Billy the Kidd Posted 16 December, 2021 Posted 16 December, 2021 Why don’t we go back to no crowds for a month, all games on tv? I hope we do have our game on Saturday, we had loads out last season and no one gave a fuck. Hell, Mike Dean was frothing one off at Utd with the decisions he gave that evening. 1

Expand In that one the big club had the trouble, united had the outbreak. If Brighton had an outbreak and United were fine to play it'd be interesting to see how the premier league judged it. I will say though, it was a little tongue in cheek, I don't think the big club bias is that blatant, but I do think Rodgers has a bit of a point. The prem definitely has cash cows it doesn't want to upset.
LiberalCommunist Posted 16 December, 2021 Posted 16 December, 2021 Oh well. At least we get a bit of recovery for the pile up fixtures. Well, unless the shit hits the fan and we're on lockdown!
Colinjb Posted 16 December, 2021 Posted 16 December, 2021 Last game I bought tickets for around family commitments was Norwich away...... In 2020. Decided that this game would be perfect before Christmas...... I'm clearly bad luck.
TWar Posted 16 December, 2021 Posted 16 December, 2021 Postponed not the worst thing for us. Will give some time for Che and the Armstrongs to get fit and maybe a keeper, although Willy looked OK last game. 1

saint lard Posted 16 December, 2021 Posted 16 December, 2021 (edited) Lots of games now being called off for the weekend. 5 thus far. 3 Liverpool players test positive for tonight’s game inc VVD. And 3 at Chelsea now too. Edited 16 December, 2021 by saint lard
DT Posted 16 December, 2021 Posted 16 December, 2021 It’s not a bad one to have as one to still play. Could be pretty winnable further down the line when we get reinforcements and if they get injuries

JRM Posted 16 December, 2021 Posted 16 December, 2021 In the old days if you couldn't field a team you forfeited the match. Should be the same, 3-0 win awarded to Saints.
