However if it is him, he at least offers something aerially that Rooney doesn’t. Will definitely put himself about more. We need to accept that Rooney has been atrocious in whatever position he’s played since the season resumption last season. He was phenomenal prior but has been our worst player comfortably since.

Friend of my son came into contact with someone who was infected; she was tested and negative but developed mild symptoms several days later and then got a positive test.... Yeah I guess, still 14 days feels a little excessive. Surely a second test a few days later would suffice so it only ends up being a week off.

He should still be paid as this was through no fault of his own but for a clear breach of Covid Rules, does the club sue Josh Bardsley? I think that sometimes this sort of thing will be inevtible, but as with anything if there has been clear negligence (which there has) then yes the club should sue the party at fault. They wont though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day - Derby are out of pocket full some other fool's actions. At the very worst, Rooney should (but I imagine won't) make a police complaint about an individual breaking the law.

DRBee Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Don't see that Rooney can avoid some responsibility himself. Are footballers not under some agreement to keep themselves free of covid for the sake of fellow players? Since he couldn't know all about any of his friends circumstances and the facts of asymptomatic transmission then some restriction of his social contacts would be expected. Still it gives the blind-faithers another 3 matches with excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree on him being our worst player. I agree he looked out of it the tail end of last season and the first couple games of this season but he has looked good the last 3 games and without him we would be on 0 points this season.

I’d argue we would have played a lot better without him in the team, and therefore may have the same, if not more, points. Pretty hard to defend for 90 mins without a willing outlet.

Cheshire East Tier 2 (high alert) category for England. You must not meet people you don't live with in any indoor setting - whether at home or, for example, a pub or restaurant - unless they are part of your support or childcare bubble.

Unfortunately -ve swab tests aren't the most reliable, it relies on the technique of the person conducting the test on the patient, and the viral load of the patient at the time. The DHSC are conducting analysis on testers and types of testing kits and locations to determine best practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
