No idea how the next 3 weeks are going to play out.



Could be strict protocols back in place and everything be fine, to behind closed doors, total league shutdown.

The Prem will not even consider it, but they should postpone at least one/two rounds of the Xmas programme.

What is it 5 games in a 10 days, there will be a lot of transmission & impacted games; they need to be sensible, but they wont.

[S-RED]

Also what happens is any players going to AFCON get COVID, that has a knock on effect on that tournament.

Is there any scope to postpone rounds of games this season with the Qatar World Cup on the horizon?

Nope, the summer break is so short already; who would have thunk having a 6 week world cup during the season would **** up the whole football calendar for 3-4 years..........

I think sides could probably cope with the odd games postponed and could play them when there are scheduled cup games/replays assuming that they are out of the cup or don't need a replay. Sides not in Europe will obviously be able to play midweek when European games are on, it will be more difficult for clubs in Europe. I suspect postponing a whole round of fixtures will be problematic.

Spurs have two to rearrange already. Remember when Man U had this last season they ended up with 4 games in about 8 days.

It won’t take many more cancellations for this to become a logistical nightmare.

[Fivex]

Yup. **** knows why they can't play a few youth players if needed?

[wiw]

Cancel AFCON. It's the only logical solution

And the word cup.
