People here were fairly pissed off the the government allowed residents to travel over to it and return at the time. Fairly sure anyone that went and caught COVID and tried to blame anyone but themselves would be laughed at and told to cop on though. We all knew the risks at the time.I went the previous year. It’s hard to think of a sporting event on the planet better designed to spread a highly contagious deadly virus that frequently displays asymptotically. Absolute madness it went ahead.
And the women’s team who were so underfunded by the owners that they were relegated and now play the equivalent of university/parks footballinteresting they show the streets of houses surrounding anfield as being important to them, well they were once they got hold of them.
I remember getting a train from Cardiff to Birmingham on the Wednesday and a load of people got off at Cheltenham, including the highly attractive girl in her early twenties who was sat opposite me - and I remember remarking to myself ‘no chance’ (in both respects!) Whenever the subject has come up I’ve wondered if she caught it there.People here were fairly pissed off the the government allowed residents to travel over to it and return at the time.

They should have, agreed, think we'd already called off our six nations game against Italy at the time with lower numbers (although we still ended up with 10k Italian fans in Dublin for the weekend). Nobody was forced to go though.I remember getting a train from Cardiff to Birmingham on the Wednesday and a load of people got off at Cheltenham, including the highly attractive girl in her early twenties who was sat opposite me - and I remember remarking to myself ‘no chance’ (in both respects!)

People knew the risks at the time, and need to take responsibility for their actions, but the authorities should have called it off.
I get blaming the authorities when the risk is not widely disseminated, and especially if the level of risk has been downplayed by the authorities, but everyone knew or ought to have known the risks at the time. This prevailing culture of seeking to displace blame extraneous to self really gets on my fucking tits. Have some fucking self respect, grow a backbone, and own your fucking mistakes.They should have, agreed, think we'd already called off our six nations game against Italy at the time with lower numbers (although we still ended up with 10k Italian fans in Dublin for the weekend).
