Hibs consulting their players re tonight

[SuperGers07]

If that's the case, the mentally challengeds should forfeit the points.

Other way about. Celtic have stated they are happy to play

 

[The Crimson King]

I think people are forgetting Hibs are an employer at the end of the day and have a duty of care to their staff.

Imagine one of their players gets it despite the reservations. I don't think "aye but it was our best chance for 3 points in a game of football" would go down too well.

We shouldn't be having a pop at hibs for wanting to protect their staff. Our ire should be aimed squarely at the SPFL/SFA for asking them to play without proper assurances.

 

[Balogun1]

What's the PFA's stance in all this?

Surely they must back Hibs?

Precisely and if not, why not? Questions need to be asked.

 

[MCMLXXXI]

Will be absolutely disgusting if Celtic benefit out of this.

Don’t they always?

 

[Gio#56]

Would they even get the results back before kick off?

they are quick tests but not SPFL approved.

 

[TN8]

Absolute shambles from Hibs here.

 

[HereLiesDavidStHubbins]

I'd much prefer hibs to play right now, but you can't really blame anyone for choosing not to.

 

[Smkz23]

Hibs have a golden chance to win at the piggery. Ffs man up and destroy them for the good of Scottish football

They also have a golden chance to reach a winnable cup final in a little under 2 weeks which a COVID outbreak could derail.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

They'll will all have been tested recently so no point in extra test.

Someone could have contracted the virus but it not incubated to the level where it is detectable by the test, but has since and is now contagious. A negative test 72 hours ago doesn't automatically mean a negative today.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

could also be gamesmanship from Hibs.

 

[¥ungblazebo¥]

More importantly, Hibs, and their lack of testicular fortitude have knackered my cash outs on Skybet.

 

[instructor]

Sounds like Hibs don't trust that the correct players are self isolating which seems a bit odd. Get the match played.

 

[Its-Sebo]

What difference does a test make? The games in 3 hours, you can’t get results that quickly.

This could be a smart play by Hibs to cover their arsed a bit. If they do get a case of Covid as a result of the game or around it the SFA have to be lenient with them because they refused testing

 

[Baxter Blue]

What difference does a test make? The games in 3 hours, you can’t get results that quickly.

Even play the game Wednesday.

 

[Prestwick_ Bear]

Absolutely shambles - Celtic should be absolutely hammered beyond all belief for this. Hibs should not have to play them and the game should be abandoned and 3 points given to Hibs.

They either field a weakened team which gives Celtic a better chance of a win. Or the play them and run the risk of catching Covid - thus resulting in the potential to spread it more amongst the Premiership clubs. Which in turn, would possibly reach Celtic's clear goal of getting the season cancelled.

The SPFL, SFA, Celtic and the Scottish Government all working well together here to suit one club still.

This.

 

[Cooperfan]

Let's hope they have an all out war and it forces changes in Scottish football (SFA and SPFL).

 

[Gramps1]

Guaranteed there’s been calls from uncle Peter and his puppet Petrie about getting this game cancelled tonight.
Fucking stinks

 

[Kirbys House]

That's because if they did take the hit. They know everyone will back them

Doesn't really mean anything though does it?

 

[Johansen]

Don't see what the problem is here. It's just a bit of filth on filth action...

The problem is that Celtic are trying to influence this situation by refusing to test all their players and the SPFL seem to be backing them in this. If anything Hibs should be awarded the points and put an end to this charade orchestrated by the hovel dwellers from the east end of Glasgow

 

[rossgers]

Just think about it for a moment.
If there is a Hibs player with a pregnant girlfriend/wife

It was Griffiths

 

[TN8]

What's the PFA's stance in all this?

Surely they must back Hibs?

Why?

 

[BlueFlagHigh]

This is the most appalling corrupt farcical nonsense any of us have ever seen . Off the scale . Something needs to be done and quickly about this . Outrageous . How can they be allowed to benefit from all this ??

 

[dmcallstar]

So hibs get a loan player and they play the game on the now free Scottish cup weekend?

 

[Morelos20]

could also be gamesmanship from Hibs.

What do they achieve?

It’s just Hibs attempting to Hibs it before a balls kicked.

 

[Ped78]

SSN, Hibs have asked for Celtic players to be tested and this has been refused by both Celtic and SPFL.

