Newcastle Football Fans Told To Re-Consider Going to Sunday’s Match

by Luke Perry
22 December 2021 2:00 PM

Newcastle’s Director of Public Health, Professor Eugene Milne, has called on Newcastle fans to seriously consider whether they should attend the St. James Park fixture with Manchester United on December 27th, due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant. Milne has expressed his concern over the lack of social distancing and mask wearing inside sports stadiums, and urged fans to get tested and receive the booster jab before attending the game. BBC News has more.

The fixture against Manchester United is still due to take place, despite six matches being postponed last weekend.

Professor Milne also said he expected the Government to bring in additional restrictions soon.

Omicron is now the dominant form of the virus in most parts of England and there are likely to be more than 3,000 cases in the North East, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.

“Will we end up with more measures? I think because there are still many things we don’t know about Omicron there is a bit of doubt about where we need to go,” Milne said.

“If you ask me, honestly, I think it will probably happen with the way things are going.

“The question is when is the right time to do that and that is a question for the politicians, rather than people like me.”

The Magpies are yet to have any of their matches called off because of the current wave of infections and are due to host Manchester United on Monday.

Milne added: “People need to make a choice about whether they are vulnerable, about whether they are likely to expose other people to risk by going.

“The Premier League has done a lot of work to try and get in place vaccine passports and testing checks for the games.

“One of the things that does trouble me is people travelling to and from games and the difficulties of distancing, mask wearing and so on.

“I would make a plea to people to use those measures because they can reduce the potential for risk.”

Worth reading in full.

I hate football having been forced to play the infernal game as a youngster and hated passionately each and every nanosecond but like you if I lived nearer I would be strongly tempted to attend PROVIDED there was NO NEED to display these accursed and Satanic ‘Vaccine Passports’.

Leeds fan here. I will be going to all games just as I went to the celebrations outside the ground when we got promoted even though we were warned not to (oh and what happened to the thousands of infections we were warned would happen afterwards??). People like this can shove their advice up their arse. Wankers!

I’m still pissed off about them cancelling the midweek Leeds vs Fulham match due to the start of Lockdowns back in 2020 !!! Not watched a Leeds game since before then sadly. I almost renewed my membership for this season but the Covid T&C’s put me off due to me having an extraordinarily large gob and issues with those in ‘authority’ lol.

I saw videos of chants at ER for our beloved fat controller last weekend. It did make me smile !

The concept of “state” needs to be revised. Google (which owns Youtube) and Facebook (which owns Whatsapp and Instagram) are part of the state.

The squelching method to which you refer is called entrainment. Everyone who has studied behavioural psychology will recognise it. People post stuff (which may be information or may be chat in a chat room) to take part in what seems like a community of some kind. If they get no response whatsoever, they often change their behaviour. That is what “shadow banning” is about. To put it in even fewer words: a behaviour for which there is no reward will get “extinguished”. That’s how the scum who run Facebook etc. think. That is literally how they think – reinforcing desired behaviours, extinguishing unwanted ones.

Well I only used YT (never liked FB anyway) but now I spend more time on the alternatives. Hopefully their service will improve as not a touch on YT quality wise. You have to put up with wading through some crazy and some hateful stuff but that’s a price of free speech I am willing to pay.

So the effect of their psychology has been to make me seek alternatives.

In the U.S. the NFL changed the testing protocols. League mandates only required the vaccinated to be tested once a week while the unvaccinated (only about 4 percent of league athletes) had to be tested daily. Now with a spike in cases, they are testing everyone much more often. However, I have just read they are now reconsidering this (obviously more testing = many more “positives.”). They have also changed the protocols to allow those who test positive and are asymptomatic (most of those who get a positive test) to more quickly come back and play.

For some reason, they still make the unvaccinated positives quarantine for 10 to 14 days. This is brazen discrimination but nobody cares.

… BTW, more teams and leagues are now getting athletes their “booster” jabs. Remember this if and when we start seeing even more athletes collapsing from vaccine effects in coming days and weeks.

