This, and the big reason why the game should not be postponed. I'm sure there is some jigggery pokey going on, esp when it was Lincoln themselves who did the tests off their own bat. What greater excuse is there, in the middle of a pandemic, to say "sorry, players positive, call the game off".JaShea99 said:Even more annoyed about this now we’ve won.

Mmmmm......To have lied about the results and ask everyone involved within the club to lie is one hell of an ask.golfaddick said:

The players wives and girlfriends etc would also have to keep quiet too.
I doubt Lincoln would go as far as telling outright lies that may come out either now or in the future.....way too risky if you ask me.4 -
We can win at Sunderland.7

They still have to play us. They haven't dodged that bullet.2

Darren Moore missed Sheffield Wednesday's game today after testing positive, so it's still around0

We get 3 extra days rest on Sunderland, although I’m sure we can say we’re more rusty than them as an excuse1

Still does his radio punditry and is a very well known and liked personality in the county.
My god, he’s put on one he’ll of a lot of weight though.0 -
I thought BBC Radio Lincolnshire sacked him for using such sexist terms as 'handbags' and 'drama queen' live on air.3

Last I heard he wasn’t actually sacked but has had to undergo some ‘training’ by the BBC on what is current acceptable terminology...........PC in other words.Addickted said:I thought BBC Radio Lincolnshire sacked him for using such sexist terms as 'handbags' and 'drama queen' live on air.

Next week Steve Thomson will be saying 'manbags' and 'drama king.'
There - sorted.
I've still never seen a man dance around his manbag or fight with it yet though. Has this become 'a thing' yet?

Lincoln v MK is now April 13th, meaning we must play May 4th, I think.0

Getting to the "shit hitting the fan" time for the EFL with all these postponements, i can see that very soon we are into a never ending extension of the season scenario, we can't afford another game being called off, with the same being for other teams, before the 8th May level playing field final day, could be very interesting.0

Well, no other club has tested positive over the past month.....just Lincoln. A team short on confidence, out of form & missing their top goalscorer through injury. Strange that. Same with Peterborough over xmas. Never happens to a team who have won their last 6 & has everyone fit.eastterrace6168 said:Getting to the "shit hitting the fan" time for the EFL with all these postponements, i can see that very soon we are into a never ending extension of the season scenario, we can't afford another game being called off, with the same being for other teams, before the 8th May level playing field final day, could be very interesting.15 -

Mind you if so wasn't much of a suggestion was it, so let's just see how we go, especially come the 8th May, just needs one team to cry wolf, and the whole day is postponed until everyone is fit to turn out for the same time same day kick off eh, season could go on forever.

Well - there are some out there who think that every government, every scientist and every health care professional in the entire world is in on a hoax, so a few footy players and officials in rural Lincolnshire's a piece of piss...SoundAsa£ said:

Dont people go on.
If Lincoln are saying theyve cases of coronavirus, that's good enough for me.

I remembering banging in about the Peterborough game being called off OUTSIDE the 10 day isolation protocol. Nobody kicked up a fuss & look what happened. We lost the re-arranged game. We might well have lost the original one but at the time they would have had players who hadn't had trained when we were on a 4 game unbeaten run. When we played them we were in a mini slump. Just ask yourselves why they wanted to call the original game off - and remember it was ELEVEN days after positive cases were announced.
I bet if a couple of positive tests were found a week before the end of the season the EFL wouldn't say a word. No way will the last game of the season will be postponed by a week.

I am merely saying that Peterborough bent the rules back in late December & it worked for them. Who's to say Lincoln aren't doing the same here.
The EFL said that the testing between March 21-28 returned just 3 positive cases - all from the same club. I dont think they named that club. A day later Lincoln decided to do their own testing & came back saying a number of players & staff had tested positive & they were shutting down their training ground. They were quite specific in again not naming anyone involved. Covid protocol says that anyone being in close contact to a person testing positive should self isolate for 10 days. My point is - if the positive tests in the EFL testing was before March 26 then the 10 days self isolation ends before our game was supposed to have been played. So, by Lincoln then having their own testing done after the 28th (and not naming who was then tested positive) they could then call our game off as any positive results (and therefore any isolation) would mean the 10 day protocol wiped out our game. Handy don't you think - especially as they havent won a game since early March when their top goalscorer got injured (along with a few other players over the past 6 weeks). Appleton is on record a week after Grant got injured saying that it would be a miracle if he played again this season but a 2nd scan would tell them more. Nothing more has been said.
Call me cynical but I'm wondering if we will see Grant play in the last couple of games.

Sods bloody law golfie, lets just hope we are away and clear of them by then, lot can happen to both teams between now and May 8th0 -
Golfie is talking Jorge Grant up as though he's Lewandowski.
Fuck me, the guy has got 11 league goals this season...............9 of them are penalties!15 -
Not knowing anything about Lincoln I expect he offers more than just pure goals, especially if he is the first choice striker. But that being said after 6 - 8 weeks out with a reoccurring ligament injury I would expect him to be able to walk back in and start performing to his best anyway.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Golfie is talking Jorge Grant up as though he's Lewandowski.

I personally don't really buy this conspiracy theory that Lincoln have purposesly done this to help him them out in the longer term. Not even going into how easy it would be to varify if that happened, there's way to many variables in to which to make it even worthwhile for them to attempt.
Other teams they play may also be getting players back, may get into a run of form. Fixture congestion may mean that Lincoln lose more players, or there players become fatigued etc. To me it makes no sense to even try and risk because it's just as likely to hinder as it is to help.1
