So what’s the point of holding a grudge?… Aye, like they've changed their fanbase too. Fuckem! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budge - done Cash as always You're correct , but I wonder how the players he now expects to give their all for him feel having been forced to take a wage cut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club will run with reduced squads - reduced wages or a mix of both. Could be some interesting signings on the horizon ! I still believe there will be crowds in grounds by October. If Australia is an example, and I accept it might not be but it's all I've got , then we currently have 25% capacity and stadiums in Queensland & NSW and 50% in South Australia (27,000 for the Adelaide Oval) with Western Australia hoping to go beyond that from July 18th. October is over 3 months away - unless the UK makes an absolute mess of lifting the restrictions & folks ignore the new rules I cannot see how crowds can't be back by then in some form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdown has been a joke, in case you haven't noticed. The government have been pathetic, "advising" this, "suggesting" that. Police catching groups breaking the lockdown have been "encouraging" people to go home. One of the highest death rates in the world because folk ignore the rules and the state is too gutless to enforce them. I can see the season re-starting then stopping when the second wave hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 BTW, I read somewhere that Neilson was kept on a short leash at Utd, not really allowed full control of signings. It's quite possible he's getting more freedom at Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, despite all these folk apparently ignoring the rules, the spread of infection continues to fall. The majority of folk are following the rules as closely as possible. You’re always going to have people who decide they don’t apply to them but it is the minority. Not saying we won’t see another rise in cases - that’s inevitable - but I agree that as long as the majority continue to follow the advice most of the time, the situation will continue to improve. Not defending the government’s handling of this in any way I hasten to add. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Anyone who can possibly stick up for the "governance" at UK level just now is clearly not paying attention, or should be examined for saftness in the heid. Gargantuan excess deaths? Ignoring scientific advice? Vast amounts of public money wasted on non existent apps? PPE ordering scandals? Too little too late actions on people entering the country? CUMMINGS!!!? Nonsensical parliamentary procedures? Treatment of medical students who risked their lives? School meals? Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, and on and on and on. And the LIES!! Constant, transparent LIES. What about schools? The neo-fascist newspapers were gasping for them to be opened. Now JS has said they should. What's the problem? Schools have now got to complete their blended learning plans as a back up for when/if the 2nd wave hits. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools have now got to complete their blended learning plans as a back up for when/if the 2nd wave hits. Both governments have been a disaster- sending thousands of patients from hospitals into care homes without testing them was unforgivable and was a decision made solely by the Scottish Government. Equally the decision to stop contact tracing in March. And remember NS was more than happy for the old firm match to go ahead in March and said large gatherings had ‘no significant impact’ on spreading the virus. Over 4000 deaths in a country of 5 million is certainly not a good outcome! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) The SG have by no means been perfect here, for example I am dying to hear what caused JS's sudden turnaround in advice regarding full opening of schools. Bear in mind it could be reversed at a stroke if things don't improve enough. Point taken re care homes too, but as most of them are privately owned, and some (think Skye) had previously been warned about bad hygiene by the Care Commission they must bear the brunt themselves. I'd actually criticise the SG for not being tough enough on those profiting wildly from old people's care. But the point still stands. Mistakes have been made, but in comparison, we're miles ahead.
