    You only have to go back 2 or 3 pages on this thread to read similar "fantasies", aye, time will tell.

    Same time same place next season? :wink:

    The thing is with some of the crazy amounts flying about for players in England stranger things have happened. Not saying it will or won't, but transfer numbers down there are f**kin absurd.

    Gary, they play on that surface in France, Belgium and Germany to name just a few countries. So how come they seem to be doing OK? emoji6.png

    Knowing that I've already checked. And lived in Spain for 18 years. Name a top league team that have a plastic pitch. Top league only.

    Sint Truiden are from Belgium emoji1045.png not France. Germany emoji629.png or emoji633.png

    You're the only person who mentioned Spain. You asked for one top league team from France, Belgium or Germany and you got it. 

     

    I do agree plastic pitches are shite though

    Not quite sure what you are expecting!
    The guys are doing just fine.

    Campbell is the club DJ. I’ve heard far worse on co comms on Sky Sports or BT. 

    Who he is doesn't make me think its any less pish, it may not be the worst that's been on, but that doesn't automatically make it good. 

     

    It was described earlier in the thread as incessant screeching. I'd say that's about right. Sounds like they've turned him down in the last 10 minutes which is a plus.

    That is to log in to the gui to set up the nwtowrk (and set the admin password) .

    To connect to the network outwith that initial setup there is always a password or pin I'm afraid. And the number I've set up is in the thousands, from single domestic units to rack mounted routers for decent sized organisations with mulitple switches, multiple subnets over large buildings in their network. 

     

    Look on the bottom or back of any router you can find to hand and there will be a sticker with mac address, ssid, and either wps pin or wpa/wpa2 password

     

    And ps any 3rd party router you buy labeled as a router will provide extra functionality over switches like dhcp servers, port forwarding, Nat, firewall and qos etc so they're not l3 switches. Good effort though.

    Most 3rd party ones that I have installed (probably a couple of hundred over the years) tend to have a username (usually "admin") and no password, WiFi or otherwise. It's usually part of the setup to choose a password. Admittedly, I've been out of that side of the game for a few years now, things may have changed but the new one I set up at home a couple if weeks ago never had a preset WiFi password.

    Calling most of them routers is a bit of a push anyway, more like small L3 switches.

    To connect to the network outwith that initial setup there is always a password or pin I'm afraid. And the number I've set up is in the tens of thousands, from single domestic units to large organisations with mulitple subnets within the network.

    No.  Only you have made errors.  I offered corrections to your errors.  You couldn't accept with good grace: that is weakness.

    Despite your feeble efforts, Black is not now... and never will be... White - even in St Mirrenland.)

    My only mis-step was in trying to help you pick correct words in a conversation in which you struggle desperately to appear knowledgeable, if not omnipotent.

     

    Keep digging, by all means.  :)

     

     

    Be careful you don't become overlay(sic) harsh on him 😂

    More you have no credibility on this page. You very often change words like "could" and "may" for "will" No confidence you wouldn't do similar just because it's in Spanish. 

    Oh the irony.

    That's what I thought could happen to a few teams.

    People might not be willing to take the risk, however small, at this stage. 

    All in all, a fecking mess. 

    There's probably an element of it just not being the same either. I'm not sure I'd fancy going to a game when there's only a few hundred in the ground. A big part of the enjoyment is the atmosphere IMO

    It absolutely is, my point was you'll still somehow take the opposite side of me despite how much of a stick on my view is. In this example, accidental death related to Covid19. Do you think anyone believes your view is actually, the numbers for accidental deaths will be substantial? :whistle

     

    I think hit by a bus was just a flippant example that any cause of death within 28 days of a positive test is registered as covid I believe. So if someone is dying of cancer and it happens to be within 28 days the death certificate would say covid rather than cancer. I don't think. Anyone is implying everyone is dying from accidents. Nobody, including you, know exactly how many deaths are solely down to covid 19 due to the way it is recorded and reported. 

    I also believe this conversation was had by someone with you months ago.

    Yep it is the way it is. But that doesn't mean I'm going to bow down to a solution that could kill up to 1 in 20 over 70s in this country. The solution (in my view) is to change the political approach. 

     

    Third point also needs to be mitigated against. If that is looking like the case (and I don't fully agree it is) legislation must be passed to protect workers rights and pay. 

    As for the 2 bits above. Where has 1 in 20 come from? 

     

    There is legislation, but it doesn't stop places asking for experienced people, paying them 17/8k a year and working them into the ground 65 hours a week with unpaid overtime. The more desperate people become the more these conditions will be accepted. 

    The sad reality is the legislation and NMW mean next to f**k all in hospitality where this has been the norm for years. You might not agree that's the case but take my word for it as someone who actually knows. The gains and moves away from these practises will be all but gone when places are eventually allowed to open up. 

    There's a big backlash at the moment from operators who have bent over backwards in changing practises and capacities to make restaurants and (most) bars safe and clean some of them at a considerable cost. I certainly would rather be in a restaurant than a supermarket if I wanted to avoid covid.

    I mean, i feel sorry for anyone who paid a tenner to watch this.

    I didn't bother, why should I when QotS are showing it for free on their website? :lol: 

    https://live.qosfc.com/live/2020-2021/queen-of-the-south_st-mirren_1068

    I was watching it on my phone on that oink. Backed out to do something and won't let me back in. Probably for the best 😂

     

    But anybody who is on that link don't leave the page or you might not get back in

    We don't make decisions to kill big volumes of the vulnerable population at this point. We continue work on a possible vaccination and the younger, fitter people suck it up and accept life isn't going to be so normal for the foreseeable.

    We take the economic hit and spend money in the best way we can to sustain and support our communities including those impacted with other conditions both physically and mentally. We continue with give and take measures such as some pain in the hospitality sector (with them being supported) so that we can take some reasonable normalised steps with schools, education, children etc. 

    If it comes to it in a year/ two years or so that a vaccine isn't forthcoming, then we have conversations as a population on the long-term approach we want to take.

    Jesus the first cases were barely recorded by Valentines day and you're wanting death warrants signed before Halloween! We have more time before we nuclear option a large chunk of people in the world. 😪

    OK ill bite. So far there have already been 3.5 million people left with no income or support due to covid and job losses. It may be a political decision, and maybe it shouldn't be that way but the reality is, that's what's happening. 

    "some pain" in hospitality. I'm guessing you don't work in hospitality. There's currently more than some pain in the industry and it's getting worse by the day. 

    Any gains the industry has made in working conditions over the past years will be absolutely gone when any normality comes back as people will be absolutely desperate for work and will work for peanuts just to pay a gas bill. 

     

    People are being shafted already and the peak of unemployment and businesses closing hasn't hit yet. The set back will take years to fix in a best case scenario
