I played central midfield against Aitken a few years ago when Shetland were training against the locals sides. Guys different class. Glad to see the Orcadians put in their place.

Mikey1874 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I won't be looking at all the Old Firm post match discussion.

Instead they pay over £7m for more forwards they don't play when they've got Scotland's best striker in Griffiths on their books if they knew how to manage him.

JFK-1 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I think Rangers are clearly the better side. They have comprehensively outplayed Celtic in their last 3 meetings. I would also say they appear to be a far better coached team. They're superior to Celtic in terms of Euro performances. The bookies too now deem Rangers the better team and have installed them as odds on favourites for the title at 8/11 with Celtic evens. I think Rangers could beat Celtic more often than not either home or away but that wont necessarily win a title. They still have to prove they can beat the rest so consistently as Celtic do.

Sorry not trying to be contrarian but what exactly does that mean and how do you conquer a virus by issuing fines? This is right up there with Sturgeon's idea that "we can eliminate the virus even if we can't eradicate it" or that the virus "likes to jump" lol. We need to be far more careful with our language over what we are trying to achieve here, as it's driving both fear and unrealistic expectations.

We need to be far more careful with our language over what we are trying to achieve here, as it's driving both fear and unrealistic expectations. It's simple really. If I was fined £10000 for holding a house party, or £1000 for attending one, I wouldn't do it again, and I'm sure most people would be the same. If people don't congregate so much, there is less chance of the virus spreading, and the sooner it will be conquered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
