Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[WestGorton]

I agree with Pep. Stop if necessary. Resume the season in September or whenever and cancel next season if it gets bad. Lives are more important than football. Have next seasons league later next year into the summer and no cups .

Why is Italy getting twatted with it then?

because they had a pool of infected people for quite a long time which wasn't recognised. In fact the virus has mutated in Italy slightly so that it is possible to identify the geographical source by testing.

Will the turds at UEFA still want the jingle playing if there is nobody there to hear it?

 

[br88]

I really hope it's not behind closed doors. With a sell out crowd and the tie poised at 2-1 it could well be one hell of a night...especially against Real Madrid.

 

[Akpowell]

hopefully it’s cancelled before they win the league.

They won't cancel it until it's mathematically won.
Once they've won it they will cancel the rest of the league programme

Yep they had the jingle and centre circle flag as normal before the start of Valencia’s game tonight

They must have been so proud

Stop the leagues and appoint the finishing places as they stand now. Only fair.

Cups? Does it really matter?

Cant see the bottom 3 agreeing

I’ve been thinking!! It happens ok!! Even to the elderly! :-)

if they say they’ll play behind closed doors than why don’t we go down to City Square and the outside environs of the stadium and stand and cheer/blow our whistles/make a noise so the lads know we are still behind them routing for them?
If, as some, including myself, feel this is the UEFA so and so’s way of cheating us once again then let’s show them we know what they are doing! :-( :-)

JMHO We are Blue fans we never give in, we fight to the end!!

Something like the Valencia fans bus welcoming and no stop singing outside show the lads how good our support can be when they need us most

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Behind closed doors is one thing, but equally if not more weird is the possibility of the CL being suspended. While there is a risk of burn out and injury to our top performers, it would give Sane and Laporte time to get properly fit. Even with the speculation surrounding Sane, those two give us a positive dynamic. Sane, Sterling, Mahrez fighting it out for a wide position (Bernardo is more than a wide player).

Not a chance, surely it wouldn’t be legal? I see Serie A have said there’s three choices, finish the season as the positions are now, have a play off for the championship and relegation. Forgot what the third was, think it was just cancel it all.

 

[Mottram40]

I’m watched the Valencia game for 5 mins zero fans and the stadium has an echo. Horrendous to watch and from that 5 mins I’d cancel PL and CL stay champions league rather than on tv no fans. Not a fair tie one in front of home fans one without.
It feels like a training session on tv closed doors. Supposed to be electric city Vs Madrid.

 

[wattle]

It would be quite funny liVARpool win the league with no fans in the ground. Mind you they’d probably just break in

 

[Akpowell]

Has to be null and void

 

[goatersnipple]

The minute the dipper game v athletico finishes they will announce our game is behind closed doors.
That's it close this page now.
Thanks

Fecking ridiculous.

 

[cleavers]

Atalanta going through, where are they going to play their home game in the next round ?

It'll have to be cancelled/delayed in the end, they're just pretending at this point.

Spain France and Germany rapidly heading to the situation Italy faces, and we're not far behind, and that covers all the clubs left.

It’s nice to read sone level headed and well informed comments on the situation pal, they aren’t readily available in the wider media. You’re my official go to source for updates !

 

[cleavers]

Meanwhile a City with a bigger number of cases than a whole country, is being allowed to export 5000 people to that less infected country, its utterly ridiculous, why are we not telling them they can't come ? (I'm sure ours will be behind closed doors anyway for other reasons.)

He's good on the weather too ;-)
