mikeyp102 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 It’s the right decision to call it off, but surely should’ve been done last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the club here with the 2 hour thing, it's the PL who called the game off... We'll never know when the tests were done or the info passed on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the wisest logistical move (even if it's the right move) considering tens of thousands people involved. So are you suggesting Lockdown, and the economical fallout from that. no easy answers, mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not easy for anyone at the club. Let's say they took tests literally 5mins before getting on the pitch and they turned out positive, is it right to call the game off? Probably. It's a shitty situation for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of people saying they've been to works dos where everyone has ended up infected with omicron. Imagine that but with 45k at VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never suggest a lockdown, but that's my opinion. In current circumstance, I'd probably advise additional testing for everyone. All I'm saying is that it's not an easy time to make any decision, and much harder to make the right ones (if these even exist). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono62 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I was going to buy a ticket for this match as it went on general sale and I live in South London so would have had to leave early to get there. Thankfully I didn't or I would have been halfway there with it being cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 If they took them before training yesterday then its 24 hours for a result minimum which is what they have got back this morning. Thats what the prem has put in place. The right protocols to protect the fans and players . But it doesnt help the fans and footballers travelling . You could say that they should have used a test from thursday so that we knew by friday morning if it was on or off . BUT that doesnt take into account any players who then show as catching it in the following 24 hours and could end up playing with it and maybe being really poorly on the pitch. Impossible position for the club . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
