Joking apart this has really serious consequences. First off they should not be allowed to leave Aberdeen's five mile limit so all their games should be forfeit until this is lifted.
The club should be fined or points deducted and all lost games given as 3-0 wins to the opposition.

The country has put up with a huge inconvenience and for these clowns to flaunt the rules needs a strong response.
They called the league when no players had the virus, and now they have, surely all who came into contact tested or not should be isolated. IF this means teams can't full fill their obligations then they should be removed from the league.

However nothing will be done as the GFA are shitting themselves an OF player will catch it and they have to apply the same rules.

I can only echo Sturgeon by saying that I too was furious when I heard this news.  Reasons as follows:


1) The SFA and SPFL agreed to the conditions surrounding the return of football.  They broke the rules.
2)  Their selfish actions put the rest of the Scottish game's future in doubt.
3)  Footballers are role models and being so, they need to take on the responsibilities associated with that.
4)  Being 'well kent' faces in the city, their presence in local pubs would have inevitably attracted crowds, gatherings etc thus potentially spreading the virus
5)  Their positive tests mean potential transfer of the virus to other places in Scotland. (via other teams)
6)  They have shown complete and utter disdain for the rest of the Scottish population, whom, on the whole have adhered to the guidance our government has set out.

There are so many more reasons, but I'll avoid a rant.

I'm really angry about this and I didn't think that McInnes' reaction to the situation on TV tonight  was strong enough.

Finally, I expect that a few players will be shitting themselves just now.  Let's not be naive and think this will be exclusive to Aberdeen FC.

All Aberdeen's games should have been forfeit, until the whole squad was clear and the five mile restrictions lifted. To allow a team to travel and play even with one player with the virus, is foolhardy at least. 

Statement imminent from AFC where players will be named.
