villalad21 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) If the tables was turned and we had 5 first teamers out i would want it postponed too. This is the correct decision. Edited December 1, 2020 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Nothing to do with them having Dubravka, Fraser, Lascelles, Saint Max out injured is it... Wonder how many confirmed cases they have. Edited December 1, 2020 by AndyM3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 1, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2020 Wow! That's a surprise and it suggests Newcastles outbreak is a bad one - in which case, it's hard to argue that this isn't the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Let’s just hope our opposition is as supporting if we’re hit with cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 It's their fault and problem though. Now we have a significant disadvantage having 2 games in hand, all because Newcastle players/staff couldn't isolate properly. **** joke, and I'm pissed off at the club for being such pussies. I expected more from Purslow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Why should we take on the burden of a busier schedule because of them? It's not like it was completely random. PL clubs aren't strict about their COVID restrictions. How would an outbreak even happen, I thought the players are tested before they even come into the building? This whole season has been a farce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's really about safety they'd forfeit the match no? Pretty sure Leyton Orient did the same for their League Cup tie vs Spurs. You can't fulfill the fixture, that's your problem. We don't have the luxury of rescheduling games willy nilly this season of all seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteend1982 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 On the brightside it's one less game we have to play without Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Absolute joke, if there has been a covid "outbreak" they are doing something wrong and should forfeit the 3 points. Jokeshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I bet the PL wouldn't have taken this stance had it been Liverpool they were due to play. Klopp would have thrown a hissy fit. Let's hope there's at least consistency across the board, good chance us and Newcastle have some spare game weeks given the FA Cup draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With having points taken from us by absurd VAR decisions two weeks in a row, and us being punished for the opposition not being able to keep their house in order, I am losing interest and it's really sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