Tragic isn’t it that someone who is a Professor of Public Health is incapable of seeing beyond the idea of a risk from an illness that increasingly looks very mild and is probably in actual fact just another cold. He completely fails to comprehend the public health value of going to football or any other sport for that matter, the cameraderie, enjoyment, excitement (hopefully), all things that lift the spirits and make us feel happy and improve our wellbeing generally.

While he has been promoted “up to the level of his incompetence”, the same as anyone else in an official or administrative position, he is not saying what he’s saying as a result of “incompetence”. Quite the contrary.

But I don’t believe he is “under pressure” either. He loves it. It’s made his day.

Similarly there are many officials in local councils who will absolutely love being in charge of things like signing off barbed wire contracts with G4S for the local internment camps, and contracts for accelerants for mass pyres. They will be in seventh heaven.

It would probably be a good idea if the owners were to have a general issue of black and white keffiyehs to the Newcastle fans attending. Club loyalty would be displayed, these can also be worn, desert-style, as “face coverings”, thus assisting hygiene, and would also eliminate the need for tea-towels or dishcloths as headgear .

A sign of the times that somebody who espouses such absolute drivel could be a director of Public Health. Shutting sports stadiums is a psy-op and was not part of any previous pandemic plan. People are not going to catch a virus outside, unless they get very intimate, perhaps that is next on the killjoys hit-list.

Good luck to those who try and impose any medical pass system on the travelling Red Army.

Well this is a bit of a pickle. Go to the matches and comp[y with their evil testing/”vaccination” nonsense, or don’t go, and comply with their evil panicker “hide under your beds” nonsense.

Could look at it the other way round, though, of course. Go to the matches and defy their evil panicker “hide under your beds” nonsense, or don’t go, and defy their evil testing/”vaccination” nonsense.

Good job I decided years ago that I was no longer interested in their politicised, professionalised, marketing-driven “sport” nonsense.

More theatre.

Prepare to be locked-down again next week.

Combined with the articles in today’s news demanding the unjabbed be jabbed……

…….we will all be locked-down, and left to dangle, and the press has started to say that the lock-down is all the fault of the unjabbed.

In the immediate short-term, they want to ‘encourage’ everyone to get jabbed. In the medium-term they are sowing the seeds to create a public mood that the government manipulates and proclaims is creating the justification and indeed the necessity to repeal the laws that forbid mandatory jabs.

This is getting nasty.

Once the law is changed – ‘by public demand’ – we’re all stuffed. They will be able to demand that everyone be jabbed.

The jabbed had better be aware that even if they have accepted two, or even three jabs, and have decided thus far and no more – abolishing mandatory jab laws will come back to bite them on the backside too.

Excellent question. It’s a network of media operatives with posts at “regional news organisations” that are funded by the BBC, i.e. central government.

https://www.bbc.com/lnp/ldrs

The system seems to have been set up in July 2021 to run for three years.

The list of organisations is here.

It also operates (hopefully this won’t surprise many readers) on “social media”, where the rule is that

“Posts should be via LDRs’ personal accounts rather than contractors’ branded accounts.”

From that, one can assume there is cooperation with the 77th Brigade.

I’m a freelance journalist. A while back I asked the college sports leagues in America (the SEC, ACC, Big 10, etc) for hard data on the number of “asymptomatic” cases among those who had tested positive. I also asked how many college athletes in these conferences had died or been hospitalized from COVID-19.

Only two spokesman replied to my queries, saying that these leagues either did not have this information or could not disclose it. I thought these non-answers were quite revealing.

I also asked about outbreaks among fans at sporting events and got the only answer to my many questions.

The media spokesman for the SEC told me (via email) that there had been no incidences of “super spreader” events at any of the SEC sporting events that took place last year.

Presumably, this is why the league went forward with full attendance at sporting events this year (last year, they limited attendance to about 20 percent of stadium capacities).

