I tend to agree that lockdown saved lives. My wee mother is in a care home that didn’t have one case. They had dedicated staff, not those that would work between 2 or 3 homes. So I’d say lives were saved. However. I wonder how many folk have died due to not getting the hospital treatment they required, cancer patients as an example. How many people were/are effected mentally and how many suicides can be attributed to lockdown, self isolation, job loss, financial strains etc. Maybe if the pop up hospitals had actually been used then maybe some non COVID patients would still be alive if they had their hospital treatment? Just my tuppence worth.

I was an overseas SMTV subscriber up until last season, due to the fact that more often than not .......... it was crap. In the seasons I was a subscriber, I never got any away games available to view. Are away games a new thing for SMTV?

That’s a premium 4 star culinary delight, keeps you ticking over for hours. Just don’t drink it too quickly, wouldn’t want you to “choke” Could get a lot of miles out of this one........ Taxi [emoji595]

Skorlive has the Celtic v Accies game on. If it’s the OF they’ll probably show it. Correct though, around September last year they pulled most of the SPL games.

Try Skorlive or Hesgoals.

You have your views on Mr Trump chap, I have mine and we’ll probably disagree on lots of topics. However, I don’t honestly believe that the amount of deaths attributed to COVID were actually due to ......... COVID. That’s just not in the USA, but even in the UK. From what I’ve read (again I can’t confirm the validity) that certain NY hospitals we’re getting up to $50k for each COVID toe tag for insurance claims and were encouraged to do so. I watched an interview on Sky a couple of weeks ago where some chap told Adam Bolton that the UK figures could be out by 25% (that’s 25% less) The guy stated that if you had COVID back in March, made a full recovery and got killed by a bus in May........ it was COVID that killed you. Lots of conflicting information out there.

Celtic destroying Accies in the second half....... there’s a pumpin on the cards.

I wonder what happens to the over 70’s [emoji848]

Elvis has been too busy today with the illuminati posts.

The American economy (like just about every other country) took a severe nosedive with the whole COVID thing........ hardly Trump’s fault. I’m assuming it was the Afghan war that was being referred to (but I stand corrected) It’s not quite over but Trump has pulled the majority of US troops out of there. North Korean. He may not have taken the nuclear threat away, but Trump surely has to be commended for going over to NK and having face to face talks. The Democrats have tried everything to get rid of Trump and this current situation across various states (all Democrat run) is probably their last role of the dice. Had it been anyone else sitting in the chair and had accomplished what Trump has done........ would there be the same outcry? I do cringe at times at some of Trump’s statements, but i agree with a lot of his policies. The Democrats are a disgrace the way they’ve behaved since even before Trump was elected.

Why are so many from the medical fraternity being silenced? Is it that they’re questioning that the virus was allegedly man made? Is it that they’re questioning the treatment? (Ventilators) Is it that they’re questioning alternative medication without the need for the vaccine?

I don’t think Flu has the same fear factor.

Professional and Journalist are not words you’d often hear/read in the same sentence.

I believe some are using it for political gains. Trinidad. 8 fatalities in total. Border been shut for months. Election on August 10th........... new COVID cases detected.......... they’re saying it’s being spread by the Sahara dust.

Maybe I’m missing something? I was of the impression that this whole taking the knee was in support of the BLM movement (not to be confused with actual black lives as the BLM movement don’t seem to care about them) which found prominence as a result of the death of George Floyd at the hands (or knee) of a police officer. So Football players take a knee for a week or for a season.......... then what? What’ll have changed? Will that have stopped racists being racist? Your second point WRT Trinidadians of African heritage. I suggest you do a bit of research on that one. Racism is a global issue, and it’s just not whites that are racist.

Surely if this goes ahead it has to be for the opening day/weekend set of fixtures? I’d hate to think this is going to be a weekly occurrence.

Scottish cup tie at home to Aberdeen. Note......... I said songs LIKE that ditty to Stevie Mallan.

Any chance you young fellows could come up with some decent songs? The likes of “Oooooohhhhh wee Stevie Mallan” doesn’t cut it these days. What about a couple of wee toe tapper type numbers for when the fans are allowed back. [emoji4]

We haven’t done too bad to recover from the shambles he left behind. It shows how good a job Kearney and Goodwin have done IMO.

I’d say times have moved on for blacks in America. Do blacks not have equality in the states? I believe everyone acknowledges the wrongs that were done in the past. I can’t really comment on how things are going in Africa, but Famine and years of civil wars can’t really be blamed on the white man. South Africa hasn’t exactly flourished since the ANC took over.
