I'm confused. Have France changed their rules again or are BBC not aware of the changes made by France?

I have looked around and I came across this same explanation again on another site or there are other requirements but still allow the entry of unvaccinated people.

Looks like we might not have an issue playing in Lille in March.

"From Feb. 15, anyone who is not vaccinated against the coronavirus will need to show proof they tested positive for COVID-19 within the previous four months — down from the current six-month window — in order to enter sports venues in France."

We don't know exactly who is vaccinated and who is not but most/all of the players tested positive in December.

Recovery certificate

The validity time of a recovery certificate proving you have recovered from Covid will drop from six months to four for people who have not also had at least

two vaccine doses, meaning you must have recovered within the past four months for your pass to remain in use. The time limit starts from the day you first

tested positive for Covid.

What rules apply to travellers from the United Kingdom?

If unvaccinated, you must present the transport company and the border authorities with results of a virological (PCR) or antigen biological screening test

taken less than 24h prior to departure that did not detect any COVID-19 contamination, in order to enter Metropolitan France.

Nah from what it says rules haven't changed..from what that bottom link says first requirement is...

''1. A compelling reason

Unvaccinated people will be required to have a compelling reason to travel to or from the UK'

Whatever that is.Then comes the negative test etc. 

A month to go though so anything can change and potential for exceptions made and all. Think if get moved onto green list its fine if still on orange..oh

Its laughable that players are okay taking umpteen amounts of pain medication and injections to play through trauma, or risking their body in physical play.

But one vaccine that could give at most half a day worth of chills? Oh no. That's going too far. 

 

but but 

[Mário César 975]

Chelsea x Real

[Pizy 18,368]

If Reece is back fit and we can actually have fans in the ground I’ll be confident.

City and Liverpool should comfortably sail through to the semi’s. Was really hoping they’d draw one another and Real Madrid would draw Bayern to make our road back to the final much easier.

[Beigl 1,387]

We can do this. Hoping for a Simeone masterclass in the other QF. 

[Tricky Houseman 7]

Sooner play these, than anti-football Simeone. Last half hour of that tie against Utd the ball was actually in play 11 minutes. Who can watch that kind of crap? They'll make Citeh work that's for sure. Just hope the fans are back for the game.

[Blues Forever 1,232]

So basically the semifinals would be:

Bayern Vs Liverpool

Chelsea/Madrid Vs City

[MoroccanBlue 5,297]

I expect Real to be more difficult this year, but we should still win. 

[milka 3,346]

The last  year we beat and elimate all of them  - Atletico , Real and Citeh .

Now obviously things will be different without fans  but we have Tuchel .

 

[Vesper 28,796]

FUCK

our luck truly ran out

[MoroccanBlue 5,297]

Apparently, we are away the first leg due to conflicting arrangements with Atletico and Real.

Madrid journos are still saying the 2nd leg will be at Bernabeu.

Looks like Real got what they wanted. 

So behind closed doors with no fans the first leg, to away with no supporters the 2nd leg. 

Fantastic. 

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Vardrid are not any better than last year, just older 

We will miss chilly but other than that we are just as strong as last year. 
can’t get lucky every time, only Bayern does 

[MoroccanBlue 5,297]

Believe it or not, some people actually have Real favorites. 

Be top of a very weak league and bypass a implosive PSG side makes you favorites against a side that took the mickey out of you last year.
