The 'subject to any further positive COVID-19 test results' bit, the players were tested yesterday weren't they? Will they be testing again before the game, thought the EFL required 2 tests a week?

How does the testing actually work, is there any oversight or do the just take the clubs word for it? That article says Millwall wanted the game off, assume there's something in place so they can't just fake a couple of failed LFTs to get their way.

It will be Millwall who jib I guess if anything - I reckon there would be a reasonable walk up if definitely on as people missed their football buzz and maybe the weather backed off a bit ( rain)

 

[Liquid Gold]

Don't blame you.
Is Bristol still shrouded in blanket of fog?
Drove up from Devon early hours of Christmas eve/ Christmas day, conditions were horrendous.

To be honest I don’t know. Still in isolation as it stands.

 

[ccfc92]

So is that saying they have 14, then one more positive means the game is off?

Very convenient.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Yeah I can see another push by them to get it called off tomorrow.

 

[steve cooper]

I assume this to be true as it is official Millwall correspondence. The EFL have set a precedent now and in theory will have to apply that consistently. It will be interesting to see how much that changes the amount of games postponed at the weekend and beyond.

Lots of words with widely accepted meanings had a slightly different origin.

It’s not slightly different is it

Yep.... at least one positive test will appear I'm sure!!!

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

From reading that statement it sounds like they’ll be trying everything in their power to get it called off tomorrow.

 

[Sick Boy]

I’d be very surprised if it goes ahead.

 

[steve cooper]

I'm not going to get into an argument over a word I used which is confirmed as accepted usage by several widely accepted sources.
I'm more interested in whether we play tomorrow.

They going to get it called off for sure.

 

[Garryb80]

See the 'ITK' twitter accounts are now desperately hoping its off so they can be right. Tragic really isnt it.

 

[Nick]

They will all be sneezing on each other.

They got it right tbf...

 

[pusbccfc]

Well done to the EFL. No excuses. Millwall have an under 23s set up, they can fill the rest of the bench with those.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’m sure there will be an injury in that 14 tomorrow.

 

[Garryb80]

They got it right tbf...

Why is the game off then?

 

[Grendel]

They will all be sneezing on each other.

If we had Moore, Dabo, Mcfazdean, Hamer, Walker, Gyokeres, waghorn, Clarke Salter unavailable would you think we should try and play?

 

[Grendel]

Well done to the EFL. No excuses. Millwall have an under 23s set up, they can fill the rest of the bench with those.

Unless they have played a game they don’t count do they?

 

[pusbccfc]

Unless they have played a game they don’t count do they?

They don't count within the 14 players but they can field them as additional subs etc.

 

[pusbccfc]

Why is the game off then?

All I read this morning was Millwall trying to get the game off, which is what happened.

 

[Sick Boy]

All I read this morning was Millwall trying to get the game off, which is what happened.

Where has it been reported as being off?

 

[oscillatewildly]

Why is the game off then?

As good as - Just waiting on the official announcement.

 

[Garryb80]

All I read this morning was Millwall trying to get the game off, which is what happened.

Several accounts announced the game was off, had been told by contacts etc. Then when its not called off they desperately pray tomorrow it is to save credibility

 

[Garryb80]

As good as - Just waiting on the official announcement.

You have a good wait then. Ill send you updates from the game

 

[steve cooper]

The covid tests are PCR, and are confirmed independently as far as I'm aware.
Surely if Millwall were thinking in terms of something devious, they would already have got the numbers below the 14 threshold before now.

 

[kg82]

If we had Moore, Dabo, Mcfazdean, Hamer, Walker, Gyokeres, waghorn, Clarke Salter unavailable would you think we should try and play?

But are they unavailable? You constantly come up with these theoretical scenarios.

 

[Nick]

Unless they have played a game they don’t count do they?

If they are registered they do

 

[Grendel]

But are they unavailable? You constantly come up with these theoretical scenarios.

Well if they had Covid they would - millwall players live in a high infection rate area. The point is they can’t lie to get the game called off. If the players have the virus oddly they have it

 

[Nick]

If we had Moore, Dabo, Mcfazdean, Hamer, Walker, Gyokeres, waghorn, Clarke Salter unavailable would you think we should try and play?

So like I said, try to manipulate it to get games off.

 

[Grendel]

If they are registered they do

not in the 14 they don’t

 

[Grendel]

So like I said, try to manipulate it to get games off.

So they are faking Covid results? Out of interest why? Are they frightened to play a team with 2 wins in 12?
