Someone who has always followed their own stupid rules and called others out for not doing so, why would they need to make any sort of point to SG.

Brunners 7,952 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 So interestingly, they're changing the rules for the loanees but explicitly not for Connolly which just seems doubly stupid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Majority of other games have been postponed with 48hrs notice or a day notice and yet we are still sitting ducks and been told to play. Shambles all over but the EFL are showing their teeth and proving a point to Mr Gibson. Unfortunately us fans are made to suffer and can prove be vital later in the season. TV or no TV, this game should be called off like all the other games in the English football League. 19 players yes 19 players and staff unavailable for tomorrow! Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose the reasoning would be that those players are already your players. If they allowed Connolly to play then theoretically a club could sign loads of players to help get them through but obviously some clubs wouldn't be in a position to do that so it would be unfair I guess. Should have been either play the game or forfeit right from the start. Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't New Years Day where they'd get more viewers. It's also Hull which less people will tune into watch. Difference with Wednesday is there was multiple games on at the same time so they could easily switch to another. 12.30pm kick off they can't move a fixture forward a few hours.

Andyboro 73 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 actually pisses me off. Theres games getting called off left right and center even upto the day of the game, but nope we have 19 players and staff out with covid and still have to play and if we dont they'll deduct us 3 points just to make us an example again... absolute *** the EFL are, they've always had it out for us and always will. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Recalling your own players at least is just bringing players that are already yours back into the squad. I'd say there is a distinction there, albeit not a massive one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
