Hardly blame him. They're going to be unfairly impacted.

So shut it down for everyone. Except they've already rejected that. 

 

Not sure it's unfairly impacted when players are refusing to be vaccinated meaning they have to isolate when they've been in contact with someone positive. Games should not be called off in that situation, but they have been already. They should be made to field a side.

Apparently not confirmed as off yet.

 

Outrageous how much fucking around they do. Fortunes it’s a London match but still fucks about with people’s plans on Boxing Day.

Yeah it seems some journalists have back pedalled to “likely to be off” and Palace doing more tests in the morning. A shit situation for pretty much everyone

That Palace team today for fuck sake - pretty much full strength and they tried to get it called off.

 

Premier League have created a massive issue for themselves like, clubs trying to get games called off left right and centre because they have a couple out and don't fancy it so using Covid to get it off, it's a fucking joke.

 

You got Leeds who just have a few of their best players out but still have enough players to field a side but get their games called off, you've got Everton faking injuries so they meet the quota to get games off, no coincidence you've got loads of managers crying about this Xmas schedule then suddenly getting these "injuries and covid cases". When it's back to normal in January you won't see half the postponement requests.

Should only have focused on Covid players ruled out imo. PL needed to come out and say something like "If you've got 5 or more (vaccinated) players out with Covid then you can make an application to get a match postponed" 

 

Injured players don't count, use the kids

Coaching staff don't count get on with it. 

Unvaccinated players out with covid don't count, use the kids. 

 

Last one will be a bit controversial but it's clear some are takin the piss and using it as an excuse to rest a few bodies and play when it's more convenient, I don't blame them either, they're taking advantage of a situation the PL have created. Lack of clarity and consistent criteria have caused this.
