Just have to wait won’t they. I’m a fit early 40s so it’s going to be a while before I get one but if places want to open up to vaccinated people I would rather that than have them go bust. It looks like it will be July at the earliest before everyone gets offered one so I expect it will be sometime next year before we are all done with both doses. IF vaccine passports means we can open some stuff up as normal (like Israel are) then surely that makes sense.

Same principle, no one pisses their pants and cries about medical ethics when they are forced to get a vaccine to travel somewhere or do their job.

I don’t see any issue with medical ethics, you already need a vaccination to enter certain countries or do certain jobs, this is no different. We are supposed to be on a war footing, a collective effort. We just have to accept that there will be some restrictions on personal freedom, just like they did during the war.

One reason I think it’s fair is because there are people who can’t get cancer treatments or have operations because the hospitals are full of Covid patients, it’s our duty to get it done. The main reason though is the fact that the economy is on it’s arse so if passports mean things get moving even a little bit quicker they have to be worth it.

Don’t private companies have every right? There are already some jobs you cannot do without having certain jabs.

The government need to grow a pair and treat the freaks who refuse a vaccine like the selfish idiots they are.

What, the one that never went away you mean? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/battle-baghouz-white-house-declares-victory-over-isis-syria-desperation-n986246

I think they will bring everything forward quite a bit, it makes sense to prepare everyone for a longer lockdown and bring it forward rather than the opposite.

Playing style and depth of squad, plus the fact that we have put out strong sides in the cup. having a settled lineup worked in our favour in the early part of the season but now we should be rotating and can’t do so without a big drop in quality.

Brilliant! So a non-football fan accidentally started watching football game and got so angry at something one of the players did they decided to abuse them on twitter.

This, our lack of depth in the squad, injuries and the hectic schedule combined with our high energy game has fucked us.

I think it’s fair to say we are in a relegation fight now, we are awful.

That’s just shit goalkeeping

This shower of shite is in a relegation fight now.

Sod’s law we finally win something two days before fans are allowed back.

Apparently the VAR refs watch replays in actual speed precisely because of that reason, slow motion is purely to determine wether there was contact. Even with VAR there will be dodgy/debatable decisions because there is so much opinion involved, many grey areas and they are operated by humans who will always make mistakes. But VAR has undoubtable shown how poor on-field officials are at making the correct decisions, especially when it comes to offsides.

I doubt we will be spending much after reading this: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/feb/22/sign-of-the-times-how-english-clubs-are-turning-to-high-interest-us-loans

I agree there is still some bias but in general I would say VAR has reduced it. I can remember quite a few times where one of the 'big six' has had a marginal decision go against them that never would have happened without VAR, especially some of the offsides. If anything, VAR has shown up how useless on pitch officials are are getting decisions right. Someone watching on TV from multiple angles with the option of slow motion etc is so much better placed at judging than some middle aged blokes running around trying to keep up with play who have thousands of people shouting at them influencing their decision. I would probably make the VAR official the guy who makes the final call, or at least have more say TBH.

I’ve never seen the appeal of Dubai, it’s just a bunch shiney soulless buildings in a desert. If nice hotels in a hot country are your thing then there’s a long list of nicer places I can think of with more interesting culture and without the religious/human rights issues.
