PockthorpePete 331 Posted June 23, 2021 It would be a positive sign(ing) all round. A measure of how well the club is seen, that the player will gain from being with us - and it gives us another promising youngster, as with Skipp, without the financial burden This way it allows us to focus on a few quality signings, while progressing others at relatively low cost (McLean, Sorensen, Dowell, Mumba, Idah etc). If the player is 'not up to it, then we are not stuck with them as, Roberts, Amadou and Duda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,276 Posted June 23, 2021 Gilmour + Skipp/ano DM + McLean = competition for midfield places. Moreso if we play 3 at the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crab man 164 Posted June 23, 2021 Not good enough for us, why all the pant wetting. We need Skipp back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As above, they didn't fight for our rights to do as we please for our own gratification and convenience regardless of the impact on others. Otherwise, why have any laws at all? I'm also interested in what the survival rate is if left to spread un-hindered. My understanding is the restrictions are to protect the healthcare providers' capacity to provide life-saving treatment, rather than because the new virus is especially deadly in itself. It's the proliferation that's the issue, not so much the outright deadliness of the disease.

In fact I wouldn't be pedaling this "nonsense" if anyone I know had even caught the world's most deadly disease, let alone died from it. But yet here we are 18 months later and I still haven't met anyone who's caught it. That's probably been because I haven't been allowed to mix with other people though.

I know of a man I'm friends with who lost his wife. She suffered from bronchitis her entire life. Leaves behind a 7yr old daughter whose mother was her world. Sorry I called your view "nonsense" but I just worry that 1% you speak of who do succumb to this virus will be forgotten as they are "only 1%" - when in reality they are people whose families are destroyed by this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
