First game of pre-season. In a winning position…

but draw, because a player playing out of position (left-back would you believe) gives away a penalty.

Haha.

 

Report from the OS:

Contrary to the lineups posted earlier, Jan Bednarek played in the second half, while Mohammed Salisu played the whole 90 minutes. Saints goal was scored by goal machine Shane Long, before Moussa Djenepo gave away the penalty when he foule Anthony Knockaert.

 

Assist from Obafemi.

 

Goal for Shane Long

Some decent attacking play in there! Chances created from open play is a nice thing to see.

 

**** off.

 

So you think this is fair? Let me tell you about the mental struggles I've faced over the past 6 weeks or so.

I'm breaking down 2/3/4 times a day, as the pressure for me to get my vaccine gets too much. I'm getting constant letters, social media is getting too much.

I've been signed off work, because this whole situation is overwhelming me. I can't look after my kids, again, because I can't cope ... and all this because I feel I'm being forced to have a vaccine I'm ****ing beyond terrified of.

I've spoken to people, I've reached out for help, but I just cannot face it under any circumstances. I just can't.

And yeah, I expect I'll get the "man up" **** thrown my way. Anyone who thinks I'm being a whimp can **** right off, because I would willingly take it if I could handle it. And believe me, I've tried.

And I genueinly think I'm falling into depression at thought of how restricted my future life is going to look. It's terrifying, I'm scared and there's nothing I can do.

The government need to at least consider negative tests as part of this. Its an absolutely abhorrent move.

 

Is there not some kind of drug/sedative you can take before getting vaccinated? If you aren’t against the vaccination because of concerns over the side effects of the jab just wondering if there was something you could take (like people who have a phobia of flying for example)

 

I think people who have a genuine phobia relating to needles or vaccines should be exempt. It's not fair on people like yourself and TBH those people are likely to be so few and far between it shouldn't make much difference. The "**** off" was aimed at people who are too selfish, arrogant and lazy to get the vaccine. For most people, it's not difficult. When I had my first jab it was a walk in the park.

I have the upmost sympathy for you with your situation. Things will get better for you. Cases will go down as the amount of people double jabbed increase. And I certainly don't think you're being a wimp.

 

May I ask why you're scared of the vaccine? Is there anyone close to you who you can talk too? I myself suffer from social anxiety, and have done for years now. The thought of getting the vaccine scared me too. Not because of the needle, or the vaccine, but because of having to be somewhere that's very public with a lot of people. But the whole process was excellent, and I've actually never felt more relaxed then when I was in a vaccination centre compared to the Dr's/Hospital.

 

Wtf was he wearing!? Looked like a spoons chef on a fag break.

 

I actually really like the attire personally. Very Swag.

 

Its like he’s dressing for golf but put a shirt on for a formal dinner afterwards
