That was a strong consideration on Saturday considering the weather. Risk of catching covid outdoors is 5% of it in a confined space according to the latest doctor who was also urging football fans wear a mask. For now I'll take my chances sitting outside with the masses - not like we make enough noise to generate spit that could infect either. ;)

Of course we won’t have to wear masks. The club don’t give a sh*t.

The club issued a code of conduct telling us we have to wear face masks indoors and in the undercrofts. But no one does, not even the stewards.

Even to prevent the common cold and influenza it is wise. Bacteria. You may cover your mouth with a scarf or hood? There will be shouting and risk of spreading the particles saliva as is live football ?

People who wear the are considerate, those that don’t, arseholes.

That’s it.


I can only assume the latest TV adverts regarding how the virus is transmitted and the changes in mask wearing rules from today are rubbish then, 🤡

Rees Fog is notorious for not wearing masks.

I’d sooner take note of Public Health England.
The point is Tories are arseholes in reply to your
point On those who dont wear Masks

I wish the government would take far stronger measures as well, use vaccine passports to enter pubs, theaters, supermarkets etc and make it compulsory to wear masks, if not head shields when in shops. Lastly make people like Piers Corbyn, the anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist, go and see recovering covid patients to convince him the disease is real and not fake.
I don't always agree with what a lot of what you say but this is a great post ,100% behind you !!!

Ok and thanks. Meanwhile look at how other EU countries are now acting to the threat of Covid in the coming months. See my thread about ''Greece giving over 60s a monthly fine if they refuse to have the Covid vaccination'' !

I am not an anti Vaxxer and have had all the covid shots including the booster. I do wonder if in the next 10 years we will see many people with side effects. At my age I didn't see any risk but for young people I do see why they may not want to be vaccinated.
What about the same people that don’t want to wear a mask either?
No excuse for that. It's not going to have side effects.

Sorry admin but as long as there is nothing hateful or offensive then surely it should not matter? Isn't a forum meant to be for people's opinions and to debate them??

Always found JC extremely unfunny but he’s now convinced me he’s a tw*t as well. It’s the sign of a very weak comedian if you have to make fun of your audience, it’s the “cheapest” of laughs to get from the spectators.

A lot of the thoughts and opinions which were referred to as “conspiracy lies/theories” in early 2020 have turned out to be true. Will you allow people back in if they get banned for a “lie” which then turns out to be true or will you give a grace period of say 2-4 months between the “lie” being told and actually going ahead with the ban?

What, exactly, has been proven to be true? You'd need to remind us of the "conspiracy/lie" as it was posted in early 2020 first and then explain how these have turned out to be correct.

Are you telling me that you need me to inform you about one example of something which was dismissed as conspiracy theories and has now happened? Are you serious? I’m not sure if you’re winding me up or if your tv has been turned off for 2 years but here you go here’s one from February this year - at the time we who said they WILL INDEED introduce them eventually were branded paranoid conspiracy loonies.

No one, I was responding to the previous posters request of an example of something which was once branded “conspiracy theories/loony talk/conspiracy lies” but then turned out to be true and happen indeed.

I asked for specifics because it's too easy to pick out a random topic, which may, or may not, have been ridiculed on here, and say it's now happened. I believed you meant that some of the loony tunes conspiracy theorists on here had been proven to be correct. I asked for examples of this. I haven't seen any yet.

Christ some of you are predictably depressing.

If you can’t distinguish what is conspiracy theory bullshit and what isn’t then you really shouldn’t be left near sharp implements.

I wasn’t aware we were talking solely about this forum, I haven’t been on here long enough to have that data only joined august last year (I think) I was referring to people and society in general friends family workplace etc etc.

My point stands though we’re all adults and I think we should be allowed discussion and opinions even if we do not agree it’s the only way to learn from your peers I love a discussion and I love listening to my peers opinions and thoughts.

None of us here know what’s true and what’s a lie when it comes to this matter so why not allow the conversation to flow?
