Lyle Lanley Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The thought of being able to watch Hibs in the group stages of the Europa League/Conference League has me excited. Of course if we don't f**k up our league position before the end of season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Tomorrow will be very interesting depending on what NS lays out for Scotland. She did suggest this afternoon that she had been briefed on Johnson's plans and that ours were broadly similar. I don't want to get my hopes up, I suspect she'll still push for "zero covid", so I expect it will largely be the same things but on a much more spread out scale. What I do think will happen though, on the back of today's news, is that impact of vaccinations will kick in throughout the easing. As many have said, if Sturgeon is true to her word she should be sticking to the data as a guide and not being influenced by advisers who may be pouting that their advice is being ignored. If, and that's a big if, she does this then we should be matching England's loosening of restrictions. The fact that Johnson has ruled out zero-covid means that we won't be able to achieve it, for exactly the same reason that Micheál Martin and Leo Varadkar ruled it out in Ireland. NS didn't want to forcibly close the border last summer and I doubt she would have anywhere near the same justification to do so this time round, if the vaccines continue to work as they are showing that they are. Whether Leitch, Sridhar or even Sturgeon like it or not, it's no longer a viable option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernardblack Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 It’s unfortunately lose-lose for Nicola tomorrow. If she follows the big bumbling posh daft lad who I wouldn’t trust with a pair of scissors....and it doesn’t work out then she wasn’t strict enough. If she doesn’t match it or ease restrictions quicker then it’s her holding us back. A truly unenviable position for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 1 hour ago, Todd_is_God said: So no foreign holidays until we've offered everyone the vaccine. That's pretty much what people on here have been suggesting might / should be the case. Maybe people should be able to travel before then if they have been vaccinated / quarantine on return. But they are going to wait a bit to see more real world results before making that decision i'd say. I think it's more about public attitudes than safety. Pensioners swanning off abroad while key workers are stuck in the UK isn't going to go down well. There would be no chance of compliance on future emergency lockdowns if that had happened. It would also create a fairly unpleasant scramble for the vaccine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing more realism and pragmatism from the party I have hated all my life, compared with the party I have supported all my life, is troubling to say the least - and depressing in equal measure. Bar an admission ZC is impossible there was nothing else remotely realistic in a word the buffoon said. Do you really think those dates are at all achievable ? If you remove the obsession with getting cases as low as possible, then yes, tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The border issue, coupled witht he fact that Boris has now effectively let the cat out the bag re putting faith in the vaccines and correctly so. The people of Scotland aren't going to sit back and have no lives whilst rUK gets back to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Social distancing isn't in the law anyway (except that businesses have to ensure their premises are COVID secure compliant). The 2 metre rule etc is guidance for individuals.Haw sir, yesterday I’m calling you a c**t and now i need to agree with you, playin at !Beat me to it, there is no law requiring you to stay 2 meters apart from anyone. It only becomes law when premises must use it decide on capacity limits and seating layouts I don’t think the guidelines or capacity limits will be automatically dropped when they reach the final stage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 JL on Radio Scotland saying zero Covid is unlikely for a long, long, long time. But then adding that it's still something the world should aim for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They quoted about 500/600 when press and SRU staff were factored in, more likely about 300/400 fans and yeah they were in one small section. I dont know why they even bothered 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should there be? By then the most vulnerable will have had their two vaccine doses. Absolute wild that restrictions were brought in to prevent the NHS being "overwhelmed" yet now seem to be in place to stop anyone getting Covid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each one desperately needs the other to f**k up disastrously whilst also making sure they don’t do so themselves If sturgeon keeps us locked down while they open up, there won’t be a resurgence of cases here but thats the only guarantee. If there is a surge in England that forces boris to backpedal then her gambles paid off and she looks the competent oneIf there isn’t then she sacrificed alot for nothing and won’t be popular as patience will finally run out- but that won’t affect her election prospects 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
