He's got a nice easy start, Wigan. Always good to get a new manager bounce, just like Swindon did with Sheridan against Rovers Oh dear!! Appointed at lunchtime the mackems will be after him tonight, hours later. Still I expect they’ll be Europe in 5 years time! 😉 UTG!

Yes, it did.

I’m exactly the same. Loved the way they did Leeds in ‘73 with Bob Stokoe. Knew a few of their fans years ago and have always liked them but now.... No way! Mind you LJ, despite his connections is probably more gracious than Parkinson. UTG!

A stronger leadership at Sunderland should have taken control and made the decision to cancel but instead they took the weak position and played. They obviously felt that they would not be able to justify themselves to the EFL

Ive been having a gander over on One Turd and South Bristol’s finest aren’t happy. They’re so busy moaning about Lansdown, Ashton, Holden, the 2 England coaches they brought in that the Rovers thread has dropped to page 2. Why, they’re even talking about another bed sheet protest and speculating that things would be better under Lille Lee! I can’t think of any other club that could lose 2-0 and remain in the same position in the league. In fact, I’m surprised they didn’t move up a place. Jammy, Jammy bastards.

"That game should have been called off,
"There's no doubt in my mind. It was dangerous for the players who played in terms of the injuries, the U23s played yesterday.
"The team was changing by the hour and I can't help but be angry and frustrated. I'm not 100% sure who I should be angry at because i had to control the controllables and focus on the ones who could play.
"I don't think we got any help or clarity from the EFL.
"It was very difficult to make a decision to make on safety and I feel they've let us down.
"We asked the EFL for permission to postpone the game, and were told ‘If you postpone the game you will be up for sanction and you will be investigated'.
"There was then a lack of clarity on exactly what that investigation entails, and the threat of having to potentially forsake the game and give the three points up to Wimbledon, we weren’t willing to take.
"Don’t forget, it was all very quick and rushed. We’ve got our players’ safety to think of, and the safety of the players from Wimbledon as well as the staff.
"The truth is that we just don’t know how bad or good things are in terms of the best-case scenario or the worst-case scenario.
"There should be much better protocols in place. It’s frustrating. As a football club, we need a post mortem because we need to understand how one positive test can have such a catastrophic impact in terms of the numbers around it.
"There has been one external employee who has gone down around it – I won’t elaborate any more than that – so there’s effectively two positive tests, and that has expanded the reach zone even further."
"If the Bristol Rovers one is the same circumstance, then if they get off scot free, somehow we’ve been tucked up.
"If they get deducted the points, then this becomes a good point because we’ve played the game and hustled with players who aren’t fit.
"I can only stand and be honest. It’s a mixture of emotions that’s all flooding out, whereas before the game it was a steely focus on doing the job."
“Shutting the training ground has to be a consideration. It has to be.
"It'depends on how the tests come back.
"Obviously we know what happened at Newcastle, although the Premier League runs on very different protocols.
"The consistency of the testing, which was the same in the Championship, becomes an important part of it.
"Obviously the funding hasn’t been there, and that’s what I’m saying.
"The EFL won’t give you the funding to do the testing, but then at the same time, they won’t help you out when there’s a circumstance that happens.
"It’s almost like we’ve been punished for doing the right protocols.
"That’s how it feels. I’m saying, ‘If you’re going to make us play, then the ones that weren’t Covid-positive should be allowed to play’.
"The ones that have been left out by association. That for me is the most frustrating bit.
"To get the three points in this game, we’d have been better off telling people to pretend they were 30 yards away from people.
"But we haven’t. We’ve done it properly, but then we haven’t been helped out."
Sunderland are now waiting for tests on the players who are self-isolating, but Johnson wants his entire squad tested before making a decision over the Shrewsbury game.
"I don't know 100 per cent," he said of who might be missing at the weekend.
"My guess would be the six or seven, they've been tested so it will depend on that in the first sense.
"Beyond that, I think it's wise to probably test anyone but I'm not a doctor.
"Then we'll have to see.
"No one is hiding from performing in matches, but it's got to be safe for both teams. "
istm It's the club's responsibility to call the game off, and he's saying it should have been called off, so he's blaming his club. It sounds like the EFL are not taking as much responsibility as they might, though.

Completely wrong of him to drag us getting away with it, or points deducted into the equation. As I said on the match cancelled thread - the only difference I can think of is that we were due to travel, out of a Tier3 zone, whereas Sunderland (with 1 player tested positive and 7 isolating due to that other player according to a report I read earlier) were at home so no travelling (for them) involved. It is a weak argument though and the EFL should not put any barrier in the way of clubs and individuals acting responsibly in the event of positive test results. It seems that Sunderland couldn't agree with the EFL that there was no risk of them being penalised for calling the game off. Either we were confident of no risk or just decided it was the responsible thing to do - whatever the EFL subsequently decide to do regarding punishment.
If we are punished by the EFL then it is a disgrace. If Sunderland are shown to have put their other players, those of Wimbledon, and other staff and officials involved with the game at risk through playing the match last night then they must take at least some responsibility for that, but the EFL must take the lions share as they have a responsibility to support clubs that are trying to keep everyone involved safe by doing the right thing.

Hugely unprofessional to effectively suggest we should be sanctioned - as make no mistake, that is what the little sh*thead dwarf c u nt is attempting to do.
Face the music you pr*ck, you already know you are massively out of your depth.
Squeeky little f**king pr*ck.
And to think a couple of people would have happily had him here! Christ almighty!

This is what I took from the objectionable little lady gardens' interview:
“Shutting the training ground has to be a consideration. It has to be.
"It'depends on how the tests come back.
Meaning, they haven't had the results yet, (of their tests) unlike Rovers who had, and Rovers had already closed the training ground in an effort to stem the spread, and in line with all current EFL and Government protocols.
So they are firing blanks, had not had any positive 1st team tests (as of last night) therefore had to play the game. Likkle Lee is just an unsavoury character, that is trying to deflect from a 5h1t performance, by dragging others into his mess. Only 1 point, what a prick.
