“The Five” have all tested negative for COVID

[mdingwall]

Ronseal.

 

[Gramps1]

Where does that leave us for Bassey and Patterson getting back in the squad?

 

[DarrenDRM]

5?whose the 5

 

[Sensiblesteve]

Good news thanks for sharing

 

[Number 4]

Ronseal.

Good news.

Wont do anything to anything to stop the vultures circling I’m afraid.

 

[lwl]

Well done lads.

F'ing sack them. No, wait.... give them contract extensions. Sack them, then give them extensions.

Do something.

 

[Lurgan Loyal]

Feed the hamster!

 

[J_H1872]

Lifetime contracts for the 'Five'. All is forgiven

 

[dh1963]

Can take 10 days though?

 

[AllyRFC]

So they’re negative but we still dont know for sure what happened? Lol

 

[insanicdrunk]

Rumours that the whole thing is bollocks but this gives the impression it wasn’t

 

[mdingwall]

Where does that leave us for Bassey and Patterson getting back in the squad?

I imagine they will isolate for ten days and meanshwile be subject to various disciplinary procedures.

 

[Gramps1]

Can take 10 days though?

Just what I was thinking surely they still need to be kept away from training?

 

[rossgers]

Based on the Duffy rule they should be available for selection.

 

[Cuthbert Dibble and Grub]

PILE ON....!

 

[NE Cornerbear]

Was the test for brain cells? Negative.

 

[Alex Boyce]

Ronseal.

Are you positive? !@!@

 

[a_weir]

I’m not sure on what the guidance is, because they’ve not come in to contact with someone to known to have tested positive.

But good news, all the same.

 

[Angus Og]

What about those on the sunbeds and in the lounge?

 

[davstr]

Interesting update. Wonder what next steps will be

 

[The Crimson King]

If it happened on Saturday night I'm pretty sure they would be unlikely to test positive either way?

 

[dh1963]

Is this thread kind of confirming we have 5 players who broke Covid protocols?

 

[humie]

Silly boys hopefully get a kick up the arse and fined by club aswell but we move on and look after the boys.

 

[portproddyboysfb]

I like No5 especially when you put it alongside this No5 it = 55 :shh:

 

[Jamiegatami]

Those UVF funded Ulster Covid tests are paying off again!

Nobody tell Mad Joe or Ill Phil

 

[scooter70]

Surely how they test isn't the point of this? They were idiots for putting themselves in the position of being issued with fines, being negative doesn't change that at all

 

[VforVolunteer]

I'm sure we'll see over the next few weeks in squads and team sheets who "the five" offenders are.

I didn’t say it did.

 

[SuperGers07]

Thought it was 4

 

[Tino_Col]

I know it's not much, but it's okay. Keep on moving anyway.

 

[lwl]

I trust suitable measures are in place, to bookmark the big shitfest of a thread adjacent, ready for revival in season 2023/24 when Calvin or Nathan fire the winning goal that takes us into the Champions League last 16?

On when the SFA start dishing out notices of complaint to the players

 

[cooperman]

so all the pre-emptive ape shitting before the facts spewed by lots of folks on here was a waste of time and bandwidth then, nice

 

[Gaz030191]

Surely how they test isn't the point of this? They were idiots for putting themselves in the position of being issued with fines, being negative doesn't change that at all

Of course there is a wider issue to address with said players of not following club procedures, but it's definitely good they're clear and not bringing any risk in and around the squad.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

No, but it would be even worse if they did test positive.

Ding!

 

[GovanFront4]

Free the Swally Five

 

[jimcornette]

5?whose the 5

Arn & Ole Anderson, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and JJ Dillon.

 

[Bluenose1992]

Obviously wasn’t a party of complete randoms Mark? Like Jones/Edmundson?

 

[BlueHaze]

So there was 5 of them ? .

 

[Coopertrueblue]

Keep them away for 3 weeks

 

[Thommo2006]

Of course there is a wider issue to address with said players of not following club procedures, but it's definitely good they're clear and not bringing any risk in and around the squad.

What's the difference between the players associating in a changing room/players lounge then associating in a house? Other than the legal side of stuff but safety wise is there a difference? They arent mixing without random outsiders

 

[DarrenDRM]

Arn & Ole Anderson, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and JJ Dillon.

Nae hulk hogan?

 

[Louch]

Arn & Ole Anderson, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and JJ Dillon.

Would have been Paul Roma under the Spivs

 

[Beanzie]

Whilst you are correct it would have been worse had anybody tested positive

 

[Mr Wilton]

I imagine they will isolate for ten days and meanshwile be subject to various disciplinary procedures.

So were they just at one of their houses? Not a “party” as reported.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

They're doing their job when theyre in a dressing room.

 

[JD1872]

At least that will avoid the track and trace process having to be followed.

I imagine the season is over for the 5 players anyway, regardless of what the SFA/SPFL do Gerrard will not be trusting them.

My guess if they will be loaned out next season and made to work for another opportunity

 

[GF1872]

I imagine they will isolate for ten days and meanshwile be subject to various disciplinary procedures.

Mark do you now know there has been a breach?

 

[Boaby Fett]

So the fact is the idiots were partying?
