Some very angry Cambridge fans on their Twitter page.

Putting a positive spin on it, we’d have lost anyway and it gives us more time to get players fit and hopefully get the embargo lifted. Any suggestion this was staged by SUFC, as if!! I’d be ****ed off if I was Cambridge I have to say.

 

[Westcliff DGS]

More smoke and mirrors from Ron and the club ... I’m sure Cambridge have a closer view of what’s really going on, than you or I

The tests results are sent to the FA and are carried out by non club representatives as I understand, are you suggesting we are asking them to falsify results?

I would have thought after winning last week we would want to play

 

[GBJ]

They clearly don’t like us do they?.....

**** ‘em, the cheeky bastards

Several of their lot suggesting they should be given the 3 points by default if we can’t fulfill the fixture!

They can **** off then.

One of their lot suggesting they should be given the 3 points by default if we can’t fulfill the fixture!

Similar to how Scunthorpe have had to gift 3 teams the points for their games that were postponed?

Are they suggesting we play and allow Cambridge players get it to? Why not. Playing this match is essential, after all.

Chances are, they will win the rearranged fixture anyway so they really don't need to worry.

 

[MisterStubbs]

Plenty of giddy Cambridge fans, all with nose bleeds after winning a few games getting upset because we’ve followed government protocol. Knobbers.

Well that’s not going to happen as Scunthorpe didn’t have too.

 

[Ricey]

I like the comments of ‘well why couldn’t they play their youth team’

Can anyone see us being done by the EFL?

We have 10 pros and 2 keepers available, if they did hit us, then surely we have a case like Bolron’s last year as they got away with cancelling multiple games, somehow. This is obviously a different situation so can’t see how we can be done by the EFL, and also Scunthorpe didn’t get penalised they were told 3 games would be postponed

They can suggest what they like but with Covid involved I can’t see any chance of the EFL awarding them 3 points. Especially when other teams have had games postponed because of Covid and been allowed to play them.

Ron is always one step ahead of the opposition:

I can't see us being reprimanded personally, just hope that there wasn't a window of notice to be given that we missed or something clerical. On the surface it's just to be rearranged for later in the season (when we are both mid table....)

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Cambridge and their fans are a disgrace with their comments. Laughable they think they will get 3 points awarded. That’s never happening for COVID-19 cancellation.
I’m actually disgusted at them.... and I’m gonna love it when Hart crosses to Akinola for the winner for the rearranged fixture Mwhahahaha

I agree, was just asking, there is always a twist with us

 

[Evening Echo]

CAMBRIDGE United have told the EFL tomorrow's postponed game at Southend United could be played.

Depends if we've followed EFL protocols in calling the match off. If we've unilaterally declared the match off that would seem a bit iffy.

 

[Shrimper]

I'd compare the R numbers, at the locations he travelled to, to those in England, before pointing the finger, if I were you.

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but common sense dictates that's the most likely way it happened.
