Leicester postponement

[nick_waters]

Because the rules and decisions have no transparency.

It's taking the pee now seems less to do with Covid and more to do with whether teams fancy the fixture or not that isn't acceptable. I would rather the game went ahead our schedule is going to be ridiculous and we are desperate for a win

PL have said in their own rules any under 21s that played yesterday aren't classed as "available players" for PL games

This was our bench for a Premier League game last season and we weren’t able to get it called off.

 

[Blues Harp]

We have 17 players missing, and eight senior players available

Recall the afcon players then

 

[billyblue80]

It shouldn't apply to injuries also isn't this the second time this one is off?

 

[ToffeeTim]

We have 17 players missing, and eight senior players available

Yes but how many due to covid ?

You know about the AFCON at the beginning of a season so it shouldn't be a consideration

 

[billyblue80]

We should get the points automatically

 

[Grogu the blue]

We all know it will be called off! Our best chance to get 3 points like we could of got against Newcastle- premier league want them to have their full strength squads out against us. The Afcon players shouldn’t count, they all knew at the beginning of the season they would be gone for 2/3 weeks - it’s really not our problem

 

[NathDogg]

Official request gone in, the cheating shithouses. It's off, league are a joke.

In that game you had a full starting line up all of senior players, and also 2 outfield players on the bench that have started at least 1 PL game

4 more than we currently have

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

The fact Leicester were able to put out a ‘squad’ yesterday and won convincingly against a fellow Premier League side has to go against them surely?

Why can they not name the same squad and face us?

This, there was only one name on the team sheet I’d never heard of, the rest were regulars

 

[billyblue80]

Just looked at their team sheet yesterday 12 first teamers including Kasper on the bench then add in two or three of these u23s that came on, no idea how many minutes they've had but it's absurd they can play one day then call for postponement the next. EPL needs to change the rules or this season won't end

You don’t have COVID cases, it’s purely down to injuries and AFCON which is using a loophole to get out of playing

 

[billyblue80]

The rules actually state the absences have to be due to covid related reasons injuries aren't mentioned.

Because you have 5 players at AFCON.
We should feel sorry for you for having a high number of African internationals?

Yes but you know we will just have to bend over and take it.. I’d definitely want us to put an official enquiry in as for what reasons it’s postponed
