Your reputation was dragged into the mud by Social Justice Minister, Humza Yousaf, MSP,on Twitter this morning. He wrote:
“On upcoming Celtic Vs Rangers match, we need clear messaging from everyone that fans must stay at home. If Police intelligence tells us, despite clear messaging, that groups of fans are going to gather to square off with each other, we need to consider if game should be postponed.”
“If Police intelligence tells us groups of fans are going to square off with each other” is his technique of throwing the blanket of blame over Celtic fans to prevent him addressing the threat of further social unrest head on. He feels safe saying adding “Celtic” instead of calling out the true problem. It is as spineless as it is unacceptable.
Be clear: there are absolutely no plans to postpone this game and there is no police intelligence that fans will square off. None. What there is, is a significant threat that the problems of last weekend are repeated on 21 March. As far as this SNP government is concerned, we dare not speak that problem’s name.
This has nothing to do with Celtic and nothing to do with Celtic fans but your government is happy to trash the reputation of both. He is toying with the reputation of the innocent and the occasionally vulnerable young. If a Celtic lad turned up wearing lipstick Yousaf’s head would explode.
A lead in the polls does not permit you a free kick at Celtic fans. Social Justice Minister, give me strength, you are contemptible.

setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox on 13th March 2021 9:16 pm
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Please forgive me if I sound like a know-it-all, but living in the North of Ireland for 60+ plus years has made ME believe that (as Martin Mc G) said, the securitats control everything. Too deep for a Saturday night, especially after working all week. I enjoyed the debate – but believe that Celtic are being set up – as they were in the totally misnamed ‘Game of Shame’ – such s@@t
My biggest argument aginst the covid armagedon is common sense
IF and its a big IF the virus was as lethal (I do not doubt there is a virus at large in the UK, its just been hyped to death) as the media would tell us then………….
Supermarket staff, would be decimated.
Bear with me here
When I go into a supermarket, I cough, pick my nose and touch all my shopping items (as do 1000’s of people every day)
Then I take them to the checkout peoples
And they then touch everything I have touched, coughed over and generally infected
And they see 100’s a day and 1000’s a month
Surely, being exposed to that level of contamination (remember this is a deadly virus) the poor peoples in the checkout would be checking out at alarming levels
But
Feck me if they are all healthy, and not dying/being infected by the bucketload
I would expect them to be bearing the brunt of this deadly virus
In the 6 months I have realised this, I can’t find anyone to out argue this point
These poor peoples are at the front line and should be dying/long covid’d out their poor faces
Tell me I am wrong?
Again I do not doubt the virus is here, I do not deny its killing people
Just not at the numbers we have been led to believe
Clunks!! Have had Covid, it was unpleasant, definitely would not trivialise it ! Getting vaccinated this wed !! Anyway bud that’s one of the best posts I have read on this anywhere!
Wishaw Tim
Agree, thanks for not jumping all over me and shouting me down.

‘Tell me I am wrong?’
###
You’re wrong.
Look at the age profile of those most likely to die of Covid.
Compare and contrast it with the age profile of supermarket workers.
Ernie
Agree
But flip the industry to bus drivers (mainly cash payments) and taxi drivers (again cash payments)
Are they dying/infected out of proprtion to society at large?
why would anyone pick their nose in a public place and handle fruit.
Cluncks, it is really really simple.
It is not about who drives the busess and work in the supermarkers (age wise/health wise safer) it is about who they pass the virus onto.
people are people and do these things (touch their nose/faces when itchy/uncomfortable out of habit)
I know I have put myself up here to get shot down, and I accept that
Just cant see why these people in customer facing industries are not getting massacred
Its just an observation, and kinda flies in the face of what we are led to believe

