Curtailing celebrations for socially distanced reasons, are you going to tell players to calm it down?



NEIL HARRIS:

I can tell my players to adhere to the law, being sensible around the training ground. We can follow protocol every day and on matchday as well. But the raw emotion of scoring a goal in the heat of the moment, you can’t control that.

If they are that worried about it, stop playing. That’s my honest opinion on it, stop the game.

They are obviously not that worried about it because they let a bunch of kids play in the FA Cup. It’s a joke.

NEIL HARRIS:

Clubs aren’t being punished for Dubai trips, now you’ve got this celebration thing…?






I’m quite strong in my opinion, but everyone is being careful.

Some parts of it are really hard to contain. Goal celebrations in that moment are difficult.

It’s hard to stop players shaking hands in the changing room.

I’ve shook hands with managers, you go for first bumps, but then you shake hands out of habit.

The point is try to follow protocols as much as we can. Something new is getting chucked at us every day.

It is hard on the pitch to stop people from man marking on corners, you’re going to find people spitting on the floor during games.

It’s really difficult. I just really struggle with making teams like Aston Villa and Derby play, but they are just making football more important than the rest of society.

Do you want to see football stopped?



NEIL HARRIS:

Personally, no. I love it. It’s giving me something to do, I don’t want to be sitting at home.

A lot of my friends are doing that, I don’t want to be homeschooling my children. I want to be doing the job I love.

What are the boundaries of being safe?

What is a goal celebration compared to man marking when you have 14 people in the six-yard box. There has to be a realism to it.

I personally think Football should have had a break this lockdown.Images of that non league team (sorry can’t remember name) celebrating in the changing room,hugging,singing,dancing,showering each other with drinks etc...

Most of the country only allowed out for essential purposes and deaths at an all time high doesn’t really look good.

About time, too!

Modern players should learn from the examples of their 70' and 80's mentors

Real hard men, they were... ;) :lol:

If it was a full on pandemic then football should be stopped and in fact all sport would of been stopped. Just like those demonstrations some are fine others are selfish and spreading the virus. Then you have mountain walking is dangerous supermarkets are not,Prime minister can cycle 5 miles from his residence that is fine not breaking the law. A couple going to visit there relative in a care home and they get fined. Two girls travel five mile for exercise get fined.
It’s either a deadly virus or not ? It’s a nasty bug that’s for sure but we live with loads of nasty bugs and don’t shut down the country. Harris is right if it’s that bad stop the football.

Absolutely should stop this man on man hugging.

What's happening to them all?

A polite nod for scoring/defending/tackling sufficient.

Same goes for us when we allowed back into the stadium once we score.

A quick "hurrah" will do.

Harris already doing his part to stop the spread of the virus by making sure our players don’t score
