[The Future’s Blue!]

Money, money, money, this was once a sport.

They wanted to postpone but Everton said they couldn't so had to play.

That was only because they'd not been kept informed.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Next time the rags are 4 down at half time like they were v Liverpool. watch them come out with only 7 players saying all the rest including the subs went town will some illness at half time

Yeah, constipation.

Looks like the decision to play the match was even more stupid than it was already.

Omicron variant outbreak at Belenenses

Thirteen players at Beleneses, whose match against Benfica was abandoned in farcical scenes on Saturday, test positive for Covid variant Omicron.

One of their players had been to South Africa to play for the national team in the recent international break.

FIFA and UEFA don’t give a toss about Covid, do as we say and travel all over the globe to play stupid European competitions and pointless international matches.

This sort of situation has been waiting to happen from CV's first appearance.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

One of the Belenenses players going down with an injury - down to 6 men and the game probably forfeited.
What a fucking circus it is!

But this is par for the course for football in the hands of 'administrators' - fuckin' clueless at the best of times.

Colin Viljoen? That was over 40 years ago!!

 

[Petetheblu]

17 players and staff tested positive for COVID-19.

Portuguese League made them start with 9 including 2 goalkeepers.

Currently 7-0 down to Benfica at half time.

Just seen Bernardo tweet about it:


'What is this? Am I the only one who doesn't understand why the game hasn't been postponed?'


Where's the common sense?


Edit: Match Abandoned due to insufficient players, came out with 7 players 2nd half, player went down 'injured'.

Gutted it was postponed as the tea lady started to look good in net and the ball boy at CB was growing into his new role.
