i had a real laugh reading a whatsapp message from a mate who is always sending these funny things.

'the 47th best tennis player in the world who is vaccinated but has covid is in Australia, meanwhile the number one player in the world who is unvaccinated, has natural antibodies and has tested covid free has to leave' 

As someone not massively into this, I seen a video of the the CEO of Pfizer saying the first two vaccines weren't effective against omicron but the booster would be (thats in my own words) Is it genuine?

Djokovic has always been a bit of a c*ntrarian. Despite his hugely successful career he has never had the same love or affection as either Federer or Nadal and he has thrived on being cast into that role. He is not doing anything out of character here.

I'm not au fait with the whole Visa case since I am just completely weary of the whole Covid thing and tend to switch off on such matters. But if he wasn't a superstar tennis player he would not have got into Australia, that much is obvious.

Fixed that for ye

I'm sure your an angel 

Completely politically motivated. Could have done it yesterday but waited to the close of business to make things more difficult for him. Anyone with an ounce of fairness against institutional abuse should be concerned.

Unparliamentary language

did i hear the word 'w**ker' there?

Moortown be dissapointed with how yesterday went, players will no doubt have regrets with the system the management opted to play. If it ain't broke....

Hmmmmm. Moortown have been playing that way all year with success (like it or loath it) They beat us convincingly in R2 of the Championship with exactly that style. We must of had 80% of the possession for the first quarter but then they started to break and reaped great rewards with the counter attack and long ball to Devlin. They got well ahead of us and then opened up a bit more and had us beat well before the final whistle.

They just ran out of luck with the tactics - maybe that style of play is more suited to better conditions or they just came up against a better team. They have had a great year (got to Ulster Final when not many would have gave them a chance of winning Tyrone in the summertime) so fair play to them

Maybe it was nothing to do with luck, but eventually met a better team.

Found this massively interesting

I saw someone on Twitter mock up a pic of the Moortown coach with a Brian Ogs emblem on his jacket.  Ones coming on and criticising the poster - I thought it was funny, if you stick your chin out like that, you're going to get a slap when it goes wrong.

you don't have a sense of humour if you didn't have a small giggle at it 

The plot thickens. Apparently re-arrested.

No, inaccurate

Immigration minister still deciding on whether to abuse their power once more

And you think him being vaccinated would have stopped him getting covid. It very obvious this is a pollical move.  He was ok'd by the tennis authorities (they have to take a good chunk of blame for not being all over this as well) Mondays court hearing will tell a tale. Big news day.

itg, that would be true if it was only him. But by reports there have been a number of less high profile sports people entered with similar evidence. As I say the court hearing on Monday will tell a tale.

It doesn't stop him getting Covid but it dramatically reduces his chances of needing hospital treatment if he gets Covid. Exceptions can't be made just because he's a decent tennis player. Otherwise every unvaccinated person who had Covid last year will expect the same treatment and many of them would end up in hospital.

is there any  fit young athlete who had to go to hospital with Covid ? I may be setting myself up here but I haven't heard of any

So you think there should be one rule for him and one rule for the rest of us. I'm afraid I completely disagree. If you allow him in on an exception you open the floodgates and there will be loads of unvaccinated people who'll end up taking up valuable hospital beds.

As I said early doors on Friday its political. Thrown out of court. A blind man could see it except very pro vaxxers. Its tara that in area of Ireland where people should be able to smell a rat from government, especially on trampling an individual's rights.

Volunteerism is dying!

So much governance and treating clubs like businesses and parents like customers....time is our most precious commodity...people don't want to give it up for free....

very true, giving up your free time for potentially such scrutiny, not very appetising.

Yes, thats not what surprised me, it was the 165 number that did.

Yes, read that to, the info I found most interesting was 165 dead from covid only, all other deaths had accompanying morbidities.

I'm amazed at this stage you found that interesting tbh.

why?

Got this sent to me via whatsapp, found it massively interesting. A freedom of information request re covid. Forget about the twitter posters opinion, read the attached letter response
