Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Their team coach travelled through Crawshawbooth earlier so presuming the game goes ahead!

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Whilst the game may be called off (I don’t know), how have you interpreted their tweet in that way Steve?

Can see football being suspended for a short while in the new year.

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Bet it gets postponed. Hope I'm wrong.
Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Something like 0.5% of tests carried out in Premier league have been positive.... Not that messy. Six hamstrings wouldn't get a game called off...
Re: Blades reporting positive tests
It didn't... I was just saying where I'd got it from

Unlucky Sheff Utd. Hard lines. Play the game.
Going to be bumpy ride over the next month or so for football, but I’d hope and expect there is enough collective mettle to push through.

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Can you catch a hamstring from somebody else?
Could you then pass that hamstring on to your elderly parent who then dies from a hamstring injury because they have pre-existing conditions?
If not, and I’ve not checked, then it’s not the same is it?

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Push through the deaths, ignore the heartbreaking messages from NHS staff about exhaustion ..... a game must go on.
Not sure I share your sentiment ksr.

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
The team coaches were parked outside the Crow Wood hotel around 3.00pm. When's the latest they get tested before a game? Surely not later than that.

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Yes okay, but the idea a club would manufacture fake COVID test results toget a game called off is just daft.
The risk is that a lot of positive tests (I guess) increases the possibility that the virus will spread throughout competing teams, Burnley in this case.
Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Let’s say a Sheff United player has the virus and there is a false negative test. Or alternately the symptoms haven’t just shown yet.
Let’s say that player then passes the virus on to one of our lads. Who passes it on to somebody else in the dressing room after the game. Tomorrow at training those two pass it on to Dyche and Woan and two other players. And then there’s a round of testing and those six are positive and have to isolate for ten days.
At the start of January. Just as the takeover goes through when Dyche would want to meet ALK or prospective new signings. And we have big games coming up.
Still alright with Sheff United cracking on are we?

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Well it is messy because City got their game postponed last night because of it. Also, hamstrings aren’t highly contagious as far as I’m aware.
Re: Blades reporting positive tests
That’s fine, you don’t have to share my sentiment. I don’t share the sentiment that says shut everything down.
I will say though that it’s not just a game.

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
But the only staff/players turning up will be those with negative tests, so not a risk.
The hamstring example was about having a game called off because of the number of players missing. Six hamstrings the game goes ahead. Six Covid and it gets called off.

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
Let's just get to 5pm and we see the teams announced and away we go.

Anyway, Ian Woan has already had it. Which on current numbers gives him less than a 1 in a million chance of getting it again.
Re: Blades reporting positive tests
It’s not just the players who are at risk if it goes ahead after some positive results, it’s also their families. All those who are suggesting it would be fine to go ahead (because they obviously know best) are deciding that it’s Ok for football to come before the health of players families - including Ben Mee’s baby daughter.
It’s not more important than that. I’ll trust the medical staff from both clubs to advise and decide the right thing to do, not people on a message board.

That scenario could refer to every single game that has taken place since lockdown. Unaware of it ever happening though.Socrates wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 3:56 pmLet’s say a Sheff United player has the virus and there is a false negative test. Or alternately the symptoms haven’t just shown yet.

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
You’re so close to getting it.
It could happen every game. Dead right.
And we don’t know when it happens. Dead right.
Can you work out the conclusion?
Re: Blades reporting positive tests
I understand that the footballers are indeed taking advice from medical professionals and are not using this message board to make their decisions. So you needn't worry on that score.Zlatan wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 4:10 pmIt’s not just the players who are at risk if it goes ahead after some positive results, it’s also their families.

Re: Blades reporting positive tests
It’s been reported 20% of negatives are false.
What if the swab was so early in the cycle that the virus couldn’t be detected?
What if they met somebody with the virus one second after the swab was taken?
And to reiterate again. You can’t catch a hamstring which then is passed on which kills somebody with pre-existing conditions.
Re: Blades reporting positive tests
I mean .... he wasn’t being hysterical.
But if he was ... and he wasn’t..... aren’t the hundreds dead every day decent grounds for it? All he’s suggesting that we take teeny tiny steps to do our bit to stop those.

He was.
Luckily, there are teeny tiny steps in place to stop the spread. They've been implemented by Sheff Utd. They're the same teeny tiny steps that have been in place since football restarted in June.

Can’t be long before this thread is locked, I thought we weren’t aloud to discuss Covid, probably for the reason that’s happening on this thread, posters bickering and falling out, which becomes quite tedious!
