Are you proposing folk should be hostile towards him because something he said he would look into was probably too difficult/ expensive to achieve. Can you imagine the outrage on here if the money had been spent changing Scotland's licensing laws to allow 15/20 extra for one game of rugby? It would rightly be criticised. If doesn't matter if you like him or not he's worked his bollocks off since the start of the pandemic and is making no decisions that's not his job. Thinly veiled threats don't help anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all of the things that you claim were correct then he shouldn't have spouted his mouth off about 'asking the guys' to fix it then. But that would require Clownshoes Leitch to avoid seizing a spotlight and trying to ingratiate himself to the guid fitba men (see also his toe-curling run on Off the Ball). He's an utter gobshite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be great if what you're suggesting is true though, but I'm not sure I'd be running at it with 100% confidence, and there's no wya any govt would make decisions based on a hunch. Lol wut You must have been living in an alternate universe to the dartboard approach to imposing measures that has actually prevailed in the UK since February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, completely stupid remark. He expects to be taken seriously but then a suggests a rule he advised on can be rescinded by "asking the guys". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I was driving thru central Edinburgh last night (Then thru Linlithgow as the M9 was shut) and I can now much more fully understand how hospitality increases the spread. Wasn't in any pubs/restaurants, but repeatedly saw people outside waiting for taxis, having a smoke etc, cuddling/hugging each other, high fiving, shaking hands, all that sort of usual behaviour. Couple of drinks, any notions of social distancing goes. Maybe not inside, but once out on the street where there are no obvious reminders of guidance of how to behave safely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, agree, but those people are most likely to be the ones spreading the virus and making life harder for everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thankful avoided the run of Off the Ball, I'm not sure Tam understands how cutlery works so trying to explain a global pandemic to him and presumably take questions off him requires a level of patience (and stupidity) that I don't have. 19 minutes ago, Marshmallo said: I meant "allowed to walk down the street without being questioned" but can see how my post could be misconstrued, so I'll edit it. I'm sure he would welcome that but all I can presume is elected officials have said no.

This is mental behaviour, can you imagine the financial and reputational hit a company would take if it came out that they had an outbreak because they told folk not to identify colleagues. The fines for doing so should be enormous unless National Security is involved then of course it's justified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
