I fail to understand why the government hasn't made it compulsory to wear face masks for EVERYBODY ( unless medically exempt )  in public places - I wear face masks on the bus, in shops, entering restaurants etc. A little uncomfortable but it doesn't HURT. They WANT us to wear masks so why don't they MAKE us

Quoted from buckstown


I suspect there are 150-200 dying from cancer and 150-200 dying from heart failure but we seem to have brushed them under the carpet. Think the point he was making is that at some point we have to accept covid is here and get on with our lives


I do accept we have to get on with our lives and live with it. Just making the point that the comparison with a cold or the trots seems overly Blasé. You wouldn’t compare Cancer or Heart Failure with a cold or the trots would you?

Because they want us to have the freedom to choose

As far as I can see a lot of people are selfish and don't have enough common sense to be able to choose

I know a few people when they go shopping they test themselves at home first using lateral flow test and when it comes back all clear they jump in their car and head straight to the supermarket and don't wear a mask, reason being is that LFT come back as negative so they are  safe in the knowledge it is unlikely they have Covid therefore they don't feel the need to wear a facemask

Those who choose to be cautious are being let down by those who don’t care. This is of course the case in almost everything but people are losing lives and loved ones because of it. Real leadership would be to bring some lighter measures back in to get it back under control again but the government and those loyal to them are precious about freedom of choice.

Anyway: patient confidentiality has gone out the window and someone has named two defenders on Facebook as those with positive tests. Let’s have a win Town!

I think patient confidentiality and personal details have been out the window since this all started…that’s half the issue.

My point was missed entirely, people have really gotten themselves in knots and on their high horses during all this…

Some players are poorly, simple. I don’t care what with, it’s none of my business; they’re not fit to play…the end…why does it matter what they have unless it’s a long term issue that will have longer lasting implications such as heart disease, cancer etc…and then, it’s still none of our business really.

I noticed a thread saying some folk test themselves whenever they leave the house…wowsers. That’s not precautionary it’s fear…wear a mask, don’t wear a mask. Test yourself, don’t test yourself…either way, a huge vaccine roll out and yet here we are…crack on and live our lives and acknowledge its here to stay…

See you at the match, happy three points…


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza
