CanVillan Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Football as we know it is gone. Actually, everything is upside down and based on the past two years, I can't see what we know as normal will be making a comeback. Glad to have had 58 years of normal, it's the young ones I feel sorry for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, it's a huge call, no fans in the stadiums maybe probably should be but cancel all the games? The PL would be under huge pressure not to do it, its a massive market, boxing day is a football day for so many And the only one out of the top 5 leagues giving the PL a free hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With many players in isolation period now we are only 8 days from Boxing Day so I don’t think matters with fans or behind closed doors, it looks like Boxing Day games will be off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the virus is spreading at BMH, we probably wouldn’t be in great shape fitness wise anyway. That said, my own covid isolation just got even bleaker. F*** this s***. New tiger king is out.

I agree But at the same time think absolutely everything says cancel the games... Apart from the money... So what do you expect the PL to do?

robby b Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The Premier League has said we don't have enough players to field a team... what the?! So with self-isolation being ten days I guess our next game to go ahead should be away to Brentford on 2nd Jan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you expect the PL to do? I think Boris announcement likely next week, that decision will be taken away from the PL anyway for fans. Behind closed door games, I’m not sure, but club after club is becoming impacted so the PL don’t have a choice, they can’t play games with players that have Covid. Becomes a farce if they tell clubs they have to play whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they have special rules for footballers which would surprise me, then yes, the 2nd of Jan might be the earliest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you've been keeping up on the news, mate, but being vaccinated doesn't stop people contracting or spreading Coconut-19. So what would be the point in such a move as this?
