keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 17, 2020 I am totally confused by what is happening when somebody tests positive for Covid. The PM has to isolate because of Test and Trace. He posts that he has to obey the rules. Bristol City announce that a number of their club have tested positive but their game can go ahead. How. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,207 Posted November 17, 2020 Football has different rules, crazy. Norway being allowed into the U.K. after playing in Denmark is an even more puzzling one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,168 Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Professional sport is encouraged because it enhances public morale in difficult times. The justification is that there is a rigorous testing regime. The appearance of Boris Johnson would have the opposite effect. Isolation therefore being the obvious solution. 😆😆 Edited November 17, 2020 by BroadstairsR 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,207 Posted November 17, 2020 The justification is that there is a rigorous testing regime. If only that was correct. Below the EPL testing is not compulsory and many clubs cannot afford to fund it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted November 17, 2020 It does seem wrong, but the morale point was a good one for football generally, except that from a morale point of view, the internationals don't really do that for a lot of fans. The pressure to do internationals was there, but are they really necessary? Not in my book, the internationals don't do much for me - I've just missed not having Norwich matches to look forward to, but - and I think Farke alluded to this in an interview before the break - there is a danger of players travelling around the world spreading the virus more and endangering the situation at clubs when they return. Hope not, but it might get a bit difficult for some clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,747 Posted November 17, 2020 Totally wrong on so many levels for a club that has even one player with covid playing a game of football. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then to play a meaningless friendly, which the Nations League was supposed to take the place of, is bizarre. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) The issue is when these players that have had any contact with a 'positive' player return to their clubs they should then self- isolate for 14 days as they could pass covid onto their team-mates or opposition. Will they ? It's a ticking time-bomb............ Edited November 17, 2020 by paul moy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
