    It has to be stored at pretty extreme low temperatures i see. Not ideal but i suspect storage is the easiest part compared to actualy manafacturing it.

    Just heard about the ultra cold storage.  Hell that has to he the easy bit, and a good job creator...sure the tories are lining up their pals already.

    I blame those darned christian quines huddled in their churches then out  spreading the word 🙂

    Seriously though, it would seem the Louisa Jordan will be needed if things dont improve. I dont think some people appreciate how bad things may get. Loads of prison officers in isolation as well. 

    Most people,  and I mean 99% haven't a clue about numbers and have zero understanding of exponential growth. You'd need a hell of an  information message to get that across. 

     

     

    And 99 % of those no longer give a toss.

    I mean it's one thing to be in lockdown if you have a house and a garden or even a flat to yourself. But the idea of being cooped into a residence with strangers whose behaviour could be unpredictable... and being at the mercy of, or being told what to do by, your university landlord, could be claustrophbic... Then again as a student said on the radio, they want to get out and go to university, it's all part of life...

     

    Scotland starting XI vs Czech Republic

    in TA specific

    That was probably worse than Friday.

    Well done Czech's make shift team. They were put together on Saturday night, at most they've had two training sessions - two players among their team had been capped.

    We looked like the side cobbled together.

    So slow, cumbersome, and poor basic skills - how many times do we needesley give it away or can't even pass it straight or string 5-6 passes together before its back to a red shirt. We were offside about 10 times to their 1 ; they had 7 corners to our 0 ; and they had about 18 chances to our 3.  We were lucky with the penalty, incredibly lucky.

    They had massive gaps (just like we did) yet the Czechs actually caused problems in the gaps.

    Palmer is mince ; Cooper doesn't look great ; Haaland vs McKenna is a frightening thought ; Armstrong was horrendous ; Christie trying way too much and very little of it paying off ; Fleck did alright ; MacLean isn't good enough yet probably did the best out of the starters in midfield ; Robertson is not a captain, and Tierney is better IMO ; McTominay is rank as a defender.

    Positives  :

    McGinn actually looked good on the ball and in a better side with quicker thinking players might have caused issues for their team.

    Dykes looks decent. He's probably not good enough at a high level, but he worked his arse off in both games, and some intelligent play. Looks more a player than McBurnie has in his 9 caps.

    Marshall is a decent keeper. Not brilliant, but helped us a fair few times.

    As for Clarke, I am not sure at all. Why try a formation you are supposedly aiming to fit KT and Robbo in to and not play one of them. He's too slow to makes changes, 61st minute before the first change? Is he another Levein with his stubborn ness to show he's boss? I like the guy, but he's not exactly inspirational nor the master coach some have tried to make him out to be.

    We are top of the group by a massive luck of the green by playing a Czech B/C team. I doubt anyone was predicting us hammering them, but to be under the cosh, have absolutely nothing going forward again, horrendous huge gaps that the normal Czech side would easily open up in to. We would have lost about 4-0 tonight, if not for a huge bit of fortune.

    You could argue we are top of the group and unbeaten in five games as a positive. And, we've got Israel coming up who we may well sneak though against yet coming up against Serbia or Norway ; we will surely be put to the sword and handsomely so ; and even if we do shit out a sponny 1-0 win in both games, do we really want to be at the Euros? At least we are forgotten about just now ; if we make it and you've got the world viewing us embarrassing ourselves at a major finals?

    We can't even do basic things right. String 5 or 6 passes together. The panic of just blootering it out to anywhere, no creation or invention in the team. No one good enough to trouble defenders up front. Dykes and Shankland look average enough players and I like what they've done in Scotland jersey, sadly they are not good enough to play against better teams - or to score and break down defenders of better teams.

     

    Utterly depressing.  I'd agree almost 100%.
