Everton (A) | Game Postponed

[Doctor Jimmy and Mr Jim]

To be fair they put out a statement but it didn't suit the gobshite narrative and was drowned in foam

Ha ha...oh f*ck. I hadn't seen that PP! However, I wouldn't call it transparency and they don't seem to have given Everton the full details, which (IMHO) I think they are entitled to, even if told privately. If they had the full information - and we don't know whether they had or they didn't - we may have got an Everton statement similar to that of Villa. My summary ....the PL were underwhelming. Again. To put it mildly.

Moaning about having 4 hours, I drove to a home match against Sunderland that was called off for dangerous wind like 2 hours before.

Me too.

I agree.

Health above all else and the correct decision was made.

However, if I was a business expecting to meet another business and there was a medical reason why that meeting could not go ahead, I’d prefer to be told as soon as humanly possible before I make arrangements and travel to that meeting.

Everton don’t just unlock the gates at Goodson an hour before kick off.

Apparently 22 fellas just turn up at goodison at 7.30 to kick a ball.

Looking at the PL statement you reported and requested the postponement this morning, but we apparently got informed at 4pm - im sorry but how anyone can think thats acceptable by the PL.

Maybe if we were notified early enough or consulted by the PL we could have agreed and planned accordingly.

Manchester City lodged a request with the Premier League today to rearrange the match following an increase in positive COVID-19 test results received by the club this morning, on top of the cases reported on Christmas Day.

imagine Peps reaction if it was the other way round?

dissapointed in Lampard.. thought he had a bit of class

He's a Tory, so sees this pandemic as a chance to be exploited rather than a national disaster.

what have Villa said

Their statement when their game with the Barcodes was called off. Basically said the PL told them what had happened, they understood and wished them all the best for a speedy recovery.

Short and to the point as per usual

It made me laugh. He reminds me of a few lads I drank with in Wythenshawe and Manchester in my misspent youth. You could give them all a few million and they'd never change, Liam is the same.

Didn't see it myself until half hour ago! Until I did I had similar sympathy regarding Everton being kept in the loop. Not sure what more they could have said in the circumstances.

Quote on p105

 

[Cityinmud]

Pundits and journalists are slowly pushing the narrative that the game should now be forfeit - Gary Neville among them. An interesting stance to take as next time a team does have positive covid cases, they should then ignore the health advice from the government and just play - in an effort to avoid punitive measures.

They should just fuck right off.
