It’s actually embarrassing.Ok cheers.
I shall spend the rest of the morning trying to get angry about a guy having 2 weeks off on holiday.

TBF I have told you before that i take nothing you say seriously when it involves Morelos because you seem to have some irrational hatred for him. Its obvious in every single thread.No one on here is seriously telling me they think it’s ok for a player to miss our opening league game due to being away on holiday.
If he has to isolate for 10 days then sorry but he should have been back in the UK with his family before now so that he would be available for selection.
I get that players should be allowed holidays but when he’s on upwards of £30k a week and when on his game, one of our best players, he should be ready for the new season.
We’ve seen in recent seasons he doesn’t always start the season on fire and it took him a couple of months to get sharp last season.
Gerrard’s comments on Friday suggest he wasn’t entirely happy with the situation either.
Or if he is they’re paying top dollarAs long as he's not going to Rome.
I for one am considering the depth we have.No one on here is seriously telling me they think it’s ok for a player to miss our opening league game due to being away on holiday.

He should have the elite sportsman passport that enables him to avoid quarantine. The road race cyclists at the Olympics were all competing in the Tour de France that finished last Sunday and they competed in Tokyo yesterday. Similarly, the golfers at the Open flew in from all over the world and were not required to quarantine.Just in time for 10 day isolation for Malmö/Helsinki.
Should be exempt from it as an elite sportsperson however I’m not sure where Columbia in the lists.Does Alfie need to isolate on his return or os Columbia a green light country?
Cheers

The club have also preferred having players isolate before joining up with the squad before but they might view it differently now.
They are, or have been, taking part in sporting events. Alfie has just finished a well-deserved two week holiday AFTER his participation in a sporting event. He was, therefore, away from any control or sporting bubble created by the organisers. I'd love to think he won't need to isolate but I don't think his exemption will apply.He should have the elite sportsman passport that enables him to avoid quarantine.

When is he meant to have started his holiday earlier? Colombia’s last match was July 10. 2 weeks break and then back which is right on schedule. Maybe, just maybe Gerrard was referring to the possible quarantine situation and was unclear on how that would affect his return to training.No one on here is seriously telling me they think it’s ok for a player to miss our opening league game due to being away on holiday.

I don’t have any hatred towards him.TBF I have told you before that i take nothing you say seriously when it involves Morelos because you seem to have some irrational hatred for him. Its obvious in every single thread.
I’m aware of that. Madrid don’t begin their season for a few weeks though.I for one am considering the depth we have.
in any walk of life you are allowed your time off, it’s a basic human right! Doesn’t matter how much he is on.
Look at all the players missing from Real Madrid and not training yet.
How the %^*& is that a dig from Gerrard? Maybe he realises Morelos is entitled to a break so isn't even thinking about him being back yet.I don’t have any hatred towards him.
I was very praising of him in the second half of last season.
Just because a poster doesn’t behave like a fan boy towards a certain player, doesn’t make them hate the player.
And btw, by your logic our manager must hate Morelos too given his dig at Morelos on Fridays interview when he said he had no idea when he was due home.
So basically what you are saying is, due to Columbia reaching the final of the Copa America and our season starting earlier than others he isn’t entitled to any form of holiday?I’m aware of that. Madrid don’t begin their season for a few weeks though.
We begin ours in under 7 days not to mention CL qualifiers in 10 days time worth a fortune to the club
Does Alfie need to isolate on his return or os Columbia a green light country?

