Mr Popodopolous Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 16 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: It will be investigated but we won’t get done for calling the game off against EFL protocol as they had the final say in conjunction with us and Brentford. As I said earlier the EFL could have said “you will play”. I would argue the club has been responsible for bringing it to their attention however convenient some may think. It wasn’t a unilateral decision by us not to play. Okay thanks- reading subsequent stuff on it, including Gregor's tweets makes me a bit more confident. 2nd postponement though- in the event it drags into multiple games, we could have a problem?

Due to the New Year Bank Holiday closure of the testing laboratory, it has not been possible to arrange the testing of the entire squad and backroom staff ahead of tomorrow’s match at the Brentford Community Stadium. Following discussions with Brentford and the English Football League the decision has been taken to postpone the game for the safety of players and staff of both clubs. A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course. How can this happen ? Our very own Barmy Dick called Alan from the Army has made it clear in a previous thread that no such thing could happen because footballers live in a different world and we are all stupid.

Football surely needa suspending again now. Doesn't need that many more postponements and some clubs will be playing at least twice a week every single week with the odd three timer to get the season done.

I think football (in the EFL) will end up with such a fixture pile up that it will all be academic anyway. You’ve just got to look at the ever increasing case stats and the time it will take to get 60% of the population vaccinated (we don’t have enough bloody bottles to put the vaccines in even) to see this is a problem that is here to stay for the foreseeable........

The second half of the season is slightly less condensed than the first half, but, yeah, too many postponements will eventually cause probs.

Numero Uno Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 An alternative is stop professional sport for a fortnight and to vaccinate all “designated professional sport staff” if professional sport in this country is deemed culturally important enough? If you take football and rugby at pro level that will be 10k players and staff tops? Then go and finish the season. Obviously Nakhi will refuse but that isn’t exactly the end of the world on current form!!! 3 minutes ago, Lrrr said: Was on about the euros this summer, players could easily bio secure bubble for that Oh right, agreed.

Can't even give those that have had their first vaccination their required second so it seems. What is the point ? We need our Barmy Army Dick Alan to take control of what is obviously the complete nationwide conspiracy that we find ourselves in. Go Al, save us from ourselves !!!

Don't the so called experts say that it takes up to three weeks before Covid symptoms show? Although self isolation is only up to 14 days. IMO, as the game as it played is a contact sport, it is impossible for any social distancing, so the virus can be passed on at any time that they are playing. Just saying.