================
Again I agree with this
But statistically these people should be getting humped
Saint stivs ! Don’t know why The people pick thur nose and handle fruit! But the do !! Again well said clunks also why do halfwits think they have won 55 titles in t8 years!! Who knows
CLUNKS on 13TH MARCH 2021 11:44 PM
trying again.
it is not about the vulnarabilty of the 35 year old bus driver or 25 year old supermarket worker (god bless them all),
they will feel little infection or non at all.
it is about how their infection will spread to the more vunerablie.
we are one year into this pandemic, and still people dont understand what is happening.
Stivs
I agree
the general demographic of these industries is younger
But
Not exclusively
And neither are the deaths exclusive to the older generation either
Young people die, as well as older peoples
Am just not seeing it, in customer facing industry
trying again,
young customer facing bus driving till serving people might be infected but will not become ill from the virus, but they will pass it on to others,
they are young and strong.
they pass it on to older more vunerable people,
parents, , grand parents,
10,000 deaths in scotland so far.
try getting some context on it.
CLUNKS
WE have had a good few workers from supermarkets with COVID
40% deaths are from LTC homes.
big problem is one gets takes it home and there are four or five or more people in the house who are exposed.
It sure gets around fast, in Ontario we are back on an upward curve.
Canada is about 50th in the industrial world for vaccinations ,it wont do.
I am not talking about young bus driver or asymptomatic people in general~
these industries are not exclusive to young healthy people
what about the older people in these industries?
are they dying en masse??
This is my point
I agree that younger people pass this on
am not disputing or debating this
older people in customer facing industries seem to be a statistical anomaly in that they are not dying/infected out of the ordinary?
so have the uk politicians handled the covid situation well?
i think the answer to that is that we are basically still under 23 hours house arrest 1 year after it all started
so that is ridiculous for a supposidly free and democratic country
if this ever happens again i hope the politicians have a better plan
but they w9nt
Peace out
was an observation, nothing else
Hope everyone stays healthy
older people in customer facing industries seem to be a statistical anomaly in that they are not dying/infected out of the ordinary?

aff to bed,
thanks for that stivs

To finish it with a “what you on tonight” comment (defo have tried to be polite and affable as I know this is a hugely polarising topic) says more about you than it does me
Hail hail

Have a good look at the ‘Deaths within 28 days of positive test by date of death age demographics’ part of this.
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths?areaType=nation%26areaName=England
By and large people of working age don’t die of covid. But they catch it and spread it to those who die of it.
Having said that didn’t two Tesco workers in Greenock die of it?
marvin hagler rip.

what i would say about the politicians –
when Boris has had to announce major restrictions on peoples freedoms down in south brit land – he really sounds like it goes against everything he believes in so he hates doing it
i dont get that feeling with nicola
she seems to have enjoyed her 15 minutes of dictatorship

but if you are wanting celtic memory
i watched earlier robbie keanes hat trick at kilmarnock
a game i was at obviously
not sure that satisfys your point
Ernie,
the greenock tesco workers comment was beyond the pail.

To observe that post-2012 Celtic decided to accept a rigged game ‘seems to me a matter of fact, not opinion. Unless anyone on here, in the face of all available evidence, believes the game in this country is clean?
Thereafter I accept discerning motives for this strategy takes us into the realms of conjecture. Some seem to argue we had no choice. I argue we made a deliberate choice that served the interests of some (not the fans).
===============================
The extent gone to to cover up what they accepted over the 7 years since Res12 was adjourned and ignore evidence provided is a factor that I think supports your conclusion that a deliberate choice was made that the fans would not approve of. Hence the need for what is still an ongoing pretence and cover up.
Now if they were to act on their undertaking under Res11 at last AGM (that a small group of shareholders worked their asses off to get table) to engage with relevant authorities that would be a signal the pretence has ended.
With one tweet saying “Talks with SFA and UEFA are underway to restore trust broken out of what was viewed as commercial necessity in 2012 ” that would lift the burden of renewal choice from ST holders (if such a statement were believed and who wouldn’t want to?

It sure gets around fast, in Ontario we are back on an upward curve. Canada is about 50th in the industrial world for vaccinations, it won’t do.
*Sir William Osler, 1st Baronet was a Canadian physician and one of the four founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Osler created the first residency program for specialty training of physicians, and he was the first to bring medical students out of the lecture hall for bedside clinical training.
He has frequently been described as the Father of Modern Medicine and one of the “greatest diagnosticians ever to wield a stethoscope” and also wrote the training manual for incoming students that is used in Unis world wide including Edinburgh and Glasgow.
He was born in Bond Head Ontario which is on Highway 27 north of Highway 9.
Sir Frederick Grant Banting was a Canadian medical scientist, physician, painter, and Nobel laureate noted as the co-discoverer of insulin and its therapeutic potential. In 1923, Banting received the Nobel Prize in Medicine
He was born about 20 minutes up the road fae Osler in Alliston Ontario.
Yet here we are living in the same part of the world as these great men and still waiting for our vaccinations, I blame that useless fat trump wannabe.