Semi final*So basically what you are saying is, due to Columbia reaching the final of the Copa America and our season starting earlier than others he isn’t entitled to any form of holiday?
Because that’s what it would have taken for him to be back in time for ore season.
And if you are, it’s a ridiculous suggestion. Everyone needs a bit of time off.
We sign a South American and the Copa America is always a consideration. Just like the African Cup of nations if we sign an African player.
Needs to do a hotel quarantine.
Likely why Gerrard said he didn't know when he was going to be back as seems to have been some confusion around it.
Jeez.
I’d have vacationed in a green light country to avoid that.
Assuming that’s possible
Selfish bastards!Unfortunately his family all live in colombia
Unfortunately his family all live in colombia
The baby has just been christened. He didn’t look overweight it the photos.
With our squad, we should be able to see off Malmö and Livingston and get Morelos up and running for the next round.I’m aware of that. Madrid don’t begin their season for a few weeks though.
We begin ours in under 7 days not to mention CL qualifiers in 10 days time worth a fortune to the club
You've lost me.
He was visiting his family at home in Colombia?
So he couldn't have vacationed in a green list country.
Doesn't matter which country he comes in from or how many, if any, vaccinations he has had. If he has been in a Red List country in the 10 days prior to entering the UK then quarantine is required. For the full 10 days.Jeez.
I’d have vacationed in a green light country to avoid that.
Assuming that’s possible
I was saying what I would’ve done ( based on the horror stories that are circulating re UK Covid hotels ).
you are constantly having a dig in every morelos thread give it a rest ffsI don’t have any hatred towards him.

The media have been shit stirring about Alfie to distract from the absolute circus across the city and it seems like some folk have fallen from it
when was the last time we had a player that was involved right up until the end of an international tournament?
And if he does need to isolate then where is the issue? He has had less time off than the rest of the team if he is on his way back.
They aren't real Morales fans though.The most disappointing thing about all of this is, he’s been here what about 4 years? And people are still getting mixed up between Columbia and Colombia.
When is he meant to have started his holiday earlier? Colombia’s last match was July 10. 2 weeks break and then back which is right on schedule. Maybe, just maybe Gerrard was referring to the possible quarantine situation and was unclear on how that would affect his return to training.
This is my point.Jeez.

He's just celebrated his wife's birthday and had his kid baptised. For sure, all that could have been done elsewhere but I don't think it unreasonable that he chose to do it with family and friends. He's also just had his annual charity fundraiser back in his home town. It would appear he has already given up a week of the three weeks off that would normally follow participation in such tournaments as agreed by Fifpro/FIFA.This is my point.
IF he has to quarantine for 10 days then he should have been given his time off but told to take it in a country where he won’t have to quarantine for 10 days.
I’m not against him having a holiday. He deserves one, of course he does.
But having his time off in a country which will likely require a further 10 days in isolation is far from ideal given the season starts in 6 days
Mate he’s tiresome. I remember saying the same thing to him about 2 seasons ago.you are constantly having a dig in every morelos thread give it a rest ffs
I don’t think you would get any of that at the airport Holiday InnI hope someone at the club will have done this but if it was me in charge then I would have done the following.
1. Booked the biggest possible suite in a quarantine hotel that could be found.
2. Made sure that one room was fitted with the exercise equipment used by the club for fitness training.
3. Installed a TV monitor to allow the Rangers fitness staff to oversee Alfie’s training schedule with live sessions.
4. Employ a chef to use the hotel kitchen and prepare all of Alfie’s food.
5. Ensure that the suite has at least two bedrooms so that Alfie can get sleep and not be constantly woken by the baby as he will need to be up to speed.
It is possible the club may have done all of this.
It is certainly achievable if thought is put into it and would mean he would return to training in good condition.
So to clarify, so he's with the squad, yoy think this Rangers employee is to be denied annual leave? Just in terms of lawful contracts etc, this is what you propose?And what opinion is that?! That I’d prefer that he was with the squad preparing for the season ahead? Aye, ludicrous.
Some sense. My point is simply that not having him with the squad is a problem. Morelos doesn’t pick and choose when he attends training so I’m not criticising him but anyone that thinks Morelos not being with the squad at this point in the season is not a potential problem is on a different planet.
This is my point.
IF he has to quarantine for 10 days then he should have been given his time off but told to take it in a country where he won’t have to quarantine for 10 days.
I’m not against him having a holiday. He deserves one, of course he does.

Has his quarantine been confirmed by anyone?

It’s Morelos .They aren't real Morales fans though.
Section off a part of the training centre and get him moved in. He can use the facilities every day after everyone's left and be better looked after.*I hope someone at the club will have done this but if it was me in charge then I would have done the following.

It has to be in an approved quarantine hotel but there really is nothing to stop booking even a whole floor if there is room!!Section off a part of the training centre and get him moved in. He can use the facilities every day after everyone's left and be better looked after.*
* Only half joking.
From Columbia, right?It’s Morelos .
