DETTY29 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Queens reminded of responsibilities by PS and no further action being taken against them. Pretty much in line with the softly, softly approach as long as you are prepared to recognise where you have erred. Football authorities will probably still need to review.

I read somewhere that one of the main reasons he's against Scottish independence is his belief that its safer for Scottish Catholics to remain living within the union than it would be for them to live in a largely Protestant Independent Scotland.

DETTY29 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) D&G moved from L1 to L4 pretty much over night but still managed to contact all other supporters who could no longer attend. This is as much a publicity, political stunt from Queens as much as Galloway, imo. It's just again, imo, another club seeing how far they can push the SG. Only a couple of weeks ago Scot Gardiner was saying sponsors should be part of the football bubble and travel from Glasgow to Inverness to watch the SC Final, as a plan for ICT to host it. These guys arent that stupid that they don't even know the agreed football covid rules as well as the general public ones.

Our local MP, Angus McNeil, has been in our work a few times. 1 time he was in in the lead up to the indy ref, I had a hearts top on and I was blethering to him.

Ian Murray and George Foulkes. I would have no problem if the were allowed in to watch Hearts in this period of time. I would Tommy , why should they gain access when you or I can’t. I was maybe a bit dismissive of that angle. I agree with that. Just not the bringing it round to politics when to me it should be about QoS allowing him to attend even more so during a tier 4 lockdown. It makes a mockery of teams making an effort to protect players and officials. Half our staff aren’t back as we have to follow protocols yet he can go and watch them. Seems unfair to me.

QoS should have informed him that due to tiers changing that he and his family could no longer attend. Either that or accept that everyone else who was down to attend when they were still in tier 1 got to attend.

But I think only 10 senior non matchday staff are allowed to attend when no spectators, certainly no guests. And QoS let Galloway and at least 3 family members in. Because I'm a Doonhamer born, I take a lot of notice in Queens, but diminishing in wanting them to do well every passing day, but they seem to have more folk in attendance at games than even we do. Of course it could be the illusion of the smaller stands, but imo a full review of their 'football' Covid procedures could interesting. But I'm sure most clubs aren't following to letter and not just the occassional forget to put a mask on type breach.

Hopefully you will be mature enough to realise however that making an anti semetic remark does not make you an anti semite. In the same way I have said things in my life that could be classed as racist (like everyone who is big enough to admit it) but I am not a racist. I think George Galloway is a decent person, I disagree with him on many issues (mainly the Middle East) but I am tolerant and mature enough to accept his opinion. I would be pro Isreal (not that I really give a ****) any day against the Palestinians. People see the world differently - it is life.
