Very sorry to hear that Crooky. Just awful.

As you say, I think it’s almost worse the fact family can’t be with people at the end & then at funerals - just dreadful.

Takes a lot to tug my heartstrings as I’ve seen and been through a lot in my time, but the story of that 13 year old lad who died alone & then got buried with nobody there was heartbreaking. I’ve got a 14 & a 11 year old. Just unimaginable.

Hands up, I thought all this was a massive overreaction when it first kicked off. Got that totally wrong.

All the best to Boris & everyone else affected by this. Can’t wish ill will on folk just because you might disagree with their politics.

All the best to you & yours Crooky min.

Spot on pal.

More greedy b@starditis in football.

La Liga talking about possibly playing matches again from 28 May as they are on the hook to lose €1Billion if they don't play the season to a finish. This in a country where about 700 people a day are still dying.

It truly beggars belief but expect similar in the other big 5 leagues. Hell mend them all.

That is what they deserve when the pay their players silly money to kick a ball. Football as a sport have been embarrassing in their handling of this epidemic. According to Cormack (if I remember correctly) FIFA have £3billion in the bank. Let them help the clubs instead of asking punters to pay to help the clubs.
If it was up to me then all clubs should have done what any other normal business had to do and used the government furlough rules. Why should you as a fan help pay say for example Dylan McGeouch’s inflated wages? Let him tuff it out like anyone else.

One of the reasons I fell out of love with football.
It's all about money and nothing else now, cheating, greed, average players earning obscene wages, just sick of it now.

It’s still great in the lower leagues. Watching 2 teams try to win the game takes you back

Aye, it’s the only answer.
But difficult to break the habit of a lifetime

I had forgotten how appallingly English (London) biased the BBC television news was.

We really shouldn’t have to watch this crap in Scotland.
