Haha totally. 
"Aha, I knew this was the case all along." "They changed their minds because of us." 

I wasn't suggesting that. I assumed that take from the other day was firmly tongue in cheek.

Aye of course

Sorry m8, but this is patronising "I'm handling the pandemic better than you, let me now advise you what to think" nonsense

As opposed to the usual group-think

Wonder how many tickets the SSC will get if it's a reduced crowd. 

Christ knows how they will work it. How many have already been sold (I've got one for all 4 Hampden games via UEFA) and of those how many will have been sold to folk outwith Scotland who will not be allowed to attend if as expected it's " home" as in host venue nation supporters only.

Anyone over 10 points should get to go to each game?

Yes imagine letting the people who have been heavily influencing the government response to this pandemic which has been categorically fucking shite from the fucking get go annoy me. Imagine me having an issue with Leitch who thought we shouldnt worry about wearing masks and that it was a good idea to have an old firm game and lewis capaldi concerts when a new virus we knew nothing about was spreading. The same man who is gunning to get churches open back up as a priority yet folks can’t even meet their parents in the park for a coffee. Then yes also Devi, yes the same ‘make your own sunshine’ numpty making light of the significant mental health cost of this pandemic with utterly enraging shite like zero covid, when actual scientists and epidemiologists are saying there is no realistic chance of that. Yet they are absolutely lauded by the SNP fan boys, staggering. 
They absolutely are impinging on peoples rights and freedoms longer than necessary. I’ll qualify that by saying I am not asking for everything to be dropped right now, far from it, but we need a realisation that all the havering is unacceptable and we need to know the exact criteria they are looking at the lower and end restrictions, a government should be accountable and they are far from such right now. 
We have treatments that work and vaccines, when the most vulnerable are vaccinated then there is no justifiable excuse to keep these things in place, especially when the Scottish government seems to be actively adopting a ‘lets go harsher than England just to make it look like we’re more thorough’ approach. Anyone but the most dedicated of SNP supporters can see through the absolute fucking farce of the response to this pandemic. Promised ‘an adult conversation’ yet spoken to like a naughty toddler at every turn. Unable to justify why their very stringent measures are at odds with well for one wee example the scientific research that shows for example that its perfectly safe to meet up outside with social distancing observed. 
Ill qualify this by saying if a vaccine resistant variant emerges that will cause significant harm emerges then i fully support taking measures to deal with it. I dont oppose the first or indeed this lockdown, I simply disagree with the proposed length and extent of it, thats not an unreasonable position to take. But even remotely criticise the SNP on here and you get labelled a ‘tory’ and even a fascist.
I think its reasonable to suggest even in the context of football that the SNP have got their approach to it in the pandemic absolutely wrong and should be clarifying very quickly just what their roadmap or conditions for a return to grounds will be. I am surprised that on a Scottish Football forum there are people who seemingly couldnt give a f**k about the harm a government who clearly dont really give a f**k about football is doing to the game.  

OK mate, we're all entitled to our opinions. 

It doesn't change the fact that, compared to most of the stuff that is going on just now, it's not a massive restriction on our rights and freedoms not to be told now if we can go to games in June. Which was the initial point. 

And FYI I clearly said I think (and want) the games to go ahead. Everything is black and white on here - there's absolutely no nuance. It's possible to point out that story is pish without being a sturgeon worshipping football hater

Go on, what ideology are people who disagree with the SNP trying to push here, im genuinely interested. 

I'm saying you've adopted a fixed position on how we should emerge from the lockdown.  That absolutely colours your response to everything.

I'm only on 9 and at full crowds I would easily get a Wembley ticket so yes but remember if say 12k allowed in it might mean a pretty small amount available given what has been sold already. Presumably all those sold to supporters outwith Scotland would be cancelled and refunded but you just need to look on the TA thread to see how many got them via the UEFA original sales. I'd be keen to sell on or get a refund for my Czechs v Croatia ticket If I can get one for Wembley.

So no fans at games at Hampden for the Euro’s but England will have full capacity :lol: 

 

Typical Scotland national team situation tbh. Qualify for a major tournament for the first time in decades. Have games scheduled at your home stadium. Covid deaths falling. Yet the powers that be cant allow fans to an outside venue where covid transmission is 20 times less than indoors. I've been annoyed at both the UK and SG throughout all this, but if we lose games at Hampden that will be one of the most frustrating things so far

Nice to see that the SG have turned their attention to "zero something else" now that the zero covid utopia is a distant dream. Good luck to them with this one 🙄

This is almost certainly a reaction to people arguing against Zero Covid with well we accept X amount of road deaths every year 😂

I was watching a documentary the other night, and apparently Myanmar has (one of?) the highest road death rates in the world, because one of the generals consulted a shaman, who advised that he change the side of the road they drive on overnight. So now cars drive on the same side of the road that all the cars there have the steering wheel on.

I think they have bigger things to worry about than that right now.

Well, they do hate road users and want us out of cars.

The gormless tosser Matheson should be focusing on the utter ruin he is presiding over in Scotland's aviation industry.

FFS.  He's mocking VT who used just that hilariously embarrassing construction a couple of weeks ago.

It's not often you see a total whooosh deluged with greenies.

Are you sure? Is it not because the phrase is 'lo and behold' and not 'lone behold'?
