I was speaking with Her Majesty earlier in our regular weekly conversation and she said she would side with what’s fair. Play up, play up and play the game. Said something about even she “drove lorries in the war for the good of the cause. Why can’t these clowns put up with a dedicated resort for a fortnight so they can represent their country?”

I couldn’t help but agree with Her Majesty. Wise words indeed.

The amazing thing is that a fortnight in a hotel here - even a Brisbane one - is loads better than what passes for a normal life in England ffs. Especially in their winter.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t understand a world they don’t live in. We embrace winter. Give me a back alley Birkenhead pub in December over whichever Live Tory Vote Labour shithole you spend your summer nights smoking cigars in. You ****.

It’s disrespectful to Joe Root that we don’t have this cleared up yet. **** you Australia

They won't be staying in the regular hotels probably. The main issue is certain states wanting quarantine periods when entering them from other states.
Changed this season in NRL

Players & families were literally locked in their rooms for 14 days upon arrival

Will require a relaxation of state government policy for it not to happen

Did you tell her we’d like to become a republic ?

Stipulations on being double-jabbed will inherently mean some of the team won't be attending irrespective of hotels (https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/cricket/england-ashes-australia-covid-vaccine-25123355). For comparison, five of the England football team in doubt for Qatar (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-hit-five-players-refusing-Covid-vaccine.html) and Djokovic (probably) in doubt for Australian Open. Personally I would just call the whole thing off as Australia is a loony bin right now.

At least you’re honest about it mate

I doubt there is an England fan going that expects anything other than a solid dicking for team England in this series......we know this. But was also know as GIMH has conclusively proved in the other thread, that Australia will conspire to cheat throughout.

So we can dismiss the result as null and void as we have so many others, and just accept that this is the way things are and always have been.

Your reedited version is probably correct also but I just don't care about an Ashes set in an fascist state with half the team missing and no away fans. Just delay the thing until normality is resumed and North Korea liberates Australia.

i mean, of all the conversations to be had about this, the issue of dumb-arses who don't get vaccinated isn't up there at all (and I'd be shocked if more than one or two players aren't double vaxxed)

Let's face it, all this talk about family coming/not coming and vaccination/quarantine requirements is just a smokescreen for the fact that a COVID-driven shortage of foodstuffs like chickpeas, couscous and quinoa mean England won't have access to their usual luncheon items. I mean, it backfired in 2013/14 when Johnson duly made them **** themselves, but they're going to hold out until they're able to eat like Pete Evans again.

As I said, five of the England football team are not vaccinated.

Also ''one-two players'' could be Jimmy Anderson or Joe Root (probably not but for sake of argument).
