JohnMc 2,766 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I assume there is an appeal process with this? Six games feels excessive, even if two are suspended. I assumed a 3 match ban in keeping with Bolingoli at Celtic. Maybe as it's the club's second public breach there's some kind of sliding scale. Of course a fair percentage of our support wanted them thrown out of the club when it happened so maybe some don't feel it's harsh enough. Potentially damaging bans for the club with 2 Scottish Cup rounds falling during it. If we beat Cove Rangers we could get a much stiffer match in the next round and really miss a natural right back and cover at left back. That said perhaps Tav will be back by then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it has already been contested with the length of time it took to announce and that the original ban might have been six games but now as is. 44 minutes ago, onevision said: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,748 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Imagine a gang of 50+ of Celtic going to Dubai, behave against all sorts of protocols out there, with one player leaving the bubble and did not quarantine afterwards, one player contracting Covid-19 and 10 have to self isolate ... and all Mr. SFA-chairman Maxwell has to say is that: "the Scottish Government allowed the trip an hence we won't investigate". Did the government allow them to break protocols or denied the SFA any charging of Covid-breaks? Neither is the case and it should be taken to the SFA's doorstep by us as well as the player's union. But we will probably accept our bans (because the players did breach the protocol) and say that what other clubs do is not our business ... ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
