If Iceberg did catastrophes ...

The facts that China, Japan, Singapore etc. are already containing the disease rather confirms that it is possible to be contained. As of today there are zero new cases in Hubei, the epicentre of the original outbreak. But yeah - mebbe if they kept all the schools open for weeks and strongly advised people to not go to the pub (but not actually order them to close) like this clown-car response then that would have magically happened all on its own. I for one think that someone employed as an editor of The Lancet has got a sufficient grasp of current events, World Health Organisation advisories as well as scientific research methods and conclusions to criticise the UK Government and its gormless response. The same 'great understanding' that said having 60k people at an Old Firm game was okay last Sunday but not 24 hours later. One that also said keeping schools open was a great idea in flat contradiction to nearly every other country in Europe (presumably they don't have epidemiologists of their own) until it suddenly wasn't. If you think that those illogical U turns fall within a standard model of epidemiology then you're quite simply a gullible moron. Those bear all the hallmarks of political decision making, which can and will be criticised by its citizens regardless of your tantrums. Pretty sure that the editor of The fucking Lancet understands the difference between different scientific professions champ - yet he'll continue to make evidence-based criticism regardless. It's almost if epidemiology isn't actually up on an untouchable throne, beyond scrutiny by mere mortals (or in this case, a plethora of other scientific experts). If your shrill, Helen Lovejoy mindset can't handle 'pointless vacuous racket' right now then you really shouldn't have clicked on the General Nonsense section of a Scottish football forum in the first place. Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

So anyone who comes out with rubbish must be an SNP supporter then? I genuinely don't think there is a single Falkirk poster on here who is more out of touch with the majority viewpoint - on literally any subject - than you are. You may want to consider self-isolating from the internet.

It really would be no surprise if the old f**k this up again either. A generation of selfish arseholes. Brexit voting, Tory voting. Anti immigration. How can we expect them not to behave like absolute wankers.

Reading all these posts about people missing small talk and social interactions with workmates makes me realise how anti-social I must be. I can't think of anything better than being holed up for a couple of weeks/months away from people that I'm usually forced to spend time with. Either that or I've just never been lucky enough to be employed in a place where I think most folk are sound.

A wee bit of levity in the current situation. My work is fkd, my brother has been sent home from work. Through a contact we managed to get a game of golf at Gleneagles today. (And if you’re wondering what all the footballers are doing at the moment, they’re all there self isolating amongst themselves. I know I know...). His wee van looked a wee bit out of place in the car park: Best caption competition entry we’ve had so far? w**k, w**k, Good Guy, w**k

This is a fantastic response to someone who said they have you on ignore.

Is it mainly deaf people with painted on eyes? True story Romeo. In my younger days I received a double red card playing amateur football. Wasn't going to tell my wife and just head out with my bag the following weekend so she thought I was playing. Came home to her pissing herself laughing on the Friday. She'd opened an urgent letter for me thinking it was a bill I hadn't paid. It was my suspension notice along with the part where it said "after showing Mr Merkland Red (real name redacted) a second yellow card followed by a red he then proceeded to ask me if my eyes were fucking painted on".

Ann Budge was all for killing off half the senior clubs in Scotland just a few years ago, and has happily broken ticketing rules to overcharge away fans, so you can forgive folk for not giving a single f**k that shes in the shite now.00 Hearts are one of the biggest clubs in Scotland and have millions being pumped into the clubs from the fans. To be fucked after a few weeks of no income and the threat of delayed prize money is embarrassing. Youd hope they survive this and learn a lesson from it, but they had that chance after almost dying a few years ago, so again it's hard to feel much sympathy. It's a shame for the fans and staff, though. They dont deserve this.

Our local IT is one of my neighbours. Told me our work are monitoring who regularly goes inactive on Skype

VT would make some good points if he wasn't such a condescending arsehole.

I muted viking-ton ages ago, but I saw this quoted and it's a perfect example of the kind of mistake an armchair amateur epidemiologist makes: "Oh and if people are really looking for experts instead of ‘armchair epidemiologists’ to criticise what the UK has been doing, then look no further than the editor of The Lancet’s intervention today: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/18/coronavirus-uk-expert-advice-wrong There has been a lot more where that came from over recent days. Other academics and health experts haven’t been doing that to throw their government colleagues under a bus but because the government’s response to the crisis has been baffling and alarming in equal measure to those who know what they’re talking about as well." The editor of The Lancet isn't an epidemiologist. He's a doctor. He believes that it's possible to contain Covid-19, but epidemiologists tell him he's wrong. I've seen a few medics pass inaccurate comments on Covid-19. Doctors are experts at treating patients. Epidemiologists are experts at how a disease moves through a population and how to tackle it. Doctors understand medicine. Epidemiologists understand statistics, virology, behavioural science, social history and logistics. If you can't tell the difference between one science degree and another, you really, really aren't in a position to comment and when you do, you're just adding to the pointless, vacuous racket that's all over social media. Gie's peace.

