would have happened if there were further breaches. The silver lining to this dark cloud (which is thankfully passing by now) is that everyone who was being complacent has just had a massive reinjection of cautiousness. So I think this may have helped the top flight reinforce the requirements. The punishment was retrospective, with regards to the breaches by the Aberdeen player not directly related to football activities. There was no precedent set and neither do I think this sets the precedent going forward. The punishment I think was fair and the suspended sentence means that we can get back to playing football woth the whole top flight knowing that there can be no further breaches else they risk total shutdown. If that happens, any punishment would have to come into effect once football restarted and the book should be thrown to the culprits The concern for me would be more for the lower leagues, who seem to be relaxing the testing requirements and are a flux of players who intermingle in areas outside sport in their normal day jobs, therefore are not as much a protected bubble as the top flight teams. I'd be more inclined to think we will see an outbreak in lower league teams, shutting down their leagues and protecting the top flight 1 Link to comment
Zander1903 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 at a couple hundred the ones picked would have to be carefully vetted can just imagine the clearly heard comments directed at McInnes when he goes defensive when we're 1-0 up Link to comment

I'm not long in from a ridiculously packed out Lidl. They had to close the fucking doors for 20 minutes to stop more folk entering. 5 minutes to get a few basic groceries and 25 minutes in a queue for the tills that stretched the entire length of the store. Social distancing? I was close enough to get a couple of women pregnant. 5000 fans in any SPL stadium, not just Pittodrie would have been far more socially distanced. Link to comment

I'm sure it will be the focus of her attention tomorrow. Seem to remember Mellon being a bit smug that "all my players are following the guidelines" when our issue came up. Link to comment
