    Surely more than 20% of people had been in a cafe, bar or restaurant in the previous fortnight?

    20% of those who tested positive and were contacted by tracers according to Govt figures although I believe it has now gone up to 23%

    So  between 5 and 20 PC have  been in a pub or restaurant and MAY have caught it there, if there are ones who aren't doing the controls properly,  by all means,  close them. That  still leaves between 80 and 95 PC who haven't..

    outdoor contact sports also stopped , is there evidence that there have been any transmission from this , genuine question??

    House gatherings will continue unabated where presumably the vast majority are occurring 

    ...sledgehammer to crack a nut comes to mind 

    The reason the Govt know those figures is because track and trace is working in those circumstances.

    It’s the punters who cause the problems by giving false contact details so they could potentially be wandering about spreading the virus without even knowing they’ve been in contact with someone in the pub at the same time who has tested positive and might even be positive themselves

    Those are likely the same ones who don’t wear masks in shops and go to house parties every week.

    Its virtually impossible to prove whether someone has caught the virus through contact sports.

    The affected  Accies/Killie/St Mirren players could have caught it in a shop or restaurant just as easily as at a training session

    All any Govt can do is try and stop people meeting in large numbers to slow down the spread and unfortunately for us football falls into that category.

    Anyway hope our 2 guys haven’t been anywhere near Stuart Armstrong.

    I'm honestly amazed at how many folk are struggling with this...'I can sit on the bus to go an get my messages' so 'how can I not sit on a bus to a midweek cup game in Dundee'

    Because going for your messages is an essential journey, going to a football match isn’t

    Fair enough , but if we had figures to indicate where and how transmission takes place, e.g pubs/ restaurants apparently are something like 5% of cases .

    It would be interesting to know how widely it has been transmitted in an outdoor setting ,therefore with some sort of breakdown, it would be   easier to risk assess rather than just stop things completely.

    if the track/ trace system is working effectively, these figs should be available.

     

    Contact tracing has established that approx 1 in 5 people or 20% who tested positive had been in a cafe/bar/restaurant in the 14 days prior to being tested so think the 5% figure infection rate from those type of premises might be vastly underestimated.

    As a manager he still pretty inexperienced, right? So I’m sure he’ll improve with experience to where he will have less need to turn things around in the first place. 

    I’m sure he will.

    There hasn’t been a Manager in history that hasn’t had to turn things around at some point. Some succeed and some don’t.

    The ones that do tend to have longer and more successful careers

    Doubt there would be much of a case unless they could prove negligence. Nobody was forcing them to go in the first place.

    Funny enough I was out with a friend who is a Lawyer In one of those firms who specialise in no win no fee accident claims and he was saying that they had already had quite a few people contacting them to see if they would take on their case because they had caught Covid.

    Joked that his firm was opening up a new dept called Coronavirus Claims 4U.

    I hope he was joking but wouldn’t be surprised if something like that did happen eventually

  7. All this chat about how we are heading for certain relegation got me thinking about what fans of other clubs are saying about their team so I took a couple of hours to scrawl through all the forums of RossCo,St Mirren et al and guess what?

    They are saying the same things about their teams that we’re saying about ours.

    Truth of the matter is that the quality of our League this season is crap and every team in the bottom 8 are as bad as each other.

    Whether that is down to the unusual circumstances with Covid or not I don’t know but not having the usual build up to games and the lack of match atmosphere might be having a negative effect on every team.

    Just as a side note , and nothing to do with football ...why are some people walking alone outside with masks on? 

    Maybe they’re on their way to blag someone’s house and don’t want to get caught on CCTV.

  9. Any redevelopment of the Main stand would presumably need the land that the 2 houses at the South stand end sit on.

    The last 2 houses sold on Firpark St went for approx 260k each in 2018/2019

    So even supposing you could convince the 2 householders to sell at that price (which they probably wouldn’t), when you add up demolition land clearance,fees etc you could be looking at up to 1m before you even start any redevelopment work.

  10. There are lots of reasons previously stated about why a move to Celtic is the best option for Davie like being close to home winning titles and better wages etc, but see tbh if I was a young talented Scottish player, the prospect of playing St Mirren, St Johnstone Livingston et al 4 times a season for the next 3/4 years would make me want to slit my wrists.

    Id much rather try my hand in a different League playing against better teams in better stadiums and expand my horizons s bit.

    There are a number of English teams and at least one German team monitoring his situation closely

    Watch this space, Celtic will not have it all their own way 

    Davie is a bit of a home bird so I don’t think he’ll be venturing too far away.

    Newcastle would be ideal
