[Football] Players spitting

[seagurn]

Will this still be ok ? Or should they refrain from doing so in light of the corvid 19 virus .Some seem to be gobbing all the time especially when the cameras are on them. Surely time to try and get them to try and control it a bit . Would it be punishable or do they bring a bog roll out with them.

Be a bit hard when they’re wearing masks.

Also snorting out strings of snot. I lose count of how much up-close coverage I get of that particular activity during any live TV game.

Get them in helmets:

Ban for Zaha?

 

[Springal]

Someone should tell Zaha the dirty f*cker

This is what I find strange, players can't now shake hands but they can gob all over the pitch then roll around in it.

They commented on TalkSport that on most games at the weekend, players did not shake hands before.... but were shaking hands etc after the game anyway....

That isn't particularly stupid, tbh. Shaking hands immediately before departing to the changing room, where they'll be able to wash their hands / jump in the shower, isn't quite the same thing as contact before 50 minutes out on the pitch.

....grabbing each other at corners.......shouting in each other's faces......not shaking hands is nothing more than a token gesture.

Perhaps spittoons could be placed on the side of the pitch, just incase players feel the need to hock one out.
Would save the staff at half time and after matches, slipping over when trending the divots

And typical of the absurd advice people have chosen to take.

As far as spitting is concerned, that Pep Guardiola takes the biscuit. He spend the entire 90 minutes spitting out little while flecks of something. Sick? Sour grapes? Biscuit?

As long as it wasn't soggy biscuit

Why DO players spit, exactly ?

I'm perfectly capable of going for a walk or run without hacking up a huge grolly and flobbing it out on the path every fifty yards or so. So why do footballers constantly feel the need to deposit their sputum all over the pitch ? Its always baffled me.

No clue why but when I do high intensity sports (...been a while) I just find it very difficult to swallow the saliva so I spit quite a bit.

I guess thats what the players would say.

Imagine if squash or basketball players were similarly afflicted. They'd soon be slipping and sliding all over the place.

I do when I run, in particular in the cold months but rarely feel the need to when I cycle and never on a walk. No idea if it there is a science behind it or not.

Managers spitting just seems disgusting, no idea why they do it but they all seem to. Perhaps it is to do with stress levels or something?

It's a fashion accessory

I play squash regularly (typically three times a week) and go out running intervals (also typically three times a week). I've never once spat on the squash court, but without fail I spit into the gutter outside my house after running.

How come you never see referees spitting?
