Surely there will be other players who will need to be isolated as well. That's what I thought - but according to the BBC report (and others I've read): Quote The Scottish FA currently say there are no close contacts identified from inside the camp. I can't quite see how that can be - they're eating, training, changing, showering and travelling together the whole time. Surely some of them have been in close contact with him? Don't players usually have room mates when they're at a tournament? What about his room mate? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we could win the group with 7 points yet which would be a clear win and not lucky. Good to know we've qualified before out final game though, eases the pressure. Now they should go out and perform and produce their first decent performance this tournament. Croatia win was over-hyped, they aren't the force they were.

Bangkokhatter Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 No luck at all in qualifying from the group, it was obvious with four best third place teams qualifying that four points would be enough. However it does just paper over the cracks, England under Southgate are negative in general and he sets his team up not to lose. Shame really as we do have some good players, played some good stuff for twenty minutes in the first half against Croatia. Alas, hope springs eternal and no doubt i will be up at 2 Am tomorrow morning hoping for better but knowing deep down it will be just another frustrating performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The team that finishes in first will play one of France, Germany, Portugal or Hungary, while the team that finishes second will play the runners-up from Group E, being Sweden, Slovakia, Spain or Poland.

Maybe if we had a manager who wasn’t an ex defender he may have a different mindset. We can look forward to the likes of Maguire and Henderson playing tonight. He has already said Kane will start. Can’t wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for England as it gives yet another London centric England manager less Chelsea nancy boys to choose from and forces him to give their places to much more deserving and capable players from Northern clubs.

Their little love in session at the end of the game makes them a higher risk then all of his team mates with him day in day out. Schools are sending classes home to isolate if one pupil is tested positive. Makes a mockery of the whole system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clear breach of Covid protocol. True, but according to everything I've read it usually takes more than one, relatively short exposure to a person with CoViD-19 to get infected, especially if that person is asymptomatic. People with constant, repeated contact (such as his teammates) would seem to have a much better chance of being infected, as far as I can tell. Having said that, and as much as it makes sense for Chilwell and Mount to self-isolate due to their highly-visible close contact with him, it would surely make sense that at least some of the Scotland players should be isolating as well.

Kadilo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Covid aside <deleted> was Mount doing at the end of the game. A kid making his debut made you look a d.ick during the game and got MOTM and you want to give him an extended cuddle cos he’s your team mate at your club. No wonder our attitude as a team was sh.ite. Roy Keane just about summed it up. Edited June 22, 2021 by Kadilo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
