This afternoon.
Via Irish Examiner:
“A number of players have had vaccines,” Kenny said in Dublin on Thursday afternoon. “Some haven’t, some have had one. In England the AstraZeneca has a long period between the first and second doses. Some players have been caught after the first one and some players decided not to get it.”
“We’d want everyone vaccinated, but players are men as individuals. They have the right to make their own decisions and you have to respect that. In an ideal world we’d prefer to have everyone vaccinated but we have to respect the individual wishes.”
Republic of Ireland manager Stepehen Kenny.
In fairness, people over the age of 15 who play sports are not the cleverest.
You’re joking right?
…and you are Tara?
have been caught?
I’d say he means “caught between” as in awaiting part ii
however this is only part of a much larger ongoing “dirty secret” in the top tier of football and professional sport across Europe
strangely (lol) receiving relatively little publicity
I think he means they were sick after the 1st dose
Thing is, for professional sports people, what we mortals would consider a minor side effect could derail their careers for months, if not permanently. They are super healthy so very little risk becoming sick from CoVid-19- post vaccine however, appears to be a bit of a lottery.
A ‘it could be you’ finger pointing moment- but not in a good way.
Dump em, give players who aren’t selfish scumbags a chance in their place.
