    Good point Cloughie! If anyone infects a loved one through disregard of self-isolating, their close relatives are not going to be best pleased!

    Without wishing to introduce politics into the beautiful game, I have to say that I’m impressed with the quick action of both Ian Blackford and Nicola Sturgeon regarding the “errant” MP.

      There's been more than one instance of arrogant, overpaid 'soccer stars' acting in a way that shows that they believe that the rules don't apply to them. Clearly, they - together with some politicians and their buddies - are the true 'special ones', and the sooner us plebs reconcile ourselves to that the better.

        Sorry LMcD, but I don’t agree with this sentiment.

        Taking care not to highjack this thread away from football, why should we “plebs reconcile ourselves…”?

        Boot ’em out is wot I say! (See what I did there?)

        Anyway, Everton looking quite impressive, and can’t wait for revenge on Moaning Maureen tomorrow!

              I actually believe that those who claim to speak for us and act on our behalf, and those who are paid vast sums to provide us with entertainment, should be expected to meet more demanding criteria than the rest of us. I don't know which of those who believe the rules don't apply to them or that they can get away with it are just plain arrogant and just don't care and which are just plain stupid and just don't get it.

                  Like Johnson Sr who having been out of the country did not know that masks were needed. Whatever happened to ‘ignorance is no defence...’. Was he fined, was he heckerslike!

                      I think somebody - not sure who - must have thrown a protective ring round Boris's family and advisors.

                              Well I didn't expect the season in which we get back into the football League to start with a 1-0 defeat at Torquay
                              Surely with Wayne Rooney's brother playing for us we'll walk this league.
