ender4 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I think the league will carry on as normal, with a few more games cancelled here and there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted January 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Have the rules on the 25 man squad for the Premier League changed? I mean our whole squad has the virus or are isolating so I would guess Spurs and Everton are off and Man City is touch and go if we cannot train much before that game. We cannot play anyone outside if that 25 by the rules. Edited January 8, 2021 by S-Platt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can still play in the first team though, just don't take up squad places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Well the PL have set a precedent in cancelling the game’s previously so they cannot force us to play now just because it’s inconvenient for the opposition and their remaining fixture schedule. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I’ll be shocked if the Wednesday game is not postponed. My understanding is today’s game had to be played as there was no scope to reschedule before the forth round. So it was either forfeit or a get a team together. Premier league is a different situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The club should explore legal options if they try to make us field a youth team when other PL fixtures have been cancelled. They can't just make the rules up as they go along and pretend that the competition has any integrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we want football, at this moment in time we shouldnt take the piss with Covid, we are asking for trouble us humans are, get rid the right way by following lockdown. The fact Covid doesnt care who you are, what you got, what you've done,it doesnt care about anything and it cant be reasoned with, if you contract it, theres a good chance it can kill you, why do people keep thinking they can carry on normally. It's time everyone started behaving responsibly with this Desease. It’s actually very unlikely that it will kill you but I understand the sentiment of the post.

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I get it’s only a game and in the grand scheme of things it’s not important etc. But during these dark times it’s the only thing to look forward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a prat. Klopp is the biggest prick in football, he acts like a happy guy but is an absolute prick.

Money isn't the issue for the NHS though at the moment, it's more the lack of supply of vaccines. Every vaccine to a young, fit footballer who has no realistic chance of developing serious complications is one less vulnerable person who can be vaccinated. Taking a few thousand vaccines from the vulnerable to footballers will be guaranteed to result in deaths which could otherwise have been avoided. It wouldn't look great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it takes between a month and two for the body to create the antibodies for the virus, it's not magically immediate immunity like some seem to imagine. Players will have to be tested even after getting a vaccine. They shouldn't be getting it, instead the league should be suspended for at least a month, probably more.

Antibodies are produced immediately and start providing protection from the start but they peak 10-14 days after administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chips'ngravy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Find it pretty incredible given what's happened at our club that last night the coaching staff weren't respecting social distancing rules or wearing masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the PR needs to be managed. Maybe if they got an “additional” order to what the UK is scheduled to get then there won’t be any uproar. I have a feeling the football league, and other big sporting organisations like the Olympics will get their hands on vaccines one way or another.
