I think they can, just carrying on as we have been but no full list of postponements. Case-by-case basis to continue but the clubs will need to be diligent about the protocols- no more outbreaks will be tolerated, maybe isolated cases from now on.

Yes - be the usual self interests and be clubs who can have a 13 man squad and still be pretty useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that Arsenal may fancy him as Aubameyang and maybe also Laca may not be at Arsenal next season I’m not sure if it’s the arsenal way really. I’d imagine they would go for an already established name. It’s the same reason clubs had doubts over edouard for so long, he hasn’t exactly proved everyone wrong at this stage. I suggested him a fair while ago in the transfer section, as the fact he also plays on wing means if he’s great, we don’t get stuck in a daka/ him scenario.

I’ve got an argument for you here. I am all for scrapping fa cup replays but with a new rule in place. If the game is tied after 90 the lower league opposition progresses to the next round. same division then pens. That extra game could keep a club lower in the pyramid afloat... so if they get their tie they will still get their next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon in any game, regardless of division that club plays in and against, it just goes to penalties after a draw. Forget extra-time. Just 90mins then penalties if a draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom of speech is one thing, but I don't think you should be allowed to spout this shit.

Hoopla10 Posted 20 December 2021 Share Posted 20 December 2021 Strikes Omicron has changed the game. So Vaccine Passports aren't going to be as effective (even though they still have an impact as this isn't binary), Not surprised they made no changes to the fixtures. There are no adults in the room anymore. I'd be interested to know how clubs have voted because I don't think this is about the big clubs as we're seeing with Liverpool and Chelsea. Both I should imagine desperate for their games to be called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not on telly, it doesn't make huge amounts of money as the gate receipts have to be split. Slightly different competition but Barrow mentioned it was only when Villa gave them their cut on their recent League Cup tie, it made a real difference because of all the extra staffing costs for the larger crowd (ticketing, stewarding, catering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i'm pointing out is: if 'authorities' demand games are played behind closed doors, they are in effect stating that vaccine passports dont work, which in turn implies the vaccine doesnt work. I actually agree with all you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should your workplace be punished for having staff unvaccinated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
