Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[waspish]

I know. If city or the authorities said it had to be played behind closed doors I would have no complaints

But those corrupt twats pushing for it stinks of them just trying to get any advantage they can get

I’ll make this point again if next Tuesdays game is behind closed doors and that night Wednesday night league games around the country are being played in front of crowds then weekend again crowds are aloud this doesn’t sit right with me meaning the authorities in this country not making the decision to play behind closed doors or suspend all games while a really big game is.

Just watched the first race at Cheltenham, massive crowds. UEFA will fuck us over whatever.

No prove that UEFA are pushing this to be behind closed doors why are people saying that

Some things are ever so slightly more important than a game of football

"Some people think football is a matter of life or death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that".

Send an email out with a warning that you might die and the club accept no responsibility. Once you agree your ticket is active then its up to you if you want to go or not. Simples

Pep has just said in his Arsenal press conference "If Uefa say we have to play without spectators, we will. I would love to play with our fans. If it happens for a long time it makes no sense, but health is the most important thing. Getting it right in each country day by day."

Sounds to me like its UEFA's call

Can't for the UK media to rally behind Madrid's cry for action and start carrying the torch for it to be played behind closed doors. Just our game though.

There are currently no plans for Manchester City's Champions League clash with Real Madrid to be played behind closed doors. A sell-out crowd of around 55,000 fans are expected including an allocation of around 2,000 travelling Madrid fans

WTF is Bill Paisley?
Honestly I despair of some football fans these days.Shakes head in dis- belief. Unless you have already contracted corona virus and are suffering fever like symptons.

If I were Madrid that's exactly what I would want - No crowd at the City game.

Fkin shisters exploiting Coronavirus for their own ends. I hope they get well and truely beaten

If we decide its best for it to be behind closed doors then fair enough but if prem games are still being played with fans in attendance then surely this one will. All the Twitter virgins will be begging for it to be behind closed doors as they probably have their original jokes already saved in their drafts.

right ok

interesting there’s no way we should be expected to play really but we’ll see

He's also the Forest owner and it looks like he was at Forest Millwall on Friday, shaking hands, pictures with fans, potentially in the dressing room with the Forest squad, etc. Not good.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I'd say 50/50 at this point. Depends on how much it takes to get to the next stage, but very good chance it'll have escalated enough by that point.

As I bought 7 tickets for this game totaling about £320 , if I receive my money back I’ll be able to have a weeks holiday.....oh, hold on a minute

 

[typicalcity...]

Looks more and more likely.

Can’t cancel hotel I’ve booked for Madrid so if not, I’ll get a refund on my match ticket.

I’ll take a discount on next year’s season ticket though ;)

 

[colinthewindowcleaner]

If city v madrid cancelled surely premier league games would also be cancelled.
If it went on long enough then Livarpool wouldn’t mathematically win the league,
Every cloud..
