The Moonster Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 19 minutes ago, Bairnardo said: @Monkey Tennis im not sayingnthis to be arsey, but you recently asked me if I really believed a vaguely conspiritorial sounding post I made about scotgov giving zero fucks if football and hospitality live or die. after yesterday, where no end date was given to the new normal of councils being able to sinply say no to crowds over 5k, and hospitality being restricted to number of seats available in their establishment, with the government actually expecting to be taken seriously over the angle a drink is being consumed at... I am going to say yes, I stand by what I said. It's clear to me that the SNP have no time for football fans but they handed out a care package to all senior clubs last year that has allowed a lot of clubs at various levels to not only survive but build for the future. They did not have to do that and if they simply wanted football to die off they could've sat back, said "nobody forced you to play games" and let the liquidators do their work. I think some of their current guidance is wide of the mark (such as the hospitality rules you mention) and I'm sure once the practicalities of it are exposed as a nonsense things will change. I hope anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been slower and tighter with restrictions and were last summer too on top of the broader point I made about the messaging being aimed at "doing it because we care" which is the part I find the most annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Everything I don't agree with is obviously a grand Machiavellian conspiracy which just happens to be devised and carried off by incompetent idiots.

Benidorm Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 No allowed to stand up in a pub they're saying this morning and uncertain about what they'll do with clubs still. At the point I'd vote for the tories any day over this mob. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The plague.' The Scottish Government could have aligned itself with the EU's travel and border policies throughout, but has ended up going along with Brexit Britain instead - which is even less 'close the borders' gutter rhetoric than the Scottish Government. I hope that sinks in eventually, because it won't ever be forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 If the phrase "vertical drinking" enters common discourse im burning this country to ground and starting a new one. Vertical pishing will be the next soundbite when it is banned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibsFan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I try not to let individual politicians and their words/actions annoy me too much, so fair play to John Swinney for working me, a grown adult who should know better, into the biggest fucking seethe fest of all time with that "vertical drinking" patter. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Been reading Deepti's take-down of a paper on long Covid published in the Lancet. It's funny - she is slagging off every shortcoming in the paper. Where did she read about these shortcomings? In the paper, where the authors (like every other scientific author) stated what the limitations in their study were. The study is "heavily flawed" because parents of ill children are filling in the data rather than the sick kids themselves. Honestly, she is losing the plot. An editor of a journal would take these criticisms and bin them (you often get reviewers who don't understand what they are reviewing). Every study has limitations! Then we get this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also the police helicopter following a couple walking their dog in the Yorkshire Dales, and also a righteous 'did ye aye?' story from Eamonn Holmes' wife on some stupid morning show about jumping out the way of a man who brushed past her in the shop and asking that he respect her space. Lapped up by hordes of Lovejoys who aren't prepared to move on from March 2020. If I had complete power over this silly little island for a day I would make up some nonsense about an imminent and unpreventable nuclear threat and while everyone clawed each other's faces off.
