Bizarre stuff. And apparently he's contracted COVID twice!
His reasoning for why he wasn't vaccinated was really wishy-washy too (not that there's a good reason), he basically couldn't explain his rationale. He's not the only one in the squad by any means though, apparently there's quite a few in the squad and generally uptake amongst footballers hasn't been good (only 7 Premier League team squads are at over 50% fully vaccinated and United are supposedly struggling to get many of the players to get it done). Kenny specifically mentioned concerns around virility, seeming to indicate that some of the players are more willing to take on board a tweet by Nicki Minaj than clear scientific advice.
I'm sure there's plenty, but I just wonder why Robinson chose to make it public knowledge - or was it leaked, I haven't followed the whole thing?

Totally random, but met him in Dicey's one night. Drunk me asked for a photo, and he was more than obliging. The two twats he was with were absolute dick heads about it, though.
I think it was leaked that there were still quite a few but no specific names were mentioned. Robinson did a press conference with Kenny where the topic was brought up, particularly in light of Klopp's comments and the stories that several players in the squad weren't fully vaccinated, and Robinson was first asked for his opinion and then directly asked what his stance was and at that stage he confirmed his position. I imagine the journalists would have had some idea of the names or at least would have made an educated guess that he was one given he contracted Covid again fairly recently and so maybe that was why he was asked in that way.I'm sure there's plenty, but I just wonder why Robinson chose to make it public knowledge - or was it leaked, I haven't followed the whole thing?
Just Googled Minaj's Tweet, as I wasn't aware of it. Fml
Ah ok cheers. I assumed it must have been a leak, as I had no idea why he would openly say it given the obvious backlash.
Agreed. Think of the money channelled into horse breeding and racing…
He's some gobshite. That's hardly going to make the criticism go away.
I don't think we're playing well at all. We've feck all possession and are creating very little.
He’s putting forward the most convincing argument I’ve seen yet for not getting it.
My bro was saying he should get pilloried in press in more often. He seems to thrive on the pressure
He was falling over and on his weak foot. I reckon he fluked it.
Looked like a bit of a fluke to be fair, but if you don’t buy a ticket.