Fucksake

 

[Macky]

Bizzare stance when only 1 celtic player has tested positive.

Yes 1 tested positive on Friday, doesnt mean more players wouldnt test positive today. It takes days to show, so any of that team could actually have it. I can understand why Hibs wont be happy about this. Bizarre that Celtic and SPFL have refused further test before the game, perfectly reasonable request unless it wasnt feasible to get results back on time.

 

[The Gooner]

The big problem is that Hibs are really Celtic reserves and they can’t play themselves.

 

[Walker54]

If they've nothing to hide why refuse?

 

[SouthLDNBear]

3-0 win to Sellick

just cashed out my hibs win bet on skybet

Was that care in place when they beat St. Mirren in that game posted above?

You can't pick and choose when you want to activate that 'duty'.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

Absolute shambles from Hibs here.

Hibs have a duty of care to their employees.

 

[Bluetou]

Should be fine with their new away kit

 

[Jjbscotty]

Hibs didn’t have a problem taking on st mirren when they were hit with a COVID crisis.

They’ve got as much assurance as they did before any other game they’ve played this season against an opponent who has had COVID positive results, and that’s all the rules require.

Get the game played.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Hibs have asked, if someone who plays tonight later tests positive and then someone at Hibs does, then they should sue the %^*& out of Seltic and the SPL.

 

[BobbyShearer]

I’m quite happy regardless of the outcome of this shitshow.

All incidents and precedent helps guide our approach and reaction if we are affected by the virus at some point.

I don’t give a f.uck whether the mentally challengeds get the points or not, or have one or a dozen players isolating.
We are in command of this championship and can sit back and watch this whole mutant mentally challenged car crash with glee.

 

[Disco Deejay]

They'll will all have been tested recently so no point in extra test.

Their last lot of tests appear to have been done on Friday (within 72 hrs of kick-off). A lot can change in 3 days, especially given their behaviour and close contact.

 

[Business_Bear]

I would like them to play but can understand their reservations considering they have a cup semi final coming up themselves.

Celtic have engineered a situation where Hibs will now be the bad guys if it they get it called off.

 

[ScottishJournalismIsDead]

If the The Scum are awarded 3 points, it will be beyond corruption.

 

[Bluenose1979]

Every time you think Scottish Football has reached the ceiling of incompetence, it manages to break right through and go higher.

 

[El Jock Grande Sabia]

Why?

Health & Safety in the workplace. Due to Celtic's playing fast & loose with protocols/regulations/laws they have (at least) 1 positive case & 16 others self isolating. Players that are going to be involved tonight could still be carrying it. I know I wouldn't be happy.

 

[Gio#56]

look guys, take scott allan for example, This could kill him if protocols have not been adhered too. SPFL Celtic and the SFA are a disgrace.

 

[Theresa May]

This is beginning to look like a set up with Hibs colluding with the scum to end the league.

There are some genuine mentalists on here - this guy being top of that list.

 

[Macky]

Hibs didn’t have a problem taking on st mirren when they were hit with a COVID crisis.

St Mirren didnt just return from a boozy holiday a few days before where they were all clearly breaching rules.

 

[Yoga Bear]

Even play the game Wednesday.

Good suggestion and would be the outcome if the governing body were competent. They could even switch to Thursday and move their Livi game to Sun

 

[The Golden God]

There's no chance they will get the points if Hibs refuse to play.

Cause the whole mess and end up with the points, there's no chance that would happen would it? Even in this tin pot country.

 

[El Jock Grande Sabia]

look guys, take scott allan for example, This could kill him if protocols have not been adhered too. SPFL Celtic and the SFA are a disgrace.

Nail on head. The SPFL need to realise Scottish Football does not start & end with Celtic & their wants & needs!

 

[Gio#56]

Their last lot of tests appear to have been done on Friday (within 72 hrs of kick-off). A lot can change in 3 days, especially given their behaviour and close contact.

So why no more tests before this game with a squad who clearly broke protocol.

Its an embarrassment. Test could have been done yesterday that would have been approved.

Do you not just get your money back?

Yer right mate, last I looked we were 22 points ahead, fk them all, let them all argue with each other. Points in the bag. Feet up.
