Even Scottish bar owners are more responsible than Republicans

The Scottish men’s soccer team haven’t played in a major tournament since the 1998 World Cup, where they finished last in group play. But that changed on Friday, when a penalty shoot-out victory over Serbia secured a spot for Euro 2020, the continental championship that will be played next year due to this summer’s football schedule ravaged by the coronavirus. .

Also because of the coronavirus, there was no one in the stands at Red Star Stadium in Belgrade to watch the game, in which Luka Jovic forced extra time with a 90th-minute goal, setting up the break-up of tie on the penalty spot in which the first nine shooters all scored. . Finally, Scottish goalkeeper David Marshall refused Aleksandar Mitrovic, and the party was from Edinburgh to the Highlands.

The party was all inside, of course, because, again, the coronavirus.

The Scots celebrating their team’s victory all looked as thrilled as they would have been if they had been to a stadium. Is there something missing about not being able to celebrate with friends and family in a large, happy crowd? Sure. And there was a bar in Aberdeen where there was a party – this bar must now remove all televisions at noon on Sunday.

Did bar owner Stuart Clarkson have a temper tantrum over how the government was violating his rights?

No. He said: “After seeing the videos, I am shocked, disappointed and saddened. It’s just not acceptable and I understand why people are so upset about it. … I will now conduct a thorough review of what went wrong and the steps we need to take to prevent such incidents from happening again. We will also fully comply with and assist any investigation or investigation by the Police, Aberdeen City Council or the Scottish Government. “

Meanwhile, in America, the MP elected Marjorie Taylor Greene lied that Washington, DC gyms are closed, as she tweeted a video of herself working out in her hotel room. It’s also good that she didn’t go to the gym because she doesn’t even want to wear mask in congress, and it’s only a matter of time before she turns into a super spreader herself.

How do you get Scottish bar owners to Congress instead?
