Our players won’t play for expenses as they’re all getting paid far too much.
No idea what the agreement is at any club - but why should they? I as sure as f*ck don't work for free!

Comeontheloknow - each club made the decision based on thier own circumstances, there may be some who will regret that the further we go into this season
A question for you though - your statement outlined "guaranteeing the safety of volunteers and players on matchdays" which is understandable - why enter a team in the under 20s league? I find that baffling!!
They are ours in name and registration only I guess - ran by the Pollok United guys.

The decision to lump all of Scottish football outwith the public park ammies into 'Professional'.. wonder how much longer that will last?

Is those measurements after they turfed over ash track around pitch and extended it about 4 years ago
100 x 63 yards

Lok's 102 x 64 yds is good enough for entry level and we're one of the smallest.
The initial rollout of licencing (iirc) wanted clubs to do 110 x70 which led to issues for Annan, Cowden and Brechin (again irrc).

Let's hope something meaningful can be worked out:
As the link says though, not much immediate prospect of anything in central belt. And I type as I listen to the 'tiers' debate at Holyrood. All quite depressing.

Going by what NS has said this week, and by what has leaked, country will be Tier 2 (like now) apart from the NW Highlands and the Isles which will be 1 and the currently restricted central belt at 3, if not 4 in N/S Lanarkshire.

1) Could you please show where it says tier 1 would be 0 cases /
2) Could you please show where it says the tiers next week will be decided by health board areas and not local authority areas.
1) Level 0 is nearly normal - like what we had over summer. No one will be level 0. All of mainland Scotland is at equivalent of level 2 or 3 currently - quote NS herself.
"‘Level 0’ is effectively the same level of protection as the Route Map Phase 3 measures Scotland reached in August and will act as a baseline"
https://www.gov.scot/news/scotlands-strategic-framework/
There is no chance any area will be level 0 this week, so the only authority currently covid free is the best candidate for level 2.
2) Recheck what I edited in bedfore you replied within a minute! All of NS's reporting is by health board, as are the current restrictions, but I have no idea if the levels will be applied like that.

Under what criteria is Shetland the only local authority area close to level 1 . Evidence please
Ehh no cases? And it's health boards is it not, rather than LAs? I don't know on that either way. If it's health boards, where I am covers Campbeltown to Wick!
Nicola Sturgeon did say today that most of Scotland is currently at what is going to be tier 2 (i.e. no home visits), the central belt lot at tier 3 (closed hospitality).
Will there be downgrading by the 2nd? Not convinced!

Jason Leitch said on Radio Scotland yesterday that crowds would be back first at smaller local games.
But no timescale. And no confirmation of in what number.
As I understand it, and it really is not something I have read up on so am taking this from what I have skimmed or heard, crowds will be allowed at Tier 0 and 1. Only Shetland comes close just now. Most of the country is at what will be tier 2 with some at tier 3. The virus is not under any sort of control yet.

Well Blackburn have 6 changing rooms so the teams are spread across them. Broxburn is similar. At Hill of Beath last week, they utilised their hospitality room and entrance corridor for themselves and we occupied home and away.
That said, a better solution is needed as a lot of clubs simply can't do that. The shuttle system ie 6 in at a time is probably the only way. They do this in England.
I'd rather we did the opposite to that lot of basket cases for as long as possible!

It is entirely true that some miracle might occur and covid vanishes within the next few months to a level that allows some fans to come back. If that happens, superb! The clubs that are sitting out can awaken from hibernation and resume playing friendlies.
I like the way the North Juniors are doing it - giving clubs the option to opt out of a league cup until new year, then starting regional league football in January. That is absolute common sense. The WoS gave clubs the option to delay the start of the season. Most of those sitting out now wished to do just that - Pollok's statement for one said if a delay was back on the table we'd be listening. The 30+ who wished for it were denied that option by a relatively small margin - as we know with recent political votes, the closer it is, the tougher it is for the losing side to take.
Anyway, the die has been cast and on we go. I wish all those kicking off today a safe season.

It is the person who is tested positive that is shopping all their team mates to over zealous track and tracers. Surely all players just need reminded if they test positive of what the close contact rules actually are. Then they only name the relevant people.
And T&T phone the named person up and make a decision based on that info. It got into my workplace and despite a list of names being provided, only a very select few were advised to do the 14 days after that call.
Unless your own experience is different?
What seems to be happening in sports teams is that all team mates are initially advised to self-isolate for 14 days until T&T can establish who needs to actually do it. That was what happened to Forfar - they had to forfeit the Dundee game because there wasn't time for T&T to get it done.

Just had a wee look back to remind me of the players we had during Ebbe's tenure. There's a few gems dotted about, but generally what a frightening amount of pish. No wonder he didn't have the best record.
Aye but he signed a lot of them!

Just been looking at the league website after it's recent overhaul or should I say downgrade. It's all very flashy looking but there's next to no content on it whatsoever apart from basic results / table, and club contacts. What happened to the team line ups and scorers and weekend round ups etc? Will we ever see their like again? The whole thing seems pretty half-arsed compared to other league websites even other Pitchero ones.
agreed, it was excellent, now pretty dire.

I have heard it is not a ref's job to do that - it is down to the club's covid compliance officer.
Someone filming games with permission of the home team I don't see as an issue - the top flight has camera men at games and journalists attend all SPFL closed door matches.

Its fair to say your views will be affected because you are weegie based and you aren't noticing there are more than a few areas to the South, North and East of you that aren't anywhere near the absolute buckled mess that Glasgow and Lanarkshire areas are.
Please note I'm note blaming anyone in those areas for the buckled mess.
I am not 'weegie based'. The point I was making is that Glasgow has been under 'no visitors' restrictions for weeks, Lanarkshire got that a few weeks later and it is only today that Lanarkshire overtakes Glasgow for new cases. That would imply to me some impact of the restrictions, and the blunting that Jason 'grinch' Leitch mentioned this week.

Just now, gogsy said:
Well to use an example the Lothian Health board area restrictions only came into play on 10th October which means the current restrictions would be only starting to affect it just about now. There are four council areas in that Health board area. Edinburgh City daily cases seem to be already started downwards, East and Mid Lothian daily cases seem to be not much difference from what they were end of September. West Lothian seems to be a problem there though. Forth Valley health board areas daily cases (Clackmannan, Falkirk and Stirling) don't seem to be increasing substantially since the since start of October either.
But Glasgow has been under restrictions for longer and today was overtaken by Lanarkshire (which had tougher restrictions imposed later).

FAO our Trumpian poster - the 2nd wave is being suppressed by current restrictions.

...which conveniently fails to mention that the H1N1 flu pandemic 102 years ago was much worse than what we are going through now, which is a lot more similar in magnitude to the flu pandemics of 1957 and 1968 which are both estimated to have led to over 1,000,000 deaths globally at a time when the world's population was significantly smaller than it is today. A lot of people still seem to be viewing COVID-19 in the manner it was being reported back in February when a 2% mortality rate was being reported from Wuhan. The latest IFR number from WHO is 0.2% with a much lower figure for those under 60, but the media coverage and general overall fear level do not seem to have adjusted yet to be proportionate to what is actually happening.

Good evening Jason Leitch. Ah, wait, no.

And the odds of the WoS being in tier 1 any time soon are as long as my hopes of getting to know Gal Gadot quite intimately later on today.
