    I'm quite comfortable with what the government has done so far - and for that matter on what Nicola Sturgeon too has said to date on the matter. There seems to be a consistent approach being taken led by scientific advice through the Cobra meetings. In fairness to all the political parties they seem to be working in consort over this issue too. What would you have done differently? Acted like King Kanute trying to turn back the tide? 
    I'm of the opinion that eventually the majority of the population will catch this virus and that - in the same way we are all prone to catching the different flu strains that go about every year - most of us will recover after a period of illness. Mike Hancock always said that the first stage of the government strategy was to attempt to slow the spread of the virus. The fact that we seem to be around a month behind the rate of spread in places like Italy suggests they've done that, so far, reasonably well. What is slightly more concerning is the emergence of news that some people have been given the wrong advice through the NHS phone lines which seems to suggest either communication is poor or there have been some rather serious individual errors. 
    There are lessons to be learned though. I like the sound of the South Korean app that warns authorities of any sufferer leaving their self isolation. location and Israel seem to be doing things right by insisting everyone arriving in the country goes into a period of self quarantine. We probably also need to increase the levels of screening particularly outside venues where high numbers of people are expected to congregate. 
    I'll be at the match tonight. I'm not overly concerned. Do you plan on hiding in your house or will you be there too? 
     
     
    "Most of us will recover"....
    So its govt policy you are happy with that puts anyone, at any age with an underlying condition at risk of death?
    Ffs this is people we are sacrificing so champions league games or Spfl games can carry on.
    Never mind the fact that the govt have done absolutely nothing to stop people from hot spots entering the country.

    You have been warned, our stewards are now doctors [emoji40]
    No mention of how to get a refund their for anyone with the cold or flu...
    I guess in the absence of that info they should just turn up like everyone else, on the bus, train etc and join the jig queu6at the ticket office for a refund.
    What a well thought out prevention strategy. Lol
    Fyi... I constantly see stewards coughing and sputtering their way through their shift at the ground. Are they being excluded too?

    I agree, but not too hard as we need to keep our discipline and eleven players on the pitch.

    Naismith also seems to enjoy playing against us. If we can frustrate Hearts, and him in particular, then I think he may crack under the pressure and maybe the red mist will descend.
    Naismith will play our inexperienced players like an old piano. Watters will be targeted by any pace they have on that flank, and Naismith will capitalise on any rash challenges.
    I expect at least one penalty and red card tonight. But for who?

    Dear oh dear. The fact that you've got yourself into such a state over a very simple jocular post says far more about you than it does anything else. Why the desperation to save face? 

    I don't need the claims on a Dettol bottle explained to me. I didn't need you to go and find an article that tells me that the product hasn't been tested on COVID-19 yet. The reason for posting the picture of the Dettol label was to debunk your silly claim that an anti bacterial cleanser couldn't kill viruses - which it does - and debunking your claim that it couldn't kill the coronavirus - which it also does. 

    It's not been your best sequence of posts I'm afraid. 

     

     

    Only anti viral agents/cleaners kill viruses. If it dont say "anti viral" on the tin... guess what!

    Co-vid 19 is a virus.

     

    On a separate point. How do you think the govt (uk as that's who is in control of this) have handled this crisis?

    In effect theyve done nothing yet to stop the spread of the virus except tell us to sing happy Birthday twice, which emptied the shelves of sanitizer and handwash.

    Imo their lack of imposing restrictions will be HUGELY counterproductive in keeping calm, and carrying on.

    If you drip feed restrictions in, people deal with it in the way it affects them thus avoiding widespread panic.

    With the surge in cases in the UK and Europe, and the spiralling death count it's now inevitable they will act soon with a whole host of restrictions in one go.

    The public however will, or do know that the spread has been allowed to go unchecked, and it will all feel a bit like locking the stable door after the politicians have bolted.

    I think Bojo & co have shat themselves and become decision paralysed by worrying too much about what knock on impacts their decisions could make.

    Simply put, tge8res no good choices here, but if you act, rather than react... more lives will he saved.

    Bojo is a big, fat, racist, Reactor... always has been.

     

  13. Why on live TV?

    Tomorrow night 11/3/2020 Man City v Arsenal is live on Sky TV.

    Whilst over on BT you can watch live Champions league games including Liverpool v Athletico Madrid.

    I thought European leagues weren't allowed to televise live top league games when champions league games were on?

    Wasn't our game against Hearts originally scheduled for live tv?

    I'm a realist. I know from long experience that we (in common with most clubs) seldom win or even draw at this venue. Only 1 team has won there in 16 games this season and that was not lost to a smaller club. Jim has more important games coming up, starting with this one. Value for money at Celtic Park? I doubt it from our point of view. I didn't go for the first time for a long time. 
    So how do you realise Tony F and the board's ambition to be Top Four, if you write off EIGHT games a season before a ball is kicked?

    Isn't that the nature of viruses, though? Do they not spread exponentially? Person A gives it to three people, who each give it to three people, and they each give it to three people, etc. As the number of people infected grows, the number of deaths will grow, too.
    At the end of the day, what can you do about it? 
    For a start you can stop being in denial. I.e. " Just because you dont believe it doesn't mean it wont affect you"
    And accept the best you can do is avoid compromising yourself with unnecessary human interaction in hot spots.

    If you go on to a pitch thinking you will be beaten, you most defo will be.
    Successive Saints managers have had this shite bag mentality.
    He's a suggestion for, Goodwin: next time we play Rangers or Celtic; simple team talk: let's get stuck in to these cunts.

    This...
    Never understand why some fans think this is the right mentality? Hearts have jumped Rangers twice, Killie, Hamilton beat them too. Livi nearly did celtic midweek.
    And our manager tells us it's over before a ball is kicked...!
    How the hell is a 5-0 pumping a good thing, and how does it help the team for the six pointer against Hearts?
