What's a disgrace? That people have become ill in the middle of a pandemic, it doesn't say the Newcastle staff were out partying a la Rita Ora. It seems a sensible precaution in a crazy world.

I am glad it is now and hopefully they will get the all clear before coming to ER.

What's more of a disgrace is West Ham's coach having to apologise for calling Grealish a diver and cheat. Apologising for stating facts ffs

Not sure how this constitutes a disgrace, seems sensible to me. If they let the game go ahead, Villa catch the virus and then pass it on to the next team and so on - eventually they would be shutting the season down again - or we could postpone 1 prem game

I think Kamara means that it is a disgrace, given the bubbles supposedly in place, that C19 was able to catch hold at a Prem League team.

I think what he misunderstands is that players have partners, parents, kids, siblings etc that may live with them. Any one person in a family unit could catch the virus, be asymptomatic and easily pass it on (like any family environment).

And then it could easily be passed on in the gym or door handles or footballs (touching surfaces etc) or just through breathing on each other in training.

Even if it is proven that this was caused by a player or staff member reaching protocols, it is difficult to assign blame towards the club, unless proven the club setup is breaching protocols.

He probably needs to be clearer in what he is saying. Like you said though, there are loads of ways they could have caught it. Salah got it from wedding - why not call him a disgrace?

This.
Grealish takes diving to a new Prem level.
Fantastic player but what a cooont.

Kamara getting worked up about nothing again

plain and simple, people need to be more responsible of their elevated stature. humans are humans but need to respect others no matter what

lst, are you saying i misunderstand life?

i looked at that quickly and thought it said 19 cases of covid between them.

The Premier league get some every week, I wonder while names are not being named, how many come from one club!..

Its not only Newcastle's problem, its a World wide thing, and football has the same right as any to get it!..

like i said, a feckin disgrace

It was clearly the right decision although it does us no good at all.

A couple of you Leeds boys just need to concentrate on your own team and not bother about others
