An Absolute Shambles

but dont you think Sky will be putting pressure on EFL?

I'm not sure. I think it's easy to jump and blame Sky when none of us really have any idea of how that organisation operates.

we have lots of idea!

We've already seen games that were to be televised being called off, it's why the Boxing Day game match was shown on TV.

No I don’t as they’ve had games off before.

I think we should and set a precedence.

Unless you work for them, or at least in the industry, then I reckon it is not lots of idea.

 

[TeaCider]

It's a farce; games have been postponed for far less this season.

If we had the injuries and suspensions, we'd be able to get this called off.

 

[Oooo]

if it wasnt for Sky do you really think teams would kick off at 12.30 ?

I hope that we're the precedent and that other teams are forced into it too.

Makes PL postponements look even more preposterous: spending £40m+ on a single player is a risk you take for squad depth and they can afford to run whole second teams.

Saying recall loan players and youth players has nothing to do with sky.

Like CW said let's play it and give it our best. I don't expect us to get anything out of it but if we do what a F***ing message that will be
UTFB

 

[LeeMiller]

Is it true that the EFL have closed early for the day as it’s NYE?

 

[TeaCider]

Newcastle have 7 players out on loan, they are not being forced to recall them and play.

Coventry is off so though so three is your precedent gone right there.

Just remember who the chairman of the EFL is . Rick Parry. The same Rick Parry who tapped up Ziege when at Liverpool . The same man we took to court. Coincidence that we see our request knocked back? I don't think so. There is history

Imagine if Wing gets the winner… Sheff Utd would be rightly ***ed off about the efl making up the rules as they go along

But Sheff Wed fans would be happy.

Exactly

that’s why I’m fuming

Sounds a bit like The Charge of Light Brigade.

If these numbers are correct then it's farcical for the game to go ahead. Can't imagine that blades will want to play against Plague FC either.

The points at stake could be priceless come the end of the season.

Are the governing body actually allowed just to shut up shop for weekend? That's like the supermarket manager taking every Saturday off. But then I saw the name Parry - the effin Boris Johnson of the footballing world. Yep, we're probably being done up like a kipper.
