In the first and almost certainly only time I’ll ever quote Motherwell manager, Stephen Robinson, the Motherwell manager said, “”The protocols [football has]adhered to are above and beyond anything else, it’s above the NHS frontline staff.
“And football can give respite from the mental health side of things. In a world where things are complicated and strange, football can be that relieving factor, that little bit of joy and happiness.”
But holding test events? Testing is anathema to governments in Edinburgh and London, where superstition is the route followed by our governing twins. Instead, they open the pubs for fans to congregate indoors, untested and without any chance of proper supervision. There is no scientific evidence for this preference, in fact, this choice goes against all evidence. Football is the most prepared industry in the country to allow staff and public to participate, as Stephen Robinson said, more so than the NHS, but your governments chose differently.

It’s all about opinions or beliefs
Last night on Scotland Today, I’m sure I heard the Motherwell manager saying that team’s in the bottom six are/will struggle without cash coming in from gate’s.
the gate’s. Sorry about that.
SOUTH OF TUNIS
I am convinced there were a couple of posts from him yesterday but now I cannot find them, really strange.
Hope I was corrrect but apologies if I misled anyone. I was certain
Sorry

The other question is will the other leagues actually start with no gate money
I would have more confidence in Stephen Robinson’s assurances about football and it’s protocols if he hadn’t allowed his players to go onto the pitch at Ibrox in the pre-season friendly when earlier in the day a Rangers XI had played Dundee United without knowing the outcome of the tests the Rangers players had taken. If the Motherwell manager had no knowledge of what happened earlier in the day why did he not take account of it before speaking to the media?
GENE, it’s so confusing.
King Lubo. Scrolled back myself no sign of any posts. A lot of people are worried about South of Tunis, if he did post I reckon it would have been widely flagged.
Is it possible that the club’s at the bottom half of the league could find themselves in financial difficulties without fan’s paying cash at the gate’s?
Bhoys and Bhoyesses, Paul has already tried on a few occasions, using more than the original email log-in, to contact SOT, but no response. That’s why I was so animated when KINGLUBO put up his post. Worrying as feck the lack of activity from SOT. Don’t know if his signora would think/could be bothered to post an update on the blog if she even considered it.

Excellent news about your wife.
Good to hear about your experience of Victoria Hospital Kirkcaldy. Had many happy years employed there. God bless.
Wonderful news Burnley, delighted for both of ye.
Midfield Shied, I reckon a few Clubs could be in difficulty and maybe some not in the bottom half.
Emerald, It is very worrying when a regular Poster just suddenly disappears from site.
Ghuys can have enough & leave but most would continue to lurk.
If SOT is lurking you would imagine he would see people are genuinely concerned and would even post a one liner to say he was OK.
Corkcelt agreed about SOT
Burnley great news for you and especially your wife.
Night all
The Molde- Ferencvaros game is very entertaining. Now 2-2. Still advantage Hungarians, despite losing 2-0 lead.
Burnley’s- Fantastic news🙏🍀🙏
Hail Hail

BURNLEY67 – and please forgive me for missing the much more important point – I was typing at the time :-))
Anyway – congratulations to you and your wife for her good news – delighted for you. In fact “good” is far too small a word – amazing, fantastic, incredibly relieving, life changing would be better.
Really delighted for you and your family.

