orient players testing positive
cannot move it as Spurs are playing Thursday & potentially next thursday
let the chaos commence
I think he's meaning the fact more and more players are going to test positive and more games being cancelled.There won’t be any chaos, Spurs will get a bye and go through.
No chance, the next round is next midweekOrients owner was on the radio saying he expected the game to be played at a later date,can’t see it happening.
Turning into a total farce.
Should've scrapped the League Cup, given the tight schedule this season.
Can't really argue with that.should scrap it anyway both sides of the border
Well that's pretty clear. Does the SPFL have similar rules?EFL rules
5.1 A Club which is unable to fulfil its obligation to complete a Competition match in Round One to (and including) Round Four due to either:
5.1.1 that Club’s Player(s) having returned a positive CAT result and self-isolating in accordance with the action plan set out in the Return to Play/Return to Training Protocols resulting in the Club not having a sufficient number of Players to fulfil the fixture; or
5.1.2 any requirements or directions of the UK Government and/or by any public authority,
shall forfeit the fixture, pay the opposing Club’s expenses in accordance with Rule 5.8 and the opposing team shall receive a bye into the next round of the Competition.
Last thing Orient need after todays decision not to allow fans in from October 1stOrient missing out on £100,000 from Sky. Ooft!
Well that's pretty clear. Does the SPFL have similar rules?
Yeah wasn't expecting them to. Wonder if that's deliberate...Don't think so
Fair point mate but as a previous poster said Orient would've received £100,000 from Sky tonight..thats big money for the lower league sides.Turning into a total farce.

Yeah, that's the downside. Smaller clubs survive on the money that can be made from these cup-tiesFair point mate but as a previous poster said Orient would've received £100,000 from Sky tonight..thats big money for the lower league sides.
So wait a minute, spurs were scheduled to play Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday this week? Utter farce. Then probably Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday next week!

Fair dos, makes ye wonder what the point is in having the PL teams in at this stage them.When the EFL were sorting dates for League Cup this came up and they accepted that the club playing at this stage mostly like would be fielding an weaken side

You've got more chance of catching Covid in Glasgow than in Fraserburgh to be fair.It seems very daft to have the cups ongoing this season tbh. Imagine we got drawn away to fraserburgh again and some of the first team squad came back with the virus? We'd be absolutely livid
