Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted January 5, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think we need to try to separate this from Covid. These postponements have less and less to do with the pandemic and more and more to do with the biggest clubs deciding they can't possibly be expected to field teams of a standard that might give them any sort of disadvantage at all. If Liverpool were playing Luton in this semi-final, they'd have gone ahead. They've postponed it because they think they might lose - not because of the damaging effect of a global pandemic. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Another farcical non game in Italy where the Bologna - Inter game has been postponed due to Covid in Bologna, but since Inter turn up before the game and warm up they are handed a 3-0 victory. Despite knowing the game was not going to get played. Edited January 6, 2022 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should've just gone to Elland Road on the 28th and started warming up on the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse is we had play those players because we had a previous mass outbreak in the senior squad and couldn’t postpone the game. Against the same club. I have no issue with us having to play the games we did this season but of **** course Liverpool get the rub of the green, again and again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted January 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2022 Afcon 2021: Covid-hit teams must play with just 11 players and no keeper Quote Countries suffering Covid outbreaks will have to play their Africa Cup of Nations matches even if they have only 11 players available. New guidelines from the Confederation of African Football (Caf) state matches will still go ahead even if none of the 11 players is a goalkeeper. Any nation unable to fulfil a fixture will forfeit the game 2-0. The guidance has been issued after several nations reported Covid cases before the tournament starts on Sunday. Caf said that in "exceptional cases" the tournament's organising committee "will take the appropriate decision". On Friday Egypt delayed their departure for the tournament, which is taking place in Cameroon, and were forced to cancel training after coronavirus cases were reported in their camp. The Pharaohs, who have won the competition a record seven times, eventually flew to Cameroon on Saturday. Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was among two players to test positive in the Gabon squad on Thursday. Guinea were forced to leave behind defender Mikael Dyrestam, midfielder Morlaye Sylla and striker Seydouba Soumah at their training base in Rwanda. Cape Verde and debutants Gambia were hit by several positive tests last week, while Tunisia have also reported cases from their pre-tournament camp.

sne Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 The AFCON is gonna be an absolute sh*tshow and disaster. There is also a rather serious terror threat against a couple of nations which hopefully turns out to be nothing but I wouldn't count on it.

foreveryoung Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 The top teams know how to get games called off, it is why you are seeing more. If in doubt and only 1 or 2 players has the virus, close the training ground then no one can train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
