Popular Post Jerseybean Posted December 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2021 Season’s greetings fellow-Reds. The game being off tomorrow is a double-edged sword for me If you read my OP for the Huddersfield match day thread you might recall I was in New York City with my family for a pre-Christmas holiday. Thankfully, my wife and daughters are safely home, however, I tested positive on Wednesday so I’m doing ten days solitary in a really grim Air B and B in Brooklyn. Tomorrow’s game was something to look forward to watching on Robins TV and a good performance/result (however unlikely) would certainly have lifted my spirits . As for the double-edged sword a poor performance/result would have only made a miserable situation even worse! Just for a giggle here’s a picture of my Christmas lunch - drink up thee zider! However you are spending this Christmastime enjoy yourself.

Or you could argue that it rewards teams/clubs with smaller squads and are part of a sustainable club. Reality is, you can catch Covid anywhere, and if the players have kids who go to any sort of social, they are going to get exposed to it.

Played in another at Stockwood where we started with 11, one got injured very early on & another left at HT to play in a hockey tournament (getting horrendous stick in the process) & we won 2-1 despite playing the entire second half with 9 men.
