Clubs should make it clear to agents and their players, that their careers are **** if they refuse. No club will buy them, and they won't be picked or part of the matchday squads. didn't gerrard basically say that vaccine status will be a factor in potential transfers in the future? makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 13 minutes ago, Rightdm00 said: At least for the winter months. Cancelling games like this all piecemeal is just going to lead to massive confusion and accusations of unfairness. Its a tough call though understandable but would still have clowns like Pep moaning about it. Probably say his small budget squad and injury crisis is mich worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 No easy answer really. A football circuit break might work but theres still too many unknown factors. Best to plod on and play the games that can be played. Its ironic that Australia have far less cases but wont allow anybody to play in the Australian open if they havent been fully vaccinated. Its time we did the same with football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Clubs will argue for postponement of all games if they think it'll benefit them. Others will see the opportunity in other clubs having outbreaks and try to make the situation work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted December 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2021 Clubs can have bubbles but players and staff go home to wives and kids that do not. It's impossible to stop unless they all stay at Bodymoor and don't go anywhere than to games and even then there is a risk. We played with players out and I think other teams should do too within reason. Premier League need to make a rule for everyone that says 6 or more players out you can cancel. There are squads for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sne Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 Shambolic that they didn't make 100% clear and waterproof rules about these situations before the season started considering the pandemic has been been ever present for 2 years. Multi billion £ business and their approach is "nah, it'll be fine" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 2 hours ago, foreveryoung said: So the EFL are claiming 75% of players are either double jabbed, single jabbed or intend to be vaccinated. 25% do not intend to get the vaccine. I think the claim should be how many are double jabbed, rather then single jabbed and intend too, as basically it's not 75% is it? How many who intend, won't have it or won't get double Jabbed. ridiculous statistics, hardly worth the paper they are written on. 25% unvaccinated and do not intend to have it, is huge, an unacceptable in my view. 2 hours ago, Rodders said: It's abysmal.

UK has something like 90% first jabbed and 85% second jabbed yet the stats above for footballers alone are combined to cover the components so you know it’s not good. What am I reading here? Why should players get vaccinated? It's completely up to them if they get vaccinated or not. Personally I've had the vaccines, but many people don't want them and are entitled to that opinion. The virus will still spread whether you are vaccinated or unvaccinated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2021 Didn't the PL say a day ago they weren't having further games cancelled for Covid? Didn't take long for the reality to hit on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The virus will still spread whether you are vaccinated or unvaccinated Yes it will spread anyway but then they will be protected from getting very ill so more likely to return straight after the isolation period. Footballers can not use long covid as an excuse for not performing then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Don't squads have 25 players registered. Surely they can't all have COVID and you have enough to field a starting 11? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a double whammy that omicron showed up during the northern hemisphere winter period so alot is working against us here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Think most vaccines are) I chose to have mine, felt like shit after the booster mind. .....There is a report from a consultant who has raised questions relating to issues around the heart. Not sure how reliable this video is so watch with caution. Heart risk after vaccines, Dr John Campbell He's one of the more reasoned commentators. A university professor I think and have been following his videos throughout. I think he's quite reliable and is only using sources and putting the information out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
