Like you I have been waiting for the poster who was complaining about not enough football topics on this forum to set up his own topics. .
Nothing... All talk and no action."
Take your point Returnofrross, I haven't thought of any new topics to start re football.....yet! And Douglas re "All talk and no action" I have been posting on here since 2013 but am not a prolific poster indeed not likely to start many topics but contributing when I felt I wanted/needed to. I have tended to post more on the Dark Blues site but that is just my choice. A few years ago I got into a few verbal rammies with some of the many numpties over on Dayglo Mad but have had little to say of late - that may change!
However on the basis that if you can't beat them join them here are a few of my non football views. I cant disagree with anything in your OP on this topic Returnofrros. My political views are that Independence would be an utter disaster for Scotland. I can hardly name one SNP politician up here or down in Westminster that I think is competent and their single minded banging on about independence during the current crisis is deplorable. My main worries about independence are the currency issue i.e. we are never going to be allowed to carry on using Sterling, easily at least, the Euro is a non starter failing us getting back into Europe, god forbid, and that is unlikely also as we would be way below the minimum economic entrance requirements currently set out for prospective new members and as for a Scottish Pound god help us!!
Re Covid. I think most politicians (even Nicola and her mates and Boris down south) are on a hiding to nothing. It is never simply a case of the politicians doing/saying/wanting something and the opposing parties wanting the opposite. Much of the time the opposition is saying that the politicians are doing too much or too little, too many rules or too few all at the same time. I think that a lot of our rules don't make sense though and are contradictory with each other but I dont go down the road that we should do nothing, just more sensible policies and one set for the whole of the UK albeit with the ability to have regional variations. It doesn't matter what Westminster bring out. Even if it was the most sensible, well thought out, reasonable proposal ever the SNP and the Welsh/Irish governments would come up with something different just for the hell of it.
I've voted various ways in the past and have little time for politicians of all parties. If there was a Party Against Political Correctness then I would surely vote for them which brings me to my hatred of all the overblown PC nonsense around today. I deplore the situation where you cannot make any point disagreeing with many folk without having racism/***ism and any other 'ism you care to mention thrown at you. My own opinion is that REAL racism, ***ism etc. etc. are criminally underminded by all the 'woke' (and I hate that word too) nonsense abounding in this country.
And to finish
Taking The Knee - Maybe once and I could say fair enough but imo it it virtue signaling nonsense nothing to do with Scottish Football.
BLM- As with most of these protest groupings the extremists take over and go way over the top negating any good in the original message.
Face Coverings - Don't like them. Don't think that they will protect the wearer but if there is even a small chance that wearing one will protect other vulnerable groups from say asymptomatic Covid spreaders then reluctantly I will & do wear them.
