Villa Request Everton Postponement

[KaiserEFC]

We’ll make Villa forfeit and still find a way to lose the game

Getting a bit daft now isn’t it. Think it would be best to at least suspend and maybe void the season. You can’t have games postponed left right and centre and you can’t have teams having to put out their kids because they’re trying to do the right thing. Somethings got to give.

You void the season and clubs lose millions in TV money.

Rightly or wrongly its in every clubs interest to keep playing the season out.

Tough

And how comes in the FA Cup Derby had to play a reserve team with an average age of 19, they lost to Chorley which of course is well funny, but it does take the mick. If the league is running and a club cant field a team they should forfeit the game. Simple.

Villa can't keep on postponing games,pretty sure their have 3 games in hand already.

Be interesting to see if the RS are loosing what happens. Will it be voided even though they had the chance to win it last season under the exact same circumstances? Bet it Spurs are leading they will be leading the charge to get the league voided the total scum bags.

Have Villa already had 2 games postponed due to Covid outbreaks?

Noticed they’ve played 2 games less than most teams, 1 less than us.

Is there a problem with them not keeping their players safe? Or have the other postponements been down to other clubs?

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

They've obviously got numbers because they put a side out last week.

Get it played.

Ridiculous this now.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Covid is probably a smoke screen for the uber gonorrhea Grealish has spread about

 

[roydo]

Not gonna lie, I am a bit confused with all this.

But if Villa had 12 first teamers out with hammy's, no issue right?

So as long as the players on the pitch are employed by them, and are not infected/injured, whats the difference?

The Premier league needs to be investigating how closely they're following the protocols. If found to have breached they should forfeit the matches they can't play.

Because the players aren’t necessarily infected, they’re closing the training ground and stopping mixing because that’s what the government guidance is. It’s a bit unfair to not be able to play people who are theoretically fit and happy to play because you’re following the rules.

 

[Stephenlloyd]

If Percy is reporting it, it’s 100% true.
I’d quite happily call it off. With injuries and players not fully fit. And who knows if one or two more injuries happen tonight.

Next league game will be Leicester in 2 weeks and hopefully Allan and DCL back and Digne, James fitter.

 

[billybadger]

We still haven’t had an explanation from the Fa why the City game was called off have we?

....not that this is a reason they’d use to postpone, I suppose players could be infected despite providing a negative test. If that’s the case, they could easily infect the Everton camp.