Anecdotally, I have yet to read ONE media report of a big outbreak that was definitively traced to fan attendance at a sporting event. I focussed on colleges with my inquiries, but I note that high schools also played sports last year in front of many fans. In fact, there are approximately 500 high schools that played football in my state alone last year (and now this year). I have heard of no outbreaks at the thousands of games that occurred.

So 80 percent of UK adults are now vaccinated, but it is STILL not “safe” to go to an outdoor football game.

That’s fine, I guess. I would just note that the “experts” did not say this would be the case back when they were telling everyone to get their jabs.

What we were told would happen did not happen. What was not supposed to happen did happen.

Maybe they’re playing with negative numbers! You could be triple un-vaxxed that way, or quadruple and so on. But seriously, the round number of 23 million is more likely to be right – over 40% of the population. What they don’t advertise is the make up of the various groups. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if it mirrored the old ONS ethnicity survey on the subject a year or so ago.

These joy extractors at least don’t have the power of law in England. . They can only prattle in the receptive media. In Scotland we have had Sturgeons cabal of zero covid fanatics order the football off already, along with everything else that makes Christmas a time of cheer. Same game for Wales. Our Parliament of thick seat warming panic merchants, and innumerate data dunces, have gone along with it. I say gone along I mean in a way which makes sheep look like they are exercising proper agency. The public health zealots are loving the control and control freak politicians like Sturgeon, Drakefird and Gove are lapping it up. One harridan from Grampian NHS couldn’t hide her joy at these “necessary restrictions”, grinning through her yellow teeth at the fact that we have the proles under control.

All of Britain needs a libertarian movement that focuses on freedom and fighting back against these unelected safety dictators. The state has changed its shape and I appeal to those on the left especially to stop venerating these goons. Newcastle fans tell Eugene to fuck off, while lustily singing the Blaydon races. ⚽️⚽️

What a useful phrase which, despite being Northumbrian, I somehow missed.
So in Newcastle it will go: Haddaway an’ shite, Brandon. Or Milne, in this case.

Milne has expressed his concern over the lack of social distancing and mask wearing inside sports stadiums, and urged fans to get tested and receive the booster jab before attending the game. BBC Newshas more.

Does he realise that any injection related to Covid takes time to be active. Asking to get one two or three jabs is not going to help his cause.

Sadly they will try to keep the lock downs going until all independent business and social gathering has been destroyed. Just wish people would realise this is really happening.

Optimistically, I think eventually it will drive people closer together in local communities.

NHS may set up ‘field hospitals’ in carparks to cope with Omicron.

The NHS may set up “field hospitals” in the carparks of existing hospitals staffed partly by army medical personnel to help cope with a potential Omicron-driven surge in Covid patients.

It’s almost as if something else is going on than SARSCoV2 mutating to a less harmful variant, the way the HCoV-OC43 coronavirus (which once caused “Russian flu”) did.

To summarise: there is a plan for the ARMY to set up TENTS in HOSPITAL CAR PARKS, supposedly to “help the health service cope” with an epidemic during which the reported death rate has now been FALLING for quite some while.

What would people say if that happened in Emperor Bokassa’s Central African Republic? Or in China or wherever? They should say the same if it happens in Britain.

“I think because there are still many things we don’t know about Omicron there is a bit of doubt about where we need to go.”

We know all we need to know – it’s mild. Anyway I can think of far better reasons not to watch Newcastle United – just sayin’.

Ah yes, back in the days when football was still an honest game and local club really meant local club, not a toy to be played with by rich oligarchs and barbaric regimes.

What a profoundly miserable, misanthropic git!

It’s good for people’s mental well-being to get out and do something they enjoy, especially a shared experience. Same with theatre, concerts and so on. This is less to do with public health than with a desperate drive to stop people enjoying life.

Not being allowed to so the things you want to do must do harm to one’s mental health, right?

Gathering with friends who share the same interest is now a negative, per the “health” gods.

