    For those who are vaccinated and boosted.. such as myself.. I don't know how we can say anything else but we've been lied to.

    We’re not protecting anyone to be honest. So far no one is getting ill.

    She thinks she's the north Korean leader and limit people's freedom and we should be on the streets with our pitchforks and lighted torches and head to the Scottish parliament and tell her to come out and face the people .

    Roughly 4% of hospital beds being taken up by covid patients, and we are basically back to square one, what a joke. Celtic should be demanding that the winter break starts now in my opinion. It’s an unfair league now with this decision.

    For me measurements just have to be consistent but here, and not for the first time, they're not. It doesn't make sense to limit outdoor events to 500 people when shopping centers, restaurants and pubs are still open. And was there ever a football game as a super spreader event?

    Will the pubs be limited so you can have 1m distancing if the game is going on on the 2nd? If not those will become the super spreader events she's afraid of. Sturgeon just lost all the credibility. Well, I already thought she's mad when she made up this senseless 5 mile rule during the first lookdown, as if there wouldn't have been enough space in the highlands for people going on a walk with 3m distance :giggle1:

    What a shambles 500 at outdoor events but the pubs and indoor events can stay open. 500 at 60k Celtic park but the same number at other stadiums that barely hold 5k !!! Huns had more in George Square ffs and nothing done !!!! Get a jab they said, get your second jab they said and everythng will be rosy. Get a booster they said and save Xmas !!! A year on and here we are dealing with the same * !!!

    500 at parkhead is clearly different than 500 at a small championship stadium. There's no thought out into this.

    It was % size before, why not now

    Can someone tell me the exit plan now?

    We’ve got a heavily vaccinated population, very few getting ill.

    This variant will spread to everyone. It’s not going to go away.

    We could get variants better at spreading, so we just keep shutting down forever?

    What’s the plan here? Last year it was to get vaccinated, now what?

    Could everycunt PLEASE stop getting tested. It’s basically a cold if you’re vaccinated so stop being dicks and giving them excuses to ruin all our lives for * all.

    Celtic must push for break.

    There are literally thousands being risked for the sake of 1 week, fans/staff/players.

    They can look forward to it all they like.

    I just find the notion that she enjoys this, or is ‘out to get us’ nonsensical.

    No doubt there will be a big social stigma campaign in the press to try and make everyone feel like scum for having the audacity to want to watch the game with friends/family.

    Aye… and we know how gooodcthey are at making sensible decisions.

    I realise you find it difficult not to defend her and her government in things covid .. but there are serious double standards here.

    Effectively Closing down outdoor spectator sport which has already been heavily hit and confirmed to passport implementation … while allowing all other hospitality (indoors) to continue without hindrance…

    It’s a real slap in the face and actually quite insulting to football. Clearly they are not closing football down so don’t have to give any financial support despite this costing clubs severely. “You’re on your own football.” Yet other hospitality will be getting support while remaining open anyway.

    They’ve looked around at things involving large numbers of people and dished out restrictions on the ones that won’t cost them any money…

    …. but keep shopping, meet your extended family, enjoy the pub and restaurants, keep schools going etc etc..

    I’d actually argue that any serious damage re. infection rates will be due to the next few days and Christmas mixing.. not from Boxing Day onwards and outdoor sporting events…

    500 includes all the staff etc so more like 300 spectators

    It’s not about hospital numbers ffs
    We all agree this strain is more virulent
    If thousands more get it then yes they’ll probably only feel like they have a cold but
    If you have it then you need to isolate
    So the more that have it the more that need to isolate….that means even less people who provide social or hospital care cannot go to work. Same as shops, pubs etc.
    But let’s do what some on here are saying and * it just do as you please. So when 100000’s are isolating because we couldn’t stop the spread you are guaranteed many will be nurses doctors paramedics. So if your loved one takes seriously ill and you phone an ambulance but they say sorry canny get one for 8 hours as the majority need to isolate will you still be happy to * it
