I'm not sure how they can expect Covid hit squads to play two games in three days. Yeah I get the logic definitely, at the same time though, teams that have been hit early with loads of games in hand would seem silly to postpone more and create more congestion. Can see why they couldn’t reach a consensus on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see why they couldn’t reach a consensus on it If for example a team is able to fulfill their Boxing Day fixture with the minimum 13 outfield players and goalkeeper, their game on 28th December should be postponed. That would be the common sense thing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 The outfield players thing will get daft if someone ends up fielding an 11 without a single defender or midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Again, how do some games get called off and ours still goes ahead??? We have 8 players out with covid and if we can still field a side why can't others?? Really don't understand the criteria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sides always benefit from their games getting moved for TV at this time of year. Get rid of the game between Boxing Day and New Year.

Agreed, or just have everyone play on the same day, but have the games on 26th, 29th and NYD if they really want to squeeze that game in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the FA haven't published their criteria yet is a joke. Because going off this we don't have 14 senior outfield players available. Unless you count any 17 year old that's made a Premier League appearance (Onyango, Dobbin, Simms and Branthwaite) as senior players but then we're getting penalised for having a bad enough injury crisis earlier in the year to lead to this.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,660 Posted December 23, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 23, 2021 As I suspected. Teams that have a small squad or get ravaged by injuries and are forced to play youth players then take double jeopardy when they get hit with Covid because those youth players count as senior players. Premier League really isn't arsed about credibility is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,271 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Can all the teams not just refuse? Surely the Premier League have to give into the clubs if they go on strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,916 Posted December 23, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 23, 2021 I do think the fixture between Boxing Day and New Years Day is a bit ridiculous. I've never understood how at any point in the season you can't play twice in three days yet they just do it here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
