Put the boot on the other foot - let's say it's the Jags in a Scottish Cup semifinal & had sought & been granted government level approval to start (fully conversant with current regulations) training a few weeks ahead of the other teams in the league - teams that also had the option to start training but didn't. Then some elite level players upset the apple cart by acting like idiots. The SFAs response through their pompous sounding blazer ridden JRG is to decide to tell us to immediately cease training on both safety grounds and because some pub team chairmen who wanted us in that league & voted for it now think its unfair we've got a bigger budget and have started training early. There are also unconfirmed reports of top level government interference. Meanwhile, Celtic and Aberdeen jog on as if nothing happened and an English team (Hull City) also use our allegedly unsafe training facility at Heriot Watt University with nothing said to the contrary. Cue clumsy and piss taking social media posts from clubs like Alloa and clowns like the Morton chairman spouting crap to whoever will listen about unfairness. Boot on tbe other foot scotty ... exactly who do you think is taking the piss here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a really clumsy attempt by Alloa to take a pop at Hearts and to be funny at the same time. Maybe because we're too close but I personally think it failed and has opened them up to all sorts well deserved piss-taking! (No, I haven't missed the irony of making a clumsy attempt at highlighting their clumsiness!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe face masks will be compulsory? I would also be looking to sit far away from the lunatics who foam at the mouth when a referee does not (correctly) call for a offside spitting all over the place.

Norway is pretty much ok. Wee spike when schools started back after summer although Oslo is “Red” as per FHI (20 cases per 100000 over 14 days), entering country from UK come midnight on Friday means 10 days quarantine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start it almost followed each other, last 2 months the testing line is separating from the infection rate at an increasing rate. Yes the amount of cases is rising , but (Trying not to sound like Trump) as the testing level is massively increasing that was always going to happen, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is reducing, R is below 1 The R number is a lot more of a reliable measure when there are lots of cases. When cases are low it fluctuates a lot more depending on outbreaks clusters ect. Think It was above 3 at one point in Germamy about a month ago when they had consistently low cases after an outbreak at a factory. Point is as cases are at a low level in Scotland the R number becomes less important in terms of indicating how infection rates are changing Edited August 22, 2020 by Jag36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
