Ed2 how do you see the season playing out with regards to the C.V. situation? Do you think they will bring back playing behind close doors for remainder of the season and a reduction in contact training etc again? Or will they look to cancel the league altogether if things get worse?

{Ed002's Note - They are bringing back playing behind closed doors in Wales next week. There is no plan to cancel the season but obviously if the situation worsens, which it will, then perhaps behind closed doors is the first step.}

Define worsens? No deaths from Omicron variant in the UK, and large majority of population have had at least 2 jabs. Our case number is a true reflection of improvement or worsening?

{Ed002's Note - Worsens relates to hospital pressure and there have already been some deaths and that number will grow.}

Navy first week of January is when you'll see the worse of Omicron when it comes to deaths etc.

People won't buy it in this country, especially how the government behaved and broken rules, why should anyone else follow them?

{Ed002's Note - You mean the particulary stupid ones who cannot think for themselves?}

Anyone else want Ed002 as PM?

We’re in this mess as we have the worst, most swivel eyed right wing government in living history who get their ideology from such vile people as Ayn Rand, Freiderich Hayek and Patrick Minford. It’s no wonder we’re up s*** creek without a paddle.

{Ed002's Note - Sadly I don't meet the criteria so will never be PM.}

In Wales you can’t go into a stadium to watch Swansea or Cardiff football or any of the regions rugby etc. But you can go into a crowded pub to watch it if it’s on Tv.
It feels like the inmates are running the asylum.

{Ed002's Note - The expectation is that folks will be sensible. And it won't last long.}

It's down to people to be sensible and not be idiots. If you don't want to face a long lockdown period then adhere to the rules.

Marty, that would be fine if the people setting the rules had a clue what they were doing. I am fully expecting an announcement come 27th December.

With the decisions Doris and Dripford have made in the past I wouldn’t trust them to run a bath let alone a country.

C.V.es mutate. There will be a new variant next winter, and the following, and the rest.
Football, and the world, must just get on with it, and live with C.V. instead of hiding in our houses when it comes back every winter.

Agree, there will definitely be a lockdown after Christmas for sure. Government is a joke but we must all try our best to stick to the rules and staying safe.

What do you mean by not meeting the criterea ed? You aren't one of the Eton chums you mean?

@VVVV, in 1981 I attended a lecture given by Minford who was, at the time, Head of Economics at Liverpool Uni. The post afforded him a significant wedge of the folding stuff. At the same time he was also Chief Economic Adviser to Attila the Hen, which was another post with a not significant wedge of dish attached. After the lecture I did a bit of digging and discovered that he had another income stream through tonalities on published articles, papers and books.

His three incomes were made all the more relevant in the context of his lecture which was basically his “ideas” for streamlining the welfare system. His main argument was that welfare benefits needed to be reduced so that all those lazy sods living off the dole would get out there and get a job. As those of us who had reached adulthood in the Thatcher years will know there weren’t that many jobs kicking about, what with destroying the mining industry, the car building industry, etc, etc, etc - although to be fair, Norman Tebbit’s dad did have his bike I suppose.

He was a loathsome, horrible creature who should have had no public forum to spread his dangerous nonsense and it does my old heart good to see him recognised for the waste of space he was all these years later.

Rant over.
