Yet Rotherham want their game off against Barnsley tomorrow as they have 5 players positive 3 in isolation, 1 more showing symptoms, 5 players injured and a member of staff positive. The EFL have threatened them with the loss of the 3 points if they don't play, does anyone including those in charge know the rules it's a game of football for God,s sake.
 
Wow Andy, did not know that about Rotherham! What a joke......

How can they make them play, surely it creates a risk of spreading the infection????


:) :) :)
 
The E.F.L. are completely useless they aint even responded to me i asked for refund cos sats match was off. i contacted them Sat . NO answer at all they are PATHETIC.

This the same people in charge who don't lift a finger or a threat to Sheffield Wednesday who yet again are late paying wages which is against the said people in charge rules.
 
Doncaster Fleetwood game off that's 7 out of 12 in league 1 tomorrow must only be a week off running out of spare weeks to fit fixtures in league 1 in before scheduled end of season surely some kind of decision will be announced soon on the way forward. This Covid crap ain't going away it will probably be around like the flu every year until the vaccines are rolled out to hopefully send it packing and under control everything including football is chaotic.

Andyd....you are right about the ongoing problems with covid affecting every aspect of life and not just football. Unfortunately there is no easy solution and that includes vaccines. The virus has already proved that it can mutate and we will need new vaccines next year and in future tears as new strains of covid develop. I think its with us for many years to come in some shape or form. Will we ever get it under control?........ As for a decision from the EFL. I don't expect anything until May at the earliest.....but hey....what do I know!

just wonder if there are any guidelines never mind rules that clubs have to follow. one minute games ore off for 2 infections then you get this rotherham situation. its typical that league 1 seems the worst affected league for some reason or other. got to blame steve evans and his showty mate in spreading it to other clubs.

I have just been on the E.F.L,website and rung a number for supporters that it tells you too, after a few mins a voice tells you there is no one yon to talk to yon and to contact them on the i follow site, which i did last sat and have been ignored,so thats a good example of what they regard fans.:mad:

I also contacted ifollow and was informed that the payment carries over to when the match is played, so you don't lose out.

If that is the case, they should contact everybody and tell them, not let the customer contact them to find out......... rubbish customer service!

Andy - I don't think that is accurate.
Everyone at Rotherham went into isolation and are now clear.
They have one test result outstanding.
EFL medical staff can liaise with counterparts at a club, but only a club can decide whether it wishes to call a game off on medical grounds.
With respect one pending test result should not result in a cancellation.
Tell the lad concerned to stay at home.
Injuries are irrelevent.
I think their squad can cope with one missing for covid reasons...........
Game on enough said.
 
YER not as confused as me mate the E.F.L, own ifollow.plus you cannot contact i follow unless you put more money in

Wasn't what Paul Warne publicly said, and just today a bit of common sense by the club doctor at Rochdale who is a GP and worked on the Covid front as said he really questions wether football is wise to continue in the current outbreak, players being asked to travel in and out of tier 4:areas without regular testing. He says some players are worried about picking the virus up and passing it among their kids, partners or elderly relatives, why should footballers be any different from others. Game on lives put at risk?
