Maybe it’s just me overreacting but I really don’t think people are getting it. I had a close family member pass away in April. I had the choice to travel to the funeral. I didn’t go. So watched their funeral with my Son in a flood of tears, on a laptop, in my living room. Few months on, I could have met friends or gone to the Pub, but so didn’t as I didn’t want to jeopardise the time I met my parents after their shielding ended. All personal decisions made during the pandemic, abiding by rules and to protect the health of others. Selfish, posing, “professional” athletes, who understood protocol to allow the football season to begin were faced with a choice of whether to go out on the piss on Saturday and they said “f**k it”. Doesn’t just jeopardise them, but staff, opponents and the season as a whole. Sorry if that’s me overreacting.

In what way is this interesting? Did you think that because covid is less prevalent than before old and vulnerable people would now be immune to death from other causes?

Aberdeen are a fucking disgrace and should be docked points. Anyway, what are they meant to have done?

Free money

Theyve already put a statement saying they will, and its the fault of the players so they can't complain. Compare and contrast to Particks statements over the past 3 months, and your club would currently be posting a massive statement promising that the "Partick Thistle family will be avenged for such a disgraceful act against our club", while your owner PMs 15yo kids to try and get them to put up "f**k the SPFL" signs...

I have yet to visit any premesis that had music or tv volume, when someone asked for volume on the racing last week they were told it wasn't allowed. As for the rest of that post it makes no sense ! You are seriously losing the plot mate, you are visibly tipping over the edge over the last few weeks. What's the point, it doesn't influence anything. You either follow the advice or you chose not too with the acceptance that if you do it's simply prolonging the whole situation for everyone as the people of Aberdeen proved last weekend. Like it or loathe it NS is 100% clear that she will clamp down on any spikes with a declared intent to eliminate C19. You disagree, we all get that but there is nothing you or anyone else can do to alter that outwith an election which is a bit off yet. Whatever govt was incumbent when this struck was going to get stick from a certain (thankfully small) percentage who think it's all a hoax / over reaction but one of any govts primary functions is public safety and public health. You clearly feel that's unfair to you specifically but that says more about you than the govt, they have a public duty to do so, to protect EVERY life they can. If that means slightly inconveniencing some by imposing measures on how pubs operate it's not the end if the world as you and a few other on here seem to blow such things up to be.

Players involved should have exercised better judgement. My four year-old niece was able to accept that she couldn't have a birthday party because of coronavirus, so grown men have no excuse.

Conspiracy Theories Thread for this backward batshit fermer folklore pish.

Could you give a list of places where transmission has been recorded so we know where we don't have to bother with a mask?

nobody knew the extent to which the hospitals, ventilators and hospital beds would be required - inc UK and many other countries. Hospitals in northern Italy for example were overwhelmed. Scottish Government maintaining extra facilities in preparation for a potential second wave is a reasonable precaution - particularly after kitting it out in the first place. You claiming it is merely to look better than Westminster and for no other reason is quite a desperate assessment - one that only the most rabid would arrive at.

All the Tories coming in and claiming that the postponement was somehow some Sturgeon power related or political move is peak Old Firm whereaboutary paranoia nonsense. Get yourselves Tae f**k. You've got some windows to lick.

Aberdeen would probably do better with their Covid cases on the park tomorrow than Partick managed with the two squads and managers that you recruited at great expense last season. In fact they might well surpass your entire total of league wins in 2020 (zero, nil, none) while they're at it. Get back in your stupid, wee seaside league box then.

Aye they thought they'd cancel the game because "it'll take attention away from the SNP" Don't talk total shite.

This photo has been doing the rounds on Twitter, reportedly taken in a place called Budz Bar on Saturday night. Possibly a fake?

Because this isn't an accident (storm damage) or negligence (forgetting to switch on undersoil), this is wilful flouting of the rules under which football is being allowed to operate. Letting it pass without punishment would create a very dangerous precedent.

They are (supposedly) professional sportsmen FFS Craig. I can’t believe there are people sticking up for them. I completely agree with anyone who has a dig at players for being out in the piss after 1 game back, where the majority of the team looked off the pace and seriously unfit. During a pandemic, in a bar with clearly no social distancing AND to top it off breaking agreed protocol that jeopardises the season continuing, f**k me, some of you need to realise the seriousness of this.

My mate is looking for a place to live, he's a bit down on his luck as he losthis job in a builders yard in Musselburgh after someone accused him of mispricing lumber sold to Asians. The only thing is he's a massive bodybuilder who is rock solid and needs a lot of space for his steroids. Also, he's not real.

Amy MacDonald is a fucking idiot and her music is monumentally horseshit.

Could only happen in Scotland. We are the laughing stock of Europe.

> You: * Say something stupid * > People: "That's stupid" > You: "Aha, you all fell for my cleverly crafted ruse" > People: "No, you just looked stupid saying something stupid"

Should be an automatic 3-0 win to St Johnstone

Why should the fans of Hearts have to give 150k every month to keep the club that's sinking down the leagues afloat? That's crazy, they have enough season ticket holders and fans through the gates to be self sufficient without the need for fans pumping their money in and begging well off people for donations all done before the pandemic hit. What do you get for giving them the third biggest budget in our game, relegation. If you have beef with clubs and associations that's fine. Maybe though you should ask why the supporters that bad mouth every team who dont get 19k supporters every home game or who won't spend until the go into administration, why they don't feel the need to ask serious questions about the running of their own club. Third biggest budget and they're in the championship on merit. Failed season, failed Cos case, failed arbitration, failed reconstruction to save themselves, failed managers, poor signings and still their fans have been blindsided by their own board in to thinking everyone else is to blame.

