And we’re of C O Y Y

That's a fair question. I don't know but flu doesn't usually have the impact that covids had/having on everything.

I’ve known players to miss games due to having the flu though.

What happens if a player goes on jetski / plays tennis / goes ice skating and gets injured and misses games? Genuine question, do they get fined? Obviously some things are purely unforeseen accidents but you could argue that professional sportsmen shouldn’t be putting themselves at risk of injury through some things.

Training must have been interesting!

Bit disappointed some of our players aren't vaccinated. But there's a football match to be played and 3 points to win. COYY

its different, there is a Covid pandemic not a flu one, and a national campaign to get everyone vaccinated. They shouldn’t be doing jet skiing or anything else dangerous either

Being vaccinated, wearing a mask in enclosed spaces... It's not about protecting ourselves, it's about caring for, and protecting others. It's about demonstrating a team ethos.

Young, professional footballers have a very low chance of becoming seriously ill as a result of catching Covid. But, they should all be vaccinated to protect the vulnerable in our society.

It's disappointing that some have chosen not to protect the vulnerable members of our community.

I believe that Stevie K discussed this on Tuesday. I'm sure he said something about extreme sports being banned in player contracts. Might be wwrong, that was 4 days ago and my memory lasts a few hours most days...

Where can you go jet skiing in Oxford

Unless there Is a medical reason, not getting vaccinated doesn't seem very team spirited.

I think James Bond jumps off Donnington Bridge onto a jetski in the new film

It’s not different in this context if a player misses a game by having flu, after a vaccine was available but not taken up - it would be unfair to not fine them, but fine someone in this scenario with Covid.

However, the government don't target 20 - 30 year olds to get the flu jab do they?
