chaddyrovers Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Totally gutted today's game was called off so late. We get there and was park up when we found out. It now getting ridulcous was games being cancelled now and the EFL need to get clubs to do the test before the game and or for evening kick off in the morning. I totally agree with the comments of the Rovers players have made on social media. fans are the last thoughts of the EFL. Now the game likely to be played on during the week means we as group won't be able to go due to family and work commitments. So thankyou Hull and the EFL for a completely and utter wasted journey today Edited December 26, 2021 by chaddyrovers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. E Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 What's infuriating is that there is carte blanche for the EFL, you ask for any responsibility and accountability and all you'd get is "covid, end of story." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Somerset Rover Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Gutted for the fans, gutted for the players. Just need to hope this isn’t a real momentum buster for us. Need to take out our frustrations out against Barnsley on Wednesday. Edited December 26, 2021 by Gavlar Somerset Rover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly you can probably also say the same about most governing bodies and big businesses in the country the past couple of years to some degree, it's just too easy of an excuse to hide behind and anybody that questions their decisions is painted as as some kind of quack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Mellelieu Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 3 hours ago, RevidgeBlue said: Not wanting to turn this thread into another covid thread but absolute rubbish. imo. A short break would have practically zero effect as relatively high levels of the new strain will still be about at the end of it. This is why the decision was correctly made to play on wherever possible. The overly oppressive isolation rules are the root cause of the problem together with the footballing authorities being too soft on the Club's. Are we going to bring the Country to a halt and ruin everyone's lives and businesses every winter from now on because people are exhibiting flu/cold like symptoms? All I can say is that you are either unaware of, or ignoring the realities of, the situation we are in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This virus has to be lived with as it begins to die off just like Spanish flu did in 1918. We have to get on with everyday life. Ffs even smarmy Starmer and co agree on that point., Spanish Flu started in Feb 1918 and didn't become a mere seasonal illness until April 1920 (after 4 waves). By that timeline we should begin to become free of Covid (aside from seasonal illness) just after this winter, which is rapidly looking very similar to the 4th Spanish Flu wave.

Miller11 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The EFL need to look at the current rules as the situation has become farcical. Have Hull really got 14 or 17 or however many positive cases, or are they unable to use certain players due to them being unvaccinated and in close contact, like us with Dack/Eastham last week? If the players haven’t had the vaccine, they should be taken out of any calculations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowmo Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 All in all what a mess up , whoever is at fault for it . Mainy fell sorry for the travelling fans , but also the team cutting short Christmas day to travel, fans looking forward to the game , even little things like paying for day pass on now tv etc , etc Add it all up and it's a big waste of everyone's time and money, which surely could and must in future be avoided . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 So, we set the replay date and Hull will have a fully fit squad, while rovers are ravaged by Covid but still above the required minimum numbers to force the game to be played. Whats the chances of that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47er Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 5 hours ago, JohnD said: I can't think of another industry that closes when a few staff are ill. Matches should be forfeited if a club can't field a team. Remember that could happen to us and cost us a top 2 place or place in the play-offs. The only questions should be about the timing (and whether the tests were genuine which I'm sure they were) But I do agree that unvaccinated players shouldn't be in the count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only2garners Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 It’s hardly surprising that lots of footballers are testing positive as the virus is all around us. More of them are being picked up because they are being tested everyday and most of the general population aren’t. There are thousands, possibly millions who currently have Covid but don’t realise as they have no symptoms or are mistaking a bit of a cough or a runny nose for a cold. I’m willing to bet there will be a fair number of the 3,000 Rovers fans who should have been at the game who will have the virus unknowingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitro Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Can I suggest that anybody disaffected by today's farcical postponement puts it in writing to the EFL through this link? https://www.efl.com/contact-form/ The more people that write the stronger a case can be made. At the very least it enables you to let off a bit of controlled steam. Hopefully the powers that be at Ewood are asking tough questions and won't be fobbed off by bullshit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