You've obviously not followed him on Twitter. Him and Jim Spence have been perhaps the worst hit in terms of social media exposing them for the absolute clowns that they are.

Lads.....it was better than I thought it could ever be. What a wonderful golf course. The rough was quite thick in places and I found quite a lot of it. The greens were quick but in perfect condition. Went round in 92 blows which I’m delighted with. 3 pars on the scorecard and a birdie putt lipped out. I love this game

Who would be a politician. Cautious exit from lockdown: Boo, nanny state, stop killing the economy, wee Nippy making it all about her. Some dafties ruin in for everyone after getting down to f**k all cases: ffs shambles, how could Sturgeon let this happen!!!

Question 1: What are your thoughts on Hearts and Partick Thistle being relegated? Question 2: Who built the pyramids? Question 3: Mango on a pizza; yes or no? Question 4: What do think of Lewis Capaldi? Question 5: Who is your favourite TV chef?

Cannot wait for the absolute SCENESfest when McInnes tests positive and it turns out he's caught it shagging Ash Taylor's wife again. Will be like an episode of Dream Team.

The plaster in my bedroom looks perfectly flat. But when I shine my lamp on it at an acute angle you can see it's slightly concave. Wow I hear you say. But wait the the bulb in that lamp is Mazda 40W. Mazda named after Ahura Mazda "the lord of Wisdom". 40 as in 40 days and 40 nights. Have you seen the rain this week. It's perfectly clear to me my plasterer is an alien and has sent a warning. I've already ripped up my decking and am building an ark.

A rather surprising 10 for today, with guesswork playing a part in a couple but it should be enough to stave off relegation. Shame I couldn't hit such form in the cup ... sorry fellow sharks.

Not normally one for faux outrage but I'm absolutely fuming at these c***s this morning. Total embarrassment for the club and a big f**k you to fans who have ploughed money in over the summer.

But that wasn't the problem the poster has - it wasn't them catching covid which was his issue, it was the fact they dared to go out for a drink after losing a football match. In terms of Team Sky, I'd probably send my own cleaners in too if I had lots of vials of "asthma medication" lying around all the time which you wouldn't want an unsuspecting hotel maid to find.

Only an utter fucking idiot could consider being fined a success. I presume they also assume being stood up is a good date, pissing themselves a good way to go to the toilet and falling down stairs a good way to exit a building.

No doubt this post will get red-dotted by multiple people who think I stick up for the board on here, but my understanding is that the delay had nothing to do with them. Their only roles are to approve the financial expenditure, negotiate with the agent representing a player and then tell their mates as quickly as they possibly can afterwards. Which is why everything gets out. Albeit parts 2 and 3 aren't applicable to the whole board. I believe the delay was entirely down to his previous club. My sources for that are Aidan Keena himself and our football administrator, whose job it is to know the nuts and bolts of the transfer process. Sorry Bairnado, but it's not true.

Only looking for 1 goalkeeper now !

Harsh... but fair

Massive fine incoming. £2500

They were also given the privilege (and it is very much a privilege just now) of being able to resume their profession and earn a living. Hundreds of thousands of others would love that opportunity just now.

A tug on the leash was always going to be neccessary since it was obvious from day 1 that pubs etc would rip the pish. Consolidating where we are is the right thing to do, since more and more folk will behave like dicks if it's obvious there will be nonl repercussions.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone on a football forum who has treble the amount of posts on this thread than they do on the rest of this forum combined is a creepy b*****d.

That's not remotely true but don't let it get in the way of a good old negative rant. Thereisonlyfuckingdarkness. Fucking hell.

Would imagine the authorities haven't convinced the government that the risk has been mitigated. Either that or more positive cases. Either way, good work lads. Hope you enjoyed your night oot at fucking Soul.

Folk running football clubs can be a wee bit like referees, you only take notice when they're having a howler. But everyone involved in running East Fife over the last few years deserves a huge amount of credit.

Ahh that old chestnut; the "footballers are people too" line. Well here's what footballers are: Professional athletes Role models to young children Handsomely paid relative to the national average Judged purely on performance Backing players for being out in a bar after a defeat is part of the reason Scottish football is stuck in the dark ages. Backing anyone who was in, or responsible for allowing, that absolute clusterfuck in Soul last Saturday is as reprehensible as being part of it.

Even after losing to Rangers and having a postponed match, Aberdeen will still have more points at the end of the month than Hearts. <Perspective>

Well today is Carnoustie Day. Iv woke up pretty fucking nervous, il be a quivering wreck on the 1st tee. Hopefully play ok and I’m just going to go out and enjoy the walk around the famous course. The weather is perfect as well

On the flip side, people defending it to the death whether they are happy clappers or folk who are coming away with drivel such as “I went out last weekend, should I be reprimanded by my work!!!” Eh no pal, you’re not a fucking professional footballer who signed up to these new rules and broke them after the first fucking game The players fucked up I’m not looking for them to be hung at the Castlegate but a bit of fucking humility wouldn’t go amiss Idiots

Maybe you could close the gap through some kind of "Creative Accounting" scheme?