I’m afraid that his choice of footwear is not really what I’d be looking for in a life partner. I will not be applying for the position at this time.

If you'd asked for a roll AND sausage I could of greenied that. Could of

When fans of other clubs wonder why we don’t like Jacqui Low, this kind of pathetic, embarrassing shite is why.

Bloody VAR

Just want Ollie Shaw back?

Remember this headline? We could have one less club that should suit her. Hearts owner Ann Budge: Scotland has too many senior clubs By Tom English BBC Scotland

A snapshot of my week, overwhelmed by the support our company has received from our clients this week, most are working from home, almost everyone is continuing with daily walks, some have even said they will continue to support us financially even if they need to withdraw their dog due to self quarantine. I'm usually quite pessimistic so it's been a pleasant surprise how much support we've received from our clients, i feared the worst at the start of the week.

Summed up yourself nicely there. Thanks for playing for 70 minutes and claiming a victory chump.

This school of economics class is being brought to you, in part, by RandomGuy. A man who supports a team, who, half way through a season decided there is no home stand and sold its bum hole to the Old Firm to cover massive losses.

How did she get it up there?

Once this is gone, I'll be feasting on you cunto. Thank you.

I'm in a Skype call/meeting now and an about to go full "Falling Down" mode. An insufferable bunch of cretins who become even worse on line. If I ever see them in person again it'll be a day too soon. No, I don't want to see your fūcking dog!

We go to my parents house every Wednesday and Sunday with the kids and my sister takes along hers. We decided to stay away last night as the school my wife works at has had several kids sent away to self isolate. My old man is in his 70's with underlying health conditions. That's my sister just off the phone after telling me how we should still be going round to see him as it will be a shame if he has to self isolate blah blah. Told her I'd rather get some more years with him than put him at risk over the next few weeks.

In my opinion, every club who wants pyramid access should do what we have done and get their application in, then sit back and see what happens with the PWG. What have they got to lose by doing that ? Nothing, but plenty to gain.

Yeah we should have factored in a global pandemic. You are fucking thick yes?

Maybe an American with diplomatic immunity...

That’ll be Johan Crufts

Look!!! a board will be elected by the MEMBER CLUBS.the current wrjfa.will cease to operate. the SJFA will be there to administer the Scottish junior cup Only i think you will have to pay them if you take part in it.but all decisions for the new league will be determined by the new board which you the clubs elect.

It refers to a supposed unanimous vote which suited all the clubs re proposal 4 - no such vote took place, and the attitude in the hall most certainly was not unanimous. It refers to George Fraser of EOSL - George is the chairman of the Lowland League. It refers to a number of clubs fearing they would be left behind and cherry picking of clubs by the WOSL, and says that the juniors proposal would not allow this to happen - the LL made it clear that it absolutely would not happen under their proposal either, but that isn't mentioned. It states that Arthurlie's club president has been "in constant dialogue with Mr Ronney", but makes no reference to any attempt to engage in dialogue with the LL/EoSFL/SoSFL to find out if what they are being told is correct or not. All in all the statement read to me that the Arthurlie board are only listening to one side and believing everything they are being told, instead of engaging with the people who will actually be administering the new league to check what they are being told. Had they done that then there would probably have been considerable changes to the wording and tone of the statement.

Stopped reading at this point.

Diseased Cockneys escaping and coming up to Dingwall to raid Tesco.

Are the panic mongers in England SNP conspiracy theorists as well? Your contributions to this site recently really have been woeful.

Well done to Raith fans everywhere and thank you to the fans of any other teams who've decided to help out. Every team bar Celtic is probably going to need help from the fans to make it through this. Stay safe everyone and hopefully we come out the other side of this in the near future. Cup Finals, League wins and bragging rights are not of importance at this time. Hopefully we're soon discussing bad refereeing decisions, crowd wanks and terrible Make Airdrie Great Again banners soon.

His left foot is big, but his right foot, is far away.

I can't wait too watch the super again .it will be an emotional moment watching us run out the tunnel too start the first match back .infact I've got tears thinking about it.

I propose a 14-team league where there is a 12-2 split at the BEGINNING of the season. The group of 12 would do what we have been doing for the last wee while and the remaining 2 teams would play all of their games just against each other, in Siberia. The league table would have 2 completely independent parts to it. The group of 12 would have their progress recorded in a table which, for argument's sake, we could call "The Scottish Premier League table". The other two teams' progress would be recorded in whatever way they want to record it. Seeing as the league would be played in these 2 parts, we might as well have the coverage split appropriately. So the teams based in Siberia could be televised in Siberia, and everyone else in Scotland. I haven't yet thought through how we would go about choosing which teams play where, but thinking on my feet here it would seem fairest that, with all the expense of traveling / relocating / buying warm clothes etc., we should be looking at asking the clubs who can afford it most and who have the largest supports (better for keeping warm) to go to Siberia. Thoughts?
