This is pretty tame tbf. The best FT morals match was after the Thailand sex scandal when people were calling out others for being ‘sheltered’ when they questioned the act of rim licking.

 

Peak Foxestalk that.

The issue appears to be that we could want a future game postponed due to an outbreak after this.

 

If that happens, we don't get it postponed.

When people post on a thread to ask why is this: “even still active” they never seem to appreciate the irony

Good point well made sir.

14 pages of people seemingly not getting it as all I read is "ladz have done nothing wrong" "ladz deserve some down time" People comparing their lives and experience to a professional footballer as they some how think they relate etc... Surely people can't be this naive? 

 

Football is hanging on by a thread at the moment. Clubs are trying desperately to manage the spread to keep fixtures going by cancelling training, isolating people where necessary etc. 

 

One thing we know from Omicron is that it spreads like wildfire. There's a chance now that they have picked up Covid at the darts meaning that we would be weakened even further for the next game. If this happens (and I really hope it doesn't) it would be purely on them! 

 

I'm also disappointed that KDH was there as he came across to me as someone hugely focused and hell bent on taking his chance in the team. If he finds himself out now then he'll only have himself to blame. 

 

 

 

Spot on.

Why?

 

Do the Premier League say "You had players at the darts, therefore you have to play"?

I have a feeling the Premier League will be much stricter on games being off from now on and clubs being seen to stop the spread of the virus with protocols. I don't think they'd look favourably on this if the situation arises.

Lets see the reaction here when 3 of them are ruled out of the next  game with a positive test

Bang on.

 

I’d like to think we get on with it.

 

For me, I don’t wanna see any crying about ‘we want the game cancelled’, we get on with it.

 

Of course there will be crying, from the club, from the management, from the players and probably a lot of fans and the game probably would be called off and that is what I’d be pissed off with - no clubs should have/no games should have been cancelled but it’s the precedent that has been set, cancelling many game for the most petty and pathetic reasons.

Football is hanging on by a thread because of how much testing is taking place, It needs scaling back. But that’s for the Covid thread.
 

You can literally pick it up anywhere, if one of them does get covid there’s no guarantee it’s come from the darts.

And there lies the problem, everyone being urged to test, test, test and then test again for no reason whatsoever.

 

Are people not realising how silly it is they’re testing for no reason, with no symptoms.

If you’ve got symptoms do the right think, take a test. If you’re around vulnerable people or other similar reasons take a test.
 

Did we used to test or isolate for a cold for all these years?

 

I believe this virus is very real and I believe it’s very dangerous for certain people but I feel we’re at a point of needing to get on with life and some of the measures in place, some of the ways people are acting are ridiculous, people need to do be careful, be safe but for god sake take some responsibility for ourselves and actions.

The irony of some you lot calling them out as selfish... who will then go and sit next to thousands of people watching them and then go home to your families straight after

To go somewhere so high risk and be really public about it is not a smart move. 

 

If I chose to go to the darts, in the back of my mind somewhere I'd be telling myself "there's a high risk I might be picking the virus up here" the thing is, my role in society means there's people who easily replace me and I don't have a direct effect on a multi-billion pound industry that people rely on for so many reasons. 

 

Surely they realise what direct impact they will have on so many people if they become positive?

 

Sadly, we have to learn to live with this virus. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Life must go on. The club haven’t seen it as an issue, so why should we?

You clearly have no idea about Covid if you think this "Are people not realising how silly it is they’re testing for no reason, with no symptoms" 

In fact it's people like you who are probably responsible for the spread

Oh people like me….

 

Everyone can spread it, you’re not exempt.

 

Or is it you who clearly has no idea about Covid?

Exactly this, it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and the measure is always going to be can the NHS cope…. At the moment it seems to be, despite rising numbers of cases. 
 

And for those getting on the players backs and suggesting that it could hamper the season, isn’t that too a little selfish? So the players must go home after training and stay there? 
 

Rubbish, whilst there’s no restrictions there’s no reason to moan about it, the lads can do as they wish.

Your right, they are not relatable. There are people here who's profession actually fuching matter. There would have been people in attendance at the darts who's job makes an actual differance. 

 

What people are getting at here is that no one seems to care when NHS staff, public transport workers, shop workers etc do these things and it's them who keep the country running yet all this outrage when a group of lads in the entertainment industry do it? 

 

Again, you're right. Not comparable at all.

Exactly. We all want what’s best for the club and for the team to be winning games. A night out like this for the lads to be “normal” will do wonders for the “player welfare” that so many managers have been banging on about. 
 

The shit storm that’s been made out of this is quite frankly pathetic. If the lads had broken any rules I’d be saying different, but for me, yourself and many others they’ve literally not done anything wrong. 
 

I genuinely fear for those that think the lads shouldn’t have been there or were in the wrong.

So, if you don't test, you don't have it?

 

The number of cases isn't the problem, it's actually irrelevant. 

 

The key number is people in hospital.

I’ve not said what you’re saying in the first sentence.

 

A lot is being made of your second - and precisely the point I making, it’s irrelevant but so much is made of cases going through the roof.

 

Of course the key part is people I hospital but regardless of Covid or not unfortunately the NHS will always claim they’re overwhelmed, every, single, year.

Go and find a forum like "Ariva Bus Talk" or something and complain on there. 

 

 

[An Away Move]

I can't quite believe we've got 14 pages of people thinking there is zero issue with this. It has nothing to do with the players relaxing and being able to do what they want. It's about a judgement call. I can't imagine the ventilation was good, combine that with a large crowd inside who may or may not have done lateral flow tests and that presents a stupid risk they've taken - hence why it is a news story. Some players have caught it and cited the venue being a risk, including Van Gerwen. With our injury list it was terribly bad call on their part. If you can't see that that I am afraid you must be an ostrich! 😂
