Just read that Boston have had to forfeit their FA Cup match tomorrow due to a positive covid test and FA rules state that games have to be played within 2 days and they are isolating for 2 weeks

I suspect they won't be the first to have to forfeit a game.

It raises questions about the integrity of the game.

Teams having to forfeit a match, through no real fault of their own. It's not right.

Whatever your opinions on fan attendance and whether this season should be happening at all, this virus has killed over a million people worldwide and our efforts to limit the spread of the disease should be respected, not punished.

No because their players are tested routinely. We’ve been through this a few times.

All this does is encourage teams to lie.
