Re: covid outbreak at Villa
I cannot help but feel a pause to the season really is imminent at this point.

Not sure why it’s taken so long to come out , I was told about it Monday
Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Apparently 15 Villa players have it
Re: covid outbreak at Villa
We have a couple of cases too - Dyche just announced in Press Conference according to Sky Sports
Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Amazingly Grealish not one of the players who has it .

Be careful, you’re not allowed threads about crabs or std’s, especially if you’ve contracted them at an hypothetical sex party

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
I doubt a "pause" would be an option. A long term suspension until minimum March/April, or else keep going as we are with each club having a week or two off when the disease strikes as they are doing now. They're the only realistic options that I can see.jedi_master wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 3:57 pmI cannot help but feel a pause to the season really is imminent at this point.

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Agreed, by pause I didn’t mean a couple of weeks to be clear. I think you’re right in it being 2-3 months.
You have to also imagine the Euros is a disaster waiting to happen, surely it won’t be going ahead?

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
I can't imagine it will. Not a hope in hell of the vaccine target being reached by mid-February (but none of their other targets have been reached, so why should this one), and we're supposed to be ahead of the rest of Europe.jedi_master wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 4:59 pmYou have to also imagine the Euros is a disaster waiting to happen, surely it won’t be going ahead?
With the World Cup being at the backend of next year, I wonder if the Euros could run through next summer? Or, it'll be 2023 or cancelled completely, and back to normal for the Euros 2024.

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Why does the football need to be paused? Whilst retail and hospitality has closed, barring essential items, the rest of the country continues to work in one way or another.
Football and footballers are probably far better looked after than the rest of us in terms of support, safety and testing.

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Should’ve gone for a herd immunity approach amongst athletes
Re: covid outbreak at Villa
I dont think it will be off - Dyche optimistic that it goes ahead. The SD Press conference thread discusses it more

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
What is the criteria being used to determine whether clubs can postpone matches?
Man city had one game postponed after positive tests, Fulham two, yet Sheff United had to play their game against us despite players in lockdown with the virus.
Seems very hit and miss at the moment.

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Seems more than a strange coincidence that there were almost no cases before Christmas, and since the new year the cases have spiralled.
Given that all the players were in carefully controlled bubbles and were regularly checked with negative results, for it to get out of control now indicates a lot of mingling over the festive season.

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Is anyone surprised that there was mingling over Xmas and not just by Pro footballers?

Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Let’s not forget this new strain is 70% more contagious, so I’d imagine most haven’t changed much about what they are doing
Re: covid outbreak at Villa
Therein lies the biggest problem, most people haven’t done what is necessary, especially footballers at big clubsBurnley1989 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 10:12 pmLet’s not forget this new strain is 70% more contagious, so I’d imagine most haven’t changed much about what they are doing
Re: covid outbreak at Villa
The CRITERION being used is obviously the perceived size of the club. “Massive “ clubs like Man City must obviously be protected at all costs. Premier League clubs that have sneaked in through the back door and are barely tolerated have to fend for themselvesSpijed wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 9:25 pmWhat is the criteria being used to determine whether clubs can postpone matches?

tbh, I get your frustration, I feel its a little like that too. Perhaps us and Sheff Utd need to "play the system" a little more.
Re: covid outbreak at Villa
I'd hope that if we are losing first team players to the virus we have the option of postponing our game against Man U.Zlatan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 10:47 amUpdate - game on

It's one thing having to play a weakened side in the F.A. Cup but another in the PL.
Re: covid outbreak at Villa
I can't stand Grealish one bit but I certainly wouldn't wish illness on him.
