    50,000 at Ibrox tomorrow.

    52,000 at Hampden Park Sunday.

    I disagree with the advice to cancel Christmas Partys because of the Tsunami Nicola Sturgeon says is smashing into Scotland.

    I would imagine, those advised to be vulnerable in Scotland, will have gone for all 3 of their vaccines.

    There's been lockdown, 2/3 'circuit breaker’ lockdowns, Glasgow in restrictions longer than any other city in UK.

    3 jabs, masks, 1 way systems, banning music in hospitality, random restrictions, vaccine passports/LFT enforcement, social distancing for 2 years and now the media are still asking about another lockdown 2 years later.

    Call me a conspiracy theorist - maybe the Queen really is a reptile, but when is enough enough?

    I can't help but feel that this Government guidance is absolutely farcicle!

    To be told to cancel Christmas plans, and to limit Christmas gathering to 3 Households is ridiculous, and imagined guidance.

    Sturgeon has my gran up to high dough. After being terrified into staying inside for such a long time. She's never been the same since, psychologically, she doesn't have the confidence she once had. In recent years, was a member of a dance group and a choir. Went to church groups.

    My grandad who is in his 80s is the same. He tripped on the stairs at Parkhead, but wanted to get to every game. He's a legend. One of the greatest people I will ever know. However. Covid. And being indoors all that time. Watching BBC news. His pub never re opened, The Horse and Barge in Dalmuir Celtic bar. His lifeline. Lost all his confidence entirely to go places. Has since given up his season ticket, and has given it to my cousin. While he stays at home. It'll be the same for so many but its sad. He's lost everything.

    It's all over and they are losing their minds.

    Everyone is going to the Christmas party, not just 3 families.

    For me, time is precious.

    I'm disgusted at the language Sturgeon has used to scare people - Tsunami.

    The virus is very real. But its absolutely clear, the vaccine saves lives. I will not be told that I must spend the rest of my life hiding under covers until Nicola decides that it may or may not be safe, to come out from under the covers she's asked us to hide under.


    I'm pro vaccine. We're told it works. It stops you from getting sick. It's impossible for you to be reassured any further, besides locking yourself away inside as hermit for the rest of your life. Like a turtle that never comes out, from inside its shell. Or like a pound coin from Craig White inserted into a slot machine called Rangers.

    Time is precious!

    I gel my hands. Wear my mask. There is nothing else we can do, while the bourgeoisie scum Westminster and Holyrood Edinburgh political elite enjoy cheese and wine and laugh in our faces, pronouns xi/xir they/them/me/i

    I read that if the highly transmissable strain makes its way through an entirely vaccinated population, presenting in milder symptoms, could help end covid all together. Nothing else. THIS.
    .

    I get people who have underlying health conditions, and very much respect that people want to play it safe.

    But I would say to them. That society continues. Football stays on. Stadium are open to full. And life must go on!

    I can't be morally responsble for protecting other people who choose not to have a vaccine. And I can't force someone to take something they don't believe in, and I respect their choices. We are all Scottish. We must surely reject, a two tier society which brings about vaccine passports and a shaming of individuals from their own lived experiences who choose not to take a vaccine.

    I support them.

    We have no moral obligation to protect someone else. That individual makes a personal choice to go to the pub, to go to Parkhead, to stay at home.

    I'd implore people, not to turn on BBC news, and allow a covid press briefing to imbed herself within your psyche and your self esteem! Please, stay confident in the mind that you are triple vaccinated, let alone double single or healthy!

    You've had 3 jabs, like the 3 stripes on your Adidas! Kicking f*ck out of covid like you are kicking f*ck out on the terraces, the Gallowgate, and up the the Falls Road!

    It's impossible for you to do anymore than breath, grin and bear it!

    I appreciate that I'm lucky to have my health as I hope you have too, for as long as time.

    My opinion, is that I choose life! Life is life! And we've all got the power. Don't live your life in fear. Go to Parkhead, Go to the cup final at Hampden in, the sun, and live your life like its your last day on earth!

    There is no tomorrow. There is only this moment.

    Hail Hail. Let freedom reign! Saor Alba and Tiocfaidh at la!

