Bitterness? You asked a simple question, i and others have given honest answers, because it doesn’t suit your agenda don’t go all ? on us.
I can only judge on what I can see - a club follows the rules and protocols just like other clubs but appear to be highlighted as falsifying Covid results to get a game postponed for some unknown reason.
Whilst i suspect clubs aren’t perfect in all respects I don’t see Liverpool or indeed any club falsifying Covid results just so they can get a game postponed - it maybe naive but there is certainly no precedent to suggest it’s happen. Even more so when each club has come and explain every situation- and it’s all happening is multiple sports with games postponed because of Covid cases.
If a team is caught falsifying the results then lll put my hands up and say I got it wrong but I don’t see clubs going to that level.
I'm not surprised there is no precedent, it is not like clubs have had to postpone games for Covid for many decades. However, Liverpool may well be the club to set that precedent. I've raised an eyebrow on a number of occasions when teams have had games postponed. Even if Covid tests were genuine on most occasions, would it not be very easy to declare other players "injured" just to ensure they meet the criteria to have the game postponed?

Injuries wasn’t the reason why we asked for the game to be postponed - we haven’t got that many.
The club using an independent company came back with 40 Positive PCR results for staff and players at the training ground - this was not long after we had four others out with Covid
Because it was such a high amount the training ground had to close and they then did more testing the next day and it was then most came back negative apart from TAA and some staff members , they then had to do a third round of testing to ensure all those false positives were exactly that ( apart from a couple ) - once that was done on third round and the tests came back negative then that’s when the training ground was back open ( believe the Friday ) and some sort of normality resumes
No for me that’s quite an elaborate plan just so that the club could postpone a game that would gain them any advantage at all - the same players would were out for when it was due to be played are still out ? - so it’s seems quite a lot of work to create issues for no gain at all ?

Apparently Wilshere has been training with you. If he comes back it'll be like a new signing.....Arteta got to take a massive chunk of the blame, not only for not selling the clown when he shouldve in the summer, but insisting how important he is and telling the fans how wrong we are about him, to letting AMN go out on loan early in january despite us having no midfield for the month
North London derby at the weekend, midfield of Lokonga and Chambers lol

I'm getting deja vu.
40 positive tests were returned so the club followed the rules set out - the club use an independent testing company to ensure there is full disclosure
Is corruption that bad that a club would lie just so that a game can be postponed
And for what reason would the club want the club postponed? The only play who wouldn’t have been available that was last night was Matip - the injured players were still going to be injured and the players still away for AFCON - we also lost home advantage for the second leg , now have to play 2 games in 4 days .
So the club some how falsified 40 PCR tests , to ensure the training ground was closed all just to have Matip available - he is good but not that good.
So what was the reason for the club to go to that lengths just to get a game postponed?
Multiple clubs have had games postponed- some have had two yet not a peep of corruption ?
All through the Covid thread there are many Footballers highlighted for breaking Covid rules for parties and disrespecting the rules - we have a club follow the rules as required yet then get fingers pointed at them.
Is the bitterness that bad in football now , is it that far gone now for some to immediately look towards cheating and corruption.
The Covid card being in many walks of life now is ridiculous it’s such a cop out.
Got to feel for the genuine ones but atm it’s like Peter and the wolf.
Anyone with real Covid probably wouldn’t be playing football 3 days later.
I remember hearing on the radio it was due to not having the limited squad numbers league games require, the FA cup apparently lets clubs choose from their whole squad including U23, U18's etc, not a preselected and named list of players like the PL,CL etc do. So they were able to call on a different pool of players for the FA Cup game.Because you played a few days before the game in question and a few days after. It was cancelled due to injuries and Mane/Salah being away more so than Covid. Which makes it a farce. If you had Man Utd or Man City in the FA Cup instead of a walkover I've no doubt that game would've been cancelled too. Most clubs with genuine Covid outbreaks miss 2-3 games, not just one favorable one. Not blaming Liverpool for trying it on, other clubs have done the same and the fault lies with the powers that be for letting clubs get away with it and not having proper rules in place.
If Arsenal postponed the second leg due to Covid for a week until Smith-Rowe, Saka and Odegaard were fully fit I'm sure you'd call it a farce too.....

Blah, blah, blah blah, blah… what a crock of… like I said, naïve.
The percentage of false positives is well documented. You think Liverpool haven’t got less than 40 when the predicted rate is 2. Naive or just fluke? You’re intelligent, you choose.
Excellent response ?
I have no idea what the percentage is ? Why would I
The clubs report the positive test results to the authorities - I guess if they lied about the number of positive results then it will be easy enough for EFL to find out. But they were satisfied with it - give them a shout and let them know
Yet more blah, blah, blah. Isn’t it amazing how you chase the far end of a fart when it suits but stick your head in the sand when it suits. BTW, I posted the percentage of false positives as per the ONS statistics but you, conveniently ignored it. And you also conveniently ignored the “PCR” comment about when the Prem League dropped them, 4th Jan, but St Kloooop said they’d been used after that date #fishy… amazing how you post detail but then become oh so vague if it doesn’t suit.
Its done, it’s over. The league have accepted it but if you think it doesn’t look a bit odd… aye, that’s fine.
Premier League to stop twice-weekly PCR tests for players and staff

Sorry I thought the report says they were stopping being used from the Thursday which is the 6th - the day the first leg was supposed to be - so the PCR tests that were done on the 4/5th and produced the false positives of were within the guidelines then ?
