Covid Outbreak

[Jedi boro]

It does seem a tad hypocritical that Blackpool got dogs abuse on here when there was a rumour they were trying to get the game off but there’s people advocating it’ll be a good idea for us to do the same.

No it’s not as we HAVE played when others didn’t so we have nothing to feel guilty of. Why should we play and others don’t.

esp as our reasons unlike the others is virus related.

Wouldn’t be surprised if our game goes ahead, with it being in TV.

Wouldn’t be surprised if our game goes ahead, with it being in TV.

Our game on Boxing Day was only televised as the main match because Sheffield United’s game with Hull was called off and that was meant to be the main televised game.

A friend of mine just lost his life to it and he was triple jabbed

Sorry to hear that, please accept my condolences.

Sorry to hear that, please accept my condolences.

Absolutely Priv, it's easy to forget the very real human cost.

Surely its only hypocritical if the circumstances are the same?

Blackpool only had 2 players who had tested positive and they had a player serving a suspension. We have between 8 and 15 depending on which site/thread you read.

The 2 scenario's are light years apart.

We had no info re how many Blackpool players were missing with covid pre game. The numbers have only just come to light.

I imagine Sheff Utd are like we were a couple of days ago and praying the game goes ahead.
