I think people are beginning to look back at what happened through the prism of what we know now. Certainly in this country the government outright came out and said the restrictions were in place to stop the NHS being overrun and they tended to get rid of them as quick as they could when...

Granted it doesn't make any difference to London matches but the days of cheaper train tickets seems to have finished, plus the two Manchester games were/are mid week and Everton was on a Sunday.

You can't argue with stats and the comparison with France and Germany is probably fair but Sweden did have some Covid restrictions and you still can't visit there for non essential reasons from outside the EU/EEA until the end of the month and it does note Finland next door did better. Had this...

I did say broadly speaking and most people wear cloth ones.

For the 1000th time: Broadly speaking you wearing a mask is protecting others, not yourself. I absolutely agree that with widespread vaccine take up there is much less reason to wear one now but people not wearing a mask are inflicting themselves on everyone else. Please note I am only now...

Why is this tin foil hat conspiracy nonsense still here?

Never considered not renewing, although I do quite a few away games and they have been much more enjoyable of late. I think a lot of the problem is habits were broken during lockdown. At one stage literally every game was on TV and it was so easy just to sit down for a couple of hours without...

You all do realise this will quite possibly be the clubs most successful season ever, don't you? It might just be me being lucky but my train journeys to and from the ground for the last two matches have been as good as they have ever been and the queue for trains going into Brighton has gone...

Not sure I would describe something that has killed nearly 6 million people worldwide as a fad.

I am nine days into isolating and just got my first negative test. Without free testing I would have probably had one or two days at home then gone about my merry way with a slightly blocked nose not sure if I had Covid or not. It all seems a bit abrupt to me although if the self isolation...

Mixed in with periods of indifference and a steady stream of non sequiturs.

Didn't you realise that paying his taxes means we should all thank him for doing what he is legally required to do and gives him carte blanche to criticise sections of society he deems less worthy?

The latest instalment of Lenny Rider stokes the fires of the culture wars. This week, the young don't know they have been born.

I think there are some very good people out there and some very good organisations but without a legal mandate it is swimming against the tide. There does need to be a plan in place, enshrined in law, for immune suppressed people. People asking what they did before are basically confirming it...

TBF it hasn't been that bad and more importantly not that bad for my 77 year old mother who also had it. When I had my first jab last year I had the shivers that evening and retired to bed and felt fine in the morning. On Sunday evening the same thing happened, which I am assuming was my...

Funnily enough I am isolating at the moment. Glad I was able to get it in while I could. I am sure people will say I have said this for every restriction being lifted but I am of he opinion we should wait until winter is over.

Covid is a virus. Viruses spread by face to face transmission so people not having face to face contact with each other or wearing a mask reducing the spread of droplets is going to reduce, although not entirely eliminate, the spread of the disease. Please debate the wider impact of the...

Covid 19 infects people via face to face contact, almost exclusively with a minority of infections coming off surfaces. Any restrictions that reduced face to face contact reduced the spread of the virus. This very well might be the time to open up fully but please don't try and rewrite history.

Again, it's a fair argument, although I do have real concerns how so many People working in health and care have taken on board misinformation about vaccines that 100s of millions of people world wide have now safely taken. The government should either have followed through with their threat or...

Point I am trying to make is that NHS and care staff not being fully vaccinated increases the risk of onward transmission, although by how much is debatable. If people are arguing it shouldn't be mandatory for them from a freedom of choice perspective then that is one thing, but it isn't...
