Given it’s UR I shouldn’t be surprised but it’s still a bit of a shock given all we have learnt over the past 15 months. Football teams across the UK have been getting checked for months and haven’t had this type of issue for many, many months. Clearly a few of the team aren’t on the same page when it comes to protecting themselves, the club and their workplace from the risks.

No doubt many will jump on here to defend, but given the lack of cases being demonstrated across the country, an exceptionally extensive lockdown that has had implications on people’s freedom and livelihood, yet 4 at the club manage to catch it. The figures indicate the infection rate is 22 per 100k people in Belfast at the moment and 4 of them are at UR, that’s not just a coincidence, that’s stupidity.

You should have stopped there Pimp, and acknowledged that your first rant was an off the cuff blow fuelled as much from disappointment as anything else.

You have stated that there has been "clearly a breach of protocols" at UR. You then had a chance to back down from that and admit you were wrong. You didn't take it. So now it's time you backed up your allegation, nay, your assertion, with facts to back it up.

But you can't. Even if there was a breach of protocols, it would not guarantee someone gets covid, and nor is it possible to say by complying fully with protocols is it possible to guarantee someone remains free from the virus.

Few positives at this stage ......

One match unbeaten?

Despite the points awarded to opposition.

Leads the team out in his 200th appearance, wins a turnover after 30 seconds and gets his knee wrecked in the process.

Managed to limp off but it didn’t look good.
