Shocked that the SNPs hatred of all things football is causing them to be viewed less favourably on *checks url* a Scottish football forum tbh. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the BBC also write articles for the Irish Examiner, then this is a classic example of automatically dismissing anything and everything which doesn't blow smoke up the arse of the SG as anti SG propaganda.

craigkillie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 13 minutes ago, WATTOO said: I'm not entirely sure that ANY country can give "assurances", name me a country in Europe which is currently allowing fans or that have any immediate plans to allow fans ? Yes, we all know about Bojo's "irreversible" dates which are then followed by the caveat of "nothing is guaranteed", so Yes, while things are currently looking very good here in terms of the vaccine and the daily infections, I really don't see how any Government will be in a situation to provide "assurances" at this stage. You could be forgiven for thinking this was political.......... Aye, UEFA are doing this to discredit the SNP government. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This same "ridiculous approach" is being taken by ALL Governments though and would also be by Ross or Sarwar were they ever likely to gain power. You can roll out the "Devi" talk or the "clownshoes" as you all put it as often as you like, however it doesn't change the fact that they're just following the same advice / route as everyone else. If you think this is outrageous, then I guess the question you should be asking is Why the global conspiracy ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 4 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: It will be the ultimate minter for the SG if their mewling "we just don't know" approach sees Scotland games at a major finals moved a couple of hours down the road from Hampden and tens of thousands of fans are allowed in. It will be a bigger minter if we allow it to be played up here against advice. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know quite blatantly well that trivialising people’s concerns about massive restrictions upon their lives which will at that point be absolutely unnecessary is just an snp fan boy tactic. Look mate if you think they’re doing just a swell job and love making your own sunshine etc then fine, batter in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly not, though. Else they wouldn't have picked out three of the twelve venues as being at risk. UEFA are obviously hearing positive vibes from 9 Governments, and are ready to cut ties with those they see as mucking them about in favour of selling tickets elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The way this week has gone, by the end of the day UEFA will announce the whole tournament is taking place in the footballing Weegie triangle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless someone was winding me up, I believe he said on Off the Ball last weekend that it was "possible" that games could be moved to eg Pittodrie if case numbers were too high in Glasgow come the summer. (This seems so mental that it must be a wind up now I think on it) Edited March 4, 2021 by Marshmallo -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having no football fans at an international tournament is really shit - it doesn't really qualify as massive restrictions on people's lives though -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they must have done, which is why Dublin, Glasgow and Bilbao have been singled out. A simple bit of background reading would have cleared that up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'm not on twitter or facebook and was only going by the tweet posted here. There was nothing in that tweet or this discussion which mentioned either Dublin or Bilbao until now, so again it's not just us obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're basically saying that you were happy to chuck about baseless criticism of the BBC despite having done exactly zero research or factchecking. I think that says more about you than it does about them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
