As the stenny chairman says, those in charge have acknowledged that the reason for limiting football is the travel etc rather than the (outdoor) event itself. But the travel etc is the same for shopping at it is for football. Hard to see how that's not football being singled out. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I wouldn't say football has been singled out. However I would say it has been disproportionately disadvantaged due to blanket regulations and guidelines. Link to comment

Both Edinburgh and Glasgow rugby have missed out on bumper crowds in derby matches over the festive period. 2 minutes ago, ConsiCanBoogie1903 said: There's dat nuance That's not nuance.

It's wrong to say football is being treated differently than other sectors/businesses? How so? No limitations in shopping centres etc, that folk drive to. No need to prove inoculation. Im not even advocating for full houses here, but fuck me, 500?! Probably more people in the McDonalds in Glasgow City Centre on the 26th. Link to comment

Aberdeen being able to house all 500 in one stand with social distancing just demonstrated how ridiculous the arbitrary 500 limit was. Link to comment

Merely pointing out that anyone and everyone who is whinging that football is being singled out is completely and utterly wrong. And I've told you other things that aren't. Gigs are indoors, and rugby is bordering an irrelevance. The reasoning for limiting football to 500 does add up with their reasoning for keeping shopping centres etc open. Why are culture (gigs) and sport (football and rugby) the first to get hit? People have good reason to feel that way, largely to due to legislation, the attitude of Police Scotland and a healthy suspicion of the middle class political elite that the SNP seem to attract.

The facts are these things are operating under the same restrictions and if you think football is being "singled out", then you're wrong. Link to comment

It makes sense for gigs to be limited, they'll be inside, where it's more transmissible. Smaller venues won't see much difference, independent ones. Enforcing one blanket rule for different sectors with different infrastructures/stadia etc, will harm some of them disproportionately. In this case, football is being disproportionately harmed by the blanket rule only a moron could make. This would be clear to anyone who understood the importance of football in this country. Which the SNP either do, and wilfully ignore, or don't, and don't care to understand. Link to comment
WesthillWanderersFC Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I’ll wager this 500 nonsense ends the week before the 6 Nations starts in the first weekend of February. A figure incidentally that Jason Leitch basically admitted he clutched from up his arse. To have just 500 people inside Pittodrie when the scum are here is just plain fucking wrong, regardless of your politics. Time to get the fuck on with it, as hospitalisation figures are broadly similar & the majority of those are unvaccinated. If folk are double vaccinated & it’s outdoor, just stop controlling our lives unnecessarily and get on with life Link to comment

maryhilldon Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I doubt any rugby clubs apart from the 2 pro teams from Glasgow and Edinburgh are affected by the 500 fans rule. Football is disproportionately affected, even if the rules are the same for every sport. Link to comment

So will we just stop living every 6 months and every Christmas/new year don’t go out. Life goes on and we have to live with it 1 Link to comment
Poodler Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 There was some political twisting by BoJo earlier with him saying 90% of people in ICU haven’t had the booster (the wording lead you to assume everyone was completely unvaccinated) clever Didn’t get past me though and I reckon I’m smarter than parklife.
