Now this is interesting
My first reaction when I heard this was that Blues were in the crap & they'll get points deducted.....& tbh although I've been out earlier & I'm told its been on local radio that points wont be deducted, I've seen nothing to confirm that anywhere, & I havent changed my mind.
Ignore the fact I'm Villa, which means I'm not the best person for it to come from, but I see strong similarites with the Boro affair of a few years back. Yes, Boro had a flu outbreak or something but they lost 3 (?) points as they were deemed wrong to call it off as they could have played youth players, but the punishment was deemed a deterrent as otherwise what is their to stop somebody doing the same again. To my mind the same applies here. What if this was a top of the table clash but the home team had their best 2 players suspended, & they had to somehow lay a new pitch which was screwed up........ The game would be rearranged about a month later & the suspensions served. Surely the League cant allow this to go unpunished as it could be used again ??
Maybe I'm wrong but I dont want to see Blues lose points, but I can see it coming
