Leicester postponement

[ForestBlue]

I would want a full explanation from the PL detailing exactly why the game was postponed with exact numbers on covid, afcon and injuries and at what precise point that number or, combination of those, exceeded any limits that could get this or any game postponed.

If the PL then say they treat each request on its own merit then we should sue!

Does this mean the next time we face an awkwardly timed fixture we can just make up an injury crisis and get it postponed? Hope we take the piss with it tbh.

 

[blue to the bone]

This isn't on Leicester. Or on us letting it happen . It's on the Premier league having no definite rules and letting this develop.

Pathetic charity club. May as well get relegated and play football in the EFL rather than bow down to these pathetic idiots
These games against Newcastle and Leicester will bite us

How’s it the club’s fault exactly? We’re the ones being done out of gate revenue and stock loss twice because of a dodgy loophole by a corrupt league

Them Leicester players going the darts,I wonder if that contributed to the covid

 

[lieneverton]

Just because there's a loophole doesnt mean its ethical to use it.

A total irrelevance to be honest. It's there so they've exploited it.

They’re allowed to live their lives you know

and this is exactly what we should do.

If we were to go down then couldn't we now make a case for unfair competition?

You can't allow us to play away to Chelsea with the massively depleted team we had or the majority of our games october/November. Then allow Leicester to get back to full strength when they have players gone to afcon. I mean surely the club have to do something about this

Everton SHOULD do something about it. They should kick up a massive stink about it, and make it public. But they won’t, they’ll just roll over and get their bellies tickled and not say a peep about it. Because we’re run by a bunch of spineless meffs.

They should of made a rule in the summer, ibet the TV companies arnt too happy either that are losing games.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The African cup being part of the consideration is just totally ludicrous. You know it is happenning before the season so there is no excuse for not being prepared

 

[johnjoeefc]

Dewsbury-Hall is an injury, Soumare has been reported as "illness" so wouldn't be surprised if he has Covid

I wanted the game to go ahead, but expected it would be postponed anyway

This isn't on Leicester. Or on us letting it happen . It's on the Premier league having no definite rules and letting this develop.

I agree. I don't blame Leicester for trying but the idea it was accepted is laughable. The club need to press the Premier league for answers here.

And we must start doing the same thing next time we have injuries and international call ups at a time that isn't convenient.

AFCON excuse is taking the mick.

There needs to be a covid threshold. 5 cases for example.

Otherwise it is just normal football, with injuries and international duty, and you have to deal with it by playing kids.

 

[4737carlin]

They’re allowed to live their lives you know

O yeah for sure, but then play the game and accept it as the normal

Don’t hold your breath
