It's about 'encouraging' those still unvaccinated, particularly young people, to get vaccinated. I suspect the hope is there's a surge in the coming weeks of people getting vaccinated and they can then drop this entirely. It will be unpopular and difficult to enforce but then it was never actually about that anyway. Which age group? What proportion of that age group are at risk of requiring I.C.U. treatment? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right about hoping for a rush to vaccinate etc but I'm not sure they will withdraw it. Everything they touch is a shambles so this will just be one more that they and the media will ignore. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from unerring incompetence, the other defining characteristic of the SNP is the ability to adopt a completely different direction whenever the wind changes. There's now not a chance in hell that vax passports will be launched in Scotland. They'll use the context of having been undermined by decisions in England but the truth is both governments were always going to have to accept the unworkability of this proposition in the face of a reluctant public. Even the SFA panicked at the thought of having to come up with an enforcement strategy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about it being a shambles, which is why I think they'll withdraw it before it needs enforced. Whether it'll encourage anyone unvaccinated to get the vaccine is the bit I remain unsure about. A version of this was unpopular but fairly successful in France over the summer. The fact they've had to withdraw their main vaccine encouragement advertisement recently too won't help either. It's a mess. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boy went and got vaccinated because of it and a concert he has in November. Certainly the few folk through the door when i was waiting for him to get his jab were young and i know a few of hos friends have gone for similar reasons. he would have gone anyway but it speeded him along a bit. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Is there any update on this - Doncaster suggested it'd be spot checks but I can't see anything more recent having been said (by Rangers, football authorities or our wonderful ScotGov)? The first fixture impacted would be Hibs, at Ibrox, on 3rd October... which isn't far away. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,256 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) So this shambles looks Like proceeding , yet somehow it is even worse than first imagined , those outside of Scotland who are double jagged , have no way of getting their vaccine certificates read and therefore will not be allowed access . So no fans from England or N Ireland then , what a mess . Edited September 14, 2021 by rbr 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
