For the results of there covid test before the game tomorrow
Hope they dont get it called off
-
Maybe they are just scared of playing us right now.
A bit like Bolton were last season.
-
Lots of injuries as well.
-
Doesn’t sound too promising then does it.
Yet another game to play catch up on ?
-
So maybe no game tomorrow then
-
Why is it always against us?

Surely whether or not the game goes ahead won’t have anything to do with whether they’re concerned about playing us - they can’t fabricate test results can they?
-
Have they got to have tests before every game, it would be interesting to know if they had tests before Saturdays game.
-
It depends on how far the club doctor will go for the club
-
According to reports Kayden Jackson phoned in sick with symptoms and was told to isolate, No thought of cancelling their match on Saturday then v Accrington.
-
Apparently they have no fit strikers maybe a huge coincidence but no smoke without fire

Nick, mate, it was a joke comment.
Surely you didn’t think I was being serious?

No fit strikers?
Apart from the League 1 top scorer?

I've read that as well. Surely they should have cancelled the Accrington game in case any of the town players have the virus too? Once they'd get results back they'd know in time.

He's a winger. Gomes isn't a striker and he was the league's top scorer the other week.
Ipswich currently have no fit centre forwards. I however don't think the game is in any doubt unless their entire squad has Covid.
-
If they get three +ve tests, the chances are their squad is riddled with it. The match has to be called off in that case.
-

Nope. Tests in the EFL aren't compulsory.
-
So the club went ahead with a game the day after one of their players fell ill and only considered testing for Covid 19 after that game.
I put that down as gross negligence putting the Accrington team in danger of contacting the virus and the officials of the game and the danger of all of them carrying the virus back to different areas.
-
:that:
-
I thought some people had been to court for not self isolating.
-
Very well said Brian
-
Are they really going to do a Bolton on us for the second season in a row? If so their result at the weekend should not stand because it should not have taken place.

Interesting.
On one hand EFL clubs don’t have to do testing of players before games.
On the other hand, Did IT know a player had tested positive just 24 hours before their match against Accrington but didn’t announce it and went ahead with the match.
I wonder if the EFL have a rule about this?
-
I would think most games would get cancelled if they had to postpone because someone had symptoms at this time of year
-
Unless Ipswich wish to pay £120 each for private tests for all their squad and staff then they will fall under government rules. Only people who have symptoms should get tests.
Anyone who lives with someone who has tested positive should self-isolate - but anyone who works with them should go to work as normal unless they show symptoms. There was/is a thread about it on here.
Now tell me, is it people breaking the rules that has caused the virus to spread - or are the rules wrong? It can of course be both.
-
So many questions wilts.
It must be difficult having to make decisions when people don’t know all the answers.
-
Did a scotish team forfit 3 games due to the team testing positive for covid
-
Hound I am not sure that the player had tested positive but reported in sick with symptoms according to the report in their local rag on Friday morning.
Obviously they then took the decision to continue with the game on Saturday v Accrington Stanley, whether the decision was then taken to test the whole squad before our game is not reported, but a so called big club like Ipswich I would have thought could have access to the new 20 minute test in any case.
I am myself sceptical that they are not trying to manipulate the situation to their own advantage having starting with us and Accrington a team in form a run of matches against some fancied teams in a short period and with a number of injuries to the fist team squad.
I still maintain that from Friday morning they were negligent with regard to the health of all participants in their game with Accrington and the wider population especially when a rapid test is now available and any cost of paying for testing is insignificant to a club like Ipswich or any other football club at league level as a one off precaution.
Wilts that cost to test the whole squad I would hazard a guess would not be any larger than probably one players weekly wage at Ipswich.
-
Ipswich staff and players tested negative and the game will go ahead
-
There goes all the theories lol now let’s get another 3 points
-
That is good news, but reiterates the doubt that can be put forward before a game, and also verifies the fact that even in the EFL testing should take place before every game, and unnecessary chances were taken with the game v Accrington on Saturday, what use was it testing after the event or before the results were known?
This is not something that can be treated with anything else but the strictest security if the league programme is to have any chance of completion.
We are not on top of it, and a good percentage of the population are unwilling to follow set out procedures, especially people in the younger age groups.
It would have been interesting if one or two of their players had tested positive what the repercussions would have been, and if Ipswich would have cancelled the game something we will now never know. The thing to celebrate is the fact that no one tested positive and are healthy thank god.
-
The problem is selby the are what 40 people involved during each game players and staff( a guess on numbers) at some point someone will have corona symptoms every week, no games would get played so for me I can’t see what risks they took, Taylor went off with a upset stomach at the weekend many younger people with corona only end up with a upset stomach and nothing else
-

Kayden Jackson was positive though.
-
But unless he lives with team mates that isn’t an issue, especially as the others are reported to have tested negative.?

Was it Mother-un-well ?

Nah I'm just saying he's definitely unavailable.

No, Ham-ill-ton

Is that Hamilton Acamedicals?

How many players / staff need to be have tested negative for a game to be in doubt ?
-
Ipswich stated that the youth team was on stand by so even if their whole squad had tested positive, Ipswich would have sent a team today.
One team in Scotland - QOTS I think - had their entire coaching staff missing on Saturday so two of the players took charge, they still played the game.
All sorted anyway. Jackson reported symptoms, stayed home, he's got Covid but the rest of the squad thankfully haven't.
Kick off is 7pm!
-
Looking forward to this one - the first league fixture I have been able to watch this season and between two decent sides..
-
Knew having an account on this forum would come in useful again. How's everyone up there doing. Staying safe and all that. Anyway here we are again are we're playing Rovers tonight in what should be a good game even without a crowd present.
I had a look at your games so far and you've doing good, I expect a tough test up there later on. Yes we're unbeaten and top of the league but taking nothing for granted. It's going to be a long hard season ahead with risk once more of games being cancelled like before but it's one step at a time really.
We have a number of players out through injury and the Jackson news was unwanted but we're battling away and giving the league a go. Of course we really want to back at Championship level but it's going to take time. Lambert isn't to everyone's liking but if he can take us back up he would have won a few people over.

Always good to hear (sensible) opposition fans views. We’ve been playing well but usually just for half a game. Darren has put together a great squad and there seems to be togetherness. Should be a cracking game. Someone will get a thrashing when it all clicks but not expecting that tonight. Only saving grace is you not having to do the journey
-

Silly buggers. If they'd done that, they'd have had to call off their match on Saturday.
That's how it works with young players, right? :silly:

Oops! Sometimes we can never foresee the outcomes of certain games, eh, roversdude?
:facepalm:

Reverse psychology lol

Their defender looked like he was waiting for a bus when he gave the penalty away.

Yes, a slow coach. 😉
-
He looked pedestrian all game, him and the keeper were doing their best to mess up playing out from the back - reminded me of us with Daniels last season

Reverse psychology lol
And it worked, eh? Same again on Sat’day?