As a back of the fag packet calculation:
1. Their are 10 clubs in the SPFL who would normally expect 2 home games against Celtic and also newco
2. Both clubs would take approx 5000 fans to each of the other SPFL grounds (might be more, might be less)
3. These fans would spend approx 40 pounds each for the ticket and maybe some food at the ground.
4. If correct, each of these clubs is looking at a loss of around 800k in gate money just from us and them.
5. Each club will host approx 14-15 more home games. Maybe an average of 500 visiting fans at each game? So 500 x 40 = 20k per game x 15 games = 300k.
So a rough and ready figure would be lost gate revenue of around 1.1 million per club.
If that is a reasonable calculation (and it might not be, I am no mathematician) then a bail out package of around 10-15 million should see the SPFL through this season. With a much smaller figure required for the other divisions. Not a great deal in the grand scheme of things.
Assumption – Celtic and newco are losing very little in gate money due to both having sold out all season tickets.
Gets better. 3-2 Molde with penalty to Ferencevaros coming up.
3-3 Molde – Ferencvaros 86 minutes.
Burnley 78.
Great news for your whole family.
Cheers and HH.
Burnley, fantastic news for you and your better half. Plus, recognise exactly your praise of our amazing, wonderful NHS staff who do so much through their genuine vocation (which so many merchant bankers could not even spell) Heartfelt support for you and your wife!

My sentiments exactly. Can’t believe he would not have appeared to tell us he is fed up with the merde on the site and then feck off. Having discoursed with him on here a fair few times over the years I am quite upset about him/this.

If the tests were in the 90% plus positive and not 90% plus false positive I would be more inclined to believe what I am told by the media.
As I said the CDC were and still are IMO the site that tells it like it is, they have confirmed that there are approx 10K deaths in the US from C-19 alone, that is without any other underlying issues, they have also stated that the test rate is showing a 90% false positive, now that is totally against the MSM agenda, the MSM that are owned and controlled by people with their own agenda, and that agenda is money and control.
George Floyd was an official C-19 death BTW.
I have never denied there is a virus, not once, I have said what the government sites are saying, if people actually look, that the survival rate is over 97.7%, even with people who have underlying issues, that is huge, so why the panic ? unless there is serious money at the core, the vaccines, Gates stands to make squillions from the vaccines, see if people actually did a little digging on him they would be shocked, but they don’t so he is the hero, an unelected eugenicist who stands to make serious money from this, research him and not from people who he funds, that will be hard right enough as he funds just about everyone who has their fingers in the pies, but there are a few who don’t have an agenda and they tell the truth, the The Corbett Report for one.
They don’t shut the world down for the flu, the flu that has virtually the same figures, or Malaria that is much worse, I could go on and on about things that are killing far more people than this virus so why the fear ?
Football is finished as we know it, the sooner people can see that the better, sport is not part of their future, and that is my opinion.

Saint Stivs,
Wee geography lesson for you bud, Bobby’s statue is in Saltcoats just a wee bit south of Ard-rossan . Was there today on my way to the best bakery in the country . Geography was 1 subject I did enjoy when I could be bothered staying after registration class.

Hi TET – can you post a link to that CDC infirmation (90% false positivity rate) so I can check what they say please? Interested if that’s correct.
Also – please see earlier reply re: proportion in general popn (older age groups) with no underlying conditions (there aren’t that many, as a few on here will testify 😁). You really need to look at the covid rates associated with other conditions with that background in mind.
The reporting of what is a ‘covid death’ does throw up anomalies depending on how that is calculated / defined – bang on with that example (didn’t know that!).
However, a definition – such as death within 28 days post-lab-confirmed covid-19 diagnosis with covid on death cert as main or associated cause – is fairly good.
There are always anomalies with definitions of disease/cause of death. It is not always clear, particularly if there are multiple things going on with a patient’s health – there can be poor coding, misdiagnosis, inconsistent assessment of what goes first or second on death certificate, etc.
However, you need to look at the generality of this – some outliers in terms of definition (killed by police within 28 days post-diagnosis, walked in front of a bus within 28 days post-diagnosis, etc.) are clearly not covid-deaths by any sensible interpretation.
Nor should they, however, be held up as evidence that the underlying numbers are seriously flawed. You would have to find plausible, systematic issues with the definition, or how cases are matched to the definition, to seriously undermine the outcome (which can happen).
Anyway – I do appreciate your reply.
You stay well, and best wishes from me and mine.

And so the farcical descent continues unabated.

If the Monty Python script writing team had come up with this they would have thought “no – this goes too far even for us” and binned it.
