Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[manimanc]

The scousers thought they'd won it,
The title looked a cert.
Wanking themselves silly
Ending 30 years of hurt.
By far they were the best team.
It was proven by the stats.
Then china fucked the season
With aids from eating bats!!

Deluded fucking dippers,
Get back under ya rock,
And take that German with ya,
The buck toothed fucking cock.
Van Dyke, Firminho, Salah,
Your gonna win fuck all,
The country is ecstatic
Cos we all love Football!!!

That is class, I've pinched it and sent it on to a few.

I know the score!
She's fit, just, but she's put up with me for 27 years. Take her by all means but the 2 kids come with her. I'd give you 48 hours before your begging me to take them back!

Nah mate don't want to separate the kids from their loving papa
.

Exactly,he should have been complaining that all of those AM fans were coming in from an infection hotspot and he was concerned for the dippers health or telling them to put their health first and not come to the game

Wonder if he would have come with the same message had they beat AM

Football is irrelevant, titles are irrelevant, life is precious as are our loved ones.

Follow the link and read through to the end this is absolutely heartbreaking, I hope and pray to god, you and all your family and friends close to you do not have to go through this.

Keep safe fellow blues and make sure you do all you can for each other. There is going to come a time soon when many on this forum will have to come to terms if they can with great loss in their and our lives.

For anyone still thinking we will be passed the worst in a few weeks then I suggest you take a few moments to read this timeline of how things went in Italy:

Oh dear, how sad... nevermind.

Whilst all of the uncertainty surrounding LiVARpools title win is some comfort i think we all now know this goes much deeper than that. This is a virus against all of us, human kind is under attack and i think everything else pales into insignificance.

Look after eachother, be careful about whom you interact with if you show any symptoms and lets re-engage with our footballing enemies once the real enemy has been defeated.

bit harsh, mate. I mean, I don’t like them much as a football club, but calling Liverpool a “virus” is something the GPC would have done.

Neil Lennon on the radio going on and on about how Celtic should be awarded the title. That man is absolute scum and as thick as pig shit.

Beyond words, just utterly heartbreaking. Like I said previously, take care of yourself and those dear to you.

If the season is declared null and void do we lose our League Cup?

We already have it from last year. Bit like our league title

I asked my daughter's best friend who is a public health statistician and apparantly the reasoning for the government not cancelling sports stadium events is as follows.
If you attend a professional sport event you connect with on average 14 people. 6 people who you brush past en route to/from the game. The two people you sit next to, 3 people behind you and 3 people in front of you and the 3 people behind you can only be infectious to you. You are outside for the most part, so less infectious than indoors.
In comparison standing outside like the fans of PSG did is lethal. Watching sport in a pub is even worse as you are in an enclosed atmosphere with 25+ people.
No, the only reason for cancelling sport is if the players can spread it to each other or the use of umpteen police and emergency personal staff who can be better employed elsewhere.

Did the public health statistician mention the fans who travel to games on public transport where they are more likely to become infected, including those travelling from countries, and returning, on aircraft thus spreading it even more globally?

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

If the roles were reversed, i bet you many of us would accept it with far more ease than they will. The bulk of us would shrug it off as 'typical city'. And i dare guess many would see it for what it is, a global pandemic that scuppered a season of football, however promising.

Only because we won it last season. If it was the first in donkeys, we'd be apoplectic.

This. Anyone who thinks things will be fine in 3 weeks is naïve. It will take months for it to blow over and our government needs to act to minimise infections and deaths

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

If the season is declared null and void do we lose our League Cup?

Nah we’ve already won it. It would only apply to the league

 

[Chris in London]

Often in these cases the problem you have is the statisticians and behavioural scientists telling us this shit have rarely lived outside of their research bubble and venture into the real world inhabited by the rest of us.
I sat down and thought about my match experience from leaving our front door to getting home and we would come across at least ten times the 14 contacts mentioned.

what worries me squirty is that there are many in the upper levels of govt that were at twickenham a few weeks ago. They know the reality of mass queueing for a piss, especially when the entire crowd of 80,000 is in the 45-60 age range, they’ve all been drinking beer all day and they’ve all got bladder problems.

and they’ve come out with this shit about brushing past 3 people?

bollocks. They know that is not the reality. This is deliberate.

Thank you Jurgen for your kind words but we're still going cancel the season.

Four losses in last five games, he knows the wheels have fallen off.
