    I don't just mean Celtic though mate. I mean generally I have little interest in it. I don't think I have watched one game I haven't had a bet on. ( i have kept up with most of them just on Futbol24 or Livescores so I know the results. Like I say it is not really just a Celtic thing, although I said at the weekend I am struggling to get up for the Celtic games as well with no crowd. I'm not overly concerned by us dropping 2 points as that can happen at any point during the season.
    In terms of when will football be back to normal obviously I have no idea, but I think I would just rather wait until that time if it were possible. Although the financial factors mean obviously it probably isn't. I just think at the minute there is too much being decided off the pitch rather than on it. Be it by the courts or the politicans ( whoever they are) and it means it just isn't the same for me.

    Aye, a cant see crowds going back at all to full capacity for ages, possibly when there is a vaccine. More so the burden it puts on transport and the movement of people in the city it causes. On the other hand, any big game we have against the huns etc, loads will be breaking some sort of social distancing rules, big house parties, in boozers and on the streets. Absolutely no chance supporters from both sides will stay away from the stadium as well, with no police segregation like at games, it is a tough one for the authorities.

    Weren’t you in the Covid thread a few weeks ago ‘praying’ for Spain or somewhere else not to get a second wave?

    Some change of tune.

    I very much doubt that, I do believe there is a coronavirus going around, but is it what we are being told I don’t think so. Did you check out what I posted or is this your retort on the matter?

    Aye mate he’s stole my account, all I’m saying is things should be questioned. The test they are using isn’t suitable that’s from the guy who created the test, all the while you have face mask nazis pulling others up for not wearing them. Yes there is a coronavirus out there that is a more powerful strain than we have seen before, but why are they adjusting the numbers or putting terminal cancer patients down as Covid deaths?

    I think the discrepancies can mostly be explained by the lack of universal criteria being used by countries, under-resourced healthcare services and incompetence.

    Basically in England if you had tested positive for Covid-19 and died within 60 days, it was regarded as a Covid-19 death even though there could be comorbidities that were more or soley the primary cause. In Scotland, it's 28 days.

    The question is if you have finite staff resources would you want to utilise them on rigorously investigating each case to ensure Covid-19 was absolutely the main cause or would you use it to keep alive living Covid-19 patients in wards and catching up on the backlog of operations and treatments that were delayed due to the pandemic.

    It is problematic when those potentially inaccurate figures are influencing policy, procurement, legislation etc. though so I do think it's a topic that should be discussed and a universal, standardised assessment reached between countries.

    Genuinely baffled how you’ve changed your tune so much in a few weeks.
    What part is it that’s your argument? It’s a live blog and got 5 pages.

    What are we being told and what is it you don’t believe about it?

    Yeah that’s why England have changed their numbers, but the case I seen was of a terminally ill cancer patient who had Covid-19 put on his death certificate until the family challenged it. I’ve heard there could be money involved with this as Covid deaths are being given extra funding, this is definitely happening in America. As I said I’m not denying there is a strain of coronavirus killing people, but I do think this is being way overplayed though that’s only my opinion.

    I’m not denying there’s a coronavirus strain I’m challenging that it’s as bad as they are saying, I am doing so after looking into the way they are testing people. This PCR test isn’t to test for viruses it’s a genome test, that’s why people are getting back different results. People are allowed to change their minds over stuff you know, but you carry on listening to the pish the MSM are feeding you it makes perfect sense.

    Yep, there will definitely be some smoke and mirrors involved in reporting figures - both under and over. There always is when money is involved.

    That's why I think an agreed and standardised evaluation process would be the best way forward.
