Points deduction incoming for Rotherham?

[wednesdaywizard]

Rumours on Twitter that a points deduction is on its way for them.  Postponed game versus Coventry under investigation.

All we need on top of this is a points deduction for Brum and we’re sorted.

Why would they get a points deduction for isolating following positive covid tests?

Big points deduction for Rotherham - we might scrape third from bottom.

fluffy cloud me this club has sunk to some depths before but this is probably a new low.

Didn’t they release a similar statement when we postponed a match.

[Bagarri]

Football is a farce isn’t it. Hate point deductions. Just let points be decided on the pitch, makes a mockery of the game...certainly would NEVER be allowed in the Premier League.

Transfer bans, fines etc but point deductions is just too much and too frequent these days.

Bonus, we might finish third bottom instead.

That's exactly my thoughts.

IF they’ve been found to have slackened their behaviour in regards to COVID then it’s only fair if a couple of 3-0 losses are chucked their way for the postpone games.

They've postponed games IIRC 4 times certainly 3. Not very good is it when other teams are managing to stay Covid safe. Like I said in another thread very convenient for them to get Saturday's game postponed especially after the played with 10 men against us. Had a nice rest before playing another important game.

Is fizz now fluffy cloud on this?

The Coventry postponement causes a reyt fixture congestion for them.  As it stands there are no midweek slots available.  They could end up playing Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday to catch up on missed games

It's so sad to see any club hit with a points deduction because their players caught a killer virus, after being forced to play football during a pandemic

 

It's like fining a soldier and sending them to prison when they get back to the UK because they got shot in Iraq

There's nothing to suggest they've done anything untoward at this point though, is there?

 

Where has talk of a points deduction come from?

They have postponed a few games due to this. Rearranged their game v Brentford to 27th April which could be quite convenient for them if Brentford have already secured a play off spot by that point.
