You ask this question 3 minutes before KO?

The line up may have had something to do with it.

 

[crodonilson]

Yes but can we have a poll please.

 

[SEWDONIM]

No.

Just dock the clubs who cannot fulfil fixtures due to outbreaks in the camp

I can't see the premier league awarding Everton a 3-0 victory over Man City like Romania were against Norway. Surely we don't want to encourage teams to hide positive covid tests?

We send the boot boys in the army to do the tests for them

The army are widely reported to be assisting schools with mass testing. What that means in practise is that they are doing video calls in an advisory manner.

Gutted.

I was hoping they rolled up in Warriors and full combat kit...

 

[GT49er]

Yes, and all schools should remain shut until February too.

No. All the games are going to have to be played at some point, they can't cancel it, so creating a fixture bottleneck later on the year is a silly idea, particularly when you've supposedly got the euros this summer. Most games can be conducted in realitive safety, they'll be able to reschedule the comparatively small number that have been postponed

Wrong thread

Oh for **** sake

So the football fixtures should take priority over the NHS?

What relevance do either of those have to eachother? Players aren't becoming infected because they're playing games, you stop the games and you'll still have the same amount of players getting covid. The games themselves are incredibly safe environments.

 

[Lenny Rider]

If Potter stays, yes please.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Fulham v Spurs in doubt tomorrow due to positive tests in Fulham camp.

 

[Sorrel]

I think for all our sakes this might be the right point to stop the season.

The link in the original post suggests the Rochdale Dr. believes travelling around the country and then spending time with family is not a good thing.
