Orients Game off

I don’t suppose it’ll be the last fixture called off this season, due to these reasons.

I wonder if they all work in the same factory?

Surprise surprise. They make it so teams outside the premier league don't have to regularly test their players, and predictably it leads to half the Orient squad picking up the virus. Who knows how many other teams are going to have the same problem sooner rather than later?

Very dangerous precedent being set. Orient were due a huge payday off this owing to it being televised (around £125k) and will rightly feel aggrieved if the EFL withhold a signficant chunk if not all of it. Would also imagine bigger clubs would have kicked off over this with more noise if they were being threatened with forfeiture. Not good enough it's the comp rules they have to forfeit like this.

Probably all still gambolling around like Spring lambs.
Why can't they all just play in masks, they're the panacea it would appear?

Orient booted out of the cup now.

I know it's Orient but that is still a disgusting way for them to be treated.
Our youths' game this Saturday is off as well.

Just heard on 5Live that three Stevenage players have tested positive for COVID-19, their website says two of those cases are new as of today but their game is still going ahead https://www.stevenagefc.com/news/20...-football-league-saturday-26th-september-2020
