BishopBrennan Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Right, here goes. Over the course of the weekend, Morton's three pieces of media output (the Christmas video, the match reaction interviews and the video message for the Inverclyde Council virtual switch-on) have over a dozen breaches of COVID protocols as far as I can see. Christmas video: - Two instances of players touching each other. - Two instances of players both touching a cracker. - Six instances of players breaking social distancing guidelines. Match reaction interviews: - Gerry breaches social distancing guidelines while interviewing both Hopkin and McAdams. - In the McAdams' interview, he turns away from camera and coughs into his hand. He then takes a bottle of champagne, hands it to McAdams then shakes his hand. Virtual switch on video: - 21 people standing together, breaking social distancing guidelines. - After filming the video, we openly publicise the video displaying the breach. All this, just after Dundee United and Celtic got hauled over the coals for not adhering to guidelines. You honestly couldn't make it up. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!

Been discussed over on the TonTV thread (albeit not as extensively). Club (all clubs) really need to think about what they are doing if they want supporters back any time soon. If we have an outbreak, we are absolutely bang to rights for sanctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink_panther Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just give us 3-0 defeats for the rest of the season. Wont be far away from what we'd get anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishopBrennan Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 It's concerning, especially against a backdrop of clubs like St Mirren facing hefty sanctions for breaches that, on the surface anyway, seem far less innocuous than our media output over this weekend. The club really need to get a grip of the situation and quickly. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renfrew Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 When Dundee United posted their team photo I asked how stupid can you be... this isn’t any different, I don’t know why we’ve so openly broke the rules Are you trying to tell me Gerry couldn’t have held the interview socially distanced? Could he really not have stood off camera at a distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Unbelievably stupid. Just also occurred to me that Gerry and Andy don't sit 2m apart while they're doing the commentary Have Morton even got anyone who is supposed to act as a Covid officer? Such a post is required even at youth level (and there's one for each team as well as one for the club - I was appointed to that role as I had some experience at surviving covid ). I don't think Morton are any worse or any better than any other professional teams in this regard, but professional football seems to be more or less ignoring the rules almost completely. It's just a matter of time before we have players who catch it. "Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

Absolutely not It doesn’t need to be called out but it was inevitable that it would be- that, as we all know is how social media works and is why the club’s output is so downright stupid. Blaming others for calling it out only goes to deflect from the root cause of the problem, which is that Morton have monumentally fucked up, for the umpteenth time. If you don’t want folk to grass on you, or discuss your failings in public, don’t make such daft mistakes in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishopBrennan Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 12 hours ago, TONofmemories said: Stupid aye, but does it need to be publically called out on twitter... Absolutely not It does though. The club have failed in their duty of care to their players, staff and the local community. An outbreak at the club, caused by the breaches of protocol, would have a knock on effect for everyone living in Inverclyde. If the club had released a single video that breached the guidelines, and they took it down or issued a statement saying 'sorry, we fucked up and we're striving to do better' then that would be one thing, but that's not the situation. When three separate pieces of filmed content, released in quick succession, show an absolute disregard for the guidelines then it's quite obvious that the protocols are not being taken seriously by the club. The powers that be in the club are quick to moan about their financial situation, yet they're actively harming their chances of finishing this season and getting supporters back into stadia. Not to mention the sporting and financial punishments the club could face. Compared to all that, people commenting on the club's incompetence really does pale in insignificance. As Russell mentions above, the best way to prevent being called out on your failings is to not make them in the first place. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!

The Bewilderedbeast Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I get the bit about coughing and then handling the champagne bottle etc, etc, but not the complaints about the players gathering for the council Christmas message. After all, they are training and playing together every day, so to line up and shout Merry Christmas shouldn't be played up as a "serious" breach of the regulations. Same with the club's video, these guys are coming into physical contact with each other every day of the week (no doubt while sweating and breathing heavily) just as the customers of Tesco, Morrisons, The Range and every other large store across the country are every day.
