Does anyone have a clue what is happening?
covid passports needed in Scotland from the 1st October for large events. So the Israel game will be the first major test?
I am a bit worried as I live in England and although I have been vaccinated my nhs app shows valid in England.
if the idea is just to prove I’ve been vaccinated then great.
but if they are developing a new app that will confirm if you have been vaccinated in Scotland, where does that leave us that no longer live there?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….

Thing is, Qatar is a different fish. No way your average thug will travel. And if they get pished and fight, expect lengthy and harsh jail time.
This isn’t new with England, it’s just the first time it’s happens en masse in London.
See Marseilles (98 & 2016), Dublin, Amsterdam, Algarve in Euro 2004, Madrid and any English club that travels. They are a mob.
Compare and Contrast Scotland fans and Scotland Clubs (Exception being Rangers (I have a definite alignment theory to their fans and English in general).
We are generally good natured, have a bevvie, mingle with the locals.
Theres a bit of expectation management. We expect to lose, England can’t handle losing.
Anyway, just a few thoughts.

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.

Has VAR disallowed it yet?
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

O’Donnnell & Dykes aff.
Srill allowed 5 subs at 3 intervals?
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?
-
-
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.

Missed the Clough one unfortunately.
The Wimbledon one was good and it reminded was a totally, odious git Fashanu is..
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

Ive only been to a JPT game so far, but thought the atmosphere at that was decent all things considered.
Not a patch on Hartlepool though, went to a national league game there, was absolutely bouncing. Who knew they hated Darlington so much... 🤷♂️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

Yeah I saw it a few weeks ago. Really interesting especially their trip to play Corinthians in Brazil.
Well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it.
I think that was part of a series of numerous films BT Sport have shown in the last 6-7 weeks featuring several sports.
One of the other ones that stood out was Apartheid in South African sport.
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

When you buy a flight you aren't paying for your upcoming flight your really paying for previous flights the airline has run and the ongoing running costs of the airline.
Not sure how any airlines will survive this without massive government bailouts
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?
Covid passports

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:
