Pre Match Leicester City v Tottenham - POSTPONED

Ok. Next time we win 4-0 at home; cancel all travel arrangements.

I was just making a similar comment to Mrs Boc

Postponing the games is obviously the right choice.

But selfishly, I hope this doesn't lead to a massive pause in the season again. Having football on through the previous lockdowns was a massive help in getting through it and breaking up the monotomy!

Exactly. We watched every film during the last one so without football it'll just be talking to eachother.....and I do mean every film, even managed 30 minutes of that Zohan thing with Adam Sandler.

Two more positive City players. One rumoured to be Albrighton.

I've seen speculation that the other two games will go ahead this evening and then all football will be suspended until Boxing Day.

Sources: PL clubs push for shutdown until 2022

A number of clubs are pushing for a Premier League shutdown until the new year amid the growing coronavirus crisis, sources have told ESPN.

An increasing number of clubs are pushing for a shutdown of the Premier League until the new year in an attempt to deal with the growing coronavirus crisis, sources have told ESPN.

Premier League chiefs have been informed that with rising case numbers being fuelled by the omicron variant, there would be support for suspending games until the weekend of Jan. 8-9, when FA Cup third-round ties are due to take place.

Good!

Good!

Wonder when the games would get moved to? Extra fixtures in Jan/Feb?

Interesting for teams losing players to AFCON - imagine then having extra games in that period. Although I wonder if clubs might use it as a way to get out of releasing players for AFCON, or if that will even go ahead.

Man Utd v Brighton on Saturday has been postponed.

There was talk on the radio over here yesterday that it will be cancelled.

The dominos are starting to fall now.

No Christmas/New Year football incoming imo.

 

[popillius]

They'd still test positive regardless of if they're unvaccinated or not so vaccinated or not doesn't change too much here imo.

That's not the point I was making. They're still complete ****s nonetheless.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Shame if we shut it all down. Would've been the last crazy old-school Christmas period before the nnew winter break rules.

Oh here I was thinking you were making a relevant point to the subject matter as opposed to just ranting about your belief that everyone who chooses to not vaccinate is a ****.

Everyone who chooses not to vaccinate is a ****. Including footballers.

There, is that clearer for you?

No. It was already clear to me that you believe this. It wasn't clear whether you were trying to make a relevant point or just ranting, though. This is has since been cleared up though - you were just ranting. Hope you got it out of your system big guy.

But it doesn't stop them catching it.

Even if all players had 2/3 jabs we could still be in the same situation were are now.

This doesn't mean the postponements are the wrong thing to do though.

True. But Pop wasn't debating this, he was just ranting.

I don't think the postponements are wrong. I just will kind of (crazily) miss this hectic Christmas period. No postponements will affect the results of matches, and ultimately the EOS table.

Look up 'rant'.

Also, 'relevant'.

My post was more aimed at Pop as I don't understand the point of his rant too.

I just added the last line on to pre empt anyone trying to label me some anti vac nut job.

Imo, more info is needed before we can say if Omicron is a serious danger or not. Early signs are positive in suggesting it may not be so lethal but whilst it still remains uncertain, caution is the right way to proceed right now.

If AFCON is cancelled, the World Cup will be in serious question. Will Fifa release their cash cow easily?
