I do think people’s mental health should not be underestimated as well. The football to a lot of people is a great distraction and comfort for a lot of people. If the players are happy to play then I don’t see an issue personally

i agree. well said

 

[come-on-barney]

You're talking about Wales there, are you?

;-)

Try the Trafford centre

 

[Centurions]

Talkragshite wouldn't even know what day of the week today is mate.

That being said if we stayed in London midweek there's a chance.

 

[david whites spike]

Not sure if true but been told it's now Ederson, Cancelo, Walker, Jesus, Torres and 3 more staff apparently.

Been told ??

Whilst you have a good point, the reality is that a young player, like Torres (or indeed many players given their fortunes burning a hole in their collective pockets) will probably be out and about, not stuck in house, wrapped in cotton wool, waiting for the new season, should it ever start.

I'm classed as a key worker, have followed the rules and have worked through it all, so far. Some of us have to carry on, we can't all just hide and hope for the best.

It seems to be spreading throughout all 4 divisions. I think they should be looking at suspending right now, especially do with the new variant out & about.

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

Put the fucking glue down.
Forfeit and points??? Why should we? It’s a global pandemic. The season shouldn’t have started at all. Having players rolling round in the sweat and spit of their opponent, yet having people around in masks is an absolute joke.

My point is that the club should take care of the players regardless of what the FA want to do. In my view, players throughout football are watching and the long term health of the club may be better served by being at the forefront of protecting players.


I agree completely that the season shouldn’t have started and think there should be far stronger protocols to shut everyone down and adjust when things pop up. But we are where we are and I’d rather the club take a stand regardless of what we dumb shit the Fa will do

Great point. In theory at least, the risk of players getting ill in a controlled bubble environment at the club with regular tests etc should be lower than if they are roaming free in the outside world. Covid is a curse. We just have to get through the next few months one way or another till the vaccines rescue us.

Cant see the Chelsea game being played but we will be forced to play the Rag semi-final with a depleted squad , it suits the agenda to have the globally famous Rags in the final and any assistance will be given
It will be a pisser for the money men if our U-23 team stuff them :)

Apparently there was an outbreak in the hotel we stayed for the Arsenal game.

Have you been living in your own little bubble. Try having a look the rest of Europe.
Nobody has really got hold of this disease.

Nice one.......so that excuses the stupidity of those that make decisions in this country how?

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

The clubs need the money from tv deal etc, who's going to pay the wages with no money coming in.
