thevestofdeanambrose Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 When deeney appeared on soccer Saturday earlier this season was hillarious, it was so bad, worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I mean the particular quote that’s been lifted from him there is a poor example - the 19 people he’ll be stood in the box with will have tested negative for Covid-19 the night before the game whereas at the hairdressers you can’t guarantee anyone isn’t carrying it. Up to him what he wants to do and fair play if he doesn’t feel safe, with all the precautions being taken I think playing football will be one of the safest places to be mind, as I say everyone will have been tested literally the night before and tested negative, as happened in the German league this past weekend so the risk will be minimal.

Otto Dem Wanz Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) How can they possibly be thinking about football during a time like this, dont they know people are dying? Disgusting institution. Edited May 19, 2020 by Otto Dem Wanz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a poor example. Deeney has a five month old baby who has struggled with breathing difficulties since birth, in addition to the fact that there's still ongoing research as to why BAME people have seemed to be significantly more susceptible to the virus. Even playing behind closed doors, any footballer is going to exposed to a number of unpredictable elements surrounding the preparation, participation and aftermath of a game. He's absolutely right to exercise caution and it's absolutely ridiculous that we're considering playing football in a country when several hundred people are stll dying every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a shock? Nobody was expecting it to be 0. What's the appetite for risk? 0.8% is probably as good as it will ever get, without a vaccine it will never get down to 0. As for Troy Deeney's point, don't turn up to training, but don't start explaining your reasons. There are probably 1000's of key workers going to work with issues that are as bad, if not worse than Deeney's situation. They're not crying about it in the press, they're going to work because they have to survive. Guess old Troy is going to be locked in his house until we get a vaccine.

Â Because some people are exposed to life threatening situations we all should be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Deeney is a lump and a gobshite but you can't argue with his stance, nor anyone's who doesn't fancy the risk for a stupid game of football. They'll all have to face the financial ramifications of all this regardless so everyone should put themselves and their families first if they can afford to. I know I would.

I love football like mad, it's consuming me more and more these days. I miss Premier League and grassroots even more, but fucking hell, it's not important in the grand scheme of things. Just leave it until we know it's safe rather than this risk-taking bollocks. Edited May 19, 2020 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdogg Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I've come back with my tail between my legs about Troy Deeney. I stand by the 0.8% not being that high compared to the other tests being done, nothing can ever be safe or risk free. I don't know what safe means in this case, especially when it seems that this will be around for a long period of time, maybe forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
