Would we be allowed to postpone our U23 game tonight in order to have to play tomorrow?

“ Burnley Football Club can confirm it has made an application to the Premier League for the postponement of Tuesday night’s match at home to Watford.
The decision was reluctantly made to submit the application due to a high number of injuries and Covid-19 cases within the squad.
The Premier League Board will meet later today to review the application and inform both clubs of its decision. ”

It’ll be chaos at the end of the season when all the matches are supposed to kick off at the same time and clubs are trying to get games postponed.

Re: So is the Watford game on ?
So we all know from the results this season that we've not been good enough on the pitch. Now we're not even good enough to actually step onto the pitch.
It is not impossible for us to put a team out - whether that's u20-whatevers or senior players. It is a disgrace that we want another game postponed. Just like Saturday was a disgrace too. When will we see our team again? When will we stop being scared to go onto the pitch?

All getting very very boring very very quickly now this rubbish. Not just Burnley the whole thing in general. Injuries or AFCON should be nowhere near the thinking when games are being considered for postponement.

Re: So is the Watford game on ?
I fully agree with you, but it felt a conceited media campaign against us when the Leicester game was postponed. It was particularly interesting considering the way we have been adversely affected by postponements previously against teams with all their best players unavailable (Everton and Watford specifically). Barely a word said then.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 3:01 pmYou would like to imagine nobody takes notice of an arsehole like Adrian Durham and whatever he has said

Re: So is the Watford game on ?
Where have I said it was worse than the opposition postponements? These games could have all been played - there are enough players at all clubs that can be put on the pitch and play a football match. Cancelling games 2 hours/a day before/2 days before all the time is cynical and has completely ruined this season. As a football fan who wants to actually watch matches that I have paid for it is a disgrace how we're being treated by all these clubs. Including ours.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 2:59 pmWhy was it a disgrace on Saturday? Was that worse than the three games ruled out because of the opposition?

Re: So is the Watford game on ?
Matterface said it was a “joke that we hadn’t ‘Planned for Wood going’ someday with that clause in his deal and not got a new signing through the door” and then went off on a totally irrelevant tirade about ALK’s ownership.
Durham was questioning why we are asking for games to be postponed when we chose to sell Wood for £25m making our numbers ever smaller. He was reminded it was a release clause (which he didn’t believe) and then, again, asked why we hadn’t signed a replacement in the 3 days since we sold him.

Re: So is the Watford game on ?
From what I understand Covid tests were done this morning and presumably this request has been made following a batch of positive results.
That's about the only positive thing coming out of the club at the moment.

If they allow Arsenal to call off a game because of 1 covid case and Everton to call a game off because some of their players slept awkwardly, then they have to allow our request

Re: So is the Watford game on ?
It’s a bit hard to have a contingency plan for a striker leaving without any notice at any point during a long term contract. No club, Burnley or otherwise, can turn around a replacement Number 9 immediately. Things aren’t that simple.SalisburyClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 3:10 pmWell he's actually got something right for a change.

If you can’t beat them (and let’s be fair, we can’t beat ANYONE), then join them. If this allows us to face Watford with Cornet and a few new signings then that’s fine by me.
