Willie Miller's tache

So no direct response from Ms Sturgeon to my email as of yet but it would seem it has prompted her to effectively delay the passport scheme until after the Israel match: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-58721564

I’m very pleased you raised this because I am in exactly the same position (and I daresay plenty of others are too). Recent BBC article says: “The government said it was working to ensure that the system would work for people across the UK, while also considering how to verify the vaccine status of non-UK residents.” So it seems they are working on it. Let’s hope they have successfully done so by 9 October. In the meantime, I have taken the advice of the other responder to your post and asked Nicola: FirstMinister@gov.scot Will let you know what she says….

Totally agree but would add that engurlund fans are almost as bad when they win. A weird, uptight bunch who don’t know how to enjoy themselves.

I know. Takes a good 5 mins these days for it to sink in we’ve actually scored!

Dry yer eyes, Ian Wright

A draw against the febs is ordinarily a good result but can’t help think they were there for the taking. Shouldn’t complain I suppose

Cruel cruel goal

Yes, I think that’s still the rule

Need gilmour to put his foot on the ball in the midddle of the park. Mcginn unusually quiet?

Bollocks

Positive enough start though

Mcginn should’ve got rid of that rather than wait for the foul (that wasn’t given)

I really hope he brings on gilmour rather than mcgregor if the midfield needs changing at some stage.

Glad to see you were up early to get your copy. Hang in there big man.

Absolutely. I really hope Armstrong starts the next match. I really don’t rate McGregor. He might be good at waltzing through mediocre midfields in the SPL but he is nowhere near international class imo

I couldn’t give a shit who the commentator is. I just want Scotland to be a bit better at football

I’d forgotten how shit we are. Israel were the better team there

Congratulations. Lovely news

Darren Ferguson 1993?

Boca v river plate, galatasary v fenerbahce and dortmund v Schalke. I understand the krakow derby can be quite intense as well.

That’s exactly what I thought. Psychopathic almost. There’s no doubt he had a v difficult early life but you just wonder if things would have worked out differently for his brother (the one person who had been with him from the start) if he had treated him a bit better

My brother supports for hartlepool for some bizarre reason (ok, when he was about 5 listening to Frank bough reading out the classifieds, he was convinced he was saying “hairy poo United”. Naturally, he found it hilarious and has been an ardent supporter since - ~45 years). Anyway, I’ve been to a fair few away games with him and about 90% of the songbook is about their hatred for darlo, ranging from their dodgy chairman to their botched and embarrassing attempt to sign asprilla. Tbh, I don’t think there’s much, if any, by way of their own past glories for ‘pool fans to sing about. Getting to the giddy heights of the league 1 play off final seems a v long time ago now

Quite a few decent films shown by BT sports recently. Liked the ones about Wimbledon’s rise from non league to FA cup winners in the 80s and Forest being double European cup winners under clough. Will look out for apartheid in South African sport

No. I entered into a contract with an airline to get me from A to B on a specific date and they were unable to fulfil their side of the bargain, albeit due to circumstances outside their control. How the airline uses their income from passengers is a matter for them and nothing to do with the contract. I’m fairly sure I’m due a refund but I’m not a contract lawyer and my question was whether anybody knew anything differently. Some airlines might go bust which makes the offer of a voucher even less attractive. I think the government will provide bail outs though - its not in their interests to allow all the airlines to go bust.

I understand why airlines want to offer vouchers (which will be worthless after they go into administration and then reinvent themselves as “new” airlines) but surely they are legally obliged to refund us in full now. Whilst it may be hard on them at the moment, I cannot see any justification for them keeping our money for flights that they were unable to fulfil, albeit for reasons beyond their control. Anybody know of a reason why that can’t be the case?
