The Orient manager either feels like a right fool at the moment or was lying through his teeth in that interview. Unbelievable.

Happened with our youth team. Absolute monsoon all night. Woke up expecting a phone call from their manager cancelling. No call. We all drive over in convoy to the pitch only to see from the road on approach that the whole field was under 3ft of water. Manager at the gate apologising that it was off. Pick the bloody phone up! ?
Sorry, I digress.

The absolute scandal here is that the lower league clubs are playing without testing. The fact that Orient played on with 18 positive cases shows how crazy this is. We are lucky that Spurs are a well run club that insisted on testing. Not everybody is so careful. People appear to have forgotten how deadly this pandemic is. Cases are rising and without proper control that rise will be exponential and will inevitably cause many more deaths. I’m afraid that if the lower league clubs cannot play safely then they shouldn’t be playing.

And people wonder why Covid is spreading again! It's amazingly incompetent and dangerous!

The same University that gave us the Bullingdon Club, Gove, Johnson and Cummings - enough said

Still on as we speak (despite half the O's squad and staff testing positive allegedly)

Surely it's a risk to us too, it's ridiculous. The game can't go ahead but i'm not sure awarding us the win is entirely fair either although you might say Orient may not have been following the protocols properly. We might not like it but surely a coin toss sort of thing would be fairer if we can't replay the game?

No news, but it looks like Orient want to try and get a postponement and are reluctant to call it off.

Wouldn’t surprise me other teams in the lower levels are going to hide any illness among their players in the future

Scheduled in less than 6 hours. How can players prepare for a game that may well not go ahead? A decision should have been made by now. If they couldn't reach a decision regarding a new date then cancel it and we get that bye. I know financially it's unfortunate for Orient, but the fact they had a 'bug' go round the squad and they played Mansfield and Plymouth is ridiculous. Thank the lord we had the foresight to test our cup opponents. Bet whoever they have this weekend is thankful as well.
