Leicester postponement

[BlueStevie35]

can’t we do anything?

Outside of a fruitless appeal, no. The loophole was there to be exploited and Leicester have done just that

On the basis of quick 'research'...

Of the 25 players registered by Leicester for the PL season, 12 are injured, 2 Covid cases and 3 at AFCON (only 3 of the 4 at AFCON are registered for the PL season). That's left them with 8 PL-registered players available.

Even if the AFCON absentees are discounted (which should be the case), that's still short of PL requirements.

It's not like AFCON was a surprise. They should forfeit the match. It's pretty straightforward. COVID is the only excuse these days thats allowed and they only have 2.

Bloody Emmerdale it is then

Can't we lend them a few like Rondon and Tosun?

League is an absolute joke at this stage

Oh well….the pent up fume for the team selection, tactics etc. will have to wait until Saturday. It will be a joy to behold when it is released

They can play and beat a PL side yesterday then call off a game tomorrow.. Absurd shows the PL rules are too lax and it's being taken advantage of. They have a bunch of players at the darts. Also surely there's a limit this is the second postponement if they apply again surely we should just get the points?

Wonder what type of tests they took? Only Terence Trent Derby positive, makes me think that masking drink they take might cover covid also.

As soon as the new date was given, there were comments that there may be another postponement due to the problems at Leicester. Maybe the Premier League need to take some blame for arranging this new date.

I actually enjoy the the postponement of games more than the actual games at the moment.

Any chance of removing the word 'potential' from the thread title please mods?

Their whole story was a farce declaring a mass outbreak before testing had even taken place. Now he's saying the tests threw up a lot of false positives. People should demand he tells the Health Authority so they can investigate the propriety of the tests and scrutinise other peoples results which may also be false positives. As if that would happen...VAR declared the tests were played on by Dr J Aldridge, therefore "not offside".

We should have got that game postponed when sidibe couldn't find his sock - seems as fair a reason as the one Leicester have pulled out their ass.

Cheats, but they ain't the first and they won't be the last while this corrupt league is going - what little integrity the competition had has been flushed down the pan.
