Then I came on for aĀ look after Gilmour tested positive (gutted about it but trust that ClarkeĀ will do the best he can, personally Iād go with Fleck)Ā and saw this.

Archiesdad Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'm thinking that when Billy got substituted he must have at some point sat beside/with Mount and Cherwell for over the prescribed time . Then afterwards all regulations must have been adhered tooĀ Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players were talking within 1m of each other for around 20mins in the tunnel after the game apparently. This would class them as a close contact within the PHE guidelines. PHE are still investigating but the FA have asked them to isolate as a precaution until the investigation has been completed.Ā IĀ heard on BBC this morning that PHE will investigate all the players GPS info that they wear (which is where they will have picked up him, Chilwell and Mount being so close for a sustained period of time)Ā and watch training videos as part of their investigation.

Due to the incubation period it's entirely possible that he caught it from someone prior to joining with the squad and has only turned a positive test now. They are also staying in a hotel that is open to the public. Could have caught it from anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, which is why speculation and looking for someone doing something wrong, either the player for being irresponsible or the staff for not following the correct protocolsĀ is completely unhelpful. You would have thought that after 18 months of this people would realise that short of locking yourself up in a sealed room with no contact whatsoever with the outside world that all you can do is to lessen and mitigate the risk.

Lion Rampant Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Mount and Chilwell having to isolate until Monday 28th. Not really a surprise when you hear they were talking face to face with him for over 20 mins in the tunnel within 1m of each other. With their GPS stuff on from the game they cant even daft man it and pretend it was just a 5 min conversation. People ranting and raving about Scotland having no close contacts clearly don't fully grasp what PHE class as a close contact and how the information provided to them can be worked. Scotland will have handed over all the videos of training, GPS info from training and games, bus/planeĀ manifests etc. Now if the players don't sit where they are meant to or are in each other's rooms then there is a degree of deniability there with the team, how can anyone prove otherwise? With Mount and Chilwell, they would have been bang to rights.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure bad luck Ā MI5 mate. They recognise that Billy Gilmour is a clear and present danger to UK sovereignty. Was quite clear he was about to lead us through the group stages and be instrumental in Scotland winning EURO2020 -Ā an event that finally breaks the shackles of decades, almost centuries, ofĀ colonial rule from Westminster and a decisive independence referendum on 18th September 2021 is won. Got MI5 written all over it and I suspect Chilwell is the security services' inside man.Ā Bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
