Seen that earlier. Fucks me off. The notion that football fans in Stadiums is outrageous but going to packed pubs to watch the same football game you'd attend in-person isn't nor is watching football in a cinema.

Just shows they are making this up as they go in some scenarios. It isn't an easy situation, and a real balance has to be found, but there are glaring inconsistencies all over. Players being selfish and irresponsible doesn't help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 There’s no doubt the players broke the rules but maybe it’s time we took a look at the policy. Its completely nonsensical. Here in Scotland there have been no deaths for a few weeks and for anyone up to around 60 who’s in reasonable shape, you’ve as much chance of dying from COVID as being struck by lightning. As this goes on, extra deaths from people not getting proper NHS treatment are piling up, cancers not being diagnosed, heart disease being ignored, you name it. We also see unemployment ratcheting up, poverty increasing, education being lost, the population being muzzled,the whole fabric of society being destroyed for what???? Im probably in a minority of one but I fail to see the logic in this. Sturgeon keeps banging on about eliminating the virus but the best that can be hoped for is containment and learning to live with it. This current policy is madness and will do nothing other can condemn thousands to the scrap heap, destroy our liberties through needless muzzling , ruin society and increase illness and disease of the non COVID variety.This is nonsense.I follow baseball, there's a pitcher who contracted covid, he's out for a minimum of the season and potentially will never play again due to developing a heart condition related to it. At a minimum he's expected to have to undergo heart surgery. People acting like its f**k all are talking from a place of wilful ignorance. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 48 minutes ago, HibsFan said: Please could someone, step by step, explaining the benefits of pausing the league, because I’m totally lost here otherwise. If the league is paused, players will continue to be paid, and in fact have more free time and even less responsibility to flout COVID restrictions. Apart from the “show the troublemakers we’re serious by punishing the lot of them” line - which is something from a P2 teacher’s playbook - what good reason is there to pause the league? Because it looks to the casual observer like the government is "taking action" and "making tough choices". Any government's response to anything is 80% PR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I didn't actually see the photo in question just that they were "all out" together, quantity undefined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball is the perfect example of how the whole schedule for the season can fall apart. Cardinals have still only played 5 games after positive tests, so are already not going to be able to complete the 60-game season. Still kind of astonished MLB is attempting to keep going. SPFL need to draw up plans for how many of the games need to be completed to make the season "valid" as this will only get worse even if clubs stick to the agreed rules 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs to be known that it is a crime and it comes with consequences if you happen to be caught. Well no it isn't actually 'a crime' and the consequences should be no greater than they would be for an ordinary member of the public, which is to say none at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't just hammer the Aberdeen players because they were the ones that got "caught" so to speak. T By that logic, no-one should ever be punished for anything. The Yorkshire Ripper was just the one who got caught .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By caught I meant "caught out" because of the Aberdeen outbreak, not caught as in people actually noticing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Surely the argument from the SG about pausing the games will be based on them agreeing a set of rules for football to restart, and the clubs obviously failing to get the players to buy-in to what was required? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is. If it wasn't a crime, then the police wouldn't have been granted the powers to enforce the regulations.

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Absolute melts wanting the football cancelled. Bolingoli is obviously an idiot and deserves punishment but he hasn't even tested positive. There is still community transmission in Scotland and the testing strategy was put in place with the acceptance that some players/staff might contract corona. Teams are still implementing some social distancing outside of contact training to reduce any potential spread. Players not allowed to travel in cars together, few players in a changing room at a time, wearing masks even when sitting in an outdoor stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people then have been prosecuted for the crime of 'meeting people from more than four households in a day' in 2020 so far? Be extremely specific. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Interesting Jason Leitch just said for schools that any puil with symptoms has to get a test. On a test coming back negative they can immediately return to school and their family no longer have to self isolate. So surely Bolingoli has a negative test then it is no harm done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
