Again the need to be different, even slightly, from others. Would be as well being empty. Hopefully Hearts have plans for reduced attendances as this will be bitter blow for clubs and their cashflow.

MaskedMarauder Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Unbelievable (but good to see) the reaction Sturgeon is getting to this on social media. She’s really taken things a step too far for many people now. Shops, hospitality, everything else remaining open except for outdoor events.

If you stop now, when it’s safe to resume ? And very soon you have pressure to end the season. We’d be on the right side of that this time obviously and Celtic would get shat on. Almost worth wishing for it for that alone but if it wasn’t fair last time, it’s not fair this time, no matter what clubs are effected. It’s not a place football will want to go again, so they will undoubtedly opt for BCD if they can get away with it. Clearly hoping they can eek it out till the winter break I can see where you are coming from with this but I hope if there are no fans then it's no games for me. We would only be 2 games behind and if ithe situation has not improved by the end of Jan.we are stuffed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted back then that I'd feel the same if it had been Hibs at the bottom and demoted and I'll stick by that. Absolutely scandalous that clubs were punished because of Covid and unfortunate timing. And, of course, that others like Celtic, Ross Co, Killie, St. Mirren, Hamilton...were rewarded. Scottish football is a corrupt, sick joke but that was the last straw for me.

Locky Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Really tend to keep my mouth shut on public forums about Covid and stuff, but I'm seriously ****ed off with this. I toed the line and swallowed my pride during both the first and second lockdowns. In fact, I was sort of in agreement with them. But this new wave of decisions has just really ground me down. I've done almost everything I've been asked to do for the best part of 2 years, I'm double vaccinated, and while I don't read too much into the news, I thought it was quite widely accepted that this new variant is considerably weaker than the original. My reasons for feeling like this are entirely selfish but I don't care. We're all going to have our own views on restrictions. Personally, Christmas is a shite time for me, and this year even more so. Many won't get it, but I was so excited for the festive double header at Tynie and the derby at ER. It was what was getting me through a challenging time of year. Only decent outcome of this is the matches get replayed at a later date with fans, but doesn't change the fact I'm going to spend the Christmas period cooked up at home without an escape. ****ing shite.
