DAVIDB46 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) I suspect a decision from UEFA is due early March , where the rumour the multi nation hosting will be scaled back. The in the dark approach from Sturgeon , will probably not go down well with UEFA who will probably needing more clarity from hosts. With the probable adjusting of the tiers levels and numbers , the chance of crowds at Hampden are pretty non existent .

adamntg Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 You mean the Scottish Government approach of saying that as of the 24th February we cannot say whether the 21st June is going to be the exact date that the science dictates it's safe to open society again? The more you think about it, the idea that anyone can confidently predict a date four months in the future when everything will be ok is absolute bunkum. Maybe we'll get there before that date? I hope so. I doubt UEFA will put any store in that kind of long term planning built on sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but UEFA won’t allow things to drag on indefinitely , the Scottish science always seems to be different from everywhere else’s science .

Debian Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Fortunately regardless of fans being in or not, I've secured an 'Admin' gig with the SFA due to having a good pal in there and will be at all games due to be played at Hampden.

DAVIDB46 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Possibly but if england has crowds and we do not, that may not go down too well with the SNP flag wavers in our support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVIDB46 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) I tried not to make it political earlier but these decisions are political to a degree. England believe they can hold the whole tournament now. It does need a decision soon which I think we will get , but I would rather watch Scotland somwhere even with some crowds , than an empty stadium even if it is at Hampden. Edit: Host nations have to tell UEFA what commitment to the tournament they can offer by March 5th Edited February 24, 2021 by DAVIDB46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only major restrictions will be in relation to travel which is pretty good when you have home advantage in two of the games. Worst case scenario I'll sit in the garden with my mates and listen to it on the radio for old time sake. Whatever happens I'll love every minute of it.

romanticscot Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I understand this is off topic, and feel free to IM me, but why are so many of you so comfortable with a rushed experimental vaccine using technology never used before for a virus that has a 99.9+% survival rate?

bossman4 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 From Twitter this afternoon and BEIN Sports journo Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri BOOM! Euro2021 very likely to be played solely in England as UEFA are opting for the one hosting country format and England is the one they believe being in best position to do so. Decision expected to be taken within mid-April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My maths probably in't what it used to be but is 0.1 % of 5 million 5000, if so can we assume that every one in Scotland has had the virus Not sure why people don't believe the figures, but excess deaths suggest we are miles past your estimates. Figures released by countries are probably way under for political reasons but even they are already way past that figure. Imagine 5000 was the death figure but we had a vaccine that had a 85% success rate going by your figures I think that would mean expected deaths , would be 750. probably less than seasonal flu. Again maths is probably not my best subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
