It's just a few little pricks....

Hot on the heels of Paul Cox mention that only half of our players have had any of the Covid jabs we have had another wave of infections crash over our club, effectively f*cking-up bumper-gated games over Christmas and New Year.  

These potentially money-spinning games will now (hopefully) become under-watched midweek games at some point later in the season.  I assume those player (s) who have brought Covid into the camp again will still be looking for their full financial whack when these games happen even though they have effectively cost the club a lot of money in lost earnings?

Whilst there's no certainty that an un-jabbed player has infected his colleagues who would bet against it?  

Why are footballers statistically less likely than the rest of us to vaccinate and protect themselves (and others) against infection?  The accepted historical perception of footballers is that they are not necessarily the brightest bulbs on the Christmas Tree.  I'm not sure this is true but surely it takes a special level of ignorance to not lessen the chance of yourself or loved ones falling unnecessarily ill?  Is it because they are young and fit that they feel they are in some way immune?  

Or is it because the average footballer spends 98% of their free time on social media where scientific truth and the random opinions of the tin-foil-hat brigade have equal weight?  There's certainly at least one prominent former Poppies player who uses Twitter to highlight his pig-ignorance with copious "evidence" gleaned directly from such august organs as DumbassConspiracy.Com and David Icke.co.uk.

How can it be fair that we might soon be in a position where supporters will have to prove they are fully jabbed to attend a game while half of the players blithely carry on without a care for themselves or anyone else? 

 


Thanks a bundle.....
