    See this is where it really annoys me…. Stuff other small businesses as whoever works there and tested positive need to do the 10 days but different rules for our government run NHS staff that can go back to work to keep the NHS going🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ 
    What about the carers that go from house to house looking after the older folk… so the carers are all tested but surely then the people they are caring for have the same jabs and tested? 
    These old folk have family going in and out daily  .

    Carers are covered by the same exemption however I know from my wife, who is one, that even following a big recruitment drive and with that exemption the service in our area is on its knees due to sickness and waiting for results. 

    Carers are quite often the only person her clients see, there are some with families who appear to struggle with taking basic precautions to protect their relatives though. 

    I can understand the frustration of small business owners, whilst there may not be immediate threat to life or of illness/ injury its not to say the restrictions may not cause those type of issues.

    I totally get that but it looks to me like the club attempting to bring money in on false pretences? 

    I'm sure "the club" had a masterplan to waste the time of staff and volunteers selling tickets they knew they were going to have to refund....... 

    In terms of matches spreading Covid, I believe its more related to travel to games on supporters buses and public transport and lessening the strain on emergency services who may be needed to Police games etc when their staffing levels are also being hit by Covid and self isolation......

    I heard Rangnick talking about this at the end of last week when he said the Sasche Lense will be working on the training field alongside his coaches so they need to get on board with it. 

    Said something along the lines of its not about players lying on a couch. 

    Quite an interesting field probably the next area for big gains and somewhere we could probably benefit from with the right input.

    No matter how much of a ****-show you may believe a manager is, it is not acceptable to bugger off on an unauthorised holiday. Ever. 

    If this story is correct then I'd expect a disciplinary process to be followed, potentially resulting in termination of contract; even if it were a star player in a high performing team. To not do so would lead to a host of other issues.

    I'm fervently hoping no news is good news and that the lack of an official announcement is down to Ross's fellow directors convincing him to stay on and get it right up those mindless morons who want him out.

    This all day long.....

    I really hope that Ross doesn't walk away, mainly because from everything I've seen he's a good man with the clubs best interests at heart. We all make mistakes and he has said as much before.
    If he does walk away the cretins involved in publicly abusing board members, spitting and what is criminal damage at the very least will see it as a "victory" and feel vindicated...

    Kingdom FM apparently saying the board are backing Grant?

    My take on that is that nothing else can be said until the legal side of stuff is sorted out as it could cost the club a pretty penny by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. 

    Times up imho, we would all have been delighted if Grant had done well and we were on a winning run but that's not the case......

    McCann, McIntyre, Kettlewell, Hughes, Canning, Petrie......that would be the sort of names in the frame that folk need to get their head around.

    its the same situation when it comes to players,  "i want this type of player A"..... like who...."dunno"....you know they might not want to come here, they might not be available or even exist lol....club signs player B......"ah club has no ambition, joke of a club, sack the board blah blah blah".....:laughing:

    Whilst I'm firmly of the point of view that Grant needs to go, this is also very true. 

    Lots of younger fans who didn't experience the depths of the Munro or Scott eras.... 

    Yes, we've had Hay, Kenny and Potter who just didn't work for a variety of reasons but this is the first time I've felt like I did when those two were at EEP.

    Hay didn't inspire me, I really wanted Kenny and Potts to work out, the same with AJ and Crawford but this time it feels different. 

    I wasn't convinced by Grant but his gift of the gab pronouncements got all our hopes up only to be dashed against the rocks.
