I'm afraid that is wrong. You do not need a test to get on a Ryanair plane although they will sell you one if you buy their amber travel package. That seems to have created a lot of confusion.
You currently only have to complete the Spanish health form to board a Ryanair flight and to enter Spain. NO tests required....

Well we had to have one so if anyone wants to risk it go ahead

You didn't HAVE to have one. You CHOSE to have one.
I am here. Flew Ryanair 9th June and no test required. As I said they will sell you one and allow you to upload a result but it was, and still is, NOT required.

You were lucky we even had to show it at the desk and I certainly didn't choose to have one.

I wasn't lucky. You were misled and wasted money on a pre-flight PCR if you flew from the UK and had been nowhere else 14 days before flying. You don't have to upload a test result to check in and get your boarding pass or show any test results at any desks.

I refer you to your post of 16th June:
"We flew in on Monday this week no questions asked. We filled in the SPTH form online also had a PCR test no one asked to see it "
!!!!!
Thank you all for your advice. I cancelled the 2 £85 tests I had booked in Boots, then had a heart attack when I read this thread!!! I feel confident in the advice given about not having to take a test to fly into Spain..... and will update when we arrive 🤗
Thanks again
