Dyche does not have a valid argument. It's effectively buying your place further up the list.

What's the difference between football donating the money they've been spending on tests to the NHS to get vaccinated more quickly and say Mike Ashley offering to make a donation if he can go next?
I see your point but it's not that simple. Mike Ashley does not have to closely interact with other people to do his job. Nor are the general populace interested in watching him work.
I agree mate, technically they are key workers as they are being asked to work through this pandemic, if they are willing to pay (the clubs, FA etc) and it will be administered by club doctors then I don't see a problem, though they should be still told to rigidly stick to the rules and a set of punishments should be set out for those breaking the rules. That said our lass is a nurse and eventually got in touch with those administrating it to NHS workers and they have ran out, they and going to text her when fresh supplies are made available, so it isn't as freely available as the government would have you believe...
I don't think the government have ever claimed it is 'freely available'. In fact they have said the opposite, it is lack of supplies that is keeping the vaccination rate down.

If it was freely available they would be getting slaughtered by the media, and rightly so.

Vaccination needs to be done on medical or expected risk (age etc) grounds and also those dealing with the most vulnerable.

Football isn't a special case.

Football is important but you could make the case for performers, especially actors who haven't been able to make tv in the same way.

I mean, you could make the case for barstaff so pubs can reopen for a lot of the same reasons tbh

Didn't realise bar staff could not socially distance and were also getting tested twice a week, and that they could give that money to charity instead. 😅

Not the same at all!
 
There are certain footballers who have not covered themselves in glory during the pandemic that I'd gladly vaccinate myself.

Oh yes, (insert said player's name), that's definitely where we have to put the needle, in your bellend, it says so on the instructions.
:lol:

It’s almost like you make the case for the whole of society to get it

They cant socially distance if the pubs are open, they dont get tested hut they shouod be and wealth shouldnt get you medical treatment
 
Surely as some of the fittest people in the country, they should be near to the bottom of the list to need it. Give it to the fatties first
Would like to see the numbers for how many positively tested players have actually shown any symptoms. I bet the large majority of them have only been picked up through random testing as opposed to illness.

No way of knowing but I wouldn't be surprised if the rich and powerful have had their sleeves rolled up already regardless of age and health criteria....

If they can't socially distance in a pub they are not covid safe and shouldn't be open.

In any case I'm only playing devils advocate, empathy and at least seeing someone else's point of view (even if you disagree with it) is something this board really lacks.

Bar staff getting vaccinated and the reasoning of Sean Dyche are not the same thing

If footballers cant social distance the games arent safe and shouldnt be played.

The reasoning behind why it would help the public to vaccinate footballers applies to vaccinating anyone that would help the pubkic relax. Publicans, actors, et al

If they stopped f***ing about on a night there might me none young Samuel
 
Anyone who thinks that footballers will be "waiting in line" like the general public for a vaccine are kidding themselves. Ill bet most elite level footballers will get it before the average person. Money talks unfortunately
 
If they paid for the vaccinations, I don't see why not. Haven't they already donated millions though?

They're being made to go into work in close proximity to others and travel all over the country doing this. Many footballers won't have any health conditions and won't be vulnerable, but some footballers may have family that are vulnerable and by going into work every day they're instantly putting that family at risk.

They’d be putting the family at risk even if they’d had the vaccine, it doesn’t stop you contracting and spreading it.
 
I disagree with him in as much as the importance of football.
In my opinion its Joe public who should get vaccine first the so a proper normality can be achieved earlier and pubs and restaurants gigs hotels are open and holidays are allowed .
I guess if this was offered to people or the ability to watch a match I reckon most would choose pubs etc.
