I'd agree with the person at the club. Of course we beat Celtic on the last day. Given the way they punched and kicked our players at full time, I'd say they were pretty bothered about losing.

Because they knew that it would go down well with their fans and the rest of the clubs would ensure it was happening without them anyway. Basic politics.

I'm being informed, not dictated to. That seems like an irrational response based on the person talking, I'm not particularly AFC partisan, but I think she got it completely wrong on the AFC thing. That's acceptable though, it's okay to be wrong. She's done a lot more right than the cunt down South, and communicating with the public daily is one of those things. There has been a local lockdown in Glasgow since September 2nd, I'm not sure where you're getting your info from? My sister in law said similar to you and it turned out she was getting her info from Facebook. The difference between the Weegie lockdown and the Aberdeen lockdown was that the Aberdeen one affected pubs and people travelling in and out of the city. Aberdeen's well publicised spreadings occurred in pubs when they opened. The Weegies were having house parties and spreading the virus that way, so they were restricted on 2nd, with nobody allowed to visit one another. That seems quite similar to the Aberdeen one, just affecting a different area. Like the AFC case, there is a lot to learn with how you deal with these things and Stugeon is also learning on the job, so I can cut her a bit of slack. I don't think cafes needed to be shut in Aberdeen to teach pubs a lesson for example, but it was likely important to come down reasonably heavy handedly so that pubs like Soul don't allow giant queues to form outside again. I expect the Weegie pubs quickly learned from that too, and most pubs seem to have got themselves sorted out in terms of protocols and arrangements (certainly the ones I've been to in Aberdeen). Similarly the Weegies not being allowed to visit one another will cut down on house parties. Finally, you say that you have lost your civil liberty? That suggests that you want to be able to go out and do the things that you did prior to the pandemic (roughly speaking)? Coronavirus spreads quickly, in about 10 days, 1 person could indirectly infect between 8 and 1,000. Within 20 it could between 64 and 500,000 assuming no restrictions are placed on people's civil liberty (based on 2-3 days infection doubling). Either we all get coronavirus to maintain your liberty, which is fine. Or we try to eradicate it with strict measures and then deal swiftly with individual cases, restricting those who test positive before the doubling becomes unmanageable (as is clearly happening in the UK and elsewhere already). You're saying that you want everyone to get coronavirus to maintain your civil liberty, correct?

We never had daily briefings before because the last time there was an epidemic was 1918. The last time there was an event which affected a the world in a similar was was 1939-1945. In 1918 the only technology really available to communicate government messages to the public was through newspapers or through newscasts played at cinemas. Otherwise it was letters sent to local councils who were then responsible for enacting those wishes. In 1939-45 Radio had become available but as there was the fear of giving away any information the enemy could use against the country, and to minimise panic, the public were kept in the dark for the majority but there was still broadcasts from the government. Other than that it was still letters and possibly telephone calls to local councils This civil liberty loss arguments Im seeing are bizarre to me and to go a stage further it smacks of spoilt westerners who dont have a fucking clue what losing 'most' of their civil liberties are. Its becoming the West's new 'its my human right' Can you please show me where it says in UK or Scottish law that simply stating 'I don't believe in Covid 19' is NOW actually an offence? Last time I stepped outside my flat (1hr ago) Scotland and the rest of the UK hadn't become 17th century Salem, or East Germany circa 1950-1990

No way, I disagree with that. Both Glasgow teams in fact go out of their way to help each other if you look a bit more closely. They are symbiotic. Aberdeen earned the 3 points that day without a doubt. The media just portrayed it as Celtic lying down because basically our league is such a carve up that an away win in Glasgow for anyone is almost unthinkable, hence the incredulity from the sevco loving media afterward.

I'm sure that was the last day that Ryan Christie was on loan for us. He didn't play of course but I remember him having a smile on his face at full time and the Tim's didn't like that much. ?

More than deserved our victory that day! Definitely counts as a victory, as it should. Regardless, our record against Celtic is shite.

Id say you are doing the team a real dis-service discounting that victory. Tell Joe Lewis the Tic weren't trying that day https://youtu.be/A7SJKIdnPUQ

Is the totally correct answer Mr Tup
