COVID Watch

[jimmygrimblesboots]

The only way this stops is a complete Tier 5 or whatever lockdown , and get as many of the elderly and at risk people we are trying to protect inoculated in the next few weeks , the economy will no doubt suffer and we will all be bored shitless but peoples lives are for more important at the moment. I've lost a close relative and a good friend to this horriible virus and that's enough. A few more weeks of inconvenience is far better than attending more funerals.

The easiest way around that is let players opt out if they do not feel comfortable playing the season. in the NFL there is a few players who didn’t participate in the season due health concerns etc. If we didn’t play the games I highly doubt our squad made up of young rich men (with let’s face it very low iq) would be spending their time locked indoors.

I'm sure footballers are kept more in check than most of the population , as for footballers have a low I.Q. really ?

This strain of the virus is more transferable. Yet we see players hugging and cuddling post match, let alone what goes on on the pitch. It’s an absolute joke.
The PL and FA will never learn, it’s just all about money. Nothing else. Public Safety is a word that is just banded around but treated with contempt. This season should never have started.

Rochdale have also now announced their next two games are off. Has the new strain possibly arrived in Greater Manchester with a vengeance?

I suspect however this plays out we will see financial interests holding sway, just as they did earlier in the year when the sordid side of football was seen for what it was dressed up as being for the 'integrity of the game' or 'morale of the population'

I just hope everyone is OK. Football doesn't really matter that much in the grand scheme of things, even though it has been quite nice to have football back on as a distraction. The way things are looking I can see a full lockdown coming in and all football could be suspended again.

other divisions will not effect us unless the gov steps in.

The point here is that it's becoming more serious throughout professional football and as we are now seeing the PL included. It therefore affects us all. Being the cash cow it is they won't budge unless, as you seem to suggest, the Government tells them.

It is all about the money-go-round but nobody is making players cuddle, hug, spit etc.

Paul Joyce of The Times saying that it's three more players who have tested positive, but no names released as yet.

I mentioned in the Match day thread that Ederson looks like he has a permanent cold, he looked ill as did Salah yesterday.

rumour is they caught it at the hotel when they played arsenal back in london

 

[Gordyola]

If, it was caught at the hotel in London then I don’t understand why they are staying at a hotel why not fly there an back same day less avenues of possible infection?

Have a think about it. How would the itinerary of the day gone without a base in London? Did we stay over night before match, night after match or both? Step back and think.

 

[blue for life]

Fuck the Euros off altogether. At least that gives all leagues some movement at the end of the season.

They might not even have stayed there. They sometimes go to a hotel for a rest or sleep and to have the pre-match meetings and meals

pre-match meal at McDonalds drive-thru

no, go for food at the hotel where we caught the virus :)

 

[kippaxchris]

Pack lunches is the simple answer

Clubs are doing exactly what I suggested Arsenal did so when they played us
Depart CFA to MCR fly to LCY coach to Emirates stadium where a CV19 secure zone is available for the players to go through pre-match routine. Reverse post match All the flight and cabin crew and coach drivers are COVID tested Is that sufficient thought for you
