There’s no discernible difference between their first team squads and their youth players.Not one game postponed in the top four Scottish divisions. ‘Curious and curiouser! Cried Alice.’

To be fair to him he questioned the outbreak at the swamp.Klopp is firmly against stopping it.
As long as all safety protocols are rigidly maintained and clubs manage the cases well it shouldn't be a problem.
I suppose whatever keeps
s £££££ to the premier league will be done.

What if it’s only 3 players infected but they’re all goalkeepers?This is what they should do.
A game is suspended if 5 first team players from 1 team are positive on the morning of the game.
However, only vaccinated players count.
If you've got 8 players missing but 4 of them are unvaccinated, tough shit, replace them with kids. If your kids are all positive, tough shit, forfeit.
Apparently only 68% of PL players are double vaccinated. I think it's becoming really obvious that some clubs have not tried to get their players vaccinated and are seeing much worse outbreaks. Maybe that's due to the vaccination rate, but maybe low vax rate indicates how seriously they're taking the whole coronavirus threat in the first place. How strict are things around the ground, are the players exposing themselves to the virus unnecessarily, are the non-football staff keeping on top of it?
Pep's been quite vocal about getting vaccinated, we had an outbreak at the club but it was stopped quickly. Some clubs are having outbreaks for 2 weeks and getting 20+ people infected. Liverpool, who are 99% vaccinated according to Klopp, haven't had any issues.
Postponing the whole league just puts the problem further down the line. It doesn't solve anything except for the clubs who get major outbreaks.

Emergency loan as per the rules.What if it’s only 3 players infected but they’re all goalkeepers?
Number of available goalkeepers is one of the factors in calling off a game or not I believe.What if it’s only 3 players infected but they’re all goalkeepers?

Southampton were allowed to sign Willy Caballero on a short term contract.Number of available goalkeepers is one of the factors in calling off a game or not I believe.
That rule will still apply, not sure if Southsmptons keepers are injured or covid.Southampton were allowed to sign Willy Caballero on a short term contract.
But if you've got all your senior keepers out with covid the game will be called off.
Allegedly, there are more positive cases at the red dippers so Bingo might swiftly change his mind.Klopp is firmly against stopping it.
