Dr Brian Reid? Obviously knows better......what's the difference between 'covid and real covid' Brian? None....they both kill your granny, sick relatives, person with an illness.

Interesting syntax in your thread heading Bucky😀 Unintended Ronnie. If I’m being honest I wouldn’t be sorry to see him resign. For now I would settle for putting a muzzle on him and let him organise a football team....if he is capable of doing that. There are fans and people close to the club who have been affected by Covid.

Turning out to be a duff manager and a PR disaster.

Really can't see how he survives this. Club needs to disassociate itself from comments like these urgently IMHO

Maybe he's trying to get sacked rather than resigning!

Incredible article and jaw-dropping comments from Reid.
The club is in dire straits on the field and the last thing we need is any negative PR off it.
I would urge the BoD to seriously consider his position. That’s twice he’s made utterly bizarre comments to the tabloids - comments which will not reflect well on the club.
Appalled.

He has a point about false positives, but thereafter hmmn Does he? According to a number of leading Scientists, this is a non-issue and the amount of ‘false positives’ is negligible in the grand scheme of things. Expected more outcry from supporters on these comments. Where are all the usual suspects who are happy to applaud everything going on at the club - do you think these comments are acceptable?

He has a point about false positives, but thereafter hmmn According to a number of leading Scientists....... Who? Where from? How many exactly? According to The Lancet, the false positive rate is between 0.8% and 4%, so, perfectly possible for it to happen at a football club where people are being tested regularly. So, a football manager talks rubbish about a non-football matter - shock horror! Reid's comments were ill-informed, but it's over the top to suggest it's a sacking matter. If being wrong about Covid means you should lose your job, then half the population could be sacked - including a lot of Tory MPs (if only.....). Seems to me that his comments reflect a manager under pressure - he will be worried about being handed down a 3-0 defeat for the Cowdenbeath postponement, as happened to St Mirren and Kilmarnock today for their SPLF postponements (so,it doesn't look good for us). Reid should have a look back at the section of his coaching manual that relates to media training - and not spout off about matters for which he has no professional expertise.

And then the section about managing a team! His record speaks for itself and his press crap compounds it. His comments were insensitive, crass and embarrassing to the club. Flop on and off the pitch. Time to go before it's too late. As for car sharing. Many of our younger players may not be able to drive. As there has also been issues with team bus rules. Then what? Take the train, service bus, walk... The mind boggles. The people in charge of the game are idiots. But then we knew that. On a side note the interview was repeated in the rag that the advertiser has become this week. Didn't see a report on the match though?

Having had time to absorb his comments I feel in part it is a sense of frustration at events accompanied by the run of results. It appears that the Covid situation has knocked a few clubs - Clyde being the current victims. It would have been more prudent to recognise the gravity of current world issues and the affects this pandemic causes rather than comparing it to normal winter colds. I am sure he did not wish to be disrespectful to people who have been affected by this issue rather a sense of confusion and clarity of the process.

Must be difficult for the manager, trying to find different ways of saying the same things after Saturdays defeat at Edinburgh. It would appear that a leader Is needed on the park. Especially at the heart of the defence. I wish I had a £1 for every time I heard the comment “I’ve said to the players if they aren’t prepared to do it I’ll bring in players that will”. I’m not sure that threat works? It’s usually the manager that’s replaced? Hopefully that won’t happen and the players turn it round and learn from what they are being taught by the manager at training.
