Colin wasn't allowed to attend the Boro game over the weekend after testing positive so what's the difference?

Premier League. Arteta getting it called off their game against City

 

[Tredman]

We get the 3 pts though if it’s called of though?

 

[Carrotdude]

Yeah didn’t they say if it gets called off due to Covid from one team they have to forfeit the match? I imagine it’ll go ahead as normal unless all of their players catch it.

 

[Tony Towner]

No that's Cup not PL games

 

[Carrotdude]

Ah ok, that makes sense. They won’t want to postpone anything unless they absolutely have to though.

 

[lemonjelly]

games have gone ahead withiout managers before though. Managers have had health issues and someone else from the management team steps in.

This is different if there is an outbreak within the squad though. If there are players plus the manager, suggests the bubble was breached somehow. Question is, does it put other squads at risk.

Assume the PL will want fictures to go ahead. Our game with City did with their team having positive tests, including during the build up.

 

[Carrotdude]

Sounds like they only found out just before the game tonight so presumably there could be a whole load more positives by the weekend

 

[BGreenWolf]

If it stops there, the match will go ahead at the weekend. If there’s a wider outbreak, it almost certainly won’t.

Arteta came down with it long before we had any of the systems in place to deal with folk coming down with the disease. It’s not the same thing today.

So Spurs game v Lorient is cancelled as Orient have to forfeit. And Spurs progress. After Jose complained about fixture congestion. And Harry Kane sponsors Orient...

Spurs were very good, they paid for the tests to be carried out.

Rumours that Portuguese doctor Jose carried out the tests are completely unfounded

Looks like the Monday night game between Liverpool & Arsenal will be moved to an 8pm kick off from 8.15 so the game is over before the pubs have to close.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

'Mon the 10 minutes of injury time

 

[Jack Regan]

Even with the 8pm kickoff and minimal injury time it's not going to finish before 21:50-21:55. Good look having everyone turfed out in around 5 minutes, especially for the fans of the losing team

Excuse me but why is Ryan Reynolds interested in buying into Wrexham?!

 

[Johnny75]

WTF?

Deadpool 3 in Wales?

 

[Alan]

I mean, why not? Maybe he just likes an underdog story.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Guarantee you won't make a success of Wrexham FC in any meaningful way.

 

[Alan]

Hey, tell him that!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The ground is a decent size. The support isn’t .

 

[Lycan]

Maybe he just really, really hates Chester.
