    An alcohol ad ban in Scottish sport could have 'grave' financial consequences for football and cost the country any chance of hosting future major events, the SFA and SPFL have warned.
    Remember when tobacco sponsored most sports? Hasn't been a disaster when it was banned.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    I'm all for it. I was just passing on the comments of the SFA and SPFL. Never knowingly in the right. (Them, not me. I'm always right. )

    There's a major event just about to start in a country where you can get 6 months in the pokey for drinking in public so I'm not sure the hosting major events concern really works.

    Given the toing and froing this week on it I doubt if FIFA have had much control of the situation.

    Not sure I'd want to use the SFA and SPFL as my moral compass.
    Neither would I. Particularly as they (Qataris) have just announced no bevvy in the stadiums. 😀

    Probably Petries fault.

    The guy in the article supposedly leading the coup, said he wasn't interested. I suppose it plays to the narrative the unionists are trying to portray.

    I wonder what the cut-off point is to be wealthy?
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    In England it's whether you receive a benefit, including pension. 90% of prescriptions in England were free last year

    I suspect this will have been one of those nothing off the table discussions where worst case scenarios have been on the agenda. Having been involved in a number of these during my working days if you think this is bad you would **** yourselves at some of the other suggestions 😆

    The SNP have been committed to the original ethos of the NHS from the day they came into power.

    I'm fairly sure that it costs more in managing the process to identify those that should pay and is the reason the SNP went for the universally free option.

    I would think nearly all genuinely wealthy people will have private health plans to cover majority of health problems.

    No use if your in a car crash or fall off a cliff mind you.
