Football legend John Giles
Last night.
On Off The Ball:
“A lot of players are not being vaccinated, which I don’t agree with.
“I think they should be vaccinated, he (Republic of Ireland forward Callum Robinson) has had it twice himself who knows where he spread it to when he did have it.
“I think footballers are being given a lot of freedom in this particular situation. I think they’ve been privileged in some of the things that they can do because they’re footballers.
“I read the other day that some of the journalists weren’t allowed in (to the Ireland press conference) because they weren’t vaccinated.
“I can’t understand it and I think in this case I think they’ve (footballers) been too privileged.
“They’ve created an awful lot of rules so that they can go on trips and continue to play and do various things that I don’t think people on the other end of it are being taken into consideration.
‘”think it’s wrong, I think professional footballers are privileged, but when it comes to this they’ve been very loose in allowing certain things to happen.”
