URZZZZ Hound Don’t really agree, if they hadn’t got it from the party, they’d prob have got it from elsewhere the way things are going
Parties etc are an important part of team bonding and spirit etc, and we need to keep that strong
It’s been a pretty joyless year for the players; I’ve no issue with them going out tbh
Agreed with most of that, certainly don’t blame them having the party regardless
Can't agree with this at all. With respect Hound that's a ridiculous mentality. Let's all not wear masks and meet up in huge gatherings because we're going to get it elsewhere anyway!? A very dangerous mentality that is probably behind some of the maskless mongtards I see out and about. I do agree with team bonding though and something should have been something sorted in-house in their bubble.
They have an absolute responsibility to try and stay safe as they are being paid £1000s per week to perform, knowing full well if they get covid it might not just be dangerous for them personally acutely, or more longterm (reduction in lung efficiency in many cases) but also will put their club in a tough situation, as it has done.
However I do agree that you can't really blame the players - with respect they're young folk and as footballers aren't the brightest. Pauno can only tell them so much but can't enforce what they do privately (although I thought in footy it was different and players generally are told very strictly what to do in terms of diet, alcohol, not partying before matches etc?). I'd have hoped the club would take the matter more seriously and I think if they've not been categorically instructed NOT to meet up then they should have been (100% club's fault) but if they were and didit anyway then that's different and Donny's suggestion of some sort of ticking might not be unreasonable.
Not going to get into politics as the whole system can f**k itself, I'm nonpartisan, but in a way I don't blame them as there's been no clear direction from the people who run this country (who have been having parties and walk around maskless like tossers) and the general population are thick as pig sh*t and make up their shitty rules as they go along.
Stupid country, run by stupid people, voted in by stupid people, running generally a stupid populace. This is what you get.
However as I say maybe this was some sort of masterstroke by the club. Massive injury list, poor form. Very convenient for games to be postponed at the moment. Let them have their private party --> covid 'problem' --> buys some time. It's certainly pissing off other clubs massively and rightly so. But we gotta do what we gotta do.
) don’t do that, the Police can’t be trusted”….he didn’t (and to date, still hasn’t?), much to the bemusement of those trying to help him…..like the jabs, how can you help folk with attitudes like that?
