Am with you. BBC Breakfast just now revelling in how things are "returning to normal" with thousands of Chelsea and Leicester fans at the FA Cup Final today and how fans will be travelling across to Porto for the CL Final. It's galling.

For some reason I thought it was next week, the same day as ours. I might give it a watch, hoping on a Leicester win.

There doesn't even seem to be 1.5 metre spacing never mind 2.0 metre between the fans so I guess the English authorities don't care if a few football oiks get infected though you would think they would have a little more empathy for the rest of their population.

England is hardly a gold standard for Covid management given their infection and death rates but its their call so good luck with that.

Frustrating doesn't even begin to cover it, but look at it another way ... this is a huge test event, where everyone attending is going to be monitored for the coming weeks. If there are no significant outbreaks and all is well, then it is a blueprint for getting us all back into football grounds next season. We need to just hope all goes ok, then the SNP will run out of reasons/excuses not to open football grounds up properly here.

And I don't mean 600 fans in 51000 seater stadia, which what they think is opening grounds.

Actually you are probably right with that to be honest.

I guess what I meant is that football passion runs very deep in the English phsycology and I always have admired the depth of knowledge many of their fans show.

Exactly. They’ve built up to this point, same as the snooker, the brits, the lot. They have scientists watching every move, gaining an understanding of what is happening, tests etc. They’ve not went straight into 20k like what they are going to do up here, they started small and have had a strategy.

Apologies if it’s already been asked and answered above, but surely Wembley is under eufa control at this moment in time, the same as Hampden. I understand that as Glasgow will stay in level 3 it’s impossible to now have fans in. But hypothetically if it had moved to level 2, how have Wembley managed to open up all 4 stands and Hampden couldn’t?.

Think they’re saying Wembley is a £900m modern stadium needing no work, hampden is a dump which needs loads of work for the championships.

Which to be fair, is bang on. Wembley is about as good as a stadium can be in terms of facilities. Theres a reason its had 2 recent CL finals, was an option for this years, and has this years Euro final (i think)?

In UEFAs eyes, its probably the best stadium in the world. Hampden is a heap of *****.
