Here’s what we’re picking out of the covid tombola of restrictions today!
Are Downing Street parties cancelled as well?
Yes, but don't forget the xmas jumper, bottle of bolly and a damn fine cheeseboard for this week's meetings.Quote:

Banning football but letting people mix in their homes for Christmas is stupidQuote:

Yeah but that study from Denmark......Quote:

Because the alternative is easing the self isolation rules slightly and that represents a U turn. We'll just continue down the path we are now on, cases will peak in line with London, albeit behind their curve, and restrictions will be hailed as the reason.Quote:

Yep, people getting reekin at folks houses at Xmas and new year will do much more damage than standing outside for 2 hours at a gameQuote:

Stay at home but get boosted, then stay at home again. But you can go to the pub with a group indoors daily but not to an outdoor football match once a week. And even then instead of reducing crowds to say 50% or even 25% it’s a total insult of 500 fans.
She can **** right off. I hope our sport goes for her throat and throws her under the bus. And IF the premier league down south still have 60-70k crowds each week the pressure will mount. This 3 weeks is a smoke screen. This will be months now to get back to normal. May be next season now.
Get you booster to stay at home. That’s life in Scotland now.
It's the most wonderful time of the year ... for respiratory viruses at least. :rolleyes:Quote:

Cancelled my booster appointment, what’s the point? I’m not allowed to go to football now whether I’m vaccinated or not.
That and hospitality is back to table service and no more than 6 from 3 households.Quote:

Harsh. It's still and always will be a personal choice.Quote:

Your reply is very poor
If you wear a suit it’s not a party apparentlyQuote:

Of course its personal choice, but to go to the extent of cancelling an appointment because you can’t go to the football is about as childish as it gets.Quote:

Like you say, personal choice but if you’re going to share it on a forum you need to be prepared to be told it’s daft.
Aye ok.Quote:

It'll be interesting to see the difference in cases/hospitalisations/deaths between the two countries over the coming months. I've been fully on-board with the SNP until the summer of this year, but I feel Sturgeon has lost the plot now. Time will tell, I suppose.
