Matches Boxing Day v Pompey in doubt - POSTPONED

[Essexyellows]

Looks like he’s more concerned with people‘s health than his own job.

Or overreacting by cancelling outdoor events?

It would be understandable for indoor events but I think he`s gone too far.

Sorry............. he`s lost the plot.
You can now get fined for going to work...................

Covid: Fines for Wales employees not working from home

People must work from home unless there is "a reasonable excuse" with fines for bosses and workers.

If employers don't force staff into work when it's not necessary no fines will be issued. QED no problem.

Think it'll be on, the league are taking a hard line and we're a club with more resilience than most.

It’s not our call sadly. I’f Pompey shout aloud enough, it’ll be off.

QED pointless waving of big stick.

You are defending fines for people who go to work?

Hold on, let me check... yep, we're still slap bang on the middle of a pandemic.

I hope you don't know any 'at greater risk' people being unnecessarily forced into work by uncaring employers.

A little selfishness can go a long way when it comes to infecting others with Omicron.

But if employers do force staff into work when it's not necessary, you're OK with the staff each being fined 60 quid?

So you think the answer is to fine the people being forced into work?

Game off

Obviously not.

How many positive cases do they have?

I'd love to know that

 

[Basham Wonderland]

At some point football matches will need to just continue. I'm sure a majority of players and fans will share the sentiment. This is endemic.

But you have to have the players available

 

[bazzer9461]

How many positive cases do they have?

Due to an unknown number according to Pompey when they informed the EFL

 

[Basham Wonderland]

How many male players are registered to Pompey across their teams. They can field a team.

A few days after “guidance” was issued by the EFL about when matches should and shouldn’t take place, I hope the club and/or the EFL have been informed about the exact numbers of available and unavailable players and reasons why players are unavailable for this match.

This part of the statement on the website is interesting.
Any chance of 3 points being awarded to
Oxford?

“In light of the increased transmission rate of the Omicron variant, the EFL will now review the circumstances surrounding the postponement.”

I think the same has been said for most of the postponed games if I recall.

Fair play calling it off so early. Good for the players and staff, probably their first proper Christmas break in yonks. Shame for anyone who had anything non-refundable booked, though. Hope it’s rearranged for a Saturday.

 

[Junior_1]

I’d we didn’t get the points v Crewe the first time around, we’ve no chance on this.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Agreed.

Ive flown over from Texas with my yank daughter for her first away game for this one. Rental cars too expensive so we are hitching lifts and rides and building our travel itinerary around it.

Some early notice would be helpful. I can’t see the game going ahead though with a crowd

Well it’s the early notice I asked for but it’s disappointing. The world certainly operates from a place of fear these days….

Flu average death numbers over 12 months: up to 25000
Covid deaths last 10 months : 23000

Tell the EFL and you will have two hopes Bob and No

They will meet have a cuppa and go home. The EFL don’t do nothing.

Agree with the decision being made early enough for those who haven't committed to going. Will be a good many who have made arrangements that won't be refundable which is not good news.
Will be interested to see what happens with the coach fee. Will it be refunded?
As to the rearranged date, not much chance in January, pretty much no chance in February so, March, on a Tuesday evening?

Is that deaths from Covid or, following a positive test result within 28 days? Statistics are so skewed as to be almost misleading.

Doubt very much whether any rearranged game would be on a Saturday unless there is an FA cup and neither team is involved. Although January there are no midweek games for the U’s. Pompey have a couple of Tuesdays free towards the end of January but we also play Portsmouth at home in February.

You’re missing the point.
When was the last time you heard of someone with flu.?
It’s no longer about deaths.
It’s about infection.
It’s about the 10 day isolation rule, which is having the same effect as the ”pingdemic”.
You don’t have to isolate if in contact with someone with flu.

If it's a proper meeting I think you find it'll be cheese and wine not tea.
