    Surely everyone who played that game now needs to isolate? What defines close contact? Surely a tackle?

    * me, and no doubt Hatem might need to isolate as well.

    Internationals need scrapped while covid is kicking about, even European football is too risky.

    European football is more doable as only two bubbles coming together but in international football there's more bubbles coming together than in a bar of Aero

    However, The Daily Record report Elhamed has not been identified as a close contact of Bitton and will play against the Czech Republic and Slovakia this week.

    If i were Lennon I'd be * raging and publicly ripping the * out of fifa, uefa and about every other fa involved.

    This is beyond a joke, unacceptable and does not warrant the risk of allowing all these players to dart off around the world - at this number of players travelling I don't see how bolingoli can stop our games but having 10 or so guys jetting about to several different national squads mixing with completely different people for a game of football can't.

    Whether countries are on any quarantine list or not allowing that many to travel is more risky than 1 going abroad for a mad * dip

    Honestly * them, pull the players. We will not be the only ones on the edge of doing so and we all will be waiting for the first person to do so.

    If they ban us from Europe, * it, this is literally life on the line here.
    If they tell the SPFL to cancel, * it as well.

    Do those of you who are saying we shouldn't be playing international football, feel the same way about our upcoming games in Europe?

    What happens when the players say naw and want to play for their country?

    Can already picture Lennon trying to tell Christie, Forrest and McGregor they aren’t allowed to play against Serbia...

    Aye, pretty much.

    Sure it will great to see AC Milan back at Paradise, but in the current climate its utterly farcical that international and European competitions are even taking place, but hey ho, like many higher up, detached from reality rule makers - they push on because for them it's the pretty penny over the many every time.

    No.

    Two clubs playing against each other in European competition is very different to players from dozens of clubs (across multiple nations, with different guidelines) playing against each other in international competition. Nothing is risk-free, but, clearly, the first scenario is much easier to control.

    Plus, international football is rubbish. :84:

    Then they put their own life in risk, I don't think players will push it that much at this current time, but if a player does want to insist, then yeah its tougher to say no. But we gotta do something here.

    Exaclty, the clubs are in a bubble of their own, they stay in that bubble regardless where they travel, but international you put together 20+ bubbles and * the whole thing up.

    ‘* them’ isn’t an option.

    For me it is.
    Whats the punishment? They ban us from Europe? For the sake of life, I am alright with that.
    But I honestly think once one club pulls players, a host of others will follow suit and it will end internationals during this.

    They’re putting their own life at risk playing different opposition every week.

    Aye, the Scottish players aren’t going to push to play the biggest game the countries had in a generation that will make them national legends overnight...
