Billy Gilmour Tests Positive

Quoted from GollyGTFC

So apparently Mount & Chilwell spent 25 minutes chatting in the tunnel with Gilmour at Wembley and that’s why they need to isolate as it’s over the magic 15 minute close contact.

What a pair of idiots. Southgate should send the pair of them home. They must know the rules after over a year.

Have a heart. They were just congratulating a young Chelsea teammate on an outstanding game and having a chat when the adrenalin would still be pumping. They are not robots, although to be fair they do play like that sometimes. If England were so concerned about the "rules" you would think an official would have intervened after 14 mins 59 seconds.

All of the Scotland squad will have had 15 minutes or more of close contact with Billy Gilmour that is for sure, but only the England players are being penalised.

I’m sure they do, but on the other side of the coin they were three young mates just having a chat. They’ll also have had a false sense of security, given the extensive testing that football players are subjected to, that none of them had Covid.

I’m not suggesting they should go without criticism, but at the same time what they were doing was entirely natural, probably spontaneous and both players are now suffering the direct consequences without having to go above and beyond to punish them.

They serve as a practical reminder of why these Covid protocols exist without having to take any further action, in my opinion.

I take it the FA will be fining themselves for breaching COVID protocols?

Didn’t our charge sheet include ‘allowing players to congregate in communal areas’?

So what about all the scottish players shared meetings dressing room dined together then all their coaching staff been in close contact , absolute shocking makes a mockery of this government , scenes at ascot then at stonehenge sum this corrupt lot up , sooner johnson & hancock in handcuffs the better

The FA take their instructions from UEFA. Make it up as you go along.
