“IN FUTURE MATCHES WILL GO AHEAD WITH 14 PLAYERS INCL

New EFL guidance on the fulfilment of fixtures: "Clubs will be expected to play where it has 14 players including a goalkeeper available from the registered squad list, Under 21 players not on the squad list but have played one League match."


"Or any other contracted player not on the squad list but otherwise would have been eligible to play.”

At least that gives some clarity, although I suspect some teams may be a bit creative at times with their squad numbers

They can try but it won’t work as they’ve already submitted teams and subs that have played in matches.

Easy for the EFL to see what’s what.

About time they stopped paying players who’ve not been vaccinated and are catching it and causing matches to be called off.

Vaccinations do not stop you having covid my family had Covid and all have been vaccinated my wife had the booster too and got it.

I do not support not being vaccinated but it does not stop u having it or spreading it it hopefully stops u being so ill or die but poor old Jethro the comedian died yesterday from it and had all the vacs too.

The EFL not facing reality.
With such close contact it's inevitable playing staff who are not infected will have to self isolate.

Your last paragraph is a tad unfair! Do you have evidence of non vaccinated players spreading this? That is taking away their choice, as its up to each individual, whether they want it or not! Its not compulsory.

Did you watch the BBC news tonight.

Interviewed a senior Nurse in icu and she said most of the people who were ill in her hospital were not vaccinated and in her words made her feel anger towards these people for not being vaccinated.

Yes it’s their choice and if they don’t want to have the vaccine and get ill then stay at home and fight it. Your less likely to need hospital treatment if you’ve had the vaccine that’s a fact.

So what’s your point?

I’m on about people who don’t have it or want the vaccine then being admitted to hospital!

Definitely Karl hit them in the pocket all they care about is money no bothered about infecting people

Seems a bit ridiculous this wasn’t decided at the start of the season. Likewise with the PL, some clubs being allowed to postpone games and others are not with no transparency why.

No, you're not. You're bitching about unvaccinated footballers spreading it which is then cancelling football matches. Lay off the news pal it's filling your head full of shit.

Good advice for everyone and anyone that to be fair, Nubbsy.

Premier League: Covid-19 outbreaks mean four more of weekend's games called off -

Half of the weekend's Premier League fixtures are now off after four more games were postponed because of Covid-19 outbreaks.

The latest games affected are Southampton v Brentford, Watford v Crystal Palace, West Ham v Norwich and Everton v Leicester.

Earlier on Thursday, Manchester United's match with Brighton on Saturday was called off, along with Leicester City's game with Tottenham on Thursday, which is part of the league's midweek programme.

On Wednesday Brentford boss Thomas Frank called for this weekend's top-flight fixtures to be postponed to let clubs deal with the outbreaks but the Premier League is so far resisting that.

"All other fixtures due to be played this weekend are currently scheduled to proceed as planned," it said in a statement.

Liverpool players Fabinho, Curtis Jones and Virgil van Dijk will also miss Thursday's match with Newcastle after suspected positive tests, although manager Jurgen Klopp said that the club did not ask for a postponement.

"Honestly, I think at one point we have to make clear what exactly the rules are, but of course with three players out and this squad we wouldn't have asked to not play a football game," he told BT Sport.

I think Drakeford should take over the running of the EFL

Nice to see a poster that can put aside prejudices we all have, to be objective.

I don't know how many people an average footballer would meet in a week, be it opposing players, the actual squad training together, coaches, media etc. It's significantly more than the general population

Disapointed by that comment, but i'm not one that says mods can't have an opinion.

Nobody knows the vaxination status of the infected players so some need a rethink in the morning. We all make posts we regret if you make a lot of them. Igovenor and PulisNewport should apologise imo

Where is the comment where nubbsy was called a w*nker by the op who created this mess? that comment was relevant to show what weight their opinion actually carries

Championing Civil rights and supporting personal choice is a very very outdated model of governance, now with this killer disease with a motality rate 3-4 times above seasonal flu.

It's unpalatable to talk about, but we all have to consider an acceptable mortality rate the general population can live beside it. COVID is here to stay with it's abudance of mutations being spawned, this lab leak different to anything going round naturally.

Protect yourself as you see fit, organize you're life around preventing contraction, then spread. Make the decisions yourself. DO NOT BLAME OTHERS Blaming unvaxxed for spread, the gov shows no bottom line to how low it can go. People should be concerned. Where is the proof? You right to point out the facts.

Lay off the news pal it's filling your head full of shit.

Spot on.

‘did you watch the BBC news tonight’ …. Whoosh!!
