He played an 11v11 but hadn't been within 2 metres of another player? Hmm....

I can think of a couple of City players past that would fit that description....

He has been contact training with his team and played a game and not got near anyone?Apparantly both Spurs and Norwich confirmed he hadn't near any other players, I assume they'll be docking his wages then ?

What the people trying to explain this away are missing is that yes, in normal circumstances you have to be within close proximity for 15 minutes ro more to be in danger of catching the virus. Unfortunately a football match doesn't count as normal circumstances. Players would have been running around and breathing heavier than even they would normally as they would not be match fit. They would be marking the same players during dead ball situations so presumably would be within that close proximity also. It's just ridiculous that they are trying to pass this off as being okay.

I'm not sure if this is the right place but I'm fuming. After months of paying for sky sports on now tv with no live sport, now it's coming back it has stopped working. This is in spite of me activating a code to extend it free of charge until the 30th June due to there being no live sport since the virus started. No way of contacting them but oh guess what, I can easily renew for £33.95 a month, almost £15 more than I was paying. Anyone else in the same boat?
Just had an offer from NOW TV , three months sky sports for £20 per month , i won't be taking up their offer but might be worth looking into if you want to watch football-lite :)

Are you going wednesday? No !
What sort of moron would go to the ground, see nothing , hear nothing, and not even be able to watch it in City square.
A few thousand, seriously.
Don't think our fans will be an issue , but the Dippers will turn up in their thousands , talking to a plastic Dipper yesterday and taking his little Whatsap group as a sample and 50% of them will be at Goodison , Etihad and any future games at Klanfield , their fans offer the perfect description of a moron.

You are probably right. I tend to overestimate morons.)

Also, no one has ever done a study to decide 15 minutes is the minimum amount of time. basically the Government know they would be fucked if they told the public that any close contact for even a short time is potentially hazardous. We would all be in doors eating back copies of King of the Kippax and drinking our own piss (or Budweiser)
If someone with the virus stands next to me for a minute and breaths on me he can spread the germs to me. If a footballer with the virus touches a goalpost and within 10-20 minutes someone else touches that spot and then put their hand near their mouth they could catch it. The government are merely managing peoples fears with all this 15 minute shit.

I'm pretty sure these guidlines are WHO guidlines not our governments, also there guidance is less than 2m, but it depends on whether its face to face, or side to side.Also, no one has ever done a study to decide 15 minutes is the minimum amount of time. basically the Government know they would be fucked if they told the public that any close contact for even a short time is potentially hazardous.
Personally I'm happy to avoid contact of any length of time, and use 2M, and I'm comfortable with doing that.
This thread though is about football matches and training, and in the Norwich case a player who's played in a match but apparently not been close enough to other players, that has to be bullshit from both teams, and why a footballer only isolates 7 days yet for the rest of us the guidance is 14, more bullshit from the PL this time.
