scottsdad Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Surely the only effect of the teasing of restrictions, the rumours, the build-up to what is essentially a non-announcement is a massive amount of damage done to the mental health of people who are absolutely done in by the last 2 years. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 And a massive overreaction on here to boot. A strange episode all round.Perhaps the reaction on here speaks more to where we are, how our govt is leading, the impact of their acts/ommissions/words on people though. I know your not playing the "MOONHOWLERS!!!! THREADS A CAR CRASH!!!! card here, but I have long found the general reaction to folk venting their spleen on here quite odd. I dont work in hospitality, and I use it less than I would like. I spent the last 24 hours in a rather odd state of anxiety because Yusaf was giving it that restrictions were inevitable all over the media then refusing to tell folk what it is.I think the reaction on here is largely what I would expect for a group of people probably disproportionately skewed towards being customers of football and pubs.... Two demographics that have been treated like shite throughout. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the perfect Presbyterian scapegoat for the government's failure, while insisting that the weans' education (read: playing shitey games for three days next week) Must Not Be Disturbed. 21 months in and we're still pretending that a virus knows whether you've got a pint in your hand before transmitting. A bunch of utter frauds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were independent we would have absolutely followed Ireland in not opening up fully in the autumn and going back into a soft lockdown around now If we were Independent then there's a fair chance we'd have done things much differently the previous 18 months though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Well I'm heading to Fife for the weekend and I imagine that social distancing at Central Park for the visit of Albion Rovers will be entirely possible. Glad the government haven't filled their pants and banned spactators at football again. I agree that this week hasn't been handled terribly well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The "please dont think this is optional" isnt for us btw. Its for bar staff, club staff, waiters and waitresses etc. Shes shifting the burden on to them to police what she cant enforce, under not at all veiled threats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Desperate to keep the covid factories open at any cost and shut down hospitality at the first chance, Sturgeon and her advisors are a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Plenty people think that the government are holding off because the public won’t tolerate a restricted Christmas 2 years in a row, but will be quite accepting of a lockdown when they are fat and skint in January along with a number of people getting an extended break in the form of furlough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Missed the briefing but was it just we can't stop you going to the pub but we just advise everyone not to? Seems like a pointless shot at hospitality and just need to hope enough folk will ignore it and keep businesses going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Good news for today but as I said I expect there will be a 4 Nations announcement at some point before back to work day in the first week in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 "Although it is guidance, please do not think of it as optional" if you can't enforce these new restrictions then they're optional and I know what option I'll be taking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturge might turn up and give you a stern talking to but other than that you should be fine, assuming no other last minute briefings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
