The Footie Thread

[Liverbirdie]

Yep, just need a "*** bloke" panel that sits each monday! Fans can send anything they want in to be reviewed, diving, feigning injury, managers throwing players back on the pitch etc

Any player that fails the test gets warned first time, suspended for 1 game, 3 games, 10 games etc going forward. Be rid of it in no time

I'd say "ushered" more than thrown, although in subjective football decisions, it depends on your bias.

Listening to Klopp last night and again today (although the spurs presser was recorded last night) I’m convinced he thinks we’re playing Shrewsbury on Wed and not Leicester.

The man gives zero shits about the English cup competitions ? ?‍

You think we only won because of Dean’s incompetence? Really? ?

Of course not - I meant the first goal

French football fans at it again.....

Matches being cancelled. Apparently 25% of players refuse to get jabbed ?

Yes only two games left in the PL
Ironic really when you need a COVID passport to get in the ground.

That refers only to EFL players, EPL players are not included in that statistic.

Heard some stats on a podcast yesterday & Premier league players jabbed are way down on the rest of Europes top leagues for some reason.

On a positive note with the footie cancelled. I won’t have to scroll through ten pages of “Groundhog Day“ re a couple of teams not playing ??

Short notice postponements are ridiculous.

The right decision probably, but the timing is daft. Should have just postponed the whole calendar for 2 weeks

I would be surprised if that is not the decision after Mondays prem team meeting
Edit to say this is what Jonathon Pearce had to say
In my opinion, the league missed out on an opportunity. If they had called every game off from Wednesday night onwards, it would have given a 10-day isolation period before the Boxing Day matches.
Just had a look, City have 3 games to play from 25th to new year. They could all be cancelled. A stitch in time could of saved nine.

Albeit almost every so called medical expert has said a small circuit break to the football will do nothing to ensure they can play in 2 weeks time

Or do we ignore the scientists for Jonathon Pearces opinion when it suits?

It's irrelevant which league, the sentiment is the same.

Don’t know who the medical experts are and there is not a guarantee that it would allow football on Boxing Day. But carrying on as we are sure ain’t the answer. Ask one of the 2,000 Burnley fans that made there way to Villa today. Am sure they would agree and none of them Are experts

Or a negative Covid test

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Or a negative Covid test

Which is a load of bollocks. It should be No jab, no entry and that includes players.

 

[pokerjoke]

Why do we have to come onto this thread and see the same people swearing every time.
Can you not read the forum rules Stu or do you feel you are above them.

10/10 for Martinelli staying on his feet there when he could've gone down. And got his reward. Fantastic finish.
