With respect, I don't think tets was saying you do have, or insinuating as such. It was in response to others suggesting it.

No problems around these parts with outlaws, once they're closer to Robin Hood than D1ck Turpin. Not pointing at you SS, general observation.

Handbags. Back to Aaron Connolly.

Picked up FourFourTwo for the first time in a long time today - current issue lists Connolly at 18 in a list of 25 Best Players in the Premier League aged 21 and under.

Someone sent me a picture of this on the front page of the Irish Sun yesterday. We all know how much of a rag that paper is but its hard to fathom the editorial decision that led to what was basically "Young single guy gets the ride" being front page news

Old single guys not getting the ride and perhaps some old single women as well !

So he can score.....

**elatedscum** · 15/03/2021, 9:30 PM

You’d be sympathetic to a young single lad living on his own abroad. Not like he was having a party or anything

Ignoring this non story I would ask a different question. Are all players vaccinated now?

With the roll out of the vaccine across the UK I find it hard to believe that all Premiership clubs wouldnt have got all their players vaccinated already. Money talks and they have been deemed essential workers since they came back to play in the summer.

Interesting point. If the Premier League are mooting a return of fans in May, then you'd think that players ought to be innoculated in advance of that...

But there's complete silence on the point, thankfully really.

Pathetic yet again from The Scum

It would be a huge PR disaster if players were found to have skipped the line. They're all young and healthy so at very little risk of dying or having severe complications. Here in the USA, the NBA made clear that no team would be allowed to skip the line and would have to wait for their turn to come, just like any other healthy male their age.

**Razors left peg** · 17/03/2021, 4:13 AM

I'm open to correction but I don't remember any Premiership player miss games in recent months for a positive covid test or close contact of positive test. Nothing announced and it may be going un noticed.

The NBA is playing the political correctness game which is fair enough, but very soon all NBA players will be vaccinated, guaranteed before the playoffs. No one will want another bubble and they won't want big names missing playoff games due to covid

**DeLorean** · 17/03/2021, 7:10 AM

It's a no brainer to prioritise them. They're the ones keeping many of us some way sane during this sh!t show.

**Eirambler** · 17/03/2021, 7:36 AM

Vaccines are widely available in the UK. I'm in my 30s and have no underlying health issues and have already had my first dose. Obviously most footballers are a bit younger than me but I don't think many people would have much of an issue with them being vaccinated now that all of the highest priority groups are done or are on the verge of being done.

There were two positive cases in the most recent rounds of testing according to premierleague.com: https://www.premierleague.com/news/1814863
The article linked includes the results from all previous rounds of testing
Names are not published unless the people concerned themselves want it to be known

Are you in a low density population area ? Guess most players wouldn't be.

**Eirambler** · 17/03/2021, 11:35 AM

No, I'm in a major UK city. My case was a bit of an anomaly (they had spare doses at a local health centre going to anyone who happened to be there that day) but it's more indicative of the wider point that there seems to be sufficient availability in the UK for professional athletes to be vaccinated now.
