Kick about in the Sainsbury's car park - headers and volleys first to 10 goals?

That's correct - they're not happy

Following the press release published by Tottenham at 9 p.m. this Wednesday, Stade Rennais F.C. wishes to clarify the following facts. In a video conference at 7.45 p.m. between representatives of UEFA, Tottenham and SRFC, the Spurs director of football announced her intention not to play the UEFA Europa Conference League game. Thursday evening. Unilateral decision which has not been confirmed by UEFA in any way. The Tottenham representative declined to announce the number of her players affected by the Covid after the rule says a game must be played as long as the team has 13 outfielders and a goalkeeper. She argued for a decision by the English authorities without advancing any official document. With the match not officially canceled by UEFA, Stade Rennais F.C. maintained their decision to play. Faced with this "London fog", the SRFC reserves the right to appeal to UEFA. This lack of fair play is all the more glaring as Tottenham confirmed the match by email in the early afternoon before warning Rennes of their intention not to play immediately after landing in London City.

Much as I get their annoyance at the timing surely Rennes must understand there are people’s health at stake here (and will want to keep their players safe too) so I find their official response utterly bewildering. Evenmore so as they’re already through as group winners

I’d be more understanding if Vitesse posted their grievances.

Rennes are now my least favourite club outside of England

What BS. Blow your nose and play the game. Have you not noticed how every time a footballer tests positive for COVID it is accompanied by a complete lack of concern for the individuals health? This is not because everyone involved in football is a callous git.
