There’s an old boy lives round the corner to me in one. Takes his dog out every day and everyone has a wee chat with him when they see him (mostly other dog walkers which is always a leveller). Fair play for cracking on and making the best of it. Can’t fathom the idea that having a mobility scooter could be seen as “bad”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re worse than that. I can’t actually see that you have much of an opinion on any of it. You’re far more interested in sneering at the thread and making yourself feel like you’re superior to people. It’s quite tragic really. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't about standing or sitting watching a game. For many it is about the social bond with other fans, a chance to socialise over a shared interest. For many fans this could be their only outlet. No football can mean no social interaction at all for some. But hey, football is clearly at the bottom of the social scale and must be stopped. This is absolutely it. To many fans -myself included - it's not just about watching the game, supporting the team, it's about socialising and being part of something bigger. I've been perhaps fortunate in that as an essential worker, I was able to speak to people face to face all the way through this, but there were dark times too. Sitting at home, watching a match being streamed from an empty stadium, sometimes made things feel worse - it brought home the reality of what was going on. I was able to come on here and Wap and join the discussion, but many wouldn't, where was their socialisation? Those putting down the mental health aspects seem to think football's just about the game, there's so much more to it than that. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The middle classes absolutely hate football supporters and see us all as bigoted vermin, regardless of whether you support the OF or not. The reaction isn’t surprising. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite tragic really. There is an attitude towards this thread all across the site, even from folk who come on and contribute to it. What they all have in common, is relentless defence of the SNP, and little in the way of evidence based opinion on the path/way out of the pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest there is a difference between looking at prose from government advisors etc that have a degree of influence on how our lives are being impacted, as opposed to becoming irritated at the words of anonymous posters on a Scottish Football forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
