keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 15, 2021 EPL have already turned teams down. Unless you are Manure of course. Team with a massive squad can't carry on but everyone else can. Even though most businesses would probably close if there was an outbreak in a factory or office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted December 15, 2021 Genuinely interested in what the criteria is here. Is it just COVID injuries which count, or is based upon the number of available players and staff who then have to isolate as a result of the cases? Or a mixture? We had 5 out with COVID in total yesterday (I think that's what I heard yesterday but could be wrong). Does anyone know the extent of the Man U and Spurs losses? (I'm aware I could've looked all of this stuff up but I am being lazy) Would be great to have a game or two postponed. Particularly with the non-COVID injuries such as Rashica and Normann.

duke63 541 Posted December 15, 2021 Man U had 4 with covid I heard. But obviously they couldn’t afford to lose to a newly promoted team so best it was postponed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted December 15, 2021 Man U and Spurs covid infections in numbers has not ever been disclosed, at least to my knowledge. Just that a number of players and Staff were infected. Closing the training centre was a masterstroke to influence PL to cancel Bees match. I believe PL has put a number on the number of players who need to be infected for club to have games postponed, it was a silly number about 11 leaving a squad of 14 to play. What numbers of those affected by covid names were not revealed by either Spurs or man U which is questionable. Other clubs reveal the names like us with Tzolis, Sargent, Rupp and 2 others, no staff advised, Brighton with 4 or 5 out are still expected to play this week. Therefore we will be expected to turn out team against W Wham, injuries will not be included in PL consideration for calling off. Need more to go sick before PL will consider Norwich postponing fixture. Who really cares about them they are bottom and will soon be relegated and of no concern.

fredherring 136 Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Webber and Smith will probably have been getting the covid positive lads to breathe into the Colney aircon. Anything to get sat called off. Incidentally, record cases today. Exponential rise! 200k yesterday! At that rate of growth we will all have had it by new year. People dying allover the place? Panic justified? You effing sheep.

Newtopia 517 Posted December 16, 2021 It has been clear that COVID has affected the smaller clubs more than the big boys. Not sure if that is because they play the rules better or because their squads are larger and the quality is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted December 16, 2021 I think it is very plausible we could see a stop-gap activated and sporting fixtures postponed over the Christmas period which would be a real shame. I think games behind closed doors is probably going to be a reality heading into January if figures inevitably keep rising as they are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
