    Having never taken a test how does this work?

    Do you do the test at home and upload the result or do you have to get a test done at a test site and get an official result that way?

    If it's the former then surely most didn't bother and said they were negative?

    It's more likely they have come into contact with the virus on trains, busses and in pubs etc.

    I see the media etc still struggle to grasp that someone who's immune system has recently swatted covid aside will still have detectable viral fragments in their system. They are not infected, or infectious.

    Thankfully, the UK Gov (and even NS) appear to have moved on from worrying about 'cases' and are firmly focused on the arse-shoeing that the vaccines dish out to the virus.

    Or they caught it at the game, after or on the way home.

    Agreed on all of these - all I was saying is that it was possible people were positive as they went into the stadium despite previous negative test. I agree its highly unlikely that Wembley itself was a large breeding ground for it.

     

    The process was that you conducted the test at home, and it displays a result as 1 or 2 lines on the front (a bit like a pregnancy test, except without the pish). Each test has a QR code on it - you scan the QR code and enter your results online. NHS then send you an email/text showing you have taken a negative test. There's absolutely nothing to stop someone ripping open a test, scanning it & entering a negative result within 30 seconds - so again positive cases could have been transported into the stadium this way potentially.

    Breaking…..shocking news that 2000 cases have been linked to football matches including 397 who were inside Wembley (let’s ignore that they had to prove negative before they got in there so that’s a load of shite).

    Let the gnashing of teeth and threats to football commence.


    Alternative query, considering we’ve been around 2k cases a day for well over a week, how many of them were linked with places like schools?

    I agree but for Wembley the test had to be done within 48h of kick off, so it is possible some people contracted it in that time period. Still a load of nonsense anyway.

    Ah maybe it was the Govt reducing their % .  I was only half listening.

    Yep Govt contribution drops to 70% from tomorrow, employer has to contribute 10% make the wages up to 80%. Believe it changes to 60/20 from 1st August and stays same til end of September.

    Did you try saying the same words but really slowly and really loudly, turning midway through to get your mates attention so that he can laugh along?

    I believe that's popular in some places.

    And if that fails perhaps try the England-fan-abroad approach and lob some patio furniture about?

  5. Some daft bints are sharing a Daily Record story about two "terrified mums" who were allegedly followed about a couple of supermarkets in the Central belt by "middle eastern-looking" men who were staring at their children.

    The thing is that if you read the article, it's basically making national news/hysteria out of when you bump into someone you know in the shops and then awkwardly have to say hi every 5 minutes as you pass each other in every fucking aisle.

    Another guy on my facebook commented that it's basically an article about two Asian men going for their messages.

  6. Every country should be forced to enter somebody into every event, just for the boxing if nothing else which would be entertaining to watch Bob from the pub in Tuvalu getting thrown into the ring with some of the world's finest.

    Now THAT I would pay good money to watch. Hell, I'd even volunteer to compete in some of the events after a few sherberts on a Saturday afternoon.
