Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Manchester City have donated boxes full of food to the Bolton NICE food bank following recent match postponements. The donations have proved particularly vital for people struggling as stockpilers have left supermarket shelves empty


“It is mathematically possible for Manchester City to catch them [Liverpool], even though they deserve to win the league, and until they cross that line you can’t give them the title!”

Aymeric Laporte: “We have the same protocol as has been given in all countries: stay at home as much as possible, don’t go out in the street, don’t shake hands. If you go to the supermarket and you see someone you know, say hello

Can't believe the scousers are rejoicing that the PL have announced the season will be finished whatever happens. Doesn't take a genius to see they're obviously buying time and protecting themselves from a shitstorm and threats of legal action from the clubs that will lose out. No chance is this season finishing

Spot on mate. All to do with tv money and some very large bets.

Er because look at the rest of Europe and the world shutting down all big public gatherings, bars, restaurants etc. Just 6 days ago they were willing to let 1 million people attend football matches. Do you really think that much has changed in that time or they’ve realised their herd immunity was a fuck up and have been trying to back track ever since?

Sorry for the political post on here but thought it was obvious they’d played as big a part as anyone in leaving it so late to postpone English football. In fact they didn’t even do it!

Sorry, but you are stating you know more than the experts.

Leave them to it, follow their advice and keep politics out of here. Cheers.

And stay healthy.

Only this.

Such is the fear of adding to the spread of this virus that a whole academic year are having their end of education exams cancelled. Exams that help shape their entire lives and yet some people seriously believe they will complete all the football leagues current seasons to their natural climax including including play offs and such?? When? How??

These people are Bat Sh*t crazy.
 
They’re determined to get the dippers across the line by whatever means. Absolutely EVERYONE can see this except the dipper loving media.
It’s embarrasing! The health of all the players and staff MUST come before ANY ‘fiddling’ to get the games played to ensure they ‘win’ the title. Just give it to them, and put a double asterisk **
The football leagues need to be cancelled and start afresh next season if there’s anything left.
 
If they insist on finishing the season in the summer what happens to the transfer window? Teams might be missing several players and coaches to the virus,then trying to put out a team and buy and sell at the same time

It is fucking madness
 
If it's suspended again till the end of May they have to void the season.

If football can restart in August and other European leagues have voided the 19/20 season and begin the 20/21 season how can the English leagues warrant continuing the 19/20 season?

If the try to finish the leagues what happens with players who are out of contract? They can't force players to resign temp contracts with their clubs, same for if clubs wanted rid of players whose contracts have finished how would they force clubs to extend them?

Chelsea have Willian, Pedro and Giroud all with contracts expiring in June. If they restart the 19/20 season with Chelsea missing 3 of their main players then they miss out on 4th and no CL they'd be a lawsuit coming. The integrity of the season is gone.
 
English football's total commitment to finishing off this season could lead to one or both of the domestic cups being scrapped for the 2020/21 campaign

Surely City as a club with all their personnel from the tea lady right up to Khaldoon, we have the rights too refuse to play on the grounds of health and safety considering covid-19 outbreak.
I can't see how the FA can go against request

They will given the title by the end of May, guarantee it.
 
The Premier League and the FA will do whatever is best for themselves, not LiVARpool.
The only thing they might do is try to influence clubs to allow them to have it even if the remaining games cannot be played.
Changing the language from "Null and Void" to "Curtailing" the league season suggest this is they way they want to go.
I'm not bothered if they manage to play the remaining games. The dippers will then win in properly. No argument from me.
Anything else is corruption. I hope City start legal action if they decide to "Award" it to them without them actually winning it.
All this asterisk stuff is bollocks.
