  1. Sacrifice your privacy? Most of the population walk about with tracking devices in their pockets and freely share the most intimate information about themselves, willingly, with colossal American tech companies and advertisers everyday. But yeah, I can see why after 18 months of limitations on our movement and 1000's of deaths letting Rangers know if you've had the vaccine aimed at pulling us out of this hell is your biggest concern right now. They already have your address, your credit history and your bank details, if they wanted to destroy you they can do it already. I don't need to ask myself anything. The NHS was close to being overwhelmed every winter before Covid, if even 0.5% of those not vaccinated end up needing hospitalisation the NHS would be unable to cope. There are literally thousands of people waiting for NHS treatment for non-Covid related issues currently, some of those people will die before they get it. That's before we even attempt to calculate the financial and social cost of the last 18 months. Everyone of us should be doing what we can to reduce the incidence and severity of Covid. Currently, the vast majority of professionals in the field of medicine say getting vaccinated is the best way out of this. You may disagree with them, fair enough. I'm not sure what your bacterial and immunology qualifications are, but until you're recognised for the expertise in this field you seem to think you have then the rest of us can continue to ignore you and instead listen to those who have spent their entire lives preparing for this. I'm old enough to remember when some people were furious that the government were insisting that motor-cyclists wear helmets. This was an invasion of their privacy, the Government had no right to tell some what they can and can't wear was the argument then. Likewise similar arguments were aired by enraged civil-libertarians when seat belt wearing was made compulsory in cars too. The government has no right to involve themselves in people's lives like that, apparently. Bull shit. We don't live in a bubble, our actions have consequences and ripples that might be unintentional but they are real and long lasting all the same. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident while not wearing a helmet you are, on average, 42% more likely to die and 69% more likely to suffer a serious brain injury. Aside from the immediate trauma of the people who first arrive at the scene of the accident, there's the police and ambulance crew who'll spend hours of their time attending to you, the many, many specialist hospital staff who'll try and save your life and then slowly try and rebuild it, perhaps months of physio and rehabilitation and maybe ongoing costs if you're unable to return to work or even live it at home again. Plus there's your immediate family, friends, neighbours and colleagues who will have to deal with the fall out of your actions. Catching Covid is not without consequences. It's not just you it affects. Get over yourself, you're not actually that important in the grand scheme of things. The sooner we are able to emerge from this and return to life as we knew it the better. If that means showing Pizza Express a slip of paper when I make booking or having to deal with possibly the worst ticket office in the Scottish football then so be it. It's a small price to pay.

  2. Not sure, but it would be great if so, although i would miss the fun of them losing to some teams we have never heard of!!

  3. We're winning while not playing particularly well, that's a big positive. That's why Tav is our number 1 right back, he'll deliver a goal scoring opportunity or even a goal in almost every match he plays. Stunning technique for that goal. St Johnstone are horrible to watch, remind me of Motherwell under Tommy McLean.

  4. BBC Scotland have no credibility and have not done so for years. That is the major issue here. They lack accountability & credibility

  5. Real, PSG, Barca and Juve all outbid by Brentford for Ajer and Palace for Edouard. Stunning. And why have City and Chelsea allowed their closest title rivals to strengthen?

  8. Stewart's articulation and grammar are rather poor, for someone who wants to come across as intelligent. Given the standard of parliamentarians his nationalist party provides the nation, it must be quite an embarrassment for him that he was refused the opportunity to stand for them. In short, he's a bitter imbecile.

  9. It's hardly informative for you to restate your support for vaccine passports without any supporting argument. One is left wondering why so many words are required.

  11. I believe Simpson is not in our Euro squad. Of all the areas in the field I never saw centre back as a problem one, yet now we could be looking at Balogun and Leon King for Thursday?

  13. Can't bieve Sunetra Gupta is still kicking about, she's been discredited so many times even the BBC and their need for balance don't have her on anymore.

  14. I suppose these days you can go down the woke road and just identify as a person who's been double vaccinated

  15. Tav for the world class strike that sealed the 3 points and for the challenge near the end that probably prevented an equaliser.

  16. St Pauli is a district of Hamburg. It is very right on, in my experience. I have no idea why the football club would have a pipe band* or why the pipe band would perform in a room with Union Flags though. *I have no idea why anyone would - what a racket.

  17. Well, Andy Walker certainly didn't. "He couldn't do it again? COULD HE?"?As @Uilleam commented earlier, I wish he and his mate Crocker would self isolate permanently!

  18. Fantastic result , decent performance , just as Tav hit it I was screaming at the Tav for him to hit the back post , goes to show what I know lol . Hope big Phil is ok otherwise Thursday could be messy , don’t really feel comfortable with Simpson just now , looks far too light weight for me .

  19. When he hit it, I thought it was going miles over the bar but before I can snarl an oath, the ball’s in the net. Anyone else get the dread when Clark went lolloping up for the last seconds corner?

  20. Say what you like about Kent, but the lad never stops looking for the ball and keeps plugging away. His work-rate is incredible right across games and he covers every blade of grass. Yes, he's not at his dangerous best right now (which player is?) but the threat he carries is obvious and it was him that got us back into the game.
