charger29 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 The Czech's could maybe try and get UEFA to delay the decision until they see if we reach the playoff final. We'll have a free matchday in November if we don't beat Israel next month. They would have to cancel a friendly against Germany.That would be a bit of a pisstake for us though. Walkover seems by far the most likely outcome just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them winning away and Us drawing with Israel almost makes a forfeit a free hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only if they are unable to field the minimum number of players (13, at least one goalie). Even with 8 out of their 23-man squad there is still enough to be able to play. And that's not even taking into account the difficulty of rescheduling a game in such a tight international schedule. 3-0 win please.

You only have to have 13 players (one of them being a goalkeeper) for the match to go ahead. If players are quarantined, pulled out etc you can name basically anyone to play: Quote the match will go ahead as scheduled as long as the team has at least 13 players available (including at least one goalkeeper), irrespective of any other provision of the respective competition’s regulations (including the deadline for the submission of the list of players), provided that all players are eligible to represent the Under-21 or the relevant national team in accordance with the applicable FIFA regulations and have been tested negative I.e they don't have to have been named in the squad. They just need 13 players eligible for the Czech Republic. If a team can't name 13 players - any eligible players, not just ones in the squad - the priority is to reschedule. The Czechs announced after a game they'd just played that they wouldn't be playing the second. Presumably the players who faced Slovakia passed the COVID tests or they wouldn't be allowed to play. Therefore: Quote The national association that is responsible for the match not taking place or not being played in full will be declared to have forfeited the match 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 https://mobile.twitter.com/LudekMadl/status/1302146147105083392Translation:Michal Jurman, spokesman of the FACR, Saturday, 9:25:"The FACR management is in contact with UEFA, with which it discusses all possible solutions to the current situation, including, for example, playing a match with another selection of the national team." They can call up players as late as they want according to the new covid regulations. Czech player Jankto also saying, "If we knew we might be infected why were we in contact with the Slovakians. We are a threat but probably wont have to quarantine when we return home." Fucked up situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main difference here is when can we play the rearranged game? If we can’t there’s a strong argument that Scotland should be awarded the points. Do we know why the Czechs can’t play? Aberdeen weren’t allowed, is that the same situation with the Czechs or do they just not want to play with a dozen boys from their seaside leagues? There's two more "International windows" before the Nations League ends, excluding the window that involves the Play Offs. Just wedge the game in there somewhere. Its what happened to Saints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Czechs announce minutes after playing a game that the won’t play 3 days later.Why did the Slovakia game go ahead ?What right did they have to make the announcement ?Why did they make the announcement so soon ?An absolute shambles. They should be punished for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, the Czechs haven't broken any rules and want the game postponed out of safety. Aberdeen broke the rules then wanted games played regardless. Easy to see why the Czech Republic should be punished harder than Aberdeen were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) If we could maybe not trudge up moans about irrelevancies for a minute, the Czechs have as much time as they possibly could up to the game itself to find some registered players to play, readable of quality, and the likely knock-on effect of any postponements causing more trouble than it's worth for an already troubled schedule. Three points, please. Edited September 5, 2020 by RossBFaeDundee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
