    I don't know you but you sound the angry guy and I don't know why. I guess you are just extremely provax and that's fine, I don't hate you for that. To each their own, but we should live to try to respect difference, not fight it. I just don't think you are either fully informed or are willing to hear the other side, it's not as simple as you make it out to be. Is it not narrow minded just to ignore one side? It sounds like you are hard core provax and just slam and hate the other. You reference the old firm support, similarity here?

    You slam Djokovic, are you aware of all the good he has done for people? (non vaccine related.) If you really look you'll hear people talk about he's the first to stand up and fight for his peers and how, in his hour of need, he was left hanging. Horrible situation, and he should have never even have gone to Australia, but consider this. The CDC came out on Wednesday of this week statically stating that natural immunity is stronger than a vaccine. Djokovic had natural immunity plus watched a peer lose his career and livelihood from the vaccine. He's a super health conscious guy, not in an at risk category, why should he take the vaccine? I also don't understand how natural immunity has been so flatly ignored. You referenced him out partying. He's super healthy and not worried about covid, and like me, has more worry about an unproven vaccine with mounting evidence backing up his concern. Why is that so bad?

    From what I saw today, 5.6 mil have died worldwide of covid from a world population of 7.9 billion. That's a 0.0007% chance of death, and 343.3m reported cases, that's a 0.043% chance of catching it. That's why I said the chances of catching it and having severe complications are slim. I don't think I am wrong here. I certainly feel for those hurt and certainly those who died, but it, in the bigger picture, is a low number. I just had covid, day 10 today, I assessed risk and made my choice. It's my right to do that. I also live in a community where I care for others, do things for others, help others, including pay a fortune in health insurance so that others benefit. Just because I don't inject relatively unknown drugs shouldn't make me an unselfish prick shunned by many in society. I just don't think that's right.

    You are correct about adverse reactions to medicine, but these adverse reactions are clearly and publicly stated and have been learned through years of research and study. That's why people are given the option to choose, risk versus benefit. Almost every reference you made, swimming, ladders, drugs, cars, is where you are given a choice. Why don't you respect the choice of taking this vaccine when we know people are having severe reactions?

    The covid vaccines are too new and they don't fully understand the reactions, hence the blood clots we're learning about, inflamed hearts etc. There is not vaccine history to relate to so taking then vaccine is a leap of faith, and these were vaccines rushed out, steps skipped, because of understandable desperation. You don't think there should be any concern, especially when you are hearing of people with problems, even dying from them? Are these people worth considering or do we simply ignore them?

    You seem blindly happy to believe you are safe and believe the minimal scientific evidence, I commend you for that. I wish I thought that way, but I am just a lot more skeptical. There are scientists that are well educated, well qualified, and way smarter than us that are expressing concerns. Is it fair of you to say there are brilliant scientists pushing safety while ignoring the brilliant scientists saying the opposite? You reference propaganda yet I see it exactly the same way with you. You've bought into one side and don't even want to consider the other.

     

    You may admire Djokovic to stand up for his beliefs but he entered a country unvaxxed which clearly stipulates you must be vaxxed unless you have medical eexemption.

    As a top athlete, he did not!

    Having caught the disease before doesnt make you exempt from entering Australia.

    He even admitted he lied on his forms.

    But what did it for me was the fact he knew he had covid yet took photos with kids and adults and didn't give a shit about passing it on.

    The Serbian prime minister even said Djokovic was 'tortured and tormented'' in Australia.🤣

    There's no doubt he's one of the greatest tennis players of all time but his integrity is definitely fucked now I would say.

    Yeah attitudes like this do anger me when I have a son with asthma and a dad in a care home.

    And there is division. There should be.

    For example, we've seen what some Americans will do when asked to get vaccinated or locked down.

    Stand in their lawns with semi automatic machine guns...storm buildings resulting in deaths etc etc.

    They have a right to do this of course yeah?

    I mean let's respect them for that yeah?

    Bullshit!

    The human race baffles me at times but there's always been supporters of the ridiculous.

    Bojo and Trump being perfect modern day examples.

    I would even categorise non vaxxers as extremists.

    Can you imagine the deaths in the world right now if nobody was vaccinated at all?

    Remember the footage of mass graves in Brazil?

    According to figures 9.82 billion doses have been administered globally with 28.95 doses administered each day.

    The only way to live with covid is to protect everyone as best we can and live life as we ALL used to, by getting vaccinations.

     

    . Almost every reference you made, swimming, ladders, drugs, cars, is where you are given a choice. Why don't you respect the choice of taking this vaccine when we know people are having severe reactions?

    None of these actions hurt or kill others directly^^^

    It was a clear foul, Hedges knocked the ball away, McGregor made contact with him and wiped him out, I don't even see why there was a debate about it. With that said we had plenty of time to get organised after the incident and the way we let them waltz up the park and score was abysmal.

    McCrorie's fault.

    He was stupidly too busy waving to defenders to mark up and took his eye off Hagi whom he was marking, who then ran past him into the gap and scored.

    Shockingly bad defending.

  3. Can we free up some wages and get rid of Russell?

    Wtf do our strikers/players get taught?

    If the goals were 20 feet in the air we would win the league!

    Abysmal shooting from us EVERY game.

    We were only ever going to score from a penalty or an O.G.

    We played decent but we must work on striking a ball at the training sessions.

    P.s. Kent is a dick, Wright is a dick, Hagi is a dick and Moreles is a total arsehole.

    Agreed he’s a cock, and an arrogant one at that. But I don’t think anyone comes out of this well, Djokovic, Australian tennis, and the government. What a fucking mess. 
     

    The likes of Federer, Nadal & Murray have far too much class/sense to ever get into this sort of situation in the first place. 

    Yeah totally agree Kowalski.

    The reasoning to cancel his visa should've been finalised before he even got into Australia.

    To go down the line that he would be some sort of anti-vaxxer icon seems petty and clutching at straws.

    Still the correct decision was made.

    He lied then (I believe), got his agent to take the hit for the entry form fuck up.
