Liverpool are awful

Much of the issue, however, was the wording of the EPL statement which cites “Covid, other illness and injuries”  Radio Lancs were arguing that the other illnesses and injuries should play no part in the decision. 

Clearly, redio lancs are chatting shit

The statement in full read...

Quote

 

Due to more positive cases in the Aston Villa squad today, the Premier League Board has regrettably had to postpone the club’s home fixture against Burnley, due to kick off at 15:00 GMT this afternoon.

After reviewing all the new information provided by Villa this morning and receiving separate medical advice, the Board approved the request as a result of the club not having enough players to field a team.

This decision was based on the number of COVID-19 cases, injuries and illness.

The League understands the decision to postpone the match at such short notice will frustrate and disappoint supporters, and apologises for the inconvenience and disruption caused.

The remaining four Premier League matches due to be played this weekend are currently scheduled to proceed as planned.

The Board assesses applications to postpone matches on a case-by-case basis, based on existing rules and COVID-19 postponement guidance issued to all clubs.

@Biggish Davewill be loving this Rovers revival 😂

Delighted mate.

Theyre surely due a 6 match losing streak soon. The Mowbray out clan far too quiet for my liking

I didnt doubt that

My point is that it doesnt matter why they cant field a team

If theyve no players, theyve no players

Leeds could take another hammering again today, Arsenal look like scoring every time they go forward

Assembling a good side arteta

smart chap too

They aren't testing daily like in England.  Scots Prem have to test daily from Monday so currently don't have to, no idea if they're testing voluntarily though.

The Scots lower leagues are arguably the equivalent of our non leagues below the national league, probably don't have the funds for testing.

So stop testing in England then.

Yep, Rovers, Blackpool & Wiggin all won.

I’m jealous.

I’d rather lose every week than be a Blackburn or Blackpool fan. Wigan meh

Haha, me too. It’s the winning bit that I’m missing.

Imagine winning and be surrounded by the fucktards that watch either of them

It’s a cycle we will be back at some point

Regardless of our division still the top dogs in the north west after the prem clubs 

Strange one today. Not sure the players wanted to be there.

12K attendance given but I'd say 9k tops in ground 

Be nice if Leeds got relegated this season. 

Thought our injury problems are bad

leeds are stretched big time 

How the fuck did Xhaka get away without a card for that

Always been a dirty fucker him 

Great support from the Leeds lot.

Not as nice as if Burnley and Newcastle go down (for me).  If we assume Norwich are going, hope Leeds don't keep one of the others up.

Agreed! Cant stand Burnley, and send the richest club in the world ( supposedly) down as well!

Reckon Leeds game will be first on MotD tonight.

The Leeds manager is a peculiar guy. If he thinks the wheels have come off he'll be packing his bags before his translator can say "Jack Robinson".

Just like any other manager, when it's going well his methods look great. Means absolutely nowt when results turn though.

All that bollocks about murder ball and ultra fit players. Manager sitting on a bin etc. Rubbish.

Doesn't need that interpreter, either!

Fans seem to be right behind him though. Singing his name at 1-4 down. They really do look like a prem version of us. Bit like IE he’s got plenty of credit in the bank despite some current troubling times. 

If anyone fancies winning £3,290 tomorrow, you could do worse than stick £1 on the 4 English/Scottish games.  All home wins - Newcastle, Wolves, Spurs, Hibs.  Maybe the top 3 are due an off day.  4 draws are a mere £580.  When the fun stops, stop.

And Radio Lancs’ point was that a few years ago, Middlesbrough couldn’t field a team and we’re fined, docked points and awarded a loss of the game for not being able to field a team. 
 

I’m not being anti-Villa, just saying what was said on a radio channel obviously watching through claret and blue specs.
