Sunderland

[tripleheader]

8 1st team players out with Covid incident at training ground. Asked for game to be suspended but had to go ahead and field a team. Got a draw after going behind, credit to them.
Begs the question, should games be postponed when teams are effected so in current climate? Maybe base it on a percentage of squad effected.

Newcastle managed to have their game called off.

Stevenage cancelled 2 games because they had 2 players with positive COVID tests

Apparently they were worried about sanctions by the EFL, maybe the phone lines were down! Very strange.

Ian Dowie reporting on their game tonight said the club were furious they had to go ahead and play after asking to cancel the game . Yet Charlton were allowed to cancel their game tonight for the same reason why ?

Northerners. And therefore it is government policy to shidt on us at every possible opportunity.

Nathan Wood is isolated because his girlfriend contracted covid.
If 8 players have it, theres no question fixtures should not be postponed until its safe.

They have just told the efl they will not be playing their next 3 fixtures.

 

[Erimus74]

Sunderland made the decision to play

 

[Subbuteo_171]

9 point deduction.

 

[TeaCider]

Their next 3 matches have been postponed because of the outbreak.

Some lovely fixture build up to come for them, hopefully that works against them when it comes to results.

 

[tripleheader]

9 point deduction.

No way should any team be penalised for withdrawing due to Covid.
