Wish the player a full recovery.
A worrying trend is beginning to emerge here.

Got the same feeling ffsMalabus wrote:What a load of s#!t. Suspend the season and get my money back. I've had enough now. Orient will be off too.
Feck the lot of it.

As I said on the other thread two postponements within a few days and cases rising across the country, this is going to become a more regular occurrence unless something can be done. Only way out of this is regular testing for all players and that needs funding.

Doesn't bode well for the season. How long until the fixture pile-up becomes untenable, or is it now just a case of playing as many games as possible, to get some revenue, before the whole season is abandoned? If we need to rely upon the players (of all clubs) to keep socially distanced, then I think we're screwed!
Yep, screwed, I agree.tunnelvision wrote:Doesn't bode well for the season.

Interesting to see if their game will be postponed.

Better that this is called off rather than Cod testing positive after the game which would have risked our players having to self isolate.
I can see some clubs - Peterborough the most likely candidate - to keep positive tests secret and play infected players in games without telling anyone.

Minimal contact amongst players essential. Testing should be routine. Problem is at Governmental level, total incompetence and ineptitude unfortunately. Their philosophy is to avoid using The Public Sector’ which would have been markedly more efficient and successful.

I also don't see why the Prem & EFL have different rules. West Ham have two players and the manager testing positive yet their game goes ahead. Why?
Thats a good point actually. If everyone else tested negative why not just remove said infected player and get on with it?tunnelvision wrote:I also don't see why the Prem & EFL have different rules. West Ham have two players and the manager testing positive yet their game goes ahead. Why?
I guess to do with incubation period ? but yes lets have some consistency !Horteng wrote:Thats a good point actually.

With an incubation period around 5 days, testing doesn’t work like Kier Starmer suggests. It’s much better to isolate everyone.Horteng wrote:Thats a good point actually.

That's quite a bold statement, on what do you base it?RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:I can see some clubs - Peterborough the most likely candidate - to keep positive tests secret and play infected players in games without telling anyone.
Any skullduggery like this would be more enticive if for example Cheltenham were to draw Man Utd in the third round of the Cup with TV money at stake. Teams with a Covid have to hand the tie to their opponents - no postponements, no game, no money.
When cases are high I can see it becoming a later and later call, as Covid teams hang on to to see if their opponents make the same announcement before them.

The corporate culture at Cheltenham would not endorse that or allow it happen.

The reverse is true for Peterborough, based on the vile persona projected by Darragh MadAnthony. Half his Twitter feed is pro-Trump stuff from Florida, so one doubts he has any qualms about lying and cover up for self-interest.
To compare the likes of Peterborough United to Cheltenham Town is an insult to Cheltenham Town.

Not keen on Peterborough but their money is helping us stay afloat.

Aren’t you out with your nutjob conspiracy mates in London to watch David Icke, Mal?
