Nil, if you were to show symptoms you would get tested, whilst waiting for the results your household would need to isolate, if the test came back positive then your household would need to isolate for the full 14 days, they wouldn’t get tested unless they show symptoms.

It’s not necessarily the one catching it that causes the problems for businesses, it’s the ones that have to isolate and can’t work from home that do that.

Hopefully you won’t have to go down that road Nil and you stay safe and well….Pagan

9, you quote the numbers as if they are something to behold, they’re no better than the the general population, in fact if you took out the students they’re probably worse, 50 out of a couple of thousand is about the going rate for the UK…..Pagan

9, those figures aren’t particularly good, in fact far from it, the stats for the general population are done per 100000, if you do the maths then it’s worse than the majority of the country, Leicester went into special measures when they had just over 100 per 100000…..Pagan

9, not sure what Frank’s idea of a bubble is, but having protocols in the work place isn’t a bubble. The fact that they’re vastly more likely to pick up infection away from the club is without doubt, so letting players travel around the world playing footy seems a bit odd…..Pagan

Nil, there are no bubbles in football and testing doesn’t stop you catching it, it can reduce the spread though….Pagan

9, the IPL ran for almost 8 weeks, plus 2 weeks training and 2 weeks isolation at the start, with the teams playing at least every 3 days so broadcasters got a game a day, and for that some of the top players earned what some prem players get a week.

Yes I get football is over 9 months, but they’re not doing anything different to you or I in order to protect themselves, that’s not just players though it’s the 300 or so at each game….Pagan

9, yes it is easier, but footy has just gone free for all and we’ll just take your temperature and then test a couple of times a week, their kids and partners are carrying on as normal (as it gets at the moment) they travel all over the country, and then they get to go abroad.

Basically they’re taking less precautions than the average man in the street and we’re meant to be grateful to them that footy is still being played…..Pagan

Adlab, I just don’t think football is really taking it seriously, if you take the recent cricket IPL, the players arrived in the UAE and had to test and self isolate for 14 days before they met up as teams, they then stayed in bubbles as teams, there was no interaction with the outside world, just other teams that stuck rigidly the the same protocols, guess what? During the whole tournament there were no cases among the teams.

Yes I suppose it was tough on players, but they stuck to it, that said some are now on their way to Australia for the BBL and will have to do the same there, so they obviously think the sacrifice is worth it both sport wise and financially…..Pagan

It seems that football doesn’t put as much effort into COVID prevention as other sports, they seem to just be testing rather than preventing, other sports have had teams in bubbles, whilst I appreciate that the football season is far longer that the 6 weeks of a tournament plus the 14 days before hand, there seems to be very little done to isolate those within the game from general exposure whilst away from the match day/training regime…..Pagan

Mak, or clubs could take the decision not to load themselves with players of one nationality apart from their own, if any said team has more than as you say 3 home nation players missing then the league should let them move a game. I do think clubs do this already in regards to African players…..Pagan

International football weeks is a unique problem for football, other sports manage it far better, but they can as they have other rules to enable them to do so. Take cricket, if there’s an international during the season, the counties just lose those players involved and the season just carries on, this system doesn’t compress the season and force teams to play the seasons games in less time, it also doesn’t over play the international players as they don’t play extra games, the other thing it does is it levels the playing field between the top and bottom clubs by weakening the top clubs for the periods of time the international matches are played. I don’t know what happens with rugby but I don’t think the league stops for international breaks. Cricket is able to do this as they limit the number of overseas players a county can register, so an international series only takes a few players out of the game, football because of the amount of players from different nations playing in the Premier League can’t do this most of time, the big exception being the African Cup of Nations, it may be possible to do something similar if European internationals were a constant event being staggered across the entire season and not all countries playing at the same time, this would probably give an extra 3 or 4 weeks of season time and wouldn’t see international players playing excessive games…..Pagan

Brian, not so sure they’re soft, but they are overly pampered to and have an over inflated sense of self worth. Football has become less of a passion for them and become just a job, fame, money and celebrity status is now far more important than the game and it’s become secondary. The more successful teams do play a lot of games nowadays, but squads are far bigger and should be able to cope, and I would suggest that even if they allowed 5 substitutes a game the core 11 would always start and many from the squad of 15 still wouldn’t play.

As for the women’s game, it may be a little slower and less physical, but there’s very little if any play acting and rolling round on the floor in agony, and if they do it’s because they genuinely are injured and tend to hold the part of the body that has been kicked. Unfortunately for me the daughters had to give up footy this season, the team she played for said she had to make a choice between footy or cricket, don’t think they were expecting her choice to be honest……Pagan

Mak, it would seem only one person has lost his rag, you really do do need to calm down.

Your arrogance of wanting to put the little clubs in their place was what made me write my comments…..Pagan

Brian, I too am looking forward to 8 changes when they bring on the Defence side for the offence side when defending a corner, hopefully we’ll be able to get an advert in whilst it happens…..Pagan

Brian, as you say the duty of care is with the employers, that said then HH is wrong, I’m prepared to stand corrected on this but don’t the clubs employ the players, therefore the duty of care is with them…..Pagan

To be honest I don’t care either way about the number of substitutes, it was Maks attitude that made me disagree with going to 5, chuff me, they win the prem once and it’s “were a big club now” let’s knife the so called smaller teams…..Pagan

Nil, it’s not just about youth players it’s about your squad, your squads there to cover injuries and fatigue. If you have 25 players in your squad (that’s without youth players) and you can’t manage, then there’s something wrong with your squad composition.

It’s a managers job (in all walks of life) to make sure he has the manpower available to do the job he needs doing, that includes planning for sickness and fatigue, football managers are lucky, they don’t have to include leave in their job.

The “lower” clubs don’t have as many matches as they’re not in European competitions, but then they don’t have the money from those competitions to play world class players to sit on their arses, I would have a bit of sympathy if you were expected to play more matches with no extra finance, but you’re not, so Klopp needs to do what managers should do, manage not whinge…..Pagan
