Football protocols above and beyond NHS

279

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.

    “I’ve made no such promise of instant nirvana. ”

     

     

     

    Nor were you accused of doing so.

     

     

    The accusation was one of crossing the road to take offence at suggestions we will face a lengthy period of further financail austerity. A triple hit- adding to the curent Brexit austeity and the Covid austerity with a further round of divorce payments.

     

     

    Do you agree that the message of Independence should be more economically honest? Why is it not?

     

     

    You can choose to answer these (or not) on a non match day.

     

     

    Now 4:4:2 or 4:2:3:1 or 3:5:2 for Riga?

  2. I don’t think Broon is completely finished like some. Even when he has a decent game he has his boo bhoys coming after him.

     

     

    I give him pass marks for every game this season apart from the last two. I felt the game passed him by a bit against Livingston & St Mirren. (I’d include the Killie game as well but I think it’s fair to say we were rotten to a man)

     

     

    Maybe he needs a rest.

    My opinion, note opinion, of you is based upon your posting style and content.

     

    Nothing whatsoever to do with my politics which you know nothing about.

     

    Is this helping you?

     

    Its very strange for me, for all I know your a bot.

    Briefly, my gripe (which I suspect you’ll share) is the dearth of constructive and realistic discussions of this issue.

  5. BOURNE – your team selection both makes sense and has a realistic likelihood. Proper line-up in yet ?

     

     

    I only hope we don’t start so slow that Riga Mortis quickly sets in.

     

    There’s tomorrow headline if we get stiffed by the Latvians – redtop subbies will be all over that.

     

    Or, if we pick the lock of a packed defence: ‘Riga Mortice’.

    At what stage in the history of Celtic did it become de rigeuer for the Clubs’s Scottish fans to support Scottish nationalism?

     

     

    There must be generations of fans spinning in their graves or at least shaking their heads in bemusement at the assumption.

     

     

    at what stage was it Labour voting mass? ever? maybe socialist but never ever an arse licker of any union like your good self

     

    maybe you are correct and the nodding donkeys who drone like would vote labour trustfully,without even knowin who or what they were voting for.

     

    then along came the war criminal and ruperts right hand…..man

     

    more tory than the tories

     

    who’d a thunk it?

     

     

    stay within all tory spending limits

     

     

    not one repeal of any anti labour legislation

     

     

    pfi

     

     

    all sanctioned by rupert

     

     

    yeh the people of pollok are all middle class now as the confused war criminal would say

     

     

    not even mentioned bank bailout how very socialist
