Players celebrating goals debate.

Just when you think matters couldn't get more bizarre this comes along. 22 players at any one time playing a contact sport over 90 minutes, and the powers that be, no doubt egged on by the SAGE ''experts'' think that an over exuberant goal celebration is more likely to spread covid than the game itself. If we digress slightly, let's look at Rugby Union, where 16 players can scrum down and the front row can compare their direct opponents after shave, and others smell a team mates arse hole. This public health emergency has truly rewarded some of the most talent less jobs worth w@nkers around.
 
Cant be true. You can only catch it if you have been within 2m for 15 mins or more. Anything less than that is totally impossible. Or so its being made out when discussing them at the bar. "We cant prove how long they were there!"
 
This covid is really gonna change everything I fear. Fed up with the whole thing. Ridiculous players can’t even shake hands or celebrate a goal anymore. When the %^*& is things gonna go back to normal :(
 
If they have been tested constantly and negative then fine unless the virus is airborne however given the constant tests being highly negative I see nothing wrong but the players could make that decision voluntary if they felt a threat imo?
 
The chief of the English FA was on the news early talking about this and said they have sanctions in place and will enforce them if necessary.
Completely ridiculous. These guys train alongside each other day in day out, a 2 second hug isn't going to make a difference.

Just sick of the whole thing now. Rules and restrictions everywhere

we will be waking round like robots, not allowed to socialise or communicate with anyone

That may have been true for the original covid, the new variant spreads a lot easier, that'll be why it's brought in now.


It's about reducing risk, if football complies and the game continues I'm all for it tbh. To stop rugby players smelling arseholes you would need to change the game completely. This is only changing the celebrations.
 
Just celebrate goals like Derek Johnstone or Alan Shearer did. Arm up as they run back toward the centre spot, back slaps from team mates. This jumping all over each other and rolling about on the ground is a relatively recent phenomenon. An example, the England World Cup winners didn’t jump all over each other. Reinstate the simpler celebrations meantime and take away a potential issue. FFS folk can’t see their relatives, grandkids, etc. it’s not hard to do and I don’t understand the celebrations particularly with no crowds in the stadia.

Scoring the goal that wins us the league and you expect the players to just nod to each other with a smile?

This completely misses the point that the sport itself be that football or rugby offers up more contact than any celebration. It's another example that this public health issue has totally robbed people of rational thought.
 
Hold on, did they actually still do a huddle like that but not joined up? That’s desperate, surely some of the players there must be embarrassed to be doing that and wondering what it is about that club that they have to bend over to get told to be up for a game!
Interesting choice of words considering who it’s about.
