It's not just Trump's America that saw this virus somehow become about identity. Go on, what ideology are people who disagree with the SNP trying to push here, im genuinely interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The reactions to every rumour, speculation, social media post and press article appears to get more extreme by the day. Anything positive is lauded with cigars and anything negative gets the P&B equivalent of a pile on. All this whether the actual article generating the reaction is factually right, wrong or indifferent. The recent pattern has been one of the pile on only for everyone to pick themselves up off said pile one at a time, dust themselves down and then light up a cigar as the initial story turns out to be just that, a story. It must be the light getting brighter and bigger at the end of the tunnel effect. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why were UEFA happy to wait till April then are (according to the BBC) demanding the decision be made earlier? Are there other countries willing to guarantee now that will take our place - because if April was plenty of time before, I can't see why they still can't wait till April for the decision. Perhaps UEFA took another look at the logistics of reshuffling a pan-European international tournament at two months' notice and thought 'nope, we actually need a clearer idea of this sooner than we anticipated'. Which is entirely their right to demand, given that they're tasked with running the tournament. Why you think that this is an inexplicable and scandalous imposition is beyond me, other than for your usual M.O. of white knighting the government's stance on anything and everything of course.

madwullie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 16 minutes ago, Honest_Man#1 said: They are not looking for a cast iron guarantee that you will let fans in. If a variant runs rampant in the month of May they would be well within their rights to pull back. To outright say no rather than give an indication that all going well they expect to be able to allow x number of fans is not acceptable. As a few have said though, the deadline is a month away so let’s actually judge it once we get there. The point was that not saying now if thousands of fans won't be able to watch a football match in 3 months is a massive restriction of rights and freedoms. Given you're not allowed 5 miles out your own LA, can barely have 8 people at a funeral, and all but essential shops are closed and potentially going out of business, I think that's just a bit hysterical, and saying that isn't trivialising anything tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not my fault you and a few others on here cannae take that your party is making a james hunt of the response to this pandemic. In the absence of a catastrophe there should be no reasonable argument against getting fans in to Hampden for June. You have let Devi and Leitch get so under your skin that you're completely entrenched the other way. You were on this non story like a dog at a bag of chips becusee it gave you the chance to put the boot in. Trivialising people's rights and freedoms.

Michael W Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Yes, astonishing that people are getting increasingly pissed off after three fucking months* of lockdown. Cases, hospitalisations, deaths all flying down. 30% of the UK's population has had at least one dose of the vaccine. Increasing evidence that the vaccines work being published. The good times are coming back soon. *three months minimum. Some have been living under harsher restrictions for longer. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 2 hours ago, virginton said: Amazed that UEFA aren't willing to accept 'data not dates!!!111!!!' as a credible answer from the SG in trying to organise their own tournament, if only the dentist could take a week off Off the Ball and jet out to Switzerland to persuade them. It's almost like businesses and events need to be able to plan. The clueless clowns in Government are probably expecting UEFA and others to know precisely when Mount Florida will be below five cases per 100,000 and that there's less than three auld biddies in Glasgow Royal Infirmary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
