Really ??

Get  a grip Luton off as well , so sounds for real 

Frankly could  not give a toss , dozen players out , odds on a decent defeat , regroup and ‘ go again ‘ ! 

 

 

 

 

 

Careful. With a username like yours some will start blaming you as promoting a new super virulent strain within the club and being related to Ashton in some way and fuel any  conspiracy.

Testing labs are not shut over New Year.

Project restart gave clubs very strict protocols to follow, when rates were fairly low. The current rate of infections caused all football in Europe to stop back in the spring.  Either the strict measures come back in, or you might as well postpone.

20-30 people regularly mixing with little social distancing, mask wearing and no regular testing is only ever going to end one way.

I’m not being funny but how on earth do you know that the private test facility the club use is open today?

The only people who had symptoms could get a government test, even then it wouldn’t be back in time. 

The whole squad and backroom staff have to be privately tested.

He doesn’t know. Hasn’t got a clue.

This doesn’t seem like it was such a good idea now does it?? (Below)
 

As others have said, I’ve felt as if the ‘protocols’ have been a bit lax in football for a while now. 
Lots of hand shaking, group hugs etc. We even hear earlier that the likes of our own Mr Ashton, a CEO, is regularly popping into the dressing room before a match. Seems a bit wrong when really as few people as possible should be in there!!

At least racism was given a proper good seeing too and won’t be back again.

The more I see that the more I shake my head. The fricking officials are in there too.

From Holden. In his interview yesterday with Gregor 

Was he wearing a mask ?  Is Gregor the super spreader? In the meantime I'm going to throw a curve ball for consideration. Is it vaguely possible that one of the players picked up the virus from another source other than Mark Ashton.  Unlikely I understand but is there an outside chance of contracting it from another family member over the Xmas period ?  I understand fully that the other 50,000 or so infections per day nationwide are down to Ashton but just maybe not in this instance. Unlikely as I say but could be an outside possibility.

From my opinion unlike you we have been very lucky with injuries and tomorrow’s game could have been one game too far especially after wednesdays tough game .I couldn’t give a toss about these conspiracy theories our club has wished the staff of Bristol city a speedy recovery and accepted it no matter what the fans think. I look forward  to replaying this game and who knows we might all be be able to be there.

Let's hope all is above board at our end because taken from elsewhere, there would be sanctions possible. Suspect it'll be alright though.

@phantom Just have to bear in mind, in case any shortcomings do exist. I think nothing will come of it but we have to be certain as the EFL do investigate the circs behind every postponement.

Mind you the number of postponements and the speed at which they investigate- if we hit a miracle run, maybe we'll be promoted before the Investigation begins!

Complete knobs, some will never learn. What is the IQ of a footballer?

Not just footballers- don't think those who run it or have run the game are all that either! Sepp Blatter, Shaun Harvey and Greg Clarke (FIFA, EFL, FA) to name 3!

Get the impression the FA especially has been badly run for years- but others aren't far behind. A Brain's Trust it surely is not.

Another outbreak and surely some disciplinary repercussion is due. 

You kept stating the club should be fined when we had the outbreak last November, back then you never explained why?

Perhaps you could explain why Bristol City should be punished?

Plants, surely by now you must realise that Covid19 was started worldwide by Mark Ashton.

I hope the extra rest your team gets helps you to batter Tottenham in your semi final.

I wonder why the Government hasn't taken up the EFL's obviously infallible track & trace system.

Agreed. If any player has caught it from their son or daughter the kids should be made to go without tea for a week.

I don't think for one minute there would be anything underhand, for one thing we've never been smart enough to take advantage of situations .
I must admit I was a bit quizzical over the Lab shutting for the Bank Holiday, seems very strange in the current climate. But to use an excuse that is so easily checked would be ridiculous . As people have said, there are protocols in place, that would apply to reporting cases and reacting to cases too. I was taking the piss out of R*vers , when they called off games recently they didn't release how many cases or any details, we don't get to hear everything. 

In some way, I would be a little impressed if we did make a situation work in our favour. If there are people with minor symptoms and we genuinely can't double check, great. Call the game off and hope we have payers back in the 10 day window. I really don't think the Club would do that, Steve Lansdown comes across as a very straight laced guy. I also hope that it's all false positives or just cold symptoms, wouldn't wish COVID on anyone.

I read on the other thread, it maybe nothing- apologies if already posted- but the wording was interesting?

Mentioned the apparent Covid outbreak in our case, whereas Luton v QPR did not.

Would it not be just like us, or just our luck, to be the first to fall foul of this new tightening up by the EFL?

Semantics probably. Luton players have had tests and provided positive results, where as ours are suffering from "symptoms" and haven't been tested so nothing proved yet.
