That’s not the latest news, that’s just scaremongering shite 

Didn't say it was mate, just my opinion based on previous.

In the age of social media which can dictate public opinion, it’s nothing other than shambolic 

I can only hope and assume that we are being active behind the scenes in pushing our case. 

The thing is, we don't seem to have grasped the importance of public opinion and how to shape the narrative. They are streets ahead of us in this regard and have been allowed to put themselves in the position of public protector again, a position they crowed about during the lockdown. 

We appear to be on the outside looking in again. I can only hope that SKY decide the games must be played. 

[Blue Nosed Babe 21,512]

Sky have a blockbuster line up of our games at a traditional period of the year for football. They would be mad to give that up.

[Blue Nosed Babe 21,512]

Germany playing bcd from 28 Dec. Sky should take note that other leagues are going to press on.

Very unlikely to see crowds for the rest of the season imo. Football is the easiest one to shut down.

Packed calendar going into mid June with internationals, pending winter World Cup as well. The sensible move would actually be to scrap the break altogether never mind bringing it forward. 

I'm not so sure .

So far the data is telling us that hospitalisation rates aren't as high under the Omicron variant . I suspect/ hope that may well continue , and if they do bring forward the shut down , the crowds will be back in at the start of January , citing the fact that things weren't as bad as they predicted .

I can only construe it as incompetence and whether you’re working behind the scenes or not you need to be on the front foot on social media. 

What makes it worse, was Davie Wilson not part of the H@H team and if so you would think he or his team would be on the ball with stuff like this 🤷‍♂️

I’m sure I read on here the Dutch have been bcd for the last two weeks 

[ElBufalo20 8,172]

Need to play on.

As disappointing and frustrating it is I’m not really understanding where all these clubs think they’ll be able to rearrange at least 3 fixtures before the end of the season.

There has been no definitive return for fans so are these clubs so going to keep asking for postponements til March?

All clubs asking for the break early aren’t giving solutions to their requests.

Maybe the clubs should be calling out Sturgeon for her policies rather than asking for an early break.

There will be crowds come March for the Scotland play off guaranteed

All these clubs speaking out and not a word from ours. Worrying.

You never know, it might just be they know the others are wasting their time cos SKY wont have it. Probably not though.

Pretty sure its the same for some German teams. No fuss made, just got on with it.

Yeah they have.

Ajax Feyenoord was BCD at the weekend.

[LewisWATP 307]

Can’t see it being stopped, Sky for one won’t be happy, and other leagues around the world are continuing on behind closed doors. Just shows how fucking pish our league is that they are desperate for gate money. 
 

i do believe the Scottish government should be covering these clubs costs however, it’s a fucking joke that that bitch is playing dictator. 

[murzo 7,449]

Saying it’s not right to play without fans, half the teams wouldn’t notice the difference.

It’s no surprise that Wales and Scotland jump the gun again. Anything to take back even more control of the population ran by absolute psychopaths and to look different to the UK government.

The majority of hospital cases are with patients with unrelated issues testing positive for omicron ,Thats what is happening in Denmark and SA so far .

 

If say 10pc of population is infected,then 10pc of all heart attacks ,broken legs etc will be testing positive for omicron .

Theres definitely been a huge panic from Boris and am off the scale opportunistic panic from the glorious leader .

Sturgeon and Blackford are two cheeks of the same arse and it really ain’t a pretty one…

Hopefully mate tho logic, data and reasoning doesn’t seem to come into play when it comes to making decisions with this government. That’s the only factor I base my opinion on

Add in logic and reading doesn’t come into play when the SPFL are involved either .

Have I missed a rule change.

With 3 players off to AFCON are we not entitled to apply  for a postponement due to 3 or more players on International duty.
