Premiership Fixtures cancelled.

Covid cases are increasing in the UK and football seems more affected than most. A large number of players have not been vaccinated. As far as I know, this is not happening in other countries.

Oh no! How will the ball players cope?

@Thodsis LOL. I am more annoyed that so many of the players haven't had vaccines. Its thought that between a quarter and a third of pro=players are not vaccinated at all, which is why this is happening.

@Burnley123 Players of ball games aren't traditionally known for being very 'on the ball'.

@Thodsis They are definitely not the smartest. They are also young and rich, which doesn't help with responsibility.

The worst example was Jack Grealish. This guy is an England international and a top-level player. When the pandemic first broke he did an online video encouraging everyone to obey lockdown rules. This video was sincere sounding, somber in tone and taking the moral high ground, etc. Do the right thing kids.

That very night, he went to a party at one of his friend's houses, got drunk and crashed his sports car on the way home.

Yeah, not the brightest. 🤣
