First time poster.

What should be the protocol in disciplining clubs/ players on breaking govt rules surrounding C.V.? 2 games in and we’ve already seen violation of rules from 2 clubs.

Other clubs will ultimately suffer because of this whether that’s having games rescheduled or teams not playing their strongest 11.

I don’t understand how there is no clarity from anyone on this going forward. It’s definitely not the last time C.V. will interrupt our 55 season

Team: Ally
International: Dodds.

Agree 100% BlueGecko and have been banging on about this for a while now. Our board really have to get their act together on this and there's no excuse not to.

We need clarification ASAP rather than the SPFL making up rules on the hoof.

Welcome blue gecko and I think we should hand out severe penalties to Aberdeen and Celtic.

Instead of rushing into the new season in their quest to help Celtic to their mythical 10IAR, the SPFL and SFA should have put rules and regulations in place to stop these incidents from occurring.
Footballers are in a privileged position of being able to participate in a team sport. The least they can do is obey the rules like the rest of us away from the clubs.

Welcome mate.
Problem is this is unprecedented and is being 'made up' as we go along. By that I mean that not every scenario has been thought of and a solution or penalty applied to that scenario. Therefore when some eejit decides to go off on their jollies there isn't something somewhere that can be referred to and then the correct tariff applied.
For example, if we don't go into work there is a company handbook which tells our employer what to do. Not so here.
I don't know what the answer is, but there must be penalties applied and it must be fair.
In the case of Aberdeen the team they were due to play got sweet fa out of it all, yet their next 2 fixtures will be played with a weakened team, so indirectly those teams benefit. Hardly seems fair but as I said, it's being made up as we go along.

It's simple if they don't have enough players to play a league game because of positive test or isolation then they forfeit the game 3.0.

Do we really expect the corrupt-to-the-core SFA and SPFL to put rules in place that might damage their beloved Celtic? Imagine the noise if that had been a couple of Rangers players. Lawell will ensure that nothing happens to the unwashed. Their problem is that if they punish Aberdeen they would HAVE TO punish Celtic too.

I agree that there should be a set of rules for this, be careful though, Rangers, Dundee United, and Hibs got away with the first breaches with the pre-season games. If rules come out they will start from then.

We all heard the noise from the Hollicom lead media over the 2 pre season friendlies that Rangers were involved in regarding testing.

it doesn't matter if Rangers Dundee United or Hibs get retrospective penalties or not, we cannot just change rules to make sure it doesn't affect us. it is unforgivable that any player doesn't make themselves available per their contract. if they then bring the game into disrepute then there is already penalties for this. the game should go ahead, if the offending team can't play or has to field a weakened team then that's their fault, noone else. the alternative is to stop the league, then who is the losers, certainly not the offending team.

Which breaches were these?