    I get that and I get the frustration over what restrictions need put in place etc
    But I believe that the majority will argue that this variant isn’t as deadly as the original and gives milder symptoms. But. It’s not about the death rate
    This variant is much more contagious and although milder, so if only 1% of this variant leads to hospital admissions etc then that is still more hospital admissions than the 2-3% of the original covid hospitalisations and as such it would lead to a total breakdown in the nhs
    You say we have no moral obligation to protect anyone else and I disagree with that. If I’m positive for covid then I have a moral obligation to extract myself from company where I could pass it on to someone vulnerable
    Sturgeon is somewhat hamstrung in what she can and can’t do and needs backing from a govt in England (the same govt who wanted to originally let the virus run rampant to build herd immunity despite knowing that it would kill 10000’s in the process) who don’t give a * about Scotland
    I think a lot of criticism and hatred directed at sturgeon is unwarranted…she isn’t making these decisions of her own back to ‘control’ the masses, anything she does is by advice from experts and by the data taken from the last 2 years
    Yes I believe she has made mistakes and is trying to learn from them but this is unprecedented times and mistakes will be learnt but if you haven’t had to deal with a pandemic before then how do you know how to deal with it now
    We’ve all had to make sacrifices but let’s be honest here aswell, we’ve all broken/bent the rules for our own selfish needs knowing fine well it’s putting others at risk yet the level of criticism for doing it is nowhere near the levels directed at her for trying to contain the virus

    In terms of Celtic, if they try the behind closed doors for huns Id refuse just say delay the game.

    As said dont mind if they just bring the break forward after this weekend.

    No World Cup or Euro's this summer makes it far easier to extend the season if needs be. An earlier winter break would suit us perfectly too..

    If we go behind closed doors I would be far more confident with Ange at the helm, hope it doesn't happen tho.

    Would rather games got postponed than go into them with decimated teams, it's too much of a lottery. Having said that who knows when the number of cases is going to get back down to a level where its unlikely to see big outbreaks within squads.

    Guarantee the game on the 2nd either won't get played or huns will be pushing for no fans in the stadium

    Enough is when people start seeing it for what it is! Everything the tinfoil hat lunatics said is coming true. * sake a thick * like me from the concrete jungle in north Belfast called it about the mutations. It just makes business sense to have these bullshit mutations every few months. The pharma companies ain't going to let them profits disappear. The world(well most of it) has been hook, line and sinkerd and I guess it's only the thick * can see it! It's actually amusing now seeing some people still try and justify it. I've a mate, swears by the vaccines and really believes there's a virus out there wiping us all out. First jab he got, told to sit in the waiting area to see if any reactions. Few mins later his head swells up and rushed to hospital! My uncle, a day after second jab months ago hasn't felt the same. Coughs every few breaths and engrgy levels have plummeted since then. Literally * but still sits in front of the tv watching the news in fear and going soon for the booster. Another aunt, can't get out of bed she's thst bad. All after the jab! Used to very lively but now *! Then ya have wee west coast Tommy, walks about without a care in the world, no mask, no vaccine, in and out of pubs, parties shops, filling stations, builders yards and in and out of people's house living without fear and nothing! No sickness, no death or anyone around me either or any so called close contacts!

    Once people stop living in fear, only then will this pantomime finish. Untill then I'm afraid the big pharma party will go on while all your rights are getting eradicated! Only time is going to prove we are right. I actually see it happening now. There is more and more people seeing they have been fooled and not going for any more jabs!




    But with that said, * it! There's a cup final to be win today! Rebels and the Celtic tunes on now getting ready for it. My only sadness, was offered a ticket on Friday night and didn't take it. Sitting here like a * * for not just jumping on a flight over for it!

    I think the game on the second will almost certainly be played behind closed doors… or cancelled / rescheduled.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the last game of the year for us.

    Wouldn’t mind that to be honest. 4 or 5 week break now would be magic.

    I'd definitely be happy with a two weeks break from football now- injuries are killing us.

    Would be over the moon to see us bring the break forward. Bring it forward to Boxing Day. Don’t play any games until after the 10th/11th of January and we should have Julien, Forrest, Jota, Kyogo, Julien and Johnstone all fully fit/back to being fit and we could maybe get 2 or 3 bodies in early January and bed them in for a few days.

    If they say the game on the 2nd is to be behind closed doors we should be telling them to get *, postponement until fans can come back in.

    Unfair advantage to them * not having our fans in our stadium.
