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

Shit, yeah. Not a great week for you to say the least

not in the 14 they don’t

They do if they are registered in the squad list.

 

[Grendel]

They do if they are registered in the squad list.

Not in the 14 they have had to have played a competitive game.

It’s obvious the virus and the imposed restrictions are an issue - I know about 20 people who are isolating at the minute

 

[Nick]

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

Who said anything about frightened? I said teams will be manipulating.

 

[Grendel]

Who said anything about frightened? I said teams will be manipulating.

Whats the motive? And are they faking results?

 

[Blind-Faith]

I’m guessing this will get called off tomorrow, planning on watching on ifollow if it goes a head which I hope it does.

to get my live football fix I’m off up Solihull vs Stockport, get £5 off for being a ST holder

If they are on the registered squad list they don't have to have played a game. It's also League game, not competitive. If they aren't on the squad list they have to have played a league game.

You're getting worse than O'Day.

 

[Nick]

Whats the motive? And are they faking results?

To stop having to play with a very weakened team. Pretty obvious really.

 

[Grendel]

To stop having to play with a very weakened team. Pretty obvious really.

So are they faking results?

 

[clint van damme]

To stop having to play with a very weakened team. Pretty obvious really.

Wonder what the procedure is for the EFL verifying the number of cases?

 

[Grendel]

Wonder what the procedure is for the EFL verifying the number of cases?

test submissions and then the days of isolation

 

[shmmeee]

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

Yes. We’ve had injury lists like that before and fielded a side.

 

[Nick]

So are they faking results?

It wouldn't be too hard to do if they wanted.

It's not just results, they could claim they have been in contact with somebody with it so have to isolate.

Are the EFL going to go and test their nan they saw at Christmas too?

Interesting
Reading between the lines it seems that they're still hoping to get it postponed
But then they go on to encourage their supporters to travel
God help them with their travelling fans if they do engineer a postponement late tomorrow

There is virtually never an advantage in getting a game called off

 

[Nick]

There is virtually never an advantage in getting a game called off

There is if your best players can't play.

 

[pusbccfc]

Where has it been reported as being off?

Everything I read was that Millwall wanted it off and it may well be.

That's pretty much what happened.

 

[Grendel]

There is if your best players can't play.

By faking results?

 

[Grendel]

It wouldn't be too hard to do if they wanted.

It's not just results, they could claim they have been in contact with somebody with it so have to isolate.

You don’t have to self isolate if fully jabbed if a contact has it done you?

 

[pusbccfc]

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

I agree with what you're trying to say, but very few said it was off.

Majority said Millwall were trying to postpone it.

 

[Nick]

You don’t have to self isolate if fully jabbed if a contact has it done you?

I didn't say they do.

I said that's another way players are missing games. It isn't just about the player testing positive.

Robins said that was the case with one of our players the other day.

 

[Grendel]

Yes. We’ve had injury lists like that before and fielded a side.

when?

 

[Grendel]

I didn't say they do.

I said that's another way players are missing games. It isn't just about the player testing positive.

Robins said that was the case with one of our players the other day.

Do you have evidence?

 

[Nick]

By faking results?

You really think clubs can't get around it if they want to?

 

[steve cooper]

It's not just results, they could claim they have been in contact with somebody with it so have to isolate.

I assume they would have already used that ploy to get the numbers down if they could. It could still happen today or tomorrow, but that would be easy to verify whether it is true.

 

[Nick]

Do you have evidence?

Of what? I'm not saying about robins saying it for no reason am I?

It isn't just about players being positive. They can also be isolating without having it.

Like I said, a shit o day. Get back to the politics threads.

 

[baldy]

when?

How far back in time do you wanna go? We must’ve missed that many players before & still fielded a team in our history surely

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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

Do you think Millwall would say ‘fair enough let them have the day off’?

 

[Grendel]

Of what? I'm not saying about robins saying it for no reason am I?

It isn't just about players being positive. They can also be isolating without having it.

Like I said, a shit o day. Get back to the politics threads.

I don’t know why you are so vexed. I just asked for supporting evidence of faked results as I personally don’t believe this is happening.

 

[Grendel]

When? I mentioned several senior players

 

[baldy]

When? I mentioned several senior players

Wait there & I’ll just go through the complete history of every one of our matches since we were formed & tell you…geezus christ

 

[Nick]

I don’t know why you are so vexed. I just asked for supporting evidence of faked results as I personally don’t believe this is happening.

Not vexed in the slightest.

You asked for evidence of one of our players isolating without having it. It was said by robins a couple of days ago.

It isn't just positive tests that will stop players.

I'm just correcting your shite.

 

[Grendel]

Do you think Millwall would say ‘fair enough let them have the day off’?

if those players had Covid I’d expect the game off. It’s also not what I’m asking would you not cry foul if we had Wilson jobello Shipley Tavares hillsner Drysdale De Costa having to play against a fully fit opposition if they tested positive?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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

When we were ravaged by injuries last season nobody among our opponents gave a fuck and were happy to play then. I doubt Millwall are bothered by how our small squad will be disadvantaged by a pile up of rearranged fixtures when we have largely kept Covid out of the side.

 

[Nick]

Course you would.
