    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    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...

    Just had a strange phone call

    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)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    Id even take that at the moment though (concerned Birmingham will end up in T3) Interesting comments in the Guardian article ‘Tier positions will be reviewed every 14 days, and will be based on five criteria: case numbers across all age groups; cases in those aged over 60; the rate of rise or...

    They’re not there yet but as mentioned previously, it’s something we should be proud of if it gets fully authorised. It’s one we’ve financially backed as a country and as you say we/they aren’t looking to profit. Could be massive not just for us but globally, especially if it’s correct that it...
