The vast majority of medical experts and scientists disagree with this, the benefits of the vaccine have clearly outweighed not getting it. (In Bold) And I know it's been point out numerous times but just to cover it again. Hospitalisations and deaths take weeks to follow increases in...

Villa have been doing it for years from what I know. When I volunteered with the academy set-up briefly a few years back I was speaking to the academy head of recruitment and he mentioned that a few years ago a coach left villa and came to work for the club but within a few months he suddenly...

Manager mentioned it back in November when I looked the other day. Was meant to miss the whole Xmas period. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-united/2774406/tam-courts-praise-for-goal-hero-louis-appere-as-dundee-united-boss-offers-injury-update-on-max-biamou/

I think it shows why there is so much inconsistency in application of the laws as well! It's a hard job being a ref. I also think if you start enforcing that rule you are looking at a lot of indirect free kicks. It may well have been removed and put back in tbf, it's only cause I had this...

Half correct. The six second rule does exist but you aren't necessarily meant to get a yellow card it's meant to result in an indirect free-kick. It's still in the IFAB laws of the game as: An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, commits any of the following...

I agree with a lot of this, but question on the last point, are you talking about a far higher uptake of vaccine in the UK in general? If so I'm not sure that's ever going to be likely, given that between 85-90% of the population have had the vaccine. When you look at vaccine stats for standard...

Aren't we a week or two ahead of Germany in this covid wave? I don't disagree with the point mind you, especially if games are being called off because of social contacts due to not having both doses of the vaccine rather than actually having the virus. But even clubs with high vaccination...

Didn't say it was the end of the world but yes a large part of it is the overall experience, but it's not one or the other. They need game time as much as they need to be in a first time environment. But Kane had very good loan experiences at Orient and Millwall. He only joined those teams in...

Because they have only had it for the last week to 10 days at max? Considering it takes at least that amount of time to result in hospitalisation on average that would be why wouldn't it? Not only that but we have seen the likes of Darlow hospitalised previously. Saint-maximin got it badly...

I mean that's just nots what is happening is it? You only have to look at the games that have gone ahead to see that squads have been decimated for top teams. Even Chelsea who probably have the biggest squad in the league have had 6 players which includes 2 keepers on the bench today...

I mentioned it on another thread. People keep mentioning these loans from the premier League, but with Covid as it is clubs are going to be hoarding players in case of further outbreaks, we have already seen teams decimated by covid, it won't help if they loan out their bright talents. There...

Fuck me. This is like Ben Davies with you all over again. Phillips has had enquires from West Ham, Newcastle and Burnley already for January. For a 15 million asking price. He's also on about 40k a week. Which we would be expected to cover the majority of especially if you want the option to...

100% we will know more at the turn of the year.

Well it's not a fact it's complete bollocks it's just something you are saying? It's clearly only become a dominant strain in the last couple weeks/days. There may have been the odd case end of November? But given the testing of samples and the fact it was only discovered in SA (it's likely...

That isn't a flip side though? How many of the people on here have Omicron? Considering hospitalisations happen 7-10 days after testing positive, how many people caught it over a week ago? I would think not many... We simply don't know yet. I will happily be wrong on this one!

I think the only reason I have heard from people that are still yet to get the vaccine that isn't anti-vax is that they are concerned by how quickly the vaccine was created, without the chance to understand long-term effects. Obviously, despite the mountain of evidence against the need to...

That is only showing Omicron? The million cases figure also included delta cases. And wasn't the million a day by the end of December? The screenshot you have shared is only taking us to the 13th right?

Tbf this whole, "this strain is not as bad" thing needs to stop being parroted. One very small study in South Africa said it but it's hardly rock solid. There is very little statistical data on it yet, and most key scientists have said as much. It just aids people being complacent for me. (Not...

Jesus, what has happened at Carrington. Don't they have about 30 players? I know they have a few injuries. But wow.

Tbf only 10 day isolation. So they will be back available , but likely not great fitness wise. Can only be good for us!
