It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[yeseye]

Can't even get his lad the latest shirt. Poor from HH that.

Money’s running out clearly.
It was bound to happen.

48 hours

Even for a test done via the post? I've seen people waiting four or five days. I sent the test kit away Monday morning and the tracker ID also confirmed it had been delivered to the sorting office in Glasgow 24 hours later.

It has clearly been delivered and suspected it was just down to the huge backlog they must have.

A sit stands, I can come out of quarantine tomorrow after ten days anyway?

Not without Messi, no.

That's the maximum, my missus had here's done on a Friday afternoon and got the result on Saturday afternoon,because she works for the NHS she had the Anti body test and got the result back the day after, but he's been waiting since Monday so that's not right

My nearest directed test centre was 30 miles away even though the Etihad is less than six miles away for me.

I had symptoms a week last Wednesday, applied online 111 for the home test kit on Thursday, didn't receive the kit in post until Saturday afternoon.

Couldn't perform the test until 9am Monday morning because the Royal Mail COVID priority box doesn't collect on the weekend.

Royal Maul confirmed receipt on the tracker item midday Tuesday and here I am, still waiting.

It took four days just to facilitate and then me act upon it. The system is clearly struggling.

Would you not be able to just fuck the system off & get tested at the Etihad anyway ?

If we don’t get Koulibaly because of pissing about, and it forces us to go into next season having STILL not replaced Kompany two summers in a row, that’s absolutely ridiculous.
Ake is bought for entirely different purposes, getting Koulibaly is close to essential.
No other club would lose such an iconic figure and boarder-line refuse to replace him.

Of no use to Tolmie, but my brother in law got tested by accident last week, drove into a car park with cones to use the toilets, turned out it was a drive through testing centre, they told him he couldn't reverse out so tested him, got a clear result next day.

That's what I thought, if you turn up, they test you.

agree mate. Not getting a world class right sided CB would truly be so ridiculous that it can’t happen? We either need to pay up or move on?

 

[SWP's back]

On Mbappe - the relationship between Qatar and Abu Dhabi is very public. There's almost no chance that they'd sell him to us so I'd forget about it from our POV. I suspect that's why we're not mentioned in Duncan's piece.

The Yanks are claiming there will be a breakthrough “within weeks” on the blockade so maybe it’ll change by then but I highly doubt it. Qatar won’t sell AD a virus whilst they’re still blocking their airspace to Qatar aircraft etc.

 

[RayCTID]

There are no guarantees in that Koulibaly would be that iconic figure. He hasn't the best of seasons and still needs time to fully adapt even at his age.

@BillyShears @tolmie's hairdoo do either of you think there is anything in the Upamecano rumour?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Website made it clear by appointment only.

No use doing it now.

The time taken depends on the lab group it’s sent to, you’ll find a massive difference between the different lab operations. A couple are totally swamped and over loaded with tests as the number of tests being done ramps up.

The capacity is there, but it takes time to make sure the forward planning is in place to send the tests to the labs with free capacity.

No one has built an operation of this size before EVER so it’s a learning exercise for everyone.

It’s getting better week by week but still a long way to go by the looks of it.

United have been on him for a long time. He was there for a week on trial when he was a teenager and they have tried to sign him this summer.

Not sure if City have said something during the Angelino talks.

I think they put that out to deter people from clogging the system up. You should have been sent there as nearest anyhow.

I was thinking in case they have lost your test in the system.

You need to sort it out mate ;)

My testing lab is Glasgow, so no idea how they are fixed.

I've seen people in Wales being told to drive 100 miles to get a test. Thanks bud.

Glasgow is the place with the most cases in Scotland, as i the surronding areas Lanarkshire, Ayrshire. Expect they h are pretty busy., for outside ones too.

Well I don’t agree with your miserably negative opinion Mr Longsight.
I have a much rosier view, inspired by the production line of trophies that we’ve been hoovering up in recent years.
If that makes me a happy clapper, in your opinion, then I’m ok with that and I suppose that you, being the polar opposite, must be a sad clapper or whatever.

Anyway, regardless of my disagreeing entirely with the product of your dark cloud of thought, I must doff my cap to your skills as an author.
You’ve got an attractive and entertaining style of writing, with many amusing turns of phrase, and I enjoyed the read, thank you.

What a polite way of telling someone to fuck off!