The geordie fans are the ones who never wear a shirt even if it is -10C. Their girls go to town in basically a t-shirt and panties for a night out and sleep on the pavement dressed like that, in the same temperature, do you think this twat ever looked out the window at the people he is talking to?

Reconsider going to the match, or Unicron will destroy us all!

ps. joking aside, just look at how much they made this character (a giant robot that transforms into a planet which eats other planets) look like a germ or virus. Even the nebula is coloured red to resemble blood.

Unicron > Omicron, a bit too similar for me to dismiss this as predictive programming.

I’m a Chelsea fan, and a Brentford supporting mate sent me this a little earlier.

See this from Chelsea FC:

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/about-chelsea/faqs/covid

A taster:

‘Supporters will need to show one of the following in order to gain entry to the stadium:

1. Proof of a negative lateral flow test taken within 48 hours of the kick-off

2. Proof of two Covid vaccinations (with the second dose being two weeks prior to the match you are attending)’

———

‘Supporters attending the stadium can show one of the following proof of vaccination documents:

NHS COVID Vaccine Card

NHS COVID Vaccine Passport

NHS app showing two vaccines or a Lateral Flow Test result

An official letter from a GP or Doctor

A physical Lateral Flow Test

COVID Vaccine Passports – this includes all World Health Organisation (WHO) approved vaccines – Astra Zeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Moderna, Sinopharm, Sinovac and Covaxin provided that they are in English’

Medical apartheid. Plain and simple.

I’m expecting the mind-numbing, ‘What’s the matter?’ call from my mate. He’s a compliant sheep. Not a zealot, just passive.

Any proper Chelsea fan still going to the football instantly loses my respect. I mean, I stopped giving my dough to the club when it started advocating taking the knee for a career criminal who lost his life because of issues/an incident which had absolutely nothing to do with his race. So I was already out. But this medical apartheid is another level altogether. Most Chelsea boys I know agree, and also had already stopped going when the mugs started taking the knee.

My Brentford mate will think I’m a weirdo. Even when I give him my reason(s), particularly the medical apartheid, he’ll think I’m being overdramatic. He’s a clever fella, but the term medical apartheid will go over his nut.

I can’t wait to ask him if he had to show his medical bona fides to get in (I don’t know Brentford’s policy, but I imagine it’s similar, and essentially medical apartheid).

“People need to make a choice about whether they are vulnerable, about whether they are likely to expose other people to risk by going.”

So the most vulnerable should avoid the match? Then what about the next most vulnerable group, are they vulnerable enough to be avoiding the match too? And what about those not vulnerable, they might all be asymptomatic spreaders and should definitely avoid the match right? Okay so who’s left? Er…..

Nothing to do with science or health. All about installing a permanent mindset of insecurity and paranoia that we might be causing harm to others, sadistically exploiting our empathy for others – the satanic inversion.

“The question is when is the right time to do that and that is a question for the politicians, rather than people like me.”

That’s right you grovelling little husk, hand all your decision making over to the psychopaths and maybe they’ll let you lick the shit off their boots.

Haven’t spotted this in the Newcastle Chronicle – probably for the best if its not widely read up here. Is the idea supposed to be that the same 60,000 staying indoors will not spread the infections as much? What is it we don’t know about Omicron – there is good data from South Africa and Denmark I believe. What is the BBC Local Democracy Reporting Service – is it like Pravda? I’m confused. ;).

Asking fans to merely ‘reconsider’? They should be doing it the Australian way because down here we really know how to beat the virus – this weekend’s December 26 A-League Men’s Boxing Day match between the Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanderers will proceed but will take place ‘behind closed doors’ i.e no fans allowed.

This follows a ‘dramatic Covid surge’ and an ‘outbreak’ of ‘cases’ in the Newcastle region which has panicked the soccer bosses into predictable overreaction yet again as New South Wales Health declared a ‘red alert’. And this is for the ‘Oh, Come On, you can’t be serious’, mild-mannered Omicron variant.

If the soccer and health authorities in Australia ever have an original thought in their heads, it would still be lonely.
