Jim, lockdown isnt the right course at all. Can't keep locking us all down again and what's the point in getting double jabs and booster if you aren't allow to carry on doing daily activities. It's been a waste of time getting jab if we keep lockdown the country and stop people attending football matches. If you don't attend fine Jim but people want to should be allow to just like attending other social activities. People should be allow their freedom and choices.

No one is being naive at all but I aint going to keep panicking over this variant and suggest we should living our normal daily lives.

And what if its doesn't reach 11 million people but you keep mentioning these figures to keep making people stop doing everything and you want people to lock up in their homes again. I am going Football on Saturday Jim. You don't want to fine by me That's is what is coming out of South Africa. Why does it? Given I won't be standing around in the concourses or going to any pubs or Rovers bar but sitting in my seat from around 2pm. I will be chatting with people I'm attending outside and in my allocated seat.

His form has been good in Scotland and I think your comments he wasn't good last time is wrong. I wouldn't sign Hedges and Watt in January or next summer but depends on a number of other factors

I am aware of that particular data Jim lets lock up the population again and ignore people choices and freedoms. What's the point in people getting jabs and boosters if everytime we lock the country down and close down businesses and people attending their socials events when a new variant. I don't expect any more lockdowns or to not attending football matches over the festive period

but less inflectious leading to less hospitalisation and deaths

Being outside reduce the risk massively as we are sit outside watching the game. Whitty has advised meeting people outside cos its massive reduces the risk. If you get there early which I do there is barely anyone there at that time so yet again reduce risk. Wearing Snood and scarf walking through the concourses and going to the toilet reduces the risk yet again. I am not going to keep scared of getting the virus if you want to keep over panicking everytime we get a new variant then thats your choice But I have made my choice and I wont be changing it I am not going to worry or stop doing normal life things for this virus People will make they own decisions for themselves

everybody immunity will be different surely? I am fully aware of this data thanks Yet again Garners like I said yesterday I will be attending Football with family and friends over the Christmas period including the Hull away game and the home games. But I will be going to Auntie and Uncle house on Christmas day for family Christmas meal like I done for over 25 years before last Christmas and this virus turned up.

Well like I said we are outside watching a game of football and other protections people will have in place. I won't be using the concourse at all or spending any time there. I see attending a game of football no more dangerous than having a shopping trip around Manchester town centre/Christmas markets or going to the cinema to watch a film. So do lockdown again and block people from everyday like events? And I don't think we will have any more lockdowns or circuit breaks. We have to live with the virus and lead as normal life as possible Given thats I don't do anything social apart from attending football now

very wise decision and one I now following I am careful and sensible person in general but I believe in people liability, freedom and the ability for people to make their own choices

very harsh criticism there. I wouldn't mind him back here but if we signing Hedges do we need Watt? We already have Armstrong in Ben Brereton. And I wouldn't assume that Maja is coming given concerns over his lack of playing time and fitness

Well given most of our elderly population have had the booster jab then they will have immunity needed against this variant. I know about my own status but given that I have only just over 3 months from my second jab. Lets wait for proper data and not over reaction too soon

No I live my life through being sensible and making the right decision at the time. But we can't keep running scared or keep worrying over these variants. We have to live with these virus and variants unless we keep shutting down the country every time.

depends on your opinion but if you follow sensible advice then you are less likely to get this variant given thats you are sit outside. From my own point, given that's this is the only social event I do now I am more than happy to attend the game and support my Rovers team The season won't be cancelled at all. Please stop over reacting to this and we need to live our lives as normal as possible including attending football matches

thanks for the update massive over reaction again. very disappointed to hear that Gav but given what Chris Whitty said this morning to the health select committee that if your priority is to attend a football match then do it. He said its people choice what they want to do and not. Lets calm down and stop over reaction to this variant and lets wait for the data. Who says tough for Hospitals when we don't have the data to back that up and more and more people are getting the booster including myself this afternoon. Plus other restrictions, We can't keep locking down the country every time we have a new variant.

Rovers linked with Tony Watt Blackburn Rovers amongst clubs chasing Motherwell striker Tony Watt (msn.com)

Venky's London Limited invest further £8m into Blackburn Rovers - LancsLive

Would both overseas options meet the work permit rules?

well that's your opinion that it is high risk to attend on Saturday but in my opinion no more risk than attending a supermarket or going into a pub or town centre shop. I disagree there is big chance of contracting it aswell by attending Ewood Park. So I take it you won't be attending Saturday game or any game over the Christmas Period even tho You keep saying we have to learn to live a normal life and not let it affect our daily activities

would give us another option in the front2/3 depending how we play

That's your opinion but I feel we need striker in January aswell as midfielder and right wing backs

I think them staying up again is their aim this season

He's a striker

Would anyone look at signing Brentford's striker Marcus Forss? This is suggestion cos he has been linked with other championship clubs and his agents are the same as Mowbray I believe

Depends what your expectations are? Imo, they are where I would expect them to be
