If allowed would probably have about as much impact as kneeling before games.

The fact that you have brought it up tells you that the kneeling before games is having the desired effect of keeping the point of the kneeling on the agenda. The purpose of the kneeling is not to fix racism, it's to keep people talking about it |

You can cancel games due to international callups if needed

So if Wollacott and Williams are away in Qatar we could go the entire 5 weeks of the WC without a game?

Isn’t it minimum of 3 players away to request a postponement? I may be wrong tho. |

No way should we cancel 5 weeks worth of games IMO even if we’ve got 3 players at the WC
The backlog of games we would have to catch up on negates the advantage of getting those players back, just suck it up and try and do without

Think ahead and consider who we currently have as regular internationals and which of those we will have next season. What cannot obviously be factored in is any additions to the squad who in themselves may be internationals and will almost certainly be playing in Qatar. In fact I’ll go as far as to suggest that any managers/coaches/DOF looking in the closed season to strengthen their squads and we’ll certainly be one of them may in effect go out of their way to avoid offering them a contract at all. We’re not a PL or well off championship team able to absorb a player or two who’ll be missing for up to (five weeks?) plus friendliest to prep before a ball is kicked in anger. Balance that against the likely hood that any players we do have in the WC are unlikely to be playing after the initial group stages anyway.

We’ll also be without JoJo in January when Ghana will be in the African Nations Cup.
