Yep, that's what I read. 25 man squad, plus u23 team. Absolute disgrace that these diva's can't get on with it.

That's pretty much it mate.

Fixed it for you.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Pampered primadonas. Massive clubs with 25 great players, plus shit loads of u23 players to bolster the squad. So they've got to play a few kids, just get on with it. Leeds have 5 cases amongst staff and players. That's no reason to not play.

World

Pep now mentioning players striking. They get no sympathy from me. 25 man squads, plus u23 teams. Mix the teams up and get on with it, unless there really is no way of putting 18 names down from that mix of players.

it was clear that my post was speculative...the word "perhaps" is clear. This is a forum, we all speculate.

Seems to be. I've got a colleague still suffering ages after he had it. Young, fit, double vaccinated. Someone posted a link above to the NHS website with a list of long Covid symptoms. I know people who've had/still have all of them between them. Those symptomsIare horrid, and I don't get why people (not directed at you) are trying hard to minimise something based on what they hope the reality is, not what it actually is.

Yes, but that's not relevant to what covid can cause. My point is that the emphasis on case numbers is pointless as everyone is testing so there'll be more positives, and the emphasis on deaths but ignoring the health issues that people can be left with is equally unhelpful.

Pie

Yep. The focus throughout has been cases and deaths, not what people can be left with. I know people of a variety of ages left with long Covid, type 1 diabetes, arthritis, neurological issues, auto immune disease, etc. And some people still liken it to flu (although have never probably had actual flu).

Wrap

Got any new lines yet? That one's shit.

Why?

We all live with hope. Show me a person who says that they've never crossed their fingers, or taken a chance and hoped for the right outcome, and I'll show you a liar.

Yep. This variant is still in its infancy over here. Locking down would have been over the top, and doing nothing would have been negligent. At the moment we just have to pop a mask on, use common sense/our own judgment, and boost our defences with another jab. Our current approach is balanced and sensible imo, and I'm not sure where page after page of the same repetitive nonsense takes anyone.

Machine

It's got that feel to it. Ostracised and not selected until jabbed, perhaps.

That work from home or be fine stance is outrageous. I've interpreted the if you "can" work from home to mean that we can't work from home effectively, so we go to work. If we implement this, that can't happen. That decision feels like a step towards lockdown by stealth.

This is a premium forum mate, percentages only. Fractions are so ugly inside.

It was, although I'm surprised that he hasn't retorted with 66.6666667%

MLG must be getting a little twinge from all the pedantry on display here.

Cooked

Yep. This "have the jab to protect others" is nonsense. My jabs help me, and if they stop me being hospitalised, they help the NHS. They don't help anyone else though as I can still pass covid on. The only thing I can do to help others is pop a mask on and do regular LF tests, a covid passport doesn't help anyone.

You're as capable as giving a correct answer as I am. Not like you tobe shy.
