Calling them irresponsible.....I'm surprised and disappointed with the players. That's them off the list for the BBQ.

So did I, not only is it a contact sport, they are role models too.

Does that mean when the ball goes into the crowd it should be cleaned before we can touch it to throw it back.
As we have been vaccinated and the players haven’t.
The opposite of cricket in fact.

Sky sports tweeded the interview on twitter.
All the anti vaxers and tinfoil hat brigade having a go at him as the players 'don't know the longterm effects' etc. I am stunned so many 'normal people' never mind footballers don't want it.
I thought it was interesting in the gaffers interview when he said 'I don't know where they are getting the advice not to take it' (or words to that effect). It can only be crack pot postings on social media.

The long term impact of any new vaccine is always going to cause slight concern, but surely logic must tell the players the risk of long Covid is significantly worse
No age is really immune from it no matter how fit you are, look at the Birmingham player that ended up in hospital a few months ago. Long Covid could cause so many problems further down the line for any of our players.
Don’t think it’s too much to ask of anyone to take medical advice from medical professionals, and not from Facebook

People who refuse the vaccine should have it noted on their medical record, so that whenever they need emergency medical treatment, they are able to consult YouTube first.

I fully agree. I would be fuming as an NHS worker when people rock up for ICU care and they haven't had the vaccine despite being offered it.
I can't say don't treat them. I would say stick them at the back of the pile for a ventilator if the wards full. Everyone has had the chance to have at least one dose of vaccine. If you choose not to then that's your decision. Just don't come running to the NHS if you need covid treatment.

Or maybe tell them no access to the changing rooms (given the risk of spreading it is higher indoors). Maybe borrow Stoke's portacabins and tell them to change in the car park. Suspect a few would quickly change their attitude as soon as it started to inconvenience them.

Would be interesting to know which ones it is.
At least they aren’t into clubbing…

If the players understand the longer lasting effects of covid could ruin their career they would probably think a big different.
the club’s insurance policy will probably be effected

Injecting something into your body that you don't feel comfortable about should never be compulsory.

He says they are only testing players that haven't had injections too... what's the rational for that, given you can pick it up and pass it on regardless of vaccination status?
