The Humble Realist Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I notice the club has released a statement again regarding the womens team and covid https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/club-statement-bristol-city-women-1/ Given the mens team have reportedly experienced an outbreak too why is there no such similar statement ? Appears to be a very open strategy regarding the womens team but a more closed one for the men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said should Deano develop covid symptoms and have to isolate that would be announced on the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't keep Wiemann or Diedhou testing positive and having to miss matches a secret so far as I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I think the person's right to confidentiality, might also be playing a part. Dont think there was ever an official confirmation of Andreas Weimann having covid for example. And yet, it was announced that Diedhiou tested positive a few weeks ago.

Selred Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 This is the manager whose isolating, it's different to players. We will probably want to keep players quiet to stop the opposition knowing more about who may or may not play against Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will win against Derby so what is the issue ? all this crap around not telling over clubs who has the virus with opposing teams is utter nonsense . The football league manage covert testing In conjunction with government guide lines and it is law that they state which players from which clubs are tested as positive and this is then open to all teams in the English leagues.

Lrrr Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 If Dean returned a positive test there's probably a good chance we'd hear about it, especially if he had to miss a game because of it. Because we're in an international window anyone with a positive test shouldn't be missing a game barring adverse reaction to the virus so becomes less newsworthy and as said above a right to privacy, any player missing a game would have speculation about to so they get cleared up.
