Club's duty of care to you was done as soon as ref blew for time it appeared. It’s a fcuking joke now, isn’t it. The only thing missing on Saturday will be John Swinney standing beside me with a wee cardboard box selling macaroon bars, spearmint chewing gum, an’ ra’ tartan facemasks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite being more 'zero covid-y' than everywhere else, they surely knew that vaccination was the only way they could get out of this? They've had plenty time to sort it, so to be in this position so far down the line is inexplicable. A relative of mine in NZ is mid 70s and only got their first jag about 4 weeks ago. That's a fair age for a sheep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 If this is something which is required, I would suggest everyone simply ignores it and turns up when they want. That's exactly what happened at Hampden without any Qs being asked, UEFA confirmed it was advisory only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the question cos I'm a nosy b*****d: So, how is staggered arrivals preventing pub dwelling going to drive pub numbers down post game when everycunt piles out and goes to the pub? I'd say most supporters who go to the pub on a matchday do so after the game. And this will be the case at 4:50 on a Saturday at ER or Tynecastle when everyone is allowed to just pile out (unless the council want to hold folk in their seats for an hour or two post match to dissuade pub activity) So I genuinely don't understand what staggered arrivals are actually supposed to be achieving in this scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One remaining annoyance in my local Tesco is you have to exit from the opposite side of the building from the entrance and where the car park is.

Thereisalight.. Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 hour ago, djchapsticks said: What difference does staggered arrivals make given we are told that you need to be in air space of someone for around 15 minutes to catch it? Are we seriously to believe that 30-60 seconds walking through a busy stand to your seat marks you as high risk? Because if so, that's completely against what we've been told the last 18 months. I can only speak of my experience attending the Ayr game v Killie on Monday. We had a certain entry time and rocked up about 10 mins before it. Outside rugby park there was hundred(s) of folk milling around waiting for their entry times to be announced over the tannoy. Utter madness. Then there was staggered exits for each block 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people seriously going to continue wearing a mask at Tesco knowing people are not wearing one at nightclubs whilst getting pissed? I really feel a bit sorry for all those people (including professional scientists) who genuinely believed masking up was about science and was backed up by science and have spent months being evangelical about it all. Those people have been made to look a bit fucking stupid by this statement by the SG's spokesman. Was up at the shops in Cumbernauld today and definitely more folk not wearing masks in the Antonine Centre. My take on it is that more and more ordinary law abiding citizens have simply had enough, are less and less bothered about being challenged by shop staff or anything, and are now acutely aware that the politicians making these rules up are making them up in pencil on the back of a Woodbine packet. Just my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt that many are only wearing them because they don't want to stand out but no idea how many that would be. Last night in Lidl, I was the only person not wearing a mask. Couldn't give a f**k about others wearing one but Nicola needs to come out first thing tomorrow and announce that whilst they are highly recommended they will no longer be legally required. She should then bugger off and never darken our doorsteps with this nonsense again. Agree that the percentage is still high, but as something of a regular in the Cumbernauld Antonine Centre (best and most friendly Costa staff on the planet), definitely more maskless fizzogs on display, as mine has been throughout* *actually, genuinely exempt, per’ Scottish Gov guidlines. Got my wee blue card and everything. The downside, having medication for my medical issue, but hey, hanging in there as a newly turned sixty year old.

Elixir Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good to see a lot of criticism and pushback of the travel testing farce across the BBC today. But also this: Quote Posted at 13:36 Khan wants mask mandate for Tube BBC Sounds Copyright: PA Media The Mayor of London has told the BBC he is continuing to lobby the UK government to make mask-wearing on the London Underground legally enforceable again. Sadiq Khan was asked whether fewer passengers were keeping their faces covered on the Tube since restrictions were eased in England on 19 July. "The anecdotal evidence is that the numbers are broadly speaking the same as they were before easing from the government," he said. "But in the meantime, we are trying to lobby the government to allow us to bring in a by-law so it will be the law again so we can issue fixed penalty notices and we can use the police service and BTP [the British Transport Police] as well to enforce this." Mr Khan raised the possibility that there could be a repeat of scenes earlier in the pandemic of maskless commuters being questioned by the Metropolitan Police. “The problem is one out of three people who have got the virus won’t show symptoms and inadvertently be passing the virus on," he added. "What we don’t want is another lockdown." Aye, fully vaccinated people not wearing masks on the tube will lead to another lockdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
