    I agree SB about lives being more important.
    However if the club have abided by the set rules and they have enough players in the club to field a team and subs that are negative after a recent test then games should be played to save livelihoods.
    Games shouldn’t be called off because a couple of people within the club have tested positive or track and trace have identified someone they “may” have come into contact with?

    Rotherham have five players out through long term injuries and three isolating with a possible fourth to come .

    One player can come out of isolation tomorrow but obviously hasn't trained for 9 days , Warne says he will be on the bench but won't give him more than 10 minutes .

    The EFL have indicated a points deduction for the Millers should the game not go ahead tomorrow night .

    The long term injuries are part n parcel of football and that's just tough but when you add four players missing through covid isolation and one returning whose not fit to play and can only do 10 minutes off the bench this seems a very unfair situation to me .

The Austrian FA took the view that this was a serious breach of the rules and docked LASK 6 points, leading on to LASK sacking Ismael.

    Ismael was unemployed and available to any club willing to ignore this Covid breach.
    It doesn't sit well with me and a decent spell of results won't alter that.
    I am aware I may well be on my own with this view then so be it. I'm happy with that. Lives are more important than gaining advantage in a football match.
    I would love BFC to show some principles and not look to use Coronavirus to gain advantage. Conway should press the EFL to postpone the game and show we are bigger than seeking to exploit the situation Rotherham are in. The whole thing stinks.

    We are bound by EFL rules to play the game SB just as Rotherham are , that's hardly exploiting the situation with all due respect .

    The situation at the NYS is totally out of our control .

    Well I haven’t - but I know people that have.
    Anyway - I’ve just been told that maybe 5 or 6 Rovrum players out - and if that’s the case then the match should be OFF.

    Well done, must be humbling to know that you're perfect.
