He's a u21, wouldn't need to be in the 25 man squad, which doesn't actually matter in January since the transfer window is open.

 

But he's a tawt, and we loaned someone to a League 2 side, ffs. He is touting the PL2 player of the month award like Messi is weeping that it isn't in his trophy cabinet!

You are kind of both right. He doesn't need to be the 25 man squad but equally, he's not considered as having first team experience. Therefore not eligible as one of the available outfield players with senior experience that the PL may insist the game is on. 

 

 

Oh I agree. Youth team players do not need to be in the 25 but also under this current ruling they have to have first team experience for PL to count towards 13 to get a game on

[Jobyfox]

I didn't really know where to put this, but I just wanted to have a rant somewhere about crap click bait. The very worst being: "Leicestershire Live"

 

I really hate that rag and chastise myself every time I fall for one of their shamelessly misleading headlines. They literally never have any news about Leicester City that isn't already publically available or just rehash old stories as new news. 

 

The latest: "Newcastle transfer hands Leicester City £20m boost ahead of Burnley clash". The only boost to us being that he might not be available for Burnley's next game - against us!

 

Absolute t**sers!! - I'm going to sit on my hands if I'm ever tempted to follow one of their links again. 

 

Thanks for listening ....

RE: That talk sport chap (I refuse to say his name) - I've unfollowed and muted him on twitter and my blood pressure is slowly returning to normal - I suggest you all do the same.

Blatant trolling from the talkShite guys, it should be treated with the contempt it deserves

he can play as he doesn't need to be registered but he's never played so doesn't meet the criteria for the League to force us to play

Am I correct in saying that if one of the youngsters plays for the u23s and the first team that means they can’t go on loan? You can’t play for three clubs in a season. 
 

Sure this happened with Ben Arfa or similar? It might have been clarified since

Our U23 and our first team are different clubs ?.

I’ve looked at the Ben Arfa case. He’d played for Hull on loan from Newcastle. However had 1 game for the Under 23s at Newcastle which FIFA took as an official game and meant he couldn’t play for Nice. 
 

I just didn’t know if FIFA foresee under 23s in competitive competitions like Papa John’s as a separate entity. Trying to think of a player for us who may played first team, u23 and then loan deal all in one season and I’m struggling.

no playing for the U23s and our first team would all be one club as far as that rule is concerned

Just looked Barnes and Knight have done it where playing for both teams plus a loan club. Wondered if that may have stemmed our recultance to field under 23s

Yes - he played for Newcastle and hull in the same season so couldn’t play for a third club (irrelevant whether was U23 or first team). 

 

maybe I’m miss understanding you ….

None so easy to wind up as football fans.  As repeated reaction to him all over this forum attests.

Has he driven Mr Peters into hiding on here?  That won't do.

 

Come back Geoff, we don't blame you for having co-worker(s) that reek.

If Everton fans are STILL getting on their high horse about the postponement I would ask them to think about this: We beat Liverpool with our 2nd team - We thrashed Watford with our 3rd team - would you really have wanted to be badly embarrassed by our 4th team or our Under 18s??

Lets face it, the way you're playing at the moment even our Under 12s would be favourites to beat you!  🤪

Thing is, the way we’ve playing this season and for the most part of the past 12 months I wouldn’t be confident or expect us to beat them with the seasoned senior pros/players playing in their preferred position.

 

As you say we beat Liverpool with our 2nd team, Watford with our ‘3rd team’ (if you must) again the starting 11 wasn’t that bad and we’ve played well in both - could coincidence but I’d have had more faith in those sides beating Everton.

 

As for the 3rd team point, don’t think we have one, that’s the reason we’re having to cry games off.

Why on earth do people keep saying this, it’s utter nonsense. Any of the u21’s can play as they are all registered, they are all listed on the premier league squads website. 
 

The experience rule only comes into play when we want to postpone.

you cant judge everyone on your own level babs ..............  haven't you realised this after so many years on here!

[Number 6]

The Prem have messed the rules up on these postponements to be honest. There isn't really the incentive for a team to throw an untried U23 into a game and have it played as that 1 match experience then means he contributes to the 13 available for future games which reduces future flexibility. 

[foxile5]

Can't really feel any guilt about any future postponements given the way Klopp has exploited the situation so very clearly. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Genuinely baffled as to why we're being singled out for postponing games by the media. We've got two thirds of our first team squad unavailable, which is way more than any other club at present and in fact more than some other clubs who have requested postponements.

Also, it's January. The transfer window is open. There won't even be a 25-man squad until it closes. Any registered player can play right now.

I think what AD is missing here (or purposely ignoring to fuel the fire) is if we decide to be brave as he states and play the under 23’s to fulfil the fixture then we’ve made a rod for our own back. The 4 or 5 kids we’d need to play are then classed as having Prem experience. If we then have another covid outbreak then all of a sudden we’ve got a higher threshold of players we’d need unavailable to request a cancellation. 
 

Now I’m all for playing kids and letting them gain experience but it’s a bit of a unique situation at the moment. It’s noticeable that in the cup’s Chelsea have played players like Soonsup-Bell or Lewis Hall. But they won’t get a sniff in the league because then all of a sudden if Chelsea get a Covid outbreak then they are classed as experienced enough. Everyone is rightly looking out for themselves
 

No issue with any club using the rules to their advantage. The FA need to change them for next season if they want to avoid this in the future.

 

I stopped listening to Talksport years back, just can’t stick the good cop, bad cop routine just to generate debate. There’s plenty of podcasts You can get your football fix from these days, that give actual insight without the sensationalism.

He’s not really missing it, he just expects us and us alone to play every game. We’ll

ignore the fact 18 games have been called off so far.
