Just read our game is off
-
Where did you read it?
-
Chris Kamara's twitter but I've not seen it officially anywhere as of yet.
-
Definitely off on Rovers twitter
-
Unfortunately it is;

-
That will probably affect Tuesdays game and next Saturdays game
-
Let’s hope all the the players who are displaying symptoms will be ok. So we could see the next 4 games being postponed up to the 5th Jan .

It would also see Peterborough have another game called off, it also prevents us having 5 away games on the bounce
-
Does this mean we forfeit the FA Cup tie?
-
The 10 days will have passed before the FA Cup tie so players should be available. Although they won’t have had much training before the game.
-
6 lege one games off so far
-
We could be seeing a lot of this over the next month or so. Let's hope those with the virus and those displaying symptoms make a full and speedy recovery!
-
I'm of course happy for clubs to be cautious and not take the risk but how come recently clubs have been calling games off when they have a couple of positive tests in the group, whereas before clubs were playing even if they had a few?
Disappointing news anyway, leaves a big hole in the middle of my Boxing Day!
-
2020, the gift that keeps on giving.
-
If all the other players get tested and come back negative no reason why they cannot play Tuesday
-
Wolves have blocked their players going to the supermarket in a bid to reduce their risk of contracting coronavirus.
-
What even Neto ?
-
Spoilt my Boxing Day big time. Bad enough not being allowed in the ground but can’t even see the match on i player either.
This could be a very long season. Think we will still be playing well into June.

Get ready for the season being cancelled early. Are people still deluding themselves that this f*cking virus will ever be gone? It's mutating itself and just getting stronger all the time.
Regarding vaccines, does anyone seriously think that this government can organise the logistics of vaccinating 50 million people over the next year?
The only thing to eradicate this virus would be a worldwide martial law lockdown, but no country's going to agree to that, so it will be the same old stop start, stop start sh*t that we've had for the last 9 months.
Get ready for more years of this misery.

Give me a reason at the moment for it to be half full.

Viruses always mutate, that's what they do. This one hasn't become 'stronger' but it is transmitting more easily.
What tends to happen with viruses is they mutate and become less dangerous. A virus that is more dangerous and kills the host more efficiently isn't going to last long.
Like Spanish flu, it's likely that this virus will eventually change and disappear off the radar. It's just a question of time.

Well they've done half a million in 2 weeks. Not even got half the venues and oxford vaccine in play yet as well.
I fully expect England v Scotland to have 80k plus at Euro 2020

Depends how the vaccinations are played hopefully once key workers and high risk people are vaccinated things can start opening up more. Really hope we don't go down the line of until 100% of the population are vaccinated then it's essentially lockdown for all.
Specifically with football seems like these guys should be the least at risk from spread so you'd like to think we can get to a point where just those testing positive don't play rather than the game been called off. Given the age of footballers they'll be among the last to be vaccinated so if we don't start taking a less all or nothing approach this stop start will likely be ongoing well in 2022
-
of the football,authorities really got their thinking caps on then the lower leagues could play even into the Europe Nations competition time ..why not.. our football is for the communities important to respect .

How come that Man City reported Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus were self isolating (or tested positive maybe) ... and Sky Sports News said (this morning) so they will miss the next 3 games - rather than saying so Man City cant play for 20 days
Is it a squad size thing - or what ?

or maybe just being realistic on how things are panning out?

Depends on how many players in a squad have got Covid, if it's just two then you're still able to play. The issue with us is we need to test to find out if there's more in the squad with it before we can play but if there is then it's likely a few of our games are off.
-
It's clearly gotten around the league one teams, I do wonder if some group of players or one club somewhere have been lax and led to it spreading it around.
I still think it's silly that the EFL or PFA haven't paid to make sure every team gets tested weekly at least.
-
That does seem to be a potentially likely reason RA.
Don’t the PL players get tested routinely on a regular basis.
-
Premier League get tested twice a week
-
I saw a piece on the bbc website a few days ago in which Paul Lambert of Ipswich suggested that the EFL are putting lives at risk with the scarcity of testing of lower league players.

100%? We have at least 3 on the is Forum who won't be getting vaccinated

Whilst testing affords some level of comfort, it’s just a moment in time. You can walk out of a room where you are tested and catch it. Player tests negative before a match, but then catches it off someone who is backroom staff, official, media or anyone else at the match who has not been tested. I do not believe everyone who attends a behind closed door game is tested? The security individual manning the players entrance for instance.
This virus is proving time and again, that our efforts may reduce its spread, but we are certainly no where near stopping its spread.

Apparently, Raven, it's around 20% of the population who won't be getting vaccinated, leaving the 80% that's needed for herd immunity, getting their jabs. That's around 50 million.
Like I said, that's asking a lot of this bungling government to achieve, or any government for that matter.

He also mentioned a circuit breaker. I reckon that'd be a decent idea till at least Jan 23rd. Stop training till the 18th.

Having accompanied my mum for her first jab on Christmas eve at Adwick Leisure centre, I can say first hand the operation they have there is second to none. The NHS staff and volunteers who deliver the roll out programme have no interest in cheap political points scoring and just get on with the task in hand.
The real game changer will be the Oxford vaccine which will mean they can ramp up the roll out as they are not limited to where they can deliver it.
Every injection is a step towards where we want to be. Maybe you should praise the government on this one as we've got ahead of the game.

That could be a big help.
It would also give clubs the midwinter break that some want.

Everton Man City now off - extra Man City players involved

I just saw on the local evening news that Rotherham have been told that unless they play their fixture tomorrow they will face a possible points deduction.
I’m sure I heard Paul Warne say that they have only had a nine day break instead of the ten day that has been recommended.
Maybe Paul Lambert was on to something earlier this week.

Yes, I heard that too and does sound strange why they would be threatened with a points deduction.
Kind of increases the frustration of the inaction of the Bolton case last season. Player welfare? Which is the most genuine case?
There's maybe more than meets the eye?

Just had a tweet from a Millers fan who said that the EFL had instructed rufc to bring a player back from isolating a day early, to be on the bench!
I can’t see it, myself, but who knows.

There has to be something more to that story

possible that if the league gets cancelled no tv or advertisement money gets paid to the EFL
