"But, as a Town fan, would I be happy if an opponent used someone who hadn’t been in a league match day squad for over a month"
I wouldn't even notice. |
That’s because you’re normal. Well, when it comes to that!
I’m not. |  |

It seems a bit silly that L1/L2 don't play by the same calendar as the Championship and the Premier League to be honest, i.e all domestic games off on an international weekend. When clubs are paying the wages of these players and financially so much relies on success, they shouldn't be left without a player for a league fixture. |
Disagree. Nice to see the lower leagues take centre stage & their games shouldn't be moved from prime time Saurday 3pm for some tedious international break. |  |

The alternative to what they're suggesting is that the possible postponement wait until today. Would they really have rather that? Imagine Leigh is in the squad and the game gets postponed and moved 4 days before it's due to take place. That'd be bloody stupid! |
The alternative would have been Jamaica to not include them in their squad in the first place, if they had no intention to pick him.
The blame lays completely at their feet and if Barnsley want to lodge a complain to FIFA about it then they should go ahead (against the Jamaican FA, not us). | |

Burns and Broadhead have been integral to our good form recently. We have cover but the cover is a significant downgrade on those two so can't see the logic behind thinking we should have gone ahead with the game rather than requesting a postponement. Part of the reason we are in form is because of the contributions of Burns and Broadhead. |
That downgrade probably gets even more stark after 60 minutes. KM has never made any secret of the importance of depth, and we see rotation every week during the game. We play such a high energy, high press game that it's not just the fact we can't start with Broadhead and Burns, but that our options in match are severely limited. |  |

Absolutely. It leaves Edwards and Aluko as our back up options as 10s, possibly with KVY as the back up for Jackson which isn't ideal if we need an attacking outlet as he's more of a full back than a winger. I think most people view Barnsley away as our toughest remaining fixture so it'd be odd to willingly go ahead with the game knowing we'll be pretty depleted when really there's no need to do so. |  |

There you go then. On that basis you'd expect Barnsley to want the game off as our record is so poor after international breaks? |
Just like us, they have a small minority of dopey fans posting on their forums. It’s them, not Barnsley FC, who’ve taken umbrage and gone all conspiracy theory about the fact that Jamaica simply changed their minds at the last minute re including Leigh. |  |

Well I for one am shocked and horrified that it turns out most football fans know nothing about football and that we are massively bankrolled and that causes other teams fans to not like us.
I am shocked! (and horrified), I won't sleep. |  |

Feels like much adu about nothing to me. We seemingly received letters of intent to call up 3 of our players this weekend, decided we would prefer to rearrange the game and submitted the supporting documentation to the FA. Game gets re-arranged and subsequently Jamaica have changed their mind and not called up Leigh. Not really sure how or why it reflects on the club (assuming we had the normal supporting documentation and followed protocol). |
Try telling that to some of their forumites - even their Admin, Marc is at it, posting this today -
"From the little I've read on socials, Ipswich fans' tone seems to be they've stitched us up.
I know we get accused of having an 'always us' complex, but when $hit like this happens, especially after the Exeter farce, you can see why people get frustrated."
Can't read, or only selectively want to read? 
He had in the rest of his post said "To get a game cancelled, without having the squad confirmed, simply shouldn't be allowed to happen. It's that simple. All kinds of theories floating round as usual, without knowing the facts. But yet again, complete disregard by the relevant authorities, for those on the wrong end of this - both the ridiculous ruling in the first place, then again by not reversing the mistake..." -
But the first extract I posted (which Marc wrote at 9.54 this morning) does rather support UnstableBlue's header. [Post edited 21 Mar 2023 13:14]

Surely his beef with cancelling the match should be with the EFL, FIFA and Jamaican FA rather than us? Or perhaps he would have preferred to wait and, if Leigh had been in the squad, cancel the game with four days notice? | |

Agree (though it's entirely a matter for Jamaica & Fifa, the EFL simply did their job & checked the documention was all present & correct - they're not involved in policy or decision-making).
I can understand Barnsley fans being miffed, but to start a baseless conspiracy theory out of diddly squat is shameful really, esp considering our previous good relationship with them. If they knew anything about ITFC, they'd know that our new owners are 100% sticklers for fair play, transparency & doing everything absolutely by the book. They (Gamechanger) are also not stupid, & wouldn't break any rules which could result in a serious punishment & damage to one of their best assets - the image & reputation of our Club. | |

Whilst I understand the sentiment completely, and knowing exactly how some club owners operate, how do you know the following is actually true?

So salty aren't they?
Part of me wishes we go 'ok, we'll play on Saturday without Burns and Broadhead' and go and slap them 0-4. | |

I think it's pretty obvious in everything they've said & done, and the way they've handled things since taking us over tbh. [Post edited 21 Mar 2023 16:16]

As with all fanbases, there are sensible ones and the not so sensible ones
We are certainly due some luck against them, given the scandalous decision earlier in the season in that game, it might still prove pivotal at the end of the season too |
Indeed. Some Barnsley fans obviously have short memories when it comes to which club should be feeling aggrieved. I'd happily swap the result of that game to go as it should have done and play this Saturday with 3 players missing. |  |
