We are heading for a full scale lockdown in 2 weeks. Since some people cannot keep the virus away from others during isolation then the inevitable will happen. Until we get a vaccine it will continue to be a concern for the human race.

I heard that Stirling Albion and East Fife were struggling and the jutes are obviously worried that they are having to halve the skill seeker payments made to their players.

My god I’ve read some b’ollocks on here but that wins the prize.

Nearly after every match against them we moan about referee decisions etc so I would hope it helps to keep the match officiating as fair as possible. We should give it a try. I suppose we won’t but that’s another reason why Scottish football is behind the times.

Now, if we could only get a wee bit further behind the times (say about 1970) then we should see crowds flock back to watch a game that was enjoyable and felt real.

I fully realise that my father would have said 1950 and my grandfather would have said that the fifties players were a load of pooves and that fitba in the thirties was the b'ollocks.

VAR (and the rules that go with it) is the final straw though, we already have a generation that don't want to leave their bedrooms, this just encourages it.

I know what you mean about folk not leaving their bedrooms etc...it’s the lazy modern attitude though and I agree it’s poor. My point about having VAR to make sure certain decisions get more scrutiny stands though. It would definitely put the ref under more pressure to get the correct decision which can only help in the fairness of the game.
Covid aside....folk need to want to go to the football. Football needs to be entertaining and we as a club have hardly been entertaining for a few seasons now. Hopefully with the likes of Hedges, Wright and Hayes in our starting eleven most weeks we can up the tempo and look attacking. For some reason though the Aberdeen fans in the city don’t want to go to Pittodrie enough. Once fans are allowed back in can I suggest you have a word with fellow business owners in the city and find a way to give out match tickets? Buy a pair of specs and check out the view inside Pittodrie on matchday.

Spot on DD. Fitba today really is Shyte, Any tackle is either a red or a yellow card, the handball in the box is just a complete farce. Folk falling over at the slightest "contact" Only one forward, wingers that always come inside and never hit the by line, playing out from the back then losing it. What really grinds my gears is when there is a free kick around the half way line /your half when it's taken short , a few passes among defenders/midfield, they get pressed and it eventually goes back to the keeper who then lumps it up the park to about the half way line which is where you flocking started from FFS Just get it in the box
VAR is making everything worse if possible Offside/handballs disallow perfectly good goals, I understood it was for a "clear and obvious error", whatever happened to that. The bottom line is we'll still have the same cheating Bitb officiating the clear and obvious errors
Don't know if it is covid but I'm definitely ranting more these days

The most sensible and articulate Red TV co-commentator thus far this season said last night that he was 100% against VAR, *the fanny fitba dilettantes’ current favourite big girlie gimmick*. That’ll do for me.

*may not have been his exact words
