Sherrif John Bunnell Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 5 minutes ago, Jan Vojáček said: His piece the other week comparing the Taliban to the SNP because he's barred from WDC meetings was the most 'old man yells at cloud' thing I think I've ever seen. Do these Afghan families think they have it tough under the Taliban? Try being barred from Church Street and the council HQ Anyway. That was totally off topic. As you were everyone. I appreciate his awful attempt to write this in the same style as a Private Eye story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 There will be people who've bought a season ticket but won't be able to go to games because they've not had both vaccines are the SG going to reimburse these people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I know a few people who are certainly not anti vax but who havent had the vaccine. Probably scare stories by the media about blood clots in the younger generation didnt help the case. Lisa Shaw is a prime example, relatively young fit and someone who would still have been here if she hadnt took the vaccine. My mum isnt anti vax but she says she wont be taking a booster if A - its mixed in with the flu jag and B - if it's something other than AZ which she got. Branding everyone who refuses to take the vaccine or finds vaccine passports disgusting as anti vax is a fallacy I think you will find I made that very point in my initial response. It's not designed to be a Covid mitigation it's simply a vaccine take up mechanism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A facebook page with 2k follower and also about 8k twitter followers. A complete non-entity of an organisation. The fact that these people have been quoted for their support is fucking hilarious.

And absolutely no mention that being double dosed can still mean you can catch covid. So much for their "strong public health action to protect our wider community".

I’m not sure a football fans group speaks for the ordinary Scottish football fan - I don’t know anyone that would even contemplate joining something like that! Though, membership wise they are trying to say a large percentage of Scottish fans are members... which I find baffling! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a deeper look they have 30k individual members of which only 50% could be said to attend football regularly. They hardly speak for any kind of majority in fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably coincides with the English school return rise and hence might well happen. Don't think the lower leagues adopted it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a bit of a geek when it comes to things like the legalities of embassies and UN sites etc, loads of good videos on youtube. But to answer your question i believe alcohol will be freely available in all the hotels in the site. Pretty sure hotel bars can be open for residents 24/7 anyway? Yeh I find it all fascinating, wonder if anyone will be smoking inside the kind of things you wouldn't think about in Britain but I'm sure it's common place elsewhere. Hotels can serve drink to residents round the clock yeh, but was hoping a wee shop would open for the delegates just to add to the quirkiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you signed up for their emails they count you as a member, might be the same for followers on their social media accounts. I'm sure they formed after they fell out with Supporters Direct which is closely (too closely imo) linked with the SFA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
