There have been walk in vaccination centres in Grimsby for quite some time now. My teenage children got their second jabs two months ago. No excuse for the players not to have 2 doses by now.


And you need to have 8 weeks between jabs, so either your daughters jumped the queue for the first jab or you’re telling fibs

We were always ahead of the curve in NEL because the average age is higher than the national average. Not by eight weeks though.

Or they work for the NHS. I had my second jab mid-May and I'm 31.

To be fair, we had ours within a couple of weeks of the start of the spring term…the local authority were desperate to get all special schools opened so pushed through and got special school staff the chance to have one. The staff at work that had theirs were all done by first weekend in May…

I know locally plenty of people that turned up for vaccines and the centres were empty…I do appreciate there’s various reasons for this but says a lot.

There were plenty of ways of getting the vaccine earlier if you wanted to I guess.

This debate will rumble on and I suspect the football managers and clubs will now become the next folk in the promotion of the vaccine…

I don’t doubt there could be a reason but then it’s a poor point because footballers don’t work for the NHS or have any other reason for an early jab

You accused someone of telling fibs. I offered a valid reason why they might be telling the truth.

I also said ‘unless they’ve jumped the queue’ jumping the queue would include what you’ve said, some people have every right to jump it.

70% of people in ICU in Northern Ireland haven't had the vaccine.  Cancer / Transplant patiants can not have life saving operations because there are not enough ICU beds available.  I'm ptetty sure this will be the case around the whole UK.  IMO anybody not getting the vaccine is just pure selfish, even if they are young fit footballers.  

I'm in my 40's and physically fit, running 4 times a week.  I got covid a month ago, knocked me off my feet for a few days.  So glad I'd been double jabbed, dread to think how I would have felt without it

We have 25 staff in our company (a computer software company) who are in their twenties, all but 3 are double jabbed, and those 3 are due second jabs within the next two weeks.

Quoted from TuckerJenkins
Speaks volumes about the iq of players if they are not getting vacinnated


No
I'm pro vax and got both mine ages ago but I'm also more for freedom of choice, if they don't want to vax it's up to them (although I think they should) nothing to do with 'iq'


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
