That footballers should know that...

[isitorisntit]

In a pandemic of a respiratory virus, that they should NOT gob and snot all over the pitch FFS. GROSS.

[GlummyMcGlummerson]

The other day I saw someone in a face mask actually lower it to gob on the pavement fucking cretin

[isitorisntit]

@GlummyMcGlummerson vile.

[Wizadorawobble]

People should know that "cretin" is a terribly offensive word.

[isitorisntit]

@Wizadorawobble Well, I never knew its origins. Now I know.

@Wizadorawobble

People should stick to the actual discussion in the thread instead of looking for any minor infraction to seize upon and beat the OP with.

[Wizadorawobble]

seize upon and beat the OP with

yes, that's exactly what I did.

[GoddessArtemis]

Equally horrendous is the finger on the nostril to clear the nose.🤢 Maybe they should make them wear masks or fine them every time they did it.

I was just tucking in to dinner when I was treated to a juicy close up of just that (hurk). I thought exactly the same thing - surely they've been advised against spitting and... snot rocketing.

[PhilSwagielka]

I get why they do it, their mouths fill with saliva, but yeah. It's a really bad time to be spitting on the pitch.

I wondered if they were going to make players wear masks but it would be too impractical. Imagine being a goalkeeper and trying to keep the damn thing on while you're throwing yourself all over the place.

[StepAwayFromGoogle]

They are constantly tested for COVID-19 so while minging, it isn't going to spread a virus they haven't got.

oh fuck off

[isitorisntit]

@derxa Who? What? Why?

[Cyclewidow46]

Snot rocketing! Love it 😂 (the phrase, not actually doing it!)
