In response to the Government’s new measures intending to stop the spread of the Omicron variant, the English Football League (EFL) has reportedly given new guidance to its clubs, consisting of all Championship, League One, and League Two professional football teams, advising that players should be segregated based on their vaccination status. The EFL has suggested this policy in order to prevent transmission and avoid the emergence of Covid outbreaks, which would have the potential of disrupting fixtures over the busy Christmas period. MailOnline has the story.
The 72 clubs across the Championship, League One and League Two are being instructed to think about how they split up their players when travelling to and from matches to try to reduce possible transmission, according to the Telegraph.
The report also claims that the EFL’s guidance is that goalkeepers within its divisions should not train together to lessen the chance of becoming a “close contact” should there be a positive Covid test and therefore reduce the likelihood of disruption.
The EFL have reportedly sent all of its members new guidance to consider until the end of next month in a bid to prevent matches being postponed over what is a typically jam-packed festive period. While the Premier League has also contacted all 20 top-flight clubs to re-impose their emergency Covid measures, and both football bodies strongly advise against Christmas parties this month.
EFL players have also been instructed to bear in mind contact “outside of their bubble”, social distancing while at work, including not all sitting down for meals at the same time.
The news comes after Tottenham’s Premier League clash against Brighton, scheduled for Sunday, was postponed due to the Covid outbreak within the camp. Spurs also saw Thursday’s European Conference League match against Rennes called off.
As Covid continues to take grip of English football, top-flight officials have sent a memo to all clubs informing them of the decision to revert back to emergency measures.
Teams have been forced to abide by a stringent set of protocols since the return of football in June 2020, including social distancing and the use of PPE at training grounds, but those have slowly relaxed in recent months thanks to increasing vaccination rates among players.
But the Premier League have told all 20 teams that the long-standing emergency measures are now back in place.

Sadly the number of young athletes being sidelined by vaxx adverse events like myocarditis might thin the teams down more than was expected. This age group has a 99.%+ chance of surviving covid. Why are they taking an experimental biologicals causing more damage in this age group than covid?
Football platers are supposed to be fit and healthy?
One word : Pathetic
So you can only get it when travelling in the team bus. That’s good to know.
Do they segregate the players who have collapsed, post jab, with heart attacks?
What a lot of bs! Divide and conquer once again.
The PFA should tell the EFL where to go, but won’t have the cahunas to do it.
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

Table shows the percentage of people (adults and children) with either no dose or no second dose of a Covid-19 injection in each of the four nations
30% of the population (adults and children) has either not received any dose or no second dose of a Covid-19 injection.
Almost 4.6 million people have received a first dose but have not yet received a second dose and almost 16 million have received no dose at all.
A total of 1,822 deaths now reported by the MHRA along with over 1.3 million injuries suffered by almost 400,000 people (an average of 3.3 injuries per person) following the experimental Covid-19 injections

Is it time to start stabbing people in the neck? Not condoning anything, just asking the way Jo Brand was asking when it came to acid.
I’m looking forward to vaxxed Arsenal vs vaxxed Chelsea at the vaxxed Emirates.
If you want to look out for your health, follow the advice from the EFL, Rod Stewart, Klopp, spandau ballet, david moyes or whoever. Rock solid science and health advice from top sources.……..
This has become a full-on testdemic now. There is no genuine evidence of any significant difficulties caused by this ‘variant’, and yet everyone is panicking beyond belief. How’s about we get the army to enforce normal life. Everyone is forced to get on with life unless they have, like in normal life, significant symptoms from some illness or another.
Cool, does that mean we can have parallel “vaccine free” football leagues?
It would be nice to watch 90 minutes of football without some of the players or crowd dropping dead.
They took the knee, from that point on they deserve everything they get
Don’t they just have to bend down on one knee and the virus goes away?
Well that’ll sort the well from vaxxed! See how that works out. Should be interesting…
It could be a whole new slant on football and betting on outcomes. Best have two teams, one shot full of poison and the other not, and let them get on with it. Forget the goal scores; the one that wins is that which has fewer players carted off after collapsing.
That’s for next season.
Footballers are notoriously dim!
The men in blazers who run football are even dimmer.
And?
Lancet Paper – COVID-19 Is Circulating In The Vaccinated Population
A medical paper in the Lancet, one of the world’s top medical journals, usually known for it’s pro-vaccine slant is stating very clearly that mass vaccination for COVID-19 has failed to stop transmission among the vaccinated.

Given that the latest figures show that a higher rate of jabbed are now dying than unjabbed, with Covid, that much is clear to all but the wilfully blind.
More Covid Derangement Syndrome
A breakaway “normal” football league?
What’s not to like?
It really is, ‘a game of two halves!’
…
Good, but instead of ‘cough’, I’d have used ‘coughin”.
Does my fear of what the jab will do to me if I have it, have the same value as those who fear what not having the jab will do to them, especially as the manufacturers have been given the requested non liability
Matches will be played on two pitches, one for vaxed one for unvaxed. Results will be aggregated from the two. Sounds simple enough…
Slowly for those at the back: It. Does. Not. Stop. Transmission.

Great optics here, given that it’s highly likely that the vast majority of those players not vaccinated against COVID will be black, Muslim or Eastern Europeans becaue of ethical violations they or their families knew about regarding ‘Western’ Big Pharma and/or authoritarian regimes and ‘vaccines’ and ‘medical trials’ in the past.
That does seem to the sum of it.
It’s getting harder by the day to write decent jokes when the normals are coming up with hilarity like this.
This is a good plan if:
• You want to stop friends meeting up, filming heart attacks and sharing the clips.
• MSM broadcasters to an extent, can control most of the video and still footage.
• Further hammer down the public’s morale.
• The public will not be able to afford travel/tickets anyhow with high inflation (heating, food bills).
I expect mass riots in cities from late January early February. Stay away from cities, stock up and make a point of knowing a local butcher.
“…make a point of knowing a local butcher.”
O at least a couple of burly hard men to stare down the Covid marshals.
