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)

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.

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

Very convenient.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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