Fans back in Scotland next week

Re: Fans back in Scotland next week

As I have documented many times on here I am a supporter of Wales Government. I also believe that they have made decisions , some right, some wrong, in good faith, which is more can be said for that lot over the border.
In my opinion Wales government would be foolish not to follow Scotland's lead and allow large gatherings immediately. They would lose a lot of goodwill if they dont.

Because for most its a cold. WTF is going on here in Wales ?

Just to say there were 379 deaths today, UK wide.

We're still very much on the grip of the pandemic , even though I think Wales government has little alternative but to follow Scotland's lead and abandon restrictions over crowds.

He didn't balls up.

The evidence said otherwise.

Unfortunately the choices he has to reduce social interaction are limited given no extra funding from the UK Treasury, so sport was one thing that copped for it.

There are too many hospitals in England in emergency measures to suggest that the lack of measures in England was the right approach, even if Omicron has turned out much milder for most than previous strains.

Our health boards are clearly far from running smoothly but ....

Easy for me to try and be objective; I can still go and watch my football team this weekend.

How could you tell if they ballsed it up or not? Just because things were done differently elsewhere doesn't mean anyone ballsed anything up.

He instituted a ban in something where him and his own experts had already admitted was not a high risk area. His excuse was that they were worried about fans meeting and drinking together outside and inside the ground but all he had to do was ask clubs to temporarily close hospitality areas. People attending games were already supposed to be double vacc’d - they could have asked for booster jab proof as well. It was just an easy target, to make it appear that WAG were being tough. Plus, although cases and hospital admissions were high, intensive care bed occupation for the whole of the UK is now under 800 and falling - actually lower than it was 3 months ago. This clearly indicates that Omicron is not as serious but was totally ignored.
