Mount and Chilwell embraced and spoke to Gilmour following England's Euro 2020 draw with Scotland at Wembley on Friday, with their Chelsea team-mate returning a positive test on Monday.


they spoke to a club team mate ffs after the match - just like many other teammates have spoken to each other through the competition, and no different to the close marking they have during the game

Yet pampered and being sent home ??‍

Incase you didn't notice Phil there is a pandemic going on

Right now their club bubbles are finished. They have had to form international bubbles .. with the idea of making the tournament safer and reducing the risk of outbreak

What message does it send to young fans seeing them embrace? Oh it's fine. Their team mates isn't it lovely

Same as Xmas when the players were spotted at parties together.

If they test positive now how many of our squad have to go? Just because of their stupid behaviour

Foden and greenwood broke covid rules on England duty and were sent home.

Doesn't matter the level of the break players need to set an example.

What difference is there between 20 players huddled in the box with many of them on top of each during a corner , or someone closing marking each other for 90 mins , grabbing them , pulling their shirt , seen players from opponents hugging each other at the end of the match - so why does it make a difference 5 mins later in the tunnel ?

The players spend 90 mins getting closer to each then they ever normally would , players are going to catch it regardless

Or does the contact on the pitch not pass Covid ?

Excellent from Holland - from a team written off by a number before the start they are impressing , DeBoer done a great job and Depay looks a far better player than what was seen at Man Utd - also great see Gini doing so well

 

[BiMGuy]

Trippier is excellent at set pieces.

As is Philips

The risk assessments were done by people way way above your pay grade. I'm sorry they didn't consult your opinion

Loads of changes for Belgium but still a strong team - didn’t realise Vermualen was still playing , interesting to see if Hazard will start to find some form.

Really interesting from the players about Martinez and the last World Cup along with his tactics and changes

Not criticising just interested. How can 2 England players have more contact with Gilmour than anyone in the Scotland squad.

 

[ColchesterFC]

Why do Mount and Chilwell have to isolate as contacts of Gilmour but none of the Scottish players are having to isolate? I'm sure at least a few of them hugged him at full time and were a lot closer that the two England players.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Apparently City bid £100m for Kane.

Well we has spent the entire season dropping deep to show pep he play how he wants

 

[pokerjoke]

Haha a cheeky bid based on his crap Euro form.
£150m when he starts scoring again

This was the interaction with Gilmour



I believe the Scotland players won’t need to self isolate because they are in the same bubble ?‍

As per guidelines close contact is any period of time at a distance of less than one metre.

So yes giving a hug was moronic.

 

[Old Skier]

Organisers of the comp playing a blinder. If UK don’t relax their quarantine rules they will loose the semi’s and final at Wembley. Holland refuses to allow Welsh supporters into the country and no sanctions.

How does someone mark a player at a set piece if they can’t be within 1 metre ?‍

Is that why the England players couldn’t get close to any Scotland player then - or does the virus stop transmitting for 90mins whilst the players play football ?

 

[Orikoru]

As I said earlier - just because someone wears an armband doesn’t make them a leader , Kane , Rice etc maybe captains but they don’t appear to be leaders

Henderson has shown many times over the past couple of years how much of a leader he is on the pitch and as you say off the pitch.

Christ, you must have spent a lot of time in a lot of Premier League dressing rooms, how do they keep letting you in?

I know you think your clever Phil but the more you type the more you lose all credibility.

Guidelines are.

Public Health England (PHE) guidance states that someone could be considered a close contact and might have to self-isolate if they had a face-to-face conversation within one metre or had been within two metres of someone for more than 15 minutes who tested positive for Covid-19.

So marking someone on a pitch very much different

Yet I know Phil knows a darn sight more than experts

Stick to hockey . Clown

Once again you resort to throwing insults at someone who challenges an opinion

Why is marking someone on a pitch different ?

The players spend 90mins constantly in each other’s faces , grabbing each other , pulling shirts , lifting people up from the ground - yet a 2/3 min conversation with the player at full time is moronic ?‍

You do understand what “appears” means ?

Do you class Kane as a leader ?

Can you give some examples of where his leadership has shown through over the last couple of years ?
