You've posted some nonsense in your time but this tops everything! They aren't going to watch the game, they are going to evaluate something that they want to buy! If you think that trying to sell something to someone for as much money as you can, but saying they can't come and have a look at it, is a good idea...then I hope you're not in charge of anything at your work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules apply, especially with all the strict procedures each individual has to go through. It is a strict “behind closed doors” game between 2 clubs. I’m sure he’d have had to be properly tested like others, however think it is still pretty poor for us to be letting a scout in from another team. They’ve watched the player for years no doubt and will have several other months to buy and watch the player when the season starts. However during these strict times with a few fans supposedly having to be removed from the Dundee Utd game at Dalziel, I personally find it pretty poor the club have let another club official enter the stadium.

We have "behind closed doors" games every summer. It's effectively an intense training session. It has nothing to do with procedures or testing.

I have no problem at all with scouts going to watch games in a normal state but not during a pandemic where players and all club officials there will have to go through strict testing procedures. If fans aren’t allowed then other clubs employees not involved in the game shouldn’t be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think a scout's attendance hasn't been arranged well in advance with procedures put in place, and that he's just rocking up to the gate spitting and coughing on people? That we've gone to all the expense and trouble to regulate every session that has happened since restrictions allowed, and documented it on camera for public viewing...only to allow any random scout to just walk in and undermine it all? It will be strictly regulated and arranged in exactly the same way as a referee turning up to officiate a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just disappointed to learn that scouts don't locate players by tracking their boot prints in the mud and secretly sneak peeks of them from behind a tree. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I doubt Robinson knows how he wants us to set up yet, so that won't be a problem. I expect we'll see a few formations before the new season kicks off - and probably a few afterwards. Once the season is in full swing, however, it won't be difficult to keep tabs on all the other teams in the SPFL, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

Fitba managers and scouts are generally absolute anoraks, they want to know everything about the teams they will come up against and the details they go into are unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
