Anybody else a bit suspicious about how pharmaceutical companies appear to be developing anti-Covid vaccines at amazing speeds, apparently in months, and have them tested and presumably approved for sale by the millions...... when normally it takes years for vaccines to get through all the pre-clinical and clinical trials and safety checks to ensure that there are no long-term negative effects on people, or on their as-yet unborn children? There is a lot of money at stake for these companies, possibly their biggest ever bonanza. Just a thought. Not a vaccine, of course, but remember Thalidomide?: "Perfectly safe."

And by far the player with the most appearances for the club, a record unlikely to ever be surpassed. But those achievements aren't enough for some people, who want somebody better. But they don't say who that somebody is.

Linnman the Binman

Only our most capped Internationalist! I thought he came across very well in the recent JagZone interview

I can mind Stevie Lawless saying something along these lines in a recent interview.

Really? Then my uncle must be one of the 8 in 25 million. He has tested positive three times and negative two times over the past 5 months. So it could be argued that maybe the tests were wrong. But those tests will be used to test the efficacy of the expected-to-be wonder vaccines that are being promised.

Just as well we've got thistle for ever eh?

Agreeing to a point but at the same time I'd welcome Denis McQuade onto the Board.

I'm at the stage where I'd volunteer to catch this. Be a battery hen and ride it out with medical support. Bored of it. Going mad. Looking at economic impact and more worried about that. Looking at other people's actions and despairing while understanding how teenagers and yoof are not socially distancing. I'd go to football with mask on, socially distanced and promise to be quiet. Anyone who shouts out gets chucked out by full PPE wearing bouncers then hosed down outside. Was even tempted to stand outside Hampden and listen to game on radio tonight. I'm 42. That's not normal. Luckily wife is going out so I need to stay in with kids. But maybe I could get them into the double buggy and sleep?

FFS Queens Park have really got into this non Amateur professional lark. Are they spending that Hampden sale cash like some chav winning the lottery. Penniless in 2 years.

I doubt very much that they will finish bottom of our Betfred Cup group...... Our cup group games will be very testing.

You make a good point. No one has developed a vaccine or is close to realising one yet. Remember we were told by via the media a couple of months back that one would be ready by September? Well its September and nothing so far (unless you fancy giving the Russian vaccine a go). The best case timescale was 18 months to 2 years which means maybe by the end of 2021. The Pharmacy companies have made a lot of money out of politicians who throw money at any indication of a vaccine but then again the politicians are the one who created this market by saying a vaccine is just around the corner rather than telling the public that lifestyle changes were long term. I would hope that in a few months time a public enquiry is launched into what money was thrown at pre-ordering vaccines before they had been tested, the relationship between the politicians running those companies and the government. Whilst they are at it a close look at what money was flung at IT companies to come up with apps to help with test and trace would I think be an eye opener.

No he never, your making your own crap up. Uk classes numbers who have tested positive for COVID not those who have died of it, hence why the 1st minister states “With COVID mentioned on their death certificate” so do they measure of or with? Norway (Unlike UK) carry’s out postmortems and only counts deaths off COVID. We have 264 in total, of that 13 are under the age of 60 (11 men and 2 women), 24 are from 60 to 69, 61 deaths from 70 to 79, 92 deaths from 80 to 89, with the remaining 74 in the age bracket 90+. This is from a country the same population as Scotland, we are given clear and transparent information to allow us to make judgements, no daily broadcasts, no PR slogans, no gimmicks. Unlike other countries we have been fully transparent, and not whipped up a government led panic via the media with false data points. The government breaks all data (tests, cases, admissions, ICU’s, deaths) down, by location, age and sex.

Aye less of this talking crap (tho' I don't know who is). On this day of all days. For today's the anniversary of the death of the Temptations'papa. OK he was an itinerant sponging work shy con man. And a suspected bigamist as well. Still a shame all the same. Altogether now....... "It was the third of September That day, I'll always remember..."

Would be a gift for the headline writers.... Jags Players Say No to Jags!

Interesting to note that yesterday in Victoria there were 15 fatalities 14 of which were in care homes .....maybe protecting people in care homes isn’t as easy as some people think

Stopped reading at "Wee nippy." I prefer adult-levels of discussion.

Yeah he is backing them financially to get them to the championship at least apparently
