DubaiGate - Timothy asking about ScotGov advice on travelling Turkey - why ?

[ChildOfGoth]

Anyone have a theory on why they approached government / civil service with the supposed intention on going to Turkey rather than Dubai ?
Dubai was where they used the previous years and they later used that point to justify there travelling .

 

[bullen an la]

because they are liars cradle to grave
it's in their indoctrination
take no responsibility
a wee bit of mumbo jumbo absolves all blame

Lennon wanted a set of Brendan Rodgers' teeth probably.

Travel corridors I’d imagine.

Cheaper beer.

It's got nothing to do with their religion. Take the day off.

I heard they were going to Turkey to try and get a refund on Griffith's hair transplant

[Scaramanga]

I saw travelling Turkey and just thought of Duffy on tour.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Hair transplant for Griffiths?

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Travel corridors I’d imagine.

Ah , you thinking Turkey corridor was open in Nov and Dubai was closed . That would add up , if that’s how it was positioned yeah .

 

[Jase]

I think you've been misinformed.

I heard they'd asked if it was OK for a bunch of turkeys to go to Dubai.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

I saw travelling Turkey and just thought of Duffy on tour.

That video of him at Blackburn winning mom for Cardiff on the other thread is priceless eh

 

[jimbear]

Maybe they were trying to kid themselves on) they were still in Europe this season.

 

[Leopold]

Just guessing, at the time of asking Turkey might’ve had a very low Covid rate.

You’re right that them using the fact that previous camps in Dubai as an excuse for going doesn’t wash, given that they enquired about a different venue.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Lennon heard that they've got good deals on snus.

 

[azuloso1954]

To buy Rangers replica tops and punt them at the Barras.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

What , no Turkish magic carpets mentioned yet tut tut

 

[Macdonsj]

Lennon heard that they've got good deals on snus.

can just see him getting Strachan to use the lapto to google "Countries that sell SNUS"

 

[drgriffen]

According to Darryl Broadfoot on Radio Scotland they were going to go to Turkey as the covid numbers weren't too bad there. These changed so they decided to go to Dubai as this was considered the safer option.

Thanks dr g , hadn’t seen that . When you consider that reasoning though we had Dubai at about what twice the uk numbers ? The idea of some consideration of those statistics is as safe as trampolining on cling film

 

[Blue seventy two]

Probably to get new ( fake) strips for the squad and a fake neck for James Forrest..........probably

 

[trueblue2022]

Probably the same reason people from Scotland were all firing to Turkey in the summer..... you could still go there as there was no restrictions or need to self isolate on return.

 

[Al Needham Loyal]

lying has nothing to do with their religion?

ok then

tour of japan
players mourning for phil o'donnell

both lies and by some coincidence from an rc run club.

You're just embarrassing yourself here mate.

I see that point bud but they have exemption so they don’t need to consider themselves as regular travellers - that might suggest that they understood the sensitivity of exploiting the situation under that Elite exemption ??

 

[Mynameismud]

Taking the troops to Turkey to jailbreak Bolingoli in an act of desperation.

 

[Balogun1]

Off to fight in Palestine.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

My son was due to holiday in Turkey on November. Turkey was removed from the Travel Corridor on 3 Oct because there was a suspicion that their numbers were 'doctored'.

So, I'm not sure the Travel Corridor theory stands up.

Coronavirus: Turkey and Poland added to Scotland’s quarantine list | The Scotsman

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Off to fight in Palestine.

Ffs theres a calamitous image bud

 

[Arkanoid]

An investigative and balanced media would have those answers already

 

[Baxter Blue]

What a load of bigoted pish!!

you got a tin hat?

 

[Dumfriesbear]

Maybe for the markets and cheap fags. You could get a few into the kit hampers.

 

[cooprfc]

They had a job lot of 10 in a row t-shirts to sell.

Doesn’t wash, you say?

ok wise guy
whats your take on them lying

 

[stein and johnston]

Unfortunately they can say and do anything they want. And the authorities
that allegedly run our game turn a blind eye.

 

[CheltBlue]

That video of him at Blackburn winning mom for Cardiff on the other thread is priceless eh

If I hadn't seen him play recently id say it was match fixing. That 1st og was a worldy lol.

 

[HamiltonBear]

Cheaper beer.

Cheaper fake Rangers tops to wear whilst streaming our games. Just to make the experience better for them.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Duffy featuring on Monday evening needs looking at...

urgently

 

[Govan36]

According to Darryl Broadfoot on Radio Scotland they were going to go to Turkey as the covid numbers weren't too bad there. These changed so they decided to go to Dubai as this was considered the safer option.

Right so they were monitoring the Civid numbers in November but never monitored them since, like at the end of December ?

 

[alexg123]

Hair transplant for Griffiths?

Brain transplant more likely

 

[BlueHaze]

During the pandemic they shouldn’t have needed advice,Common sense should have told them it was a bad idea.

 

[Eighteen Seventy Two]

The compliance officer investigated the trip yet?

 

[bilkobear]

Lennon wanted a set of Brendan Rodgers' teeth probably.

Did Rodgers get them in Turkey?
Surely with his money, he could afford the same set in the UK?
Harley Street?

I see that Julien was the player who tested positive.
He was out there injured and I suppose getting some treatment, but if he wasn't at the training pitch with the squad and had to fill in his spare time, does anyone know what a wealthy young man stuck in his luxury hotel room can find to do during the idle hours in Dubai?

Just thought I would put the question out there, in case it might have helped with the track and trace?

 

[Al Needham Loyal]

ok wise guy
whats your take on them lying

That they are lying cunts which has nothing to do with their religion.

Unless of course you class Jermain Defoe, Borna Barisic, Joe Aribo etc as being the same as them, and if you do, you're certainly not a Rangers fan.

I'll await your mental gymnastics to somehow show both staunchness and backtrack from it being a religious angle with baited breath.

 

[BSPECIAL]

Maybe they were going to Turkey to try and get bawbagoli back

 

[chosen few]

Going to Turkey to get next seasons kit

 

[SenoraCuellar]

Erdogan was denying covid was a problem there and they needed to go to one of those cheap cosmetic surgery clinics to get the fat sucked out Lennon's arse. It looks like he wears a nappy. Flabby b*stard.

 

[Barcelona Bandit]

To buy Rangers replica tops and punt them at the Barras.

Na it was to put the 10 iar trash.
