Wolves v West Brom game on now and players heads all very close together after the goals.
Is this something that can be controlled ? Will the players be fined as a result? |  | | |  |

I don't know what to think about this policy. On the one hand they have been told not to do it so it should be met with a yellow card. On the other hand if they are at risk of catching Covid on the park they should not be playing in the first place. [Post edited 16 Jan 2021 13:35]

Exactly, i just don’t get it. They are all tested twice a week, if they weren’t very sure they didn’t have Covid they wouldn’t be allowed to play so there is absolutely no need for social distancing ... |  |

Wolves started the game with a huddle... |  |

I think its more about 'setting a good example'. Seems silly to me though. |  |

If they're all going to be fined, it'll be quite lucrative for FA presumably | | | |

but ok you saw how Wolves setup for corners though ? that everyone stands up really close to one defender and then breaks when the ball comes in as you cant then react intime to mark them all. but it involved half the team virtually if not actually hugging each other to do it.
how is that any different to the physical contact of a goal celebration ? | | | |

I don't disagree with you, football is definitely a 'contact' sport in that regard.
Just wondering how if can possibly be policed? | | | |

There is a lot of unintended spit flying around the 6 yard box during a free kick or corner. A striker winded by a big centre-back for instance. I would think it is here where players are most vulnerable. | | | |

It rubbish. They’re just as close during set pieces around the box. I’ve even seen the occasional huddle before a kick of!
As you say, if inherent parts of the game mean they’re not Covid secure they shouldn’t be playing at all. |  |
