An amazing, incredible, unbelievable day for Wimbledon today, mixed with huge disappointment that we fans can't be there, but at last, after almost 30 years, we play a home game back at Plough Lane!

RIP Nobby Stiles.

Just asked them. The one on Roblox is called Imposter. Kids say SvB play Among Us but that Imposter is "way better". I asked why, they said "it just is".

If gacha life is worse than SvB I think I will be smashing all TV's, computers, tablets, phones in the house if they ever find that! I didn't realise it was possible to despise two kids I've never met as much as I despise those two. Their voices, their shrieking, the stupid repeating of the same pointless words over and over just to be talking constantly.... aaaarrrrgghhh!

My children play a game on Roblox that is exactly like that, they use their tablet and laptop - free on both. Must be a copy of your game. Think they found it after watching the horrendous Sis vs Bro kids playing it on their excruciating YouTube channel.

All league clubs have the crappy iFollow streaming service for all games - at Wimbledon (and I assume others too) this is free for season ticket holders while no fans are allowed in, and £10 per game for everyone else.

[When put like that would you agree there has to be balance and maybe we're just slightly on different sides of the scale, or do you think restrictions should be harsher across the board whatever the cost is to economy etc?]

Had half an hour at Grosvenor Nottingham last night

They seemed to have made a good effort, door man ensuring masks worn on entry.

There was a cash game running but I was just there for a blackjack fix.

Seemed acceptable to take your mask off once sat at the table, perspex partitions weren't too much of a hindrance.

Spotted a poor bloke with a table converted into a chip sanitising station.

Scotch still tasted the same

All in all they seemed to be doing a pretty good job, but then I am quite happy with the idea that we need to get back to normal as much as we need to control the infection rate.

Hi Stu.

I don't mean to be pedantic but how can we get back to normal if people are dying all over the place?

Which ever way I phrase that it seems argumentative and abrasive. I don't mean it to be, it's a genuine question.

Hi Tom

No problem at all, I don't see it as either argumentative or abrasive. I think everyone's view point on this situation differs wildly so always interesting to discuss.

For me it's about balance, I might of worded my original post badly, I didn't mean everything should go completely back to normal.

So firstly as Dean said, people are no longer dying all over the place, there seems to be good evidence from the rest of the EU that the death rate for a second wave isn't going to match that of the first wave. Fingers crossed.

Secondly, I don't think the Government is doing a very good job on this, and I don't think it is at all clear which measures work and which don't.

The original lock down was always stated as ensuring that the NHS were not overwhelmed, currently they aren't, nor does it appear that they will be.

The lockdown has done untold damage on people's financial and mental health so there has to be a balance between getting things back to normal as far as reasonably possible and protecting both the NHS and people who are vulnerable.  

When put like that would you agree there has to be balance and maybe we're just slightly on different sides of the scale, or do you think restrictions should be harsher across the board whatever the cost is to economy etc?

No, I agree with you when you put it like that.

For clarity, I don't think restrictions should be harsher, I just think they should make more sense and be enforced better.

Why are we advised to wear a mask but obviously young healthy people allowed to wander around supermarkets wearing their mask on their neck instead of their face?

Why don't staff have to wear a mask at all?

Why is there a rule of 6 except for pubs, restaurants, etc? I simply don't understand the rule of 6. Two families of 4 can't stop in the street to pass the time of day but two families of 3 can, WTF is the sense in that?

Why do I see large numbers of 14-15yo kids leaving school and walking through the middle of the town en masse?

I agree with your points in the main, but the rule of six does apply to pubs etc. which is why I don't see how 7-handed cash games can be allowed in casinos.

Grosvenor have just posted that the 'rule of six' does not apply to casino cash games and that they will continue to run with seven-handed games.

Is it because there are are screens between the players? If so, doesn't this open up a whole new grey area where we can meet up with more than five of our friends and family as long as there are screens between us all?

I haven't seen any mention of this loophole in any of the news items about the rule of six though.

I think the six thing is just to stop gatherings in houses. The home, hospital and public transport are where people catch it the most and people are relaxed and whatnot. You can control a pub, a card room etc a lot easier.

Having said that, live poker still seems particularly dumb at the moment.

The news items I've seen about the new 'rule of six' all mentioned that it includes pubs, so I don't see how casinos would be different.

Don Jr - "He delivered P P and E to our brave frontline workers...'

 

50/50. Or 1352/1. One of those. Maybe.

50/50 - either it happens, or it doesn't.

Michael Owen? Only as I know he scored on his debut (which Liverpool lost 2-1 to Wimbledon) and sure he scored quite a few more after that.

A belated big thanks again Scotty for your efforts.  I'm sending you a message about the above answer

Did you upset scotty?

Seriously though, hope all is OK scotty?

Thanks for your concern Womble, all good here. Archer had a legit query regarding the values I had.

No worries

Was it upheld? Might move me up a place if it was that Auba was more than KDB 

Too busy punting the dogs and backing big priced Naps since June 1st and the racing restarted to worry bout finishing a lockdown quiz!

Lol, I hadn't noticed he's still been posting in the dogs thread!

I've just read that this Joint Biosecurity Centre that is the body tasked with assessing the Covid19 alert level, that the government are supposedly following the advice of for easing the lockdown restrictions seemingly too early, doesn't actually exist.

This can't be right?!

If it is, WTAF? If it isn't, what the hell was Hancock on about?
