Valencia.

If the other team can’t fulfil their fixture, whether their fault or out of their hands, they’re eliminated from the comp.

It’s harsh but allows the comp to carry on.

do Valencia have a history? ( just asking on behalf of an Italian chap )

I'm sure all 16m people could claim the exemption then ? Certainly an awful lot will need to work somewhere tomorrow.

The exact wording is "unpostponable working needs", which to be fair isn't doing a lot of good explaining which working situations are considered pressing and which aren't. This decree would have benefited from a little more thought and accurate wording before being published. Not to mention that they let the draft be leaked, which isn't really reassuring on the grip they have on the system right now.

Agnelli would.

I'm sure if he were to catch the virus we'd all be really upset. He's not young you know.

I'm not saying that people should not take into account elderly relatives at home or even themselves. I was telling the OP that the child would be fine.

sorry mate if sounded a little agresive,,i was more pointing to local councils not so much what you posted, probably the way i worded it,,if the local council can't assure 100% protection for the child which of course they cant then they should not play roulette with a childs life or those who live with them with use of their enforcement methods

That's not a bye though, it might be the sensible option, but UEFA will have to convene a meeting to kick a team out in that way, and I'm certain Atalanta would take them to court over loss of revenue, it could drag on longer than the rest of this season, then what ?

It'll also be interesting to see what happens if Italy suspends their season, and if it spreads to other leagues/countries.

Just as in other businesses, its quite possible that the loss of revenue caused by it will drive clubs out of business, the PL looks well placed compared to other leagues on that front.

I work in construction and currently on a job within several hospitals in UK. If things get worse I will have to pull myself out of work I reckon. Unfortunately, the nature of my job is not a "work from home" option, so it's going to be interesting how my company combats it.

Could always build yourself a new shed.

Its Italy, someone will have a grip on the system somewhere, and be making money out of it.

Younger than lot of other chairmen. And the unibrow would protect him.

Once a game is off in an international cup competition and can't be replayed, what do you do ? The next round gets held up indefinitely, and there's three more rounds after this, they can keep going towards the final where games are being played, but it can't be played because one side of the draw will be Valencia, or Atalanta, or x, or y, or z V Team A.

UEFA greed isn't an emergency, and if ordinary people in northern Italy are quarantined then surely footballers have to be too ?

Our numbers are beginning to grow like Italy's was 3 or 4 weeks ago, so it will come here too, football behind closed doors to start, then eventually called off imho, if I was liverpool I'd be wanting those three wins very quickly.....

I agree. If we want to slow down the spread then sporting events and large gatherings of people will be the first to be hit.

If a region gets put in lockdown, how the fuck do they get food. No wonder there’s panic buying going on.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

They need to put a ban on short selling on the markets too. Volatile enough without people trying to make money out of it.

$50bn made in last 7 days short selling shares

Not taking into account the food that is produced inside the region, I'm sure food transportation to stores etc. is still allowed.

With you, but in Italy no one is leaving their house. Streets are dead

Greek government has ruled all sporting events take place behind closed doors for next two weeks.

Even funnier if you lived in Italy.

Good decision. They haven't got lots of cases, do they?

Funnier still if I lived in Lombardy.

Funnier still if I lived in Lombardy.

Yet funnier if you lived on a street of some kind.
