Disgusting, even allowing for the club proximities to each other. My money is on some govt + FA/EFL bods desperately now trying to word their media statements on a forfeit so tis in line with the current "science" .
I think that everyone accepts that it's off, it's just what happens now that's the question. Bye, play it next week or switch it to our place or something?
Conspiracy theory: Spurs paid for the tests......................arranged for them to be positive, so we wouldn't have to play today.
Postpone it to the international week. Then IF we win , Bale could be available for the next round potentially against Chelski
Next week is unlikely as their players will still be in quarantine I assume. If postponed, then we will not then have a game next Tuesday and the schedule becomes doable. Obviously (if we win)we'll have 2 games to catch up.
It would cost £3750 to have their entire first team squad tested ...any idea how much we've made in Bale shirts since Saturday?
Somehow this will be the first time The FA smelled a rat about anything about Fulham Wanderers at any point since 2003...
Chelsky would : 1. Play their academy in the R3 tie 2. Claim those players are isolated from the senior squad in all ways. 3. Lose the tie. Losing 100K is nothing to Oligarchsky if it means one less game + less chance of corona contagion for his seniors.
I was thinking it was the Os who were delaying the decision, hoping that we'd refuse to play and then they'd be awarded the tie!!!! emoticon-0136-giggl)
