Apparently Jeff Stelling was moaning today after we equalised... because of our players having a pile on and therefore not social distancing.

Maybe they could do some important work like sit in a studio with a load of other people and watch football?

While I can appreciate that emotions take over when you have come back from 3 down, I actually agree with him. In the current climate, it should be stressed to players that celebrations like that are not needed.

Given the guidance issued by the EFL and the fact we had just been hit as a team, I thought he had a point. He didn't make a meal of it - just said that it was something none of us want to see right now. I agree as much as I was delighted with the equaliser

But its ok to run around grappling/kicking each other and holding eachother at corners and set pieces?

Well that’s the argument now around whether games will carry on should infections rise. Minimising risk has always been the aim at whatever stage things are at. Right now if it’s deemed ok to play games, contact during play is unavoidable, jumping all over each other like they did after the third goal is.

It’s certainly a lot less safe now, like many work places which have either been closed or seen further tightening of restrictions. Would not be surprised for a pause to come at some stage, much as we may see other sectors affected which will lead to others being unable to work like last March. Fingers crossed it doesn’t come to that.

Stelling and co are contractually obliged, I think, to find something to get over-excited, indignant or appalled by. Today it's us.

Its no less safe now,nothings changed its clearly never been safe, it was just as "safe" months back when clubs all paid a small fortune for these "covid safe" measures to be implemented.

The risk of transmission is much higher and players/staff should always have been following strict protocols, which admittedly as seen today have been overlooked at times - as they are by many. The risk level has increased illustrated by the increase in positive tests and games being called off illustrates.

"Players should always have been following strict protocols" jesus I think Kyle Walkers been caught at more lockdown parties than he's appeared for City in these last few months...

There was never a single ounce of doubt that the virus would rip through football, its impossible for it not to do, again a ridiculous idea to even start the season.

Most games are played out like a knock about and when you're faced with scenarios like Derbys game today and Villas last night its an absolute farce its even continuing.

No not really but that's the game. But when the country is trying to get people to behave and somebody dies every 72 seconds right now, we can do without it. That's all. If somebody that can wants to suspend the season is looking for proof they can easily find it when that happens

Which is why I mentioned that there are indeed valid arguments for a pause now. As with any other industry/sector, what was deemed ok to continue in the last six months, may not be now. Which is why schools have now been impacted. Sure there will be people on here who have also been impacted at work or may be in the future as their ability to carry out their normal roles is affected.

The decision makers of the game, like everywhere else, have some real choices to make. However if they hadn’t started the season, should other people have returned to factories/offices/working in construction in a team etc? It’s all back to minimising risk, yes contact sports are obviously carrying a higher risk but then again so is sharing a work’s van. There were some hard decisions to make, and there still will be. We won’t all agree on them all but if football hadn’t started the season clubs would have gone to the wall and people would have been out of work - again, like other sectors.

The virus appears to moving through most areas now, one advantage football actually has is that they are now tested twice a week. The stupid thing is that should always have been happening to reduce that aforementioned risk further.

Absolutely those places should all have returned to work,its a necessity most employees are saddled with mortgages they can just cover, most the jobs you mentioned also won't have anywhere near the money overflowing either football had and still has,there's ample money within the sport to comfortably look after everyone and still plenty to spare.

You cant sensibly minimise a risk where people are constantly touching and sweating all over each other, its impossible to keep any distance, that will always be a constant.

Unfortunately as we’ve seen with the £375k payout Dale got, football isn’t very good at redistributing its money. And much as small businesses may go bust in some sectors whilst larger ones survive, the smaller clubs will have been grateful for the chance to get going again when it was deemed safe. And that’s exactly what happened as players and possibly more pertinently, other club staff have the same mortgages and bills to pay.

They did sensibly minimise the risk as there were very few issues in the sport initially. Now there are and so, like other sectors, a decision may need to be made. Would totally understand if it was paused now, other may disagree. Much as some would disagree if the lockdown went further and their own jobs were affected.

That's remember these players were tested twice this week and came back negative. Lets all shake hands and politely nod at a goal. I was glad they celebrated and showed some passion. They are wrestling and grappling one another at corners etc.

The season won't be suspended - regular testing - Euros and Olympics - tight schedule and pressure from FIFA/UEFA

Games will get played. Football won't be suspended. I'd imagine all players/cocahes etc at the Euros and competitors at the Olympics will all be vaccinated

And of course the recent closure of schools has illustrated how that close contact in certain environments is deemed as having an impact.

It appears that many more children are in school at present than there were last March as some jobs are now able to continue thus changing the ‘key worker’ status. How would people react if a further change was made so that they key workers were only those listed last year if further restrictions are required? That’s the point I’m trying to make; rightly or wrongly they decide on a job/sector/industry and deem it safe to continue. Football is one of those up for discussion.

They've not changed how they've dealt with the risk.

With such close contact essential whilst playing football the massive increase in infections was always inevitable regardless of the rate away from the sport.

But the two can't be disconnected: the rate amongst footballers and the rate amongst the general population

Without doing any further research but based on the broad outline of figures available in the news, i'd expect the rate among footballers to not have risen significantly more than the rate among the general population

They are testing more. And yes there’s a greater risk with contact, that’s why decisions are made at different times whether that risk can be managed. Which is why, as I’ve said a few times, they made need to pause the season now. Much as they may need to change the current lockdown and restrict other jobs more.

The season won't be paused. I think it might have been but the Euros mean that the top two divisions at least won't be. Professional sport outdoors is happening all throughout the world, I don't think football has been paused anywhere in Europe. The testing regime is aimed to keep the season going, whether morally it's right or wrong is up to individuals judgement but I can't see it stopping.

Lets face it did anyone really expect the country to be anywhere else going in 2021. It didn't take a lot of predicting that the virus would be out of control.
