Socially distant celebrations

[Ilikethewayyoumove]

Players in EPL are doing socially distant celebrations, will this become something in the Scottish Premiership? Personally I see little to no prevention of covid spreading through it due to teams being in bubbles, opposing teams in close contact defending corners etc. Thoughts?

 

[The Predator]

I believe it's in play up here As well. The sun had images today of it and well it didn't happen

 

[Battle Fever's On]

I think we should be doing this in our next game, surround the goal scorer in a socially distant manner and applaud. Would be a good piss take.

Morelos doing a James Madison would be class

 

[JoeAribosDeftTouch]

This is nothing other than insane.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Fulham did the huddle before their game against Chelsea.

In other news...

 

[Bishybear30]

But they can tackle each other, run side by side and breath all over one another butttttt don’t celebrate lol cmon tae feck

 

[FSM]

Socially distanced flute-playing?

 

[Scarface]

Anything..........just anything to call it a day for football up here.

Lets see in the next few weeks.

 

[Karky Madoolla]

It’s fine to wrestle with each other at corner kicks though.

 

[Hurricane Run]

I believe being socially distanced from the scorer would be a tremendous tribute to Duffys marking

 

[dunkin45]

Morelos doing a James Madison would be class

You mean he is going to re write the federalist papers and ignite his volatile relationship with Jefferson . This I have to see.

 

[Deek]

mentally challengeds are doing socially distanced defending, fair play

 

[dunkin45]

The scum are really trying to get back in the good books. I mean, deliberately not scoring goals in their games to avoid any chance of breaking the rules over celebrations is impressive and they should be congratulated on saving lives.

We are living in the age of no common sense.

 

[dunkin45]

Is Rugby still continuing?

 

[Numanloyal]

I’m more concerned about our ability to celebrate 55 , the Bears will be bursting to do so

 

[Big D]

We are living in the age of no common sense.

This. It's almost as if people in authority are falling over themselves to put rules and regs in place, no matter how ridiculous, just so they're seen to be doing something. Anything!

 

[chrisrfc1]

What a stupid idea made up by stupid people .

 

[Madjid Moments]

I’d just like to see 10 fingers held up to the camera and then see them all fall down.

 

[KGR98]

They are training together crowding in the box at set plays and tackling each other I doubt celebrating together is gonna make any difference at all

 

[James Curran Baxter]

Gerrard, on Friday says he was going to speak to the players about this

 

[When we were young]

It didn't stop Hibs players celebrating Gogics goal yesterday.
Punishment coming?
I don't think so!

Exactly mate. Its become a form of virtue signalling.

 

[Rfclee]

Joke, how u social distance during a corner. Shambles of a rule

 

[Forth Bear]

It's a lot of nonsense.

Football is a contact sport and the players are tested.

 

[McQueen]

If we’ve to have socially distant celebrations then the Tims can’t be allowed to continue doing the huddle.

 

[Stevie13000]

Players been asked to socially distance in regards to goal celebrations yet my mrs (no pics)is upstairs watching dancing on ice where couples are in constant contact.

They done a socially distanced one yesterday

And will all be riding each other in a matter of weeks

 

[cocobob]

Everyday just gets weird and so on and so forth. Will it ever end?

 

[MarcoNegri]

I take it this point about needing to be in close contact with someone for 15 mins to potentially catch covid outdoors is pish then?

Because if it's not, then why do we need to get worked up about goal celebrations?

 

[DelPiero]

A convenient ‘issue’ for the media to discuss in order to distract people from government failings and more important issues in the battle against Covid.

Football is such an easy target for this sort of nonsense and it’s so, so tiring.

If they’ve got an issue with players who are tested regularly being in close proximity to each other then football shouldn’t be getting played at all.

As I said, it’s utter nonsense.

You’d almost think a footballer had (again) humiliated the govt into taking action as regards food poverty.

 

[Drumchapel-Bear]

The players need a negative Covid test before they are allowed to play so what's the issue here?

Football is an emotional game. Strip the emotion out of it and with no fans in the stadium either you have nothing left. The games are bad enough to watch as it is without taking the last bit of enjoyment out of it.

 

[Vader]

If it helps keep football out of the spotlight in a negative manner, go for it.

The players are supposed to be soicalky distanced everywhere other than the pitch itself, so it does make sense to reduce unnecessary contact.

 

[azuloso1954]

Yes I watched the Warriors v Edinburgh on Saturday, scrums rucks and mauls so whats the ruling on this???

 

[BL-11]

Just more virtue signalling nonsense.

Fit young men do not become ill with CV19, nor is there any evidence that they get it and pass it on asymptomatically.

These guys are tested regularly, are in football bubbles and have been since the summer at least.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

This is just football being offered up as another sacrificial lamb by a government whose shambolic handling of this situation has sought scapegoats at every turn.

It was the same in the summer when footballers were being asked to turn a pay cut.

 

[GF1]

I would like to see the evidence of the thousands of goals scored since football resumed, how many covid infections has it led to.

I would guess the answer is about 0.

That’s not true, there have been examples of footballers becoming ill with it, at Newcastle both Lascelles and St- Maximin have missed several weeks due to the effects of long Covid.

 

[Ubik]

yet the mentally challengeds still have a pre-match huddle.

 

[Pyro]

the unwashed never had their pre match huddle at the weekend

 

[RobbieRFC]

It’s a ‘messaging’ thing.

The government think we’re that stupid that if we see footballers hugging after scoring that we’ll all think it’s OK to hug our mum/dad/granny etc.

Doh!
