With Coronavirus cases rising across Scotland, those in the game will be anxious about their anticipated plans for some fans to be in attendance at games this weekend. Ross County hope to have around 500 at their game against Celtic on Saturday, two weeks after the Scottish Government allowed rugby to run similar tests.
There are many things we need to learn. How long will it take to process fans entering a stadium and which club has the most effective method? We need to know how fans who have travelled for hours will react when told their temperature is too high to allow entry. Will fans observe social distancing and how safely can this be enforced by stewarding?
The need for information is great and one iteration of learning will not be enough. When safe, we should be testing often.
Allowing test events for a few hundred fans at open air football games has to be among the safest activities available in the country. There is zero scientific reason for preventing them and many valid reasons to hold them, but this is all about signals and how to effectively govern the population. Football is a political football (sorry). It does not have the political clout of the drinks industry, or even rugby, for that matter, or some would have been watching football from the safe outdoors weeks ago.

A bit late 😂
Yes Gene..but ten minutes!!!!
Big Packy – given that the average age on here is at least 150 {wee BGFC excluded) we all remember, very fondly, The Jungle.
Many’s a case of lager and the odd bottle we shared in there – reasearch purposes only, of course😀
Found it on Google maps – the current street view had a boys face on that wall
What happened to the kev jungle money
JINKYREDSTAR, i might have been standing next to you 🤩🤩

BR filled the LL Upper playing these teams.
FMcC built a new stadium playing these teams.
Look where we are even though we are badly run.
Remove the bonus “hunter” and we are well on our way.
We have a future to find and it isn’t to be found staring at our shoes.

VSTs are the way forward – no need for stadia , fans traveling etc You heard it here first

The Danes by far the better team.
Deserve to be ahead, though still 0-0 ht.
Fancy Denmark to win.
England look as clueless as Scotland last night.

Watching cricket – Aussie’s could throw this away again

Haven’t watched a game of cricket ever in my life. Only sport I can say that about.
Grew up 100yards from West of Scotland Cricket Club Partick too.
DD
Visited my great aunt in chancellor st every Saturday – my dad took us to the WOS
G-Thang,
Give me something to Mind Dance to.

Yer most Favourite Radiohead track Please.

My mate got married in register office near Kelvingrove and then at the cricket club 20 years ago. I hadn’t known either place and expected a place like John St and an old pavilion.
Turns out the ref office is the old Italian embassy and beautiful and the cricket club was a great venue
DD – I played Cricket and can’t stand watching it!
Croatia just scored a great individual goal v france
oh btw Test Match cricket isnae that bad.
The One Day stuff is too rushed.
When you factor in the smug Home Counties empire building commentators TV cricket is painful.
I loved it when I was wee, went from the wicket being a lamppost to a real grass affair at fort matilda- but watching it and communing with the folk who organise it- torture.
International football is utter pish
Belgium battering Iceland, nice finish for fourth.
Greenpinata
You are most welcome 👍😁🍀

Should.watch the Belgians; another belter of a goal
On the stadium stuff, I recall waiting in a massive queue outside celtic park for hours to purchase a season book and got talking to a guy who said we would never fill it, to big etc etc. Turns out he was wrong and size does count in football 🤣 more supporters more revenue more spend.
I dont think increasing the stadium capacity would stop supporters from buying season tickets, it would encourage more people in. More floor space, capacity, better access for disabled, sensory rooms toilets cafe etc. is a good way of adding and improving.
Even at 50 million your gonna get a reasonably quick return (5 years). It would pay for itself. Loan/ mortgage would proberbly cost less than a yearly Bayo 😁

Australia win but not without the odd scare
Build it they will come…..only if there isnae a pandemic of course.
D :)
I think when we do the 10 Peter Lawwell will call it a day, a great way to go out. New broom will come in with new ideas, but, it doesn’t matter, Celtic PLC is the Dermot Desmond show, but, who knows, maybe he’ll go also at the end of the season to secure that he’s remembered for the 10! I know nothing about the football ambitions for Celtic that his son has, I’m assuming DD will give him his shares, or, more likely, sell them to him :), and then maybe, just maybe, Train will sell his shareholding, and we go down the road of improving our status in Europe. A lot of stones needing turned for all that to happen, but you never know, por cierto.
Denmark 0-0 England , did I miss anything
Gene & Coneybhoy
My 21st birthday party was in WOS cricket club. Great venue. Mental night. 😊
If they’re improving the stadium, they want to put hot water in the toilets in the North Stand before they do anything else. Then they want to improve the food and drink (non-alcoholic, of course) outlets.
Tune for Petec and Birthday Bhoy Aidan.
Think A will like this Radiohead track.

People are dreaming about stadium upgrade. The place is a mess.
The ground away from the Celtic Way is rutted and puddles form when its raining.
Having watched the virtual games not even a lick of paint has been applied.
The board don’t wander far from the front doors it seems :-(
Hail Hail.
Petec
My favourite Radiohead track. This week. 😜
This is near musical perfection. Genius track.
