Agreed Pete. We were all ill prepared and have struggled to get to grips with it. I honestly do think every nation (with the exception of some of what trump/States have done) has tried to do their best in unprecedented times though. Look at even Germany’s numbers for the second wave...and I rate...

Not sure who Ian Harris is but he should at least do proper comparibles (on an annualised basis), not just picking and choosing random figures from some countries and not others. where’s the deaths for Spain, Italy, France for Nov ?!! Is he saying we should’ve been more like Sweden ? ps Im...

It’s pathetic ! I could understand it more if it was the AZ/Oxford vaccine which the government have substantially funded, otherwise why even pass any more comment other than ‘great news etc etc’

Nope, you’re not the only one Shmmeee, it will be five days at 3pm for me too. Will call them to flag it as they need to know if there’s issues in the system (my mate, also Birmingham based, also had one on Friday, got his back late Saturday). Just unlucky I guess.

Hope alls ok. There’s so much going around at this time of year, fingers crossed nothing serious

Id hope (although who knows yet) that science and research/innovation/tech can be major areas of focus as a nation in future. It would be criminal if we didn’t capitalise on areas of strength. The fact is though that it will be up to all future UK governments (conservative, labour or whoever) to...

Whats that mate ?

Hmmm, not sure our defensive record prior to those games backs that up. I do think Derby were there for the taking (mentally as much as anything) if we’d just had a real go but not sure about the other two. Hopefully Robins will continue to tweak things until we get the right balance but only...

He’s really impressed me so far. Confident in coming for crosses, quick off his line, decent enough with ball at his feet. Let’s hope it continues as he looks a good young keeper

I’ll whisper it quietly but one area the government has done well in was the early/pre acquisitions of various (6/7) vaccines. It put us in a decent place whoever succeeded in rolling out first. Still hoping for the AZ/Oxford vaccine though as it will be a National/International game changer in...

With Kelly and Dabo back in, the team looks more solid as well so reckon the team can handle two up top better than we did earlier in the season

Not the best performance and possibly could’ve given it more of a go earlier but had some decent chances and showed some heart at the end. Happy enough with a point

They’ll just stick everyone (almost everyone) in T3 so it will be all but a national lockdown anyway

Exactly, they know a percentage of people will ignore certain rules hence them giving leeway on Christmas. I just hope there’s very clear messaging around reducing risk and asking people to display some common sense. Already few mates and I have decided it’s not worth the risk to see elderly...

I’m not going to get into the whole tier discussion as I’m guessing we’re all a bit f*cked off (well those of us in T3) A couple of easy wins for the government though: Why not just disclose full commentary/data on for each of the five criteria for each region so at least theres some proper...

Makes more sense than being frozen out. He’s always been Robins main man on the pitch. Might struggle with two games a well but was quality tonight. Great win

Good point. I thought Dabo was going to be rested tonight after Fridays game but let’s hope he’s able to play himself back into fitness (and form)

Agree with this (and with NW earlier) but now just doesn’t feel the right time when hundreds of thousands in the private sector will be made redundant and there’s a public sector pay freeze. ps I think they do ok with pensions, perks etc but still probably not going to attract the best from...

This is the time for MPs to step up, show us that things have improved since the expenses scandal and we are all in this together......apart from some notable exceptions I won’t hold my breath !

Yeah, they were debating it on LBC (maajid nawas) yesterday so I had a look at the article and some of the stats. Let’s just say the actual data wasn’t quite as supportive as the article/Naawas suggested. That’s not to say it should be all discounted but it wasn't being accurately portrayed ie...
