Topic: Fulham FC v Liverpool FC - 12th February - k/o: ZEBRA CROSSING WEBCAM IS ON

How can a club with a neutrals stand be taken seriously? Amateurs

[Tonyh]

In that case I expect the Arsenal game to be called off as well.

But the Manc fans only have to get back to Essex...

[USC19Babel]

the more i think of it, the more audacious this plan of fulham's is. i really just can't picture a premier league club thinking they could get away with something like this, out of the blue. surely they've been given an indication from above that it wont fall on deaf ears. perhaps the league want the game to be televised given the way we're playing at the moment, however obviously they were going to have to select man united arsenal. i really just dont see a spineless club like fulham doing this without being told they can get away with it

The whole thing reeks of dubious intent and I find it frankly astonishing—as Tony Barrett has pointed out—that Fulham have had a month's notice and only now are releasing a statement.

It's utter bollocks and anyone who believes otherwise is naive.

Absolute bollocks it's clear for everyone to see why they won't the game called off.

The game won't go ahead, they say they will decide tomorrow which is bollocks to because if it's their decision the only decision they will make is call it off.

Knackered after Old Trafford and the big Greek is injured

Wankers

[Resurrected]

I don't think it will be a bad thing if this game is called off.

If it goes ahead, the pitch will probably be atrocious which will increase the chances of players sustaining injuries. Secondly, it takes a lot more out of the players when they have to run around on a soggy pitch. Finally, it'll give us a full weeks rest ahead of the Arsenal game.

Every cloud has a hairy bush and all that.

Ian Ayre is on the mothafucka as we speak ....he has flown down and is locked in talks with Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and Hugh Grant .....could go down to the wire but he has staked his reputation on it coming out positive ....

Can't read that it's winding me up, one is happy because he has a fucking darts game 😡

[classycarra]

so its seriously this easy to get a game cancelled? if we end up playing them on 25th march can we cancel the spurs home match the day before please The FA? ta

@ Tony

Overground from Euston to Shepherds Bush

10 minute bus journey from Shephards Bush to Fulham

Max journey time from Euston to Fulham without the tube, even in rush hour is between 60-80 minutes. And the Hammersmith and City line will probably still be running a service anyway.

I get what you mean, but these aren't good enough excuses. You can't grind to a halt because one method of transportation stops in supposedly one of the world's major cities.

10 minute bus journey from Shepherds Bush to Fulham, you have to be kidding mate. It is 10 minutes from Hammersmith let alone Shepherds Bush and that is on a very good day. As I mentioned Fulham Palace Road will be gridlocked.

Re Arsenal and West Ham, they both have more than one overground station nearby as well as bus hubs close by too.

Poster called Youngsbitter calls it correct in that page

[TSC]

I forgot that prior to UTD they'd 120 minutes against Sheff Utd too.  The Fulham lot on their forum mention this & that it's a good move from Fulham as the players are knackered.

[Camarero25]

If this happens I will nuke London.

Looks likely to be cancelled then. Just got the make the best of it. Hope Rodgers can manager the players

[Gerry83]

The conspiracy theorist in me sees a coincidence in no mention of this until they visit old trafford and suddenly its a issue. Stinks of a Fergie underhand tactic and no doubt he shared a few vinos with Meulenstain..

[RideTheWalrus]

Surely there's something we could do about this? Seems incredibly opportunistic from Fulham, we can surely fight it?

[USC19Babel]

That'd only set the match back further mate!

[Not too Xabi]

Fuck it, if they are unable to comply with H&S regs at their own ground then surely it has to be played at a neutral venue?

there must be a 30k stadium somewhere without a game on Wednesday.

Doesn't help our lot who've bought tickets but If we called their bluff with that then watch their Stewards magically get to Craven Cottage and get the game on.....

[Crosby Nick]

If it is postponed, the FA should force them to play Steve Marlet up front in the rescheduled fixture.

And Cockney Rebel

[markthescouser]

How about we give each of their ground staff a tenner and tell them to take a cab from wherever they can get to. £3000 is fuck all in the grand scheme of things, the players could sort this with pocket change

Also the point about there shouldn't be action because it's a health and safety matter doesn't stand as the health and safety problem has only come about through lack of organisation on Fulham's part, it's a staff shortage! If anyone had a flight cancelled because there was a tube strike and staff couldn't get to work you'd be pissed, it just wouldn't happen.

[EmotionalCitrus]

They seem to actually think they have a chance against us if they play that shite Greek striker they bought, daft tory c*nts.

Fulham should just ensure their staff get there. Taxis/club cars whatever it takes whatever the cost - in the grand scheme it is peanuts. This is top level football and it should not be cancelled at the whim of one club.

Bottom line is they don't want to play having killed themselves 3 days earlier while we coasted to a win the day before.

The League should step in very quickly.

Small-time gobshites can't even spell "thieves" correctly when trying to insult us. Hope we cock them 2000-0 and they plummet through the leagues, the mimsy fucking clunges.

[Miltonred]

If you can't get to work on time, the answer is to leave for work earlier.

Or when your employer generates millions of pounds a week they can pay for a taxi as a one off cost.

[JerseyKloppite]

Club behaves like Championship club.

Will soon be Championship club.

[deano2727]

I'd be shocked if this game went ahead. You would imagine Fulham would probably prefer for it to be postponed. Has its benefits and negatives. Negatives obviously being that fans have organised time off work and such, and we have just battered Arsenal, so momentum is with us.

The positive is we will be rested for Arsenal away on Sunday, with them having what will be a big game against United.

[clinical]

Honestly can't believe a club would stoop so slow. Its so obvious

[BobPaisley3]

Tony Barrett having to contend with pricks comparing potential problems on Wednesday to Hillsborough. Thing is, its probably a convenient line for the FA if/when they postpone.

[Gerry83]

Seems simple doesn't it. Surely they're stewards are reasonably local. I don't think too many will be traveling from Arbroath or something fs...

[rickardinho1]

This can only be a bad thing for us given that their best striker (Mitroglou) is injured and their team must be knackered from 120mins in the cup and 95 mins of chasing the ball at Old Trafford. A rescheduling would most likely coincide with another one of our tough fixtures as well, rather than an FA Cup game 4 days away that isn't as important as the league games.

Reeks of corruption and bias from the FA. If it gets postponed and then televised it'll be plainly obvious as well.

I really hope Brendan kicks up a big fuss about it if it gets postponed. The FA already fucked him over with his referee comments when he was 100% correct as Lee Mason and Howard Webb were borderline corrupt in the christmas fixtures

That's the fucking thing. They're playing these shitehouse tactics against the one club who might be sensitive about it, because of our past.

Scum. Wanted them to survive the drop after yesterday. Really hope they get relegated now.

[Miltonred]

It may well be a sack of shit, and very poor planning on the part of Fulham, but I would think we can all agree that if the ground is not properly manned to ensure spectator safety, that we of all fans would welcome the right decision being made....

[Learpholl]

Lee Manc Mason

Sent off Jay that time against Fulham didn't he?

Agree on both points.

That was Kevin Friend. Was there that night, remember thinking 'what a good tackle'.

Hope they get twated week in week out now.

That forum really fucked me off
