The premier league will want to protect that for their tv schedules …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 8 December 2021 Share Posted 8 December 2021 (edited) 55 minutes ago, Leicesterpool said: The big question is have the players been sticking to the restrictions are social distancing, if there partying twice a week then it's very difficult to reduce the risk of catching the virus. There are no rules currently. The only difference at the moment left is that the zone around the changing rooms and pitches has a very select number of people allowed in it. This has been the reasoning they maintained post match interviews outside on the pitch. Training grounds are free for all's when it comes to walking around. They are perfectly allowed to do what they want currently socially; as many people as possible are allowed in their house for example. The PL were happy to let Man City call off games last season despite overwhelming evidence they had a number of players who broke rules.

The majority of players would have been eligible for their second vaccine in August which means the efficiency of their existing vaccination is substantially waned (as per myself).

coolhandfox Posted 8 December 2021 Share Posted 8 December 2021 Part of me thinks it may benefit us to see it postpone and have some time on the training pitch to address our issues. However, I don't think the PL will be keen. Spurs already have the Burnley game to fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can nail it with enough effort? Or at least improve a bit?? He's no better or worse than most keepers, Ederson isn't the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need a strong side.. anyone who can swing in crosses, take corners or free kicks into our box... guarantees them a minimum of two goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnfox Posted 8 December 2021 Share Posted 8 December 2021 The Spurs game will definitely be postponed. The Premier League won't want a repeat of what happened in Portugal last week when Benfica's opposition were only able to field 9 players, including two goalkeepers. The match was abandoned after Benfica were 7-0 up at half time and only 7 opposition players emerged for the second half. One of them went down injured and then there weren't enough players on the pitch and the game had to be called off. Embarrassing spectacle. The game should never have been started.

It would help people to consider how and if they are likely to be infected even if they've had the vaccine(s). 4 hours ago, davieG said: Oh I know but it would be interesting to see, we've heard of some players not getting vaccinated, if they are all fully vaccinated they might indicate how vulnerable people still are when in close quarters with a group of people.. If any are not vaccinated are we going to see some of them suffer really badly. I just think it could gives a picture of susceptibility. Of course it could be counter productive with the anti vax saying well it doesn't work anyway. I know the jab doesn't stop you from getting or spreading but going forward could they not put a rule in place that if players testing positive haven't been jabbed (Without valid reason) then there are no grounds for postponement?
