If he was available to play the reaction towards him would have been a lot different. Does that really matter? The knock on effect is still the same, what's the problem? The problem is going to a house party and picking up covid and giving it to other people as well as passing it on to our other players and causing a shit tonne of bother for us. As soon as the club found out they had no choice to make these players unavailable but had they not found out whether the player was able to play vs West Ham or not they could have been part of training with other players and put us in a terrible situation, games postponed etc. Although if we could replay that game yesterday then yes please 🤪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost guarantee by this time next month, if not next week (If we beat Southampton) no one will care. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamark Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 Peachy I think you may be missing the point big time .An infection however unlikely due to this piss up and we could loose half the team .Cags a case in point he would have been handy yesterday. Many months back when we were on booking in to pubs and 6 persons Barnes was in the boozer with about 10 other lads splashing the cash and I thought at the time how are the club allowing this .They have to ask/instruct the players to be super careful for however long to protect the team and the club.Im going for a beer tonight with a friend but I have been vaccinated and I dont play professional sport.

Complete lack of respect for their teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezzanator89 Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 The three players are an absolute disgrace, and an insult to all of us that have sacrificed so much in the last 12 months. No football player is above the club, or the fans that support them all the way. Brendan Rodgers has played this situation perfectly, but will have, not doubt, been in the minds of the players that took to the pitch yesterday. It certainly looked like it for the first hour, the entire team was woeful until Albrighton's introduction. There will no doubt be an element of resentment and among fans and players now towards Maddison, Perez and Hamza, and it could not have come at a worse time. But we need to draw a line under this, and quick, before this becomes a domino effect that derails our entire season that promised so much, but could end up delivering so little.

I don't think whether someone plays professional sport or not should matter in this case. They've done wrong no doubt by breaking the law but so many people are going over the top with their reactions. People wanting them all sacked or sold are just doing so for effect when in reality they've done little more wrong than most people on here would of in the course of the last year. Let the police deal with it, remove them from the first team bubble for a few days and test them and take internal action. That's all that needs to happen. Also the Soyuncu case is different as he tested positive I'm pretty sure. Edited 12 April 2021 by peach0000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason Maddison,Hamza and Perez are getting flak on here is because they were could have played yesterday. I'm not excusing Barnes in all of this. It looks terrible for him too but he is injured. If he was fully fit his name would be on the topic headline too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If from here we don't go on to make top 4 then other factors will be way more to blame than this incident and I think it'll be remembered as such.

I've always wondered why we need a social media channel to be the voice of the fans, until I saw this message and thought wow, it all makes sense now.

Either they were stupid enough to talk about it in the team Whatsapp, bragged about it to a team-mate or... and this is very much a long shot, but much isn't mentioned about Morgan... perhaps his involvement wasn't so great and on finding out the full extent, he alerted Brendan?

ian__marshall Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 29 minutes ago, StanSP said: surely if you test negative, you don't have the virus. So being symptomatic or asymptomatic or being a vector for transmission is irrelevant? My understanding from the studies that I've read is that PCR detects circa 57% of infections prior to onset when performed every other day hence why the general advice is to test upon displaying symptoms. Contrast that against around about 89% of people testing positive within 4 days following symptom onset, and you can see that nothing can be taken for granted. In this instance where testing is twice weekly, 2 of the rumoured 5 could be carriers without testing positive or displaying symptoms which is why I suspect they've had to train in isolation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison seems to talk a good game about where he wants to be in his career but his actions say otherwise. It comes from a weak mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
