    EFL rescue package

    Is this basically that the Prem don't want the bad press of the taxman kicking off and threatening to wind up EFL clubs but want to do the bare minimum they can get away with?

    Injury updates

    It really seems at the moment every injury turns out to be the worst case scenario.

    Match Thread Rotherham

    What we need is the EFL to let us play 13 or 14 players. Then we can be tight at the back, not get overrun in midfield and have 2 men up front. Why has Robins not got this sorted yet?

    Noticed last night when they were talking about who gets the vaccine first, which seems to be changing as medical professionals are being bumped down the queue, they slipped in that we're getting an initial 800K doses, enough for 400K people, but have no timeframe on when we'll be getting...

    Fair point. I live in Finham and thinking about it when things are back to normal if I was still working from home and decided I wanted to pop out for a coffee or to grab lunch unless its a pub visit then its a case of getting in the car to go somewhere. You'd hope if more people are spending...

    Weight and working out

    While I was on furlough I've consistently been losing weight. A stone down roughly every six weeks. Back to work and guess what? 2 pounds back on. Literally noting has changed apart from I was off work and now I'm back. Bet the doctor still denies stress is anything to do with it :mad:

    The suggestion from Hancock the other day was that we retain testing capacity in the future and use it for things like flu. A change of mindset from we must carry on no matter what to making an effort to stop things spreading around. Things like people actually staying at home if they are ill...

    Completely agree with this but suspect there will be a push to go back to the old ways. We had a meeting at work where we had to go round every person in the company saying if we preferred WFH or being in the office. Literally everyone said WFH was better for them. We then got a memo with...

    This was my concern as soon as the government started talking about people having to use their own sense of judgement. Seeing pictures of people queuing for hours outside Primark before it opened and pubs stretching 'substantial food' to its absolute limit hasn't eased my concerns.

    Grenfell files lost forever

    There's been a few things coming out in this enquiry that, to say the least, don't look good.

    Absolutely tragic and unforgivable. I get how people fell through the cracks when they were rushing things in but we're months down the line now and these things have been flagged up repeatedly. No excuse at this stage. Sunak was on TV the other day claiming he'd been having talks with Excluded...

    I read something about this. It was to do with the US only accepting data from tests that take place in the US so it would only delay approval there. They said the timescale to approval in the EU and UK wouldn't be impacted.

    In shocking news turns out he was talking bollocks again. The Chief Exec of our regulator said it makes no difference as European law still applies until January 1st.

    Shipley

    Some of the comments on here are way over the top. The guy was a regular in two promotion campaigns for us, he can't be that bad! Lets be honest, if Robins had the money a lot of players in our squad would be reserves at best but we don't have that luxary and Robins and the coaching staff...

    Thats for testing. Although not sure whey we will need a large capacity testing centre once we have everyone vaccinated.

    Brilliant work indeed, at the start of this it was being suggested we were talking years for a vaccine. Hopefully people don't go mad at Xmas and we can keep the downward trend in cases going.
