I’m currently sat on a bench outside the hospital whilst my terminally ill wife is fighting for consciousness, so I really don’t want to go down a wormhole on a football forum. Bloody hell Billy! That sort of thing does put everything else in perspective. For what its worth, sending my best wishes and prayers that she pulls through. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,811 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 All the best @BillyWoofs_shinpad. I'll be thinking of you and your wife, hoping for the best! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I probably shouldn’t have made things public, but I was at as very low ebb. It’s been a difficult year, not made better by COVID. Lockdown bucket lists aren’t very exciting when you can’t travel or meet up with people. I’m hoping that my wife, Sue will get over this current crisis, it’s been bought on by too much chemo and radiotherapy. Hopefully I’ll have her back home and we can indeed have some quality time together. This forum has been a godsend, especially over the last 5 weeks that she’s been in hospital, so I’ll try not to fall out with all of you, as it’s valuable to have human contact! For what it's worth, I'm glad you mentioned it, as hard as it may well be to talk about even when it's something you're actively dealing with. I apologise for the things I've said, there are clearly more important things than this daft argument over football opinions. I do sincerely hope things improve for both you and your wife Sue and soon, for both your benefit. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There is something strange going on there. I fully understand that people who are being careful and are taking appropriate precautions can still get covid without being at fault. However, they have had two major outbreaks. 25 positive tests at a single club in such a short time is a lot and not what you would expect if guidance was being followed fully. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

What the hell are they doing. No other clubs are recording outbreaks and certainly not on such a huge scale. You wonder if they are paying any attention to the guidelines at that club. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

But it would only take one or two persons to flaunt the rules or take risks (or to be asymptotic) to bring it all down.

Something is going wrong there. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The thing is, as much as I dislike Derby and want them to get relegated, it gives Rotherham an unfair advantage having all these games in hand as a result of postponements. They will know how many points they need to stay up for a start, they could play teams who are firmly mid-table and so who have nothing to play for, but could have done earlier in the season when they were supposed to play, and obviously the biggest advantage is they've been able to rest their players by not playing the games. As harsh as it sounds I think they should be thrown out of the Championship, especially if they're found to be not following coronavirus guidelines. Link to post Share on other sites

If most of those players have had covid though it might not be much of a rest for a number of them... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
