[Albion] RDZ - sick - but back on bench soon

[Deadly Danson]

Sorry, I now don't know what to worry about first - RDZ missing tomorrow's match, Covid spreading around the squad, RDZ leaving at the end of the season or whether I'm turning into Ted Lasso whenever I call in sick for work.

Telegraph is now reporting that our players think he'll leave this summer to go back to Italy.

The article alludes to a lack of control re transfers

Do many clubs give their managers control over the transfers?

Not anymore because they have coaches not managers generally. And given how short a managers tenure is, signing a bunch of ‘their’ players , manager leaves new manager in who decides the old managers players don’t fit etc

Can’t you just crack on now with covid? I guess the worry would be symptoms. Only those wanting to work from home do covid tests in the main

Legally yes you can. Not sure it would be a great plan to deliberately expose our entire squad to someone who has it though.

Sounds a bit Leedsy to me.

I’ve got Covid at the moment - there‘s no way I could have worked over the last thre days. It still can be very unpleasant.

having said that, the guidelines are a bit vague.

Yeh I was tongue in cheek - of course with vulnerable people you should still be safe, but so many at the mo seem to suddenly check so they can work from home when they want to (my personal experience the last few months)

I would prefer a few more people faked covid to work from home to all those "heroes" who bravely soldier in to work to spread their germs around.

Feckin twunts at work infected me last month so I had to miss the Palace and Grimsby games.

Not you obviously but the memory does still get me writing Internet essays which shows how angry I still am.

I doubt we will be guessing about Veltman playing ….I’d wager done for the season

Hopefully this news suggests he will ply again this season:

‘Joel Veltman was substituted against Wolves on Saturday after 65 minutes and is unlikely to be available to face United’

I had it and ended up in hospital last month. Am ok now clearly, but I still wouldn’t recommend spreading it about if you can avoid it.

 

[Weststander]

A lot of covid about at the moment. Can't have that spreading through the squad right now.

Would that be the harmless sub variant of Omicron? Covered on bbc tv this morning by a doctor, no concerns for the UK demographic at all. Only saying that if it makes over-75’s feel better wearing a mask, then do it.

The article alludes to a lack of control re transfers, the suggestion that Ali Mac and Moises are off, and interest from Inter.

Kids worrying that their parents might split up doesn’t mean they’re going to get a divorce.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Looking forward to tomorrow night…..bit weird having a game on a Thursday evening….something that hopefully will become a tad more regular next season

Incorrect. I am still being monitored, and had a box of tests sent to me in March. I’m not quite 75 yet, but also had a booster last week.
Not all vulnerable people are ancient. Many people are having medical treatment that leaves them vulnerable as well as the immune compromised.

I know you were joking but some consideration is needed.

That would be the ‘harmless sub variant of Omicron’ that I got going to the Palace game in March despite wearing a mask when in the inside concourse - 6 days in an isolation ward, on O2 with kidney and heart damage as well as it triggering gallbladder disease resulting in another 21 days in hospital. I have lasting effects including lung damage with severe breathlessness and it will be a struggle to walk up the concourse to the stands tomorrow. All that on top of the autoimmune disorders that made me vulnerable to start with because of immunosuppressant treatment.
( I’m nowhere near over 75 btw)

I don’t think people should mess around with it, we all know some very healthy people got extremely sick and not all PL footballers have even been vaccinated - don’t know whether that includes any at Brighton but it’s possible. Any of the squad or staff testing positive would socially distance imo - even cold/flu symptoms can undermine the performance of top athletes.

Sounds like you are describing the Guardian

13 long years. 13 long years. The NHS dying - does t sound like I’m describing the Guardian does it

I don’t think he slept last night.

He is so absolutely obsessed with beating Manure.

That sounds rough mate, all the best with your recovery.

Thread’s gone off on a Covid tangent - do we know whether he has actually got it?!
