Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

Is that counting rondon and iwobi?

Seriously, It's a farce, end of.

Nah

"Leeds don't have 14 fit players to fulfill the fixture"

Yet managed to use 14 against us in the U23 fixture on Monday.

Really poor this.

Riechsfurer Shippmann will be dancing a luvly goose-step tonight after their games off, considering all the cryarsing he's done. Trying to mess with the league cup format now as well just to suit his team, don't be surprised to see a one legged semi final now - a disgrace.

If you don't like how things are done in the UK and our football then do one.

Were still playing boxing day with 5 positive covid cases?!?

Need to play in red to get our game off it seems - shambles.

Zero integrity left in this league season.

Wait… so do we adhere to the tried and tested “way things are done” and run our players into the ground in the midst of a new wave of a global pandemic, or do we call our game off? I’m confused.

Im just after everyone being treated fairly, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Teams should play where possible, but it seems this 14 fit players thing isnt quite right or fair to me - they could all file their teams with U23s couldn't they? Why have certain teams, with much larger squads and academies been allowed to postpone, but others haven't?

Also, we haven't really been cryarsing about fixtures and protecting the players until today, when our fair request got the postponement was knocked back.

Were also not bitchin about long standing english competitions and their formats being changed.

Wasn’t everyone crying on here last week with the little amount of time between the games over Xmas and new year compared to everyone else.

Really poor this.

Honestly how can clubs do this?

It's an international tournament which cost billions and just because it's in Africa it's seemed a lesser tournament.

The whole thing is racist.

Stating safety of the players with covid, yet 90 PL players tested positive this week in England, so its not exactly more dangerous.

Clubs just fearing the loss of African players but they dont seem to have the same issue with the Euros or Copa America etc. They sign Afrucan players knowing about the AFCON then complain.

It does smack or racism tbf

They should have been called up earlier to allow each country the opportunity to prepare correctly and safely so they can "bubble" for the tournament.

Copa, Euros and even the World Cup qualifiers have gone ahead.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Really poor this.

If the tournament is going ahead then the players should be released when the tournament stipulates not at the discretion of the clubs. This will be the pinnacle of some of those players’ careers playing in this tournament and some clubs are denying them this experience so they can pick up a few more league points.

The Euros and Copa America don't happen bang in the middle of the season though do they, so surely you can see why it's viewed differently? And it isn't 'racism'.
