Should Boro v Bournemouth be going ahead

General Genocide Johnson still pushing his ‘ Let the bodies pile high’ master plan.

record high covid cases again for the 2nd day in a row..
 
We were getting 40 odd thousand cases in November, even October, and there was never talk of whether games should go ahead or not. It was just as deadly then as it is now. Games weren’t being postponed until squads were coming down with it.
 
Ref Deaths - Delta variant appears more deadly based on South Africa data. UK also has many more vaccinated people.

Don't go if very worried.
 
No, it shouldn't be going ahead. I don't think it's fair to make teams play with weakened sides due to Covid. There are so many games getting postponed it's crazy.

Maybe take the weekend off and get everyone isolated / recovered and try and play the Christmas fixtures.

With regards to fans attending that's personal choice. Personally I wouldn't be going to any games prior to Christmas - I would probably attend the games after though.

That's nuts. What would you do when the flu are any other virus is doing the rounds?

doing the rounds does not equal pandemic. What I would do are (sic) take precautions in line with the risk and since this is a deadly and novel virus I wouldn't go
 
As far as we know, neither squad has a confirmed Covid case, so yes.

I'm starting to expect there will be a postponement of the leagues soon, the cases in this country are only going to get higher, until then they should play if they can.

I've no doubt that some clubs will be taking advantage of the excuse to avoid playing with players out injured, and I can't see the EFL actually properly policing the "14 fit players, including a goalkeeper and you must play" policy.

There are 14 EFL fixtures postponed tomorrow, and I don't think all the outbreaks will have all left the teams in question with fewer than 14 players.

It's possible in the EFL, but I can't get my head round how Premier League clubs are struggling to field a side......if it's about not spreading infection then all games and similar events should be off.

YES. We’ve had enough and want our football

If Osborne and Cameron et al not drained the nhs since austerity from 2010 giving them way below what was required then we’d have an nhs today we could be confident would cope

Who cares about any of that, 3 points against Bournemouth are way more important 🔴⚪

Whilst there is a remote chance of somebody attending, getting infected and subsequently dying, then no it shouldn’t go ahead, also the easily bypassed rules of producing evidence of negative LFTs is farcical.

Slightly playing devils advocate here but hasn't that been the case for every single football match which has ever been played?
