I said before the season started my instinct was Glass was out of his depth and I have seen nothing to change my mind. For me, 3rd is the minimum this season with the wages we are paying. If we had qualified for Europe or won a cup, more leeway would likely have been given league wise but the Raith result in particular has put him under a lot of pressure already.

As far as I am concerned, the vaccine passports are distracting from the Scottish Government completely mishandling the reopening in their usual fashion of attempting to be seen as more caring than the UK Government. I would have removed all legal restrictions at the start of the school summer holidays with the obvious advice to keep following basic hygiene measures. Instead we had the 9th August reopening a week before the schools went back and only a few weeks before universities. I think this would have allowed the exit wave to subside before a further spike, leading to less pressure on hospitals at one time.

Surely would have to be in parliament for any changes?

Personally I think we have a slim chance of turning it around. I thought before the game last night we couldn’t afford to go behind against an experienced team in Europe. I live in hope though.

The SNP are all wearing masks.

The SG have completely lost the plot. Horrendous abuse of emergency powers.

They are actually trying to pretend it wasn’t originally going to be banned until they saw the reaction

The polls I can see show independence became more popular when Nicola was seen to be “handling the pandemic better” in the early days but have since been on a fairly rapid decline. It seems obvious to me that maintaining restrictions going forward is not going to win the votes of the more sceptical.

The thing is though, it seems the days of floating independence voters being attracted by more restrictions are long gone.

You have to question why we have more measures than any other ground and appear to be more strict in enforcing them.

Unfortunately it is starting to seem like the only way out of mask mandates is most other countries removing them and the SG having no option but to follow.

Watched a bit of their briefing and it was like being transported back to March 2020.

But how long will they remain? Will we get a criteria for dropping all mandatory mask laws?

To me, offered means has already had an appointment by the deadline, not has received a letter for an appointment beyond the deadline.

Have spoken to 3 people who didn’t go to the football on Thursday due to testing and mask requirements. I don’t agree with the SNP when they say there is no economic cost to mandatory masks.

Quite a lot of folk did but others were pulling it below their nose when he wasn’t looking or taking it off to shout.

There was a steward walking up and down the stairs in our section at pittodrie saying “mask up” to anyone with it below their nose and “mask on or you will have to go” to anyone not wearing one.

Yes, I don’t agree with most of the measures and it feels like something which would have been required last year to attend a game. No point complaining too much about it though. We have decided to give it a go and if we don’t enjoy it, we will just revert to watching via a stream.

I have been against them being mandatory from day one but the SNP are obsessed with them.

I expect masks to remain mandatory beyond even 9th August. Watched a bit of Javid yesterday and every SNP question I saw was demanding mandatory masks.

We definitely seem short and the rumours have dried up. My instinct is that Glass is well out of his depth. Hope I am wrong.

He obviously hasn’t noticed cases are not going up.

I thought Nicola said yesterday England were the outlier.

My prediction is that cases will level off and then decline in England when restrictions end due to the Euros finishing and school holidays but could be wrong.

Also says masks will be required at all times at Easter Road. Think I will continue to watch via a stream if that is the case at grounds.
